Please remove usr.sbin/sicontrol as well if this gets removed: OLD_FILES+=3Dusr/sbin/sicontrol OLD_FILES+=3Dusr/share/man/man8/sicontrol.8.gz ... > spic(4): At one point the Sony VAIO was "the" cool laptop, and this = driver > controlled the "jogdial" found on it and presented it as a = mouse. > This is a tiny driver and is less invasive in terms of future > maintenance than others perhaps, but my recent calls for = testing > on current@ and stable@ found no takers.
