(also concerning 4.x) Are new entries added on a case-by-case basis, or is an occasional wholesale sync against some other source -- say, the NetBSD usbdevs for example -- performed on occasion? I ask because I've added a few devices locally to my usbdevs, and many of them have already been present in NetBSD. At the last time I hacked my usbdevs, I came up with size differences like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 beer wheel 65281 Sep 23 10:13 usbdevs.h-LATEST_RELENG4 -rw-r--r-- 1 beer wheel 2300 Oct 8 21:21 usbdevs.h-latest-patch -rw-r--r-- 1 beer wheel 65763 Oct 9 09:12 usbdevs.h-before-NetBSD -r--r--r-- 1 beer wheel 90900 Nov 2 19:52 usbdevs.h As you see, there's a heap more in the netbsd-based usbdevs.h that I ended up using, than is present in today's 4.x usbdevs.h (unchanged since 20.sep as seen above). I think it would be nice if all the usbdevs files (4.x, 5.x, -current, netbsd, others) were as similar as possible. Otherwise, I'll need to see how much in addition to the -latest-patch above I need for 4.x to perform for me as the Big File, and submit that... thanks barry bouwsma
