I am afraid I do not have enough time to create it now, but I have
a simple one which includes the bumped shared libraries and locale files.
It is available from:
- port skeleton:
http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x.tar.gz
- distfiles:
http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-alpha-5.4.tar.gz
http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-i386-5.4.tar.gz
http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-ia64-5.4.tar.gz
http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-pc98-5.4.tar.gz
http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-sparc64-5.4.tar.gz
I guess this may need some more work but it works. Any comments are
welcome.
Also, I have a request for compat5x which I did not include into my
prototype yet---rebuilding libc.so.5 with _PATH_LOCALE=/usr/local/share/compat/locale
in paths.h and make the old binaries use the old version of LC_* files
included in the package. This is because incompatibility of on-disk
format of LC_* files is a big hurdle especially for people in Asian
countries, who heavily depend on setlocale(3) when they upgrade their
system from 5.x to 6.x.
