Wrong on both: - libedit has a readline compatibility mode that has replaced GNU readline in the other BSDs. - If you look in the archives you will find patches. If there really was any effort to remove GPL'd stuff from the tree it missed this big time: GNU readline is a library under the GPL (not LGPL), it should be dead long ago. Now, after running the lang/gcc43 "make check" on my amd64 I don't really understand why we would be in a hurry to update to it. Pedro.Received on Sat Jan 31 2009 - 22:22:06 UTC
