: :Part of your proposal is to build the mini-c without language support. So :you are going to do a change, that in the future has simply to be reverted :step by step. I can't see how this buys us anything. : :harti :-- :harti brandt, http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private I think you are missing the whole point of having a mini-c. And I also do not agree with you *AT ALL* in regards to anything having to be reverted. Mini-C by necessity would exist for those people who want a tiny /bin. You don't have to use it. Nor is Mini-C necessarily limited to English. It may be necessary for specific support to be added for othe country's (to support ctype.h which is the only thing in mini-c that has language dependancies), but again the whole point is to create a mechanism that allows people to crunch down their /bin and /sbin if they want to. You obviously don't want to crunch down your /bin and /sbin, so its no skin off your nose. Stop complaining. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
