I was curious. When shared libraries are released for the general public, are the FreeBSD folks planning on keeping both the static and shared binary packages on-line? For the bigger packages, I'm really starting to enjoy just picking up the binaries when it's all I really need. Makes life much easier for me. Perhaps the statically bound stuff will just eventually be phased out? Thanks, - Steve steve2@genesis.nred.ma.us
