I was surfing the dragonflybsd wiki site the other day and found out that they are doing a "base-cleanup". That is they are compiling the tools that come with the base system with WARNS?=6 ... Humm... This is something that I could do.. Minor cleanup (since I'm no C expert or a OS developer ;) this fits my skillset just fine. Now I have two questions is this something that will be appriciated by someone ? (that is would this clean-up if done properly find its way to the tree ?... nobody likes going through "trouble" like this when it will have no affect ;). If so.. what is the diff format that is expected (diff -crN ?) and should this be sent via send-pr(1) ? I know that a ,,clean-up'' like this is propably not high on the todo list for FreeBSD but.. for me this would be an easy way to contribute something back since I have no skill to work in the kernel &c. -- Thordur I. FreeBSD - Unix the way *I* like it. A man can do as he will, but not will as he will.
