I think that might miss the point. The original plan was to _remove_ the old version after one release, so that we wouldn't need to establish a museum of instances. In other words, you'd one day end up with just /usr/apache2, and nothing else. > After look around in /usr, I wonder if that same should be done for > Perl since version 6 will eventually become more prevalent (but who > knows?). A transition makes sense to me. If we *really* need to maintain multiple versions (as with the JVM), then that's a separate path. I'd hope we don't have to do that, as it's a lot of baggage to carry around. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
