Perhaps we could make a smooth transition by implementing both methods on our kernel, then update glibc to use the new one, and only remove the deprecated method in our kernel after a full release cycle. Petr, do you think this could fly? We'd be breaking backward compatibility in userland, but if I understand correctly we do this already and our only supported upgrade path is "first upgrade kernel, then userland" anyway. -- Robert Millan _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
