This rather violates the idea of putting things into -CURRENT first. Wouldn't it make more sense to merge this with my stuff in -CURRENT (once the feature freeze is over) and then MFC the whole mess to -STABLE? > The two versions are already divergent after your changes to > -current, How did that happen? This suggests that somebody put something into -STABLE without putting it into -CURRENT. Or do you just mean that they're different? > and in a sense this is partly an MFC e.g. the loader.rc changes, > Makefile.mfs relocation, and other things are inspired by your work > in -current. Given the feature freeze, and the fact that I'm in India, how about putting this off by a week until I'm back home, and I'll take a look at it? But don't feel obliged: feel free to improve on what I did in -CURRENT.
