But we could have our patch understand that : one "\ missing newline" option in a patch. Adding that support should : not break any patches which currently work. I'm planning on doing that before I back out the changes. gnupatch groks it correctly, and so should our patch :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
