In the mean time, people are using Perforce because it's an effective tool to do the job. Believe me, I'd rather *not* be using two (or two and a half) different version control and software source management schemes, but the practical reality is that CVS cannot provide what I need to do what I do. Once there's a reliable free version control system that can be the One True System, I'll be extremely pleased to use it. Until then, well... :-) Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Project robert@fledge.watson.org NAI Labs, Safeport Network Services To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
