compatibility layers
FREEBSD_COMPAT was also yanked recently, quite honestly, I wish it was COMPAT_LINUX that got pushed in front of a whale.

Is there anyway of re-enabling FREEBSD_COMPAT? Even though I have FreeBSD on the Sunblade now, I have another disk and another machine I can run OpenBSD on. The compat would be a nice feature if it is available for the sparc64.

No, the source code was placed in the CVS attic.. it only ever worked on i386, and it hasn't been maintained in years.

COMPAT_LINUX versus FREBSD_COMPAT
Well, that would break use of the Flash plugin with Opera, acroread, and building the older JDKs for the browser plugin, so I guess not everybody agrees.

What's your point?

What do you use that requires FREEBSD_COMPAT? FreeBSD emulator in the ports is very old, based on FreeBSD 4.11's libs.

I think someone's working on adding icedtea to OpenBSD so there would be a JRE plugin for browsers. I do not know if there is any progress. |
