Most people will already have the source file on their system anyway (unless they cvsup from cvsup3, which doesn't carry it) - this was one of the changes that went with the crypto repo unification. It should take no more than 1/2 hour + build testing time :-) Kris -- In God we Trust -- all others must submit an X.509 certificate. -- Charles Forsythe <forsythe@alum.mit.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
