It's true that the INRIA distribution method is rather unusual. But believe it or not, it made my life much easier when porting this to -current, because I had the complete original source files at hand rather than having to download a full 2.2.5 source release. I assume that's why this method was chosen. OTOH, for the end user, this complicates the process a lot. Anyway it's not difficult at all to generate patches from these, that's what I do for my port to -current. Regarding the docs, I agree that WIDE has an edge on this. -- Pierre Beyssac pb@fasterix.frmug.org pb@fasterix.freenix.org {Free,Net,Open}BSD, Linux : il y a moins bien, mais c'est plus cher Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager@EU.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
