The quoting made it look like this was a wishlist, not a list of lost functionality. 8-(. Yes, this looks bad. > http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=83960+0+archive/2002/cvs-all/20020421.cvs-all > http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=52063+0+archive/2002/cvs-all/20020421.cvs-all Not a mailing list I generally follow; when I do pull down a digest, I usually filter out discussions that happen on the list. This seems taken care of by Steve Kargyl's patch in the second message, unless you are actually suggesting that the -N and -z be reimplemented? Yeah, I agree that lost functionality is bad. Why not revert the changes, unless there's a commitment to bring the new code back up to snuff with the old code? The dump file format argument is bogus; it can be reverted as well. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
