BTW, I'm not sure, but think that what happen to me could also happen to Sape. Anyway, now that I know it's not a big deal; although I still think it would be more clean to keep all the 386 binaries updated. thanks a lot again. --upas-opkdafbmjmmwozvxmbwwelplmh Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by aquamar; Mon May 19 09:33:25 MDT 2003 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.20.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 473D819BDC; Mon, 19 May 2003 03:33:13 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com (plan9.bell-labs.com [204.178.31.2]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 108FB19BCF for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Mon, 19 May 2003 03:32:10 -0400 (EDT) Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Mon May 19 03:32:09 EDT 2003 Received: from 64.36.89.66 ([64.36.89.66]) by plan9; Mon May 19 03:32:06 EDT 2003 Message-ID: To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: Re: [9fans] suggestion: avoiding out of date binaries From: "Russ Cox" In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Mon, 19 May 2003 03:32:10 -0400 For non-386 binaries, you are on your own. As Geoff points out, you are also on your own for non-386 compilers, loaders, and assemblers. In both cases the theory is that almost no one uses them, so they're not worth the space they take up. The first case is more defensible than the second. Russ --upas-opkdafbmjmmwozvxmbwwelplmh--
