The consensus seems to be to get rid of this. Some folks (including me) may need this tool soon after install, but don't necessarily have immediate external net connectivity from which to get the port. To this end, why not leave this in base, but make a seperate collection for sysinstall (default to _not_ install) and put it there along with the other 'r' tools, and enable the building of these with a make.conf variable for source upgrades? If this is acceptable, I'm volunteering to do the patches. -Brian -- Brian Dean bsd@FreeBSD.org bsd@bsdhome.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
