This is never, ever necessary.
Links are prone to be forgotten, this is why you add this kind of
hack into the /etc/libmap.conf file instead.

Really really a bad idea.

Slightly less bad, but still likely to be forgotten. One also has to
assume that if the folks who write the shared lib chose to bump the
version number it was for a good reason. That's not always true, but
it's true more often than it is not.

A better suggestion would be to do this:

mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg
cd /usr/local/lib
mv libgettextpo.so.4 and libintl.so.8 /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/
/etc/rc.d/ldconfig start

Then go about rebuilding your ports in an orderly manner until those
libraries are no longer needed, at which point you can delete them.


hth,

Doug

Oy, sorry, didn't think that all the way through. Instead of 'mv' it
should be 'cp,' then:
cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext
make clean ; make
pkg_delete gettext*
make install clean

I agree about both options but just as likely whether it be libmap.conf
or a path in far distant directory usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/* are
equally just as easy to be forgotten IMO. Though I do not know off the
top of my head whether portmaster or any of the other utils look at
removing files from the compat/pkg directory either which is why I state
the previous.

This brought me to the thought of a periodic check that would check for
the existence of libmap.conf and usr/local/compat/pkg and display the
contents or just warn of those being there and possibly populated.

Anyhow regards,
