Great! > the context diff file is weighing in about ~25k, and while the FreeBSD > Handbook says i should email diffs to this mailing list, i just wanted to Yes, that's what the handbook says, and I've been planning to read-through that section for a while (and probably will this weekend, now) and fix those little things. :) Use send-pr to submit any-such feature-additions or bugfixes. If you think it worthwhile, you can also send a note to freebsd-hackers/freebsd-committers pointing to the pr so that (hopefully) it comes to someone's attention. The reason for sending it via send-pr is that email to -hackers will sometimes disappear. If it is sent-pr, it will not disappear, although it may languish for a while (do not interepret any slowness in addressing it as ingratitude on FreeBSD's part --- just part of the (unfortunate) nature of the beast). -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe hackers" in the body of the message
