All the kernel functions present in v8 are also present in v9, so there is no need to a compatibility option inside the kernel. The compat-8x _port_ delivers the compatibility for libraries (versions and their calls) that have changed from v8 to v9. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
