The âstruct gproviderâ got two new members in the middle of a public struct, so this might cause programs built against the old headers to access the wrong member with the new library or the other way around. That's exactly what happened to us at least with grub2. I'm attaching the trivial patch we are using in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. thanks, guillem --mP3DRpeJDSE+ciuQ Content-Type: text/x-diff; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="libgeom_abi_bump.patch" Index: lib/libgeom/Makefile =================================================================== --- lib/libgeom/Makefile (revision 223144) +++ lib/libgeom/Makefile (working copy) @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ # $FreeBSD$ LIB= geom +SHLIB_MAJOR= 1 SHLIBDIR?= /lib SRCS+= geom_getxml.c SRCS+= geom_stats.c --mP3DRpeJDSE+ciuQ-- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-geom To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
