Out of interest, has there been any attempt at running Bonsai or a similar CVS checkin tracking tool for the FreeBSD repository? It'd make trying to track down "this change went in on date X, affecting files A, B, C and D, and was checked in by Z"-type things much easier. I've run Bonsai myself and it's incredibly useful for such things. Is there an equivalent system running for FreeBSD? -Antony To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
