Hi Robert, I feel your pain. The package name was discussed on pkg-discuss earlier this month and essentially we're following the existing convention used by sparc, which has the following packages: system/kernel/dynamic-reconfiguration/sun-fire-15000 system/kernel/dynamic-reconfiguration/sun-fire-880 system/kernel/dynamic-reconfiguration/ultra-enterprise-10000 An RFE has been filed to combine the above, as well as the i86pc version, into a single package called system/kernel/dynamic-reconfiguration which I think everyone can agree would be much easier since there should be no need to distinguish between the different architectures. --Mike
