Well, I contacted the gnats list and it seems there's a new version out sometime soon and it has the bug I found fixed as well as many others so I think we should see what it looks like first. A client server model was mentioned which sounds interesting. > > What about `devel'? Should be shipped to the CVS suppers/ctmers, but > not go into the regular distribution. In principle though I think a separate cvs tree for our development code has some merits and some problems. It means we can track local changes more easily but it also means we end supporting our own tools rather than relying on the orginal authors to do so. In the case of gnats it seems the original authors are doing more work than we are and we should liaise with them in getting the improvements we want into the next release. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
