We need to lighten our burden of backwards compatibility code and libcompat is in the crosshairs. libcompat pertains to compatibility with FreeBSD-1 and earlier versions of BSD. libcompat may or may not disappear in 5-stable, but it is 100% certain to die in -current as soon as 5-stable has been branched. Therefore, please as soon as possible eliminate -lcompat use from your ports. Thankyou! -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
