Looking on my systems, it's clear that there's still occasional use of libresolv.so.1 on sparc. Binary compatibility goes back a long way - I use 20+ year old binaries on a daily basis. Whether it needs to be kept in Illumos is another matter - but I do think that if you take it out you need to have a legacy vault for retired software. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
