If you are using a GPS device with nmeaattach(8), please switch to

ldattach(8) now.


The nmeaattach command has been removed in -current, so has the

nmeaattach_flags option in /etc/rc.conf (replaced with ldattach_flags).


Please note that ldattach(8) has a slightly different synopsis than

nmeaattach(8) had:


	nmeaattach cuaU0


becomes


	ldattach nmea cuaU0

Thanks Marc for passing on this information.  Can you describe in

No need to have two ways to do one thing.

ldattach is more generic; it can handle all existing and future line

discliplines

we do not want more than one utility to attach line disciplines.  and

ldattach(8) superseedes nmeaattach(8).  there is no need to keep

the latter.
