Yes, this is just something that leaked over into this thread. Note that this is not just something I want to do, this is technically a bug in FreeBSD and a regresion that occured. And yes in general if the binaries live in the same directoy hard rather than soft links should be used, so another regresion. -- Rod Grimes rgri...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
