In this case, it's based on the existing stuff, but with so many changes, I think that just applying a diff will double the size of the change. If it was an initial import, I'd know how to handle that, but doing an import of a piece of software whose name (and module name) already exists, I don't know how to do that. BTW, it's the mm macros. Please, DON'T do it for me, I want to learn how to do it. I'm done far more than a reasonable amount of testing, and I've had it checked, I just need to know the cvs mechanics. > > Eivind. > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
