Wouldn't it stand to reason that these people would fall into one of the
following categories?

1) already running tcpd, which will continue to work
2) they will be unwrapped just like they were before the upgrade

This is what happened to me when I upgraded from 2.2.8 to 3.1 w/o reading the
release notes.

I like Andrzej's module a _lot_ better than the xlock module.  It looks (IMO)
more like the screen from the movie and doesn't eat all of my CPU cycles.

Have you tried the SCO client with the IBCS module loaded?  I've been using it
with great success for a while.

There is a RELENG_4 branch, but no 4.0-RELEASE as yet.

Take a look at perl's build process.  After you are done, take a look at how
Mark M. mangled it to make it fit nicely into FreeBSD's buildworld process.
After your eyes uncross, you'll understand why no one is falling all over
themselves to tackle the issue.  It's not trivial.

Parts of the core OS depend on perl.  Making those parts depend on a port is
unacceptable.  Importing a new version of perl, ESPECIALLY a version which is
not 100% backwards compatible with the one currently in the tree is a delicate
process.  Unfortunately, perl's build process makes it much harder than it
should.

If you need the new functionality, install the port.  I have every 
confidence that perl 5.6.x will eventually be imported into the tree.  Now is
a bit too soon though.

Perl 5.6.0

2000-04-07 Thread Keith Stevenson

Mark,

  I had some free time today so I started converting perl 5.6.0 to bmake.
So far, I've gotten libperl to build and plan to keep at the rest of it.
Given my schedule, it will probably take me another week to get the build
right and another week or so to test its integration with build/installworld.

Regards,
