Re: WIP citrus patch
:> Hi all,

:> The patch at http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~joerg/citrus4.diff

:> After applying the patch, if you want to test it, remove the

Nice URL reference. It looks like exactly what we want.
A couple of us have been talking about how to do a major libc bump
gracefully. At the moment I think that since we will be doing major
work on several areas of libc that will require the version bump,
we should probably rename the current libc source hierarchy libc4 and
dup the CVS tree to create a libc5, and then be able to select one or
the other for the buildworld (with it defaulting to libc4). Not both,
just one or the other :-) (because the /usr/include files need major
work too). This way a subset of developers who want to track the
new work and who know how to deal with libc blowing up the whole
system can, and everyone else can stick with libc4.
Joerg is investigating the Makefile framework required to make this
happen.
