For example, both contrib/ and gnu/usr.bin/ contain source for patch(1), but the sdiff(1) source is only in gnu/usr.bin. Am I correct in thinking that if source exists in the contrib/ branch then that is used to build the binary, and if not the code in gnu/usr.{bin,sbin}/ is used instead? -- ...and on the eighth day God created UNIX ________________________________________________________________ FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark/ mailto:mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
