Because fetch(3) is very reasonable (I thank you, DES), I wrote some programs that use libfetch and the programs have some non-experienced users. When the guys will deploy new 4.5-RELEASE systems, they will confuse and contact me because the programs does not work even with compat libraries.

Please do not expect users to do by hand. -- NIIMI Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
