No, it's optional (User Portability Utilities option, POSIX2_UPE). ed is required by POSIX, though. ;-) Ulrich -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Yes these are a lot of moves, sincerely I think sys-* categories are a bit bloated as they are, and I suppose we should start moving the things around rather than waiting forever ad ever.. I guess I don't see the point. If you do move them, don't forget about documentation changes. -- fonts, gcc-porting, by design, by neglect mips, treecleaner,for a fact or just for effect wxwidgets @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
