"Backwardly compatible" generally means that, although designed and built for the new one, it will still run on the old one (i.e., it's compatible in a backward direction). Something built on and for the old one that still runs on the new one is often called "investment-preserving". _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
