Hello! After some discussion on svn mailing list [1], there is intention to remove SVR4 binary compatibilty layer from FreeBSD head, meaning that FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE, available in couple of years would be shipped without it. There is no intention of merge of the removal. The stable@ mailing list added for wider audience. P.S. I account any objector as taker of maintainership :) [1] https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2017-February/096502.html -- Totus tuus, Glebius.
Hi, Is this removing is because no-interest on maintaining it? If it helps, I am working to use the `kern_* instead sys_*` as mentioned patch in that discussion suggests for svr4, if this helps. -- Best wishes, MMokhi.
