From a42134a70be89e902efa6dfd1484e21aa040acb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Drepper Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1998 09:48:32 +0000 Subject: Update. 1998-11-21 Andreas Jaeger * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/netinet/ip_fw.h: Removed. There are too many differences between the Linux 2.0 and 2.1 versions of this file and it's too difficult to convert all calls. The file should only be needed by the ipfw program which has to take care of the correct kernel version and include files. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Dist: Remove netinet/ip_fw.h. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdep_headers): Likewise. --- FAQ.in | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) (limited to 'FAQ.in') diff --git a/FAQ.in b/FAQ.in index f80342b..c15611d 100644 --- a/FAQ.in +++ b/FAQ.in @@ -1094,6 +1094,14 @@ versions defined this but it was an error since it does not make much sense when thinking about it.
