That's what's been done for things like slcompress and deflate (zlib), but I don't think it's the right thing to do - you may get opposition from -committers. I think it should maybe be held under src/sys/crypto and .PATH:'d from src/crypto so that (as you say) people with kernel sources don't get a half-missing implementation. I don't think it's possible or likely that anyone would ever want userland sources without kernel sources (IMHO anyway). This is probably non-trivial :-/ > -Archie > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org> <brian@[uk.]FreeBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; <brian@[uk.]OpenBSD.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
