* From: Mark Murray <mark@grondar.za> * The two ports (sorta) achieve the same end goal, but are horribly * different in both method and implementation. I reckon Sheldon took the * right route, but if he had gone through a repo copy, it would not have * hurt. 50-50. Toss the coin :-) The point here is that people usually don't have the right idea on what is history worth preserving. Not to use Sheldon, who's doing great work in general, as an example, but whether it looks "interesting" is really not an issue and I don't want people making decisions based on faulty premises. People, please ASK before you commit a related port if there is any shadow of doubt. (If you went to check the history of another port, that's usually enough to cast the "shadow". :) This is all I'm saying, over and over and in the committer's guide. -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
