I read the FAQ section "For serious FreeBSD hackers only" and followed the instructions there, but there are some things left unanswered. My experience with different maintainers is that there are specific preferences that maintainers have for submitting patches and fixes, so I'd like to be as compliant as possible. 1. What parts of the build process do I really need the 'vn' pseudo-device for? If all I want is to build a few user apps and a kernel, but not a boot image, do I need the 'vn' interface? 2. How do you want diffs to ChangeLog file(s)? I couldn't find general purpose ChangeLog files to update in the src/sys CVS tree. So where do I document my changes and how do I submit them. 3. If I'm submitting a feature enhancement source patch, should I use send-pr, or use send-pr only for bugs and their fixes. Thanks, Erez.
