Yes, that's how I did it. (You have to add the license/copyright notice.) Actually, you get 4 different mapfiles from the old spec files: spec/amd64/mapfile # from an i386 build machine spec/i386/mapfile spec/sparc/mapfile # from a sparc build machine spec/sparcv9/mapfile Hopefully, these will be identical (modulo sorting within each version) If so, you only need one new mapfile, common/mapfile-vers If there are small differences among the 4 mapfiles, please create a common/mapfile-vers with all the common stuff and separate <isa>/mapfile-vers files for the <isa>-specific stuff. (See usr/src/lib/libproc for a simple example) > - Do you expect any problems using the new scheme if the > build machine is running build 37? No problem. One of my build machines is running build 23. > - Would you be interested in reviewing the changes for the transition > from *.spec to "mapfile-vers" ? Sure. Whan you're ready, let me know. Roger
