Think of it as FreeBSD's "MS-Windows Update" functionality. To date, CVSup was too difficult to easily integrate w/in /usr/src. A new CVS sup'ing program writting in a language supported by the toolchain in the base system (FORTRAN would be fine, for example) should be overly welcomed into the tree. Don't worry guys, it would only add 1 minute to your build world times. -- -- David (obrien_at_FreeBSD.org)Received on Thu Jul 08 2004 - 15:02:10 UTC
