Looks like all the previous hints have not been clear enough. There is no direct relation between COMPAT_FREEBSD8 and misc/compat8x. COMPAT_FREEBSD<X> options are only needed when going from release X to release X+1 there was a change to an existing system call at the kernel-userland boundary. A side note: kernel options affect only what's in the kernel, quite obviously. misc/compat<X>x contains versions of shared libraries from release X that are no longer present in X+1. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
