Please keep in mind that the interface here to release build processes has been relatively stable for a long time. Gratuitous changes for no clear benefit would not be well received if it means having to do things significantly differently on some branches to others. Knowledge of how this works, and/or workarounds for the quirks in it embedded in at least the following: mergemaster etcupdate snapshot builder release build process cluster release build process my employer's release build process, along with other people's. If there's a clear benefit that makes disrupting those all worth it, it had better be more tangible than "it looks cleaner". You're right that it's far from pretty, but its dealt with the same way at least as far back as stable/4 and consistency is important to some of us. -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; KI6FJV [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (Darwin) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUIfFlAAoJEDXWlwnsgJ4EeNwH/RyMCpxZ9DJQg54urQ13uSrg FbYCsHtRS214XRNzbrvCLuUsS5spPNWIJb/BBGvGGA5799TDfH01qhHXBkAgM5rg FUaE8FniYEmlqmdQ+gQiCgM4TXCvrXih1rjvOa7LOX2eVqjkpQchM4FXlSKcK/Is FQngL84rEZK1VYGPQ1pmghca4rNlJEJ+xAhocxY+j1+vjw2RIDcMkFCnfVM5c9+S bErCFjk26y1AanNYxLNYyrSQ4tyekMW01f21Cd9x32jnBVO9PAA9HYKZLhOt9Vz7 QpGS1YPl50yjZSu/2dcbgyKmu6DcceEhRc53SVJPwjIUq5CsmvkgSJBnFMP43e8= =aPO2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
