Sometime this weekend (July 3-5) I am planning to repository-copy the soft-updates sources from their current location in "src/contrib/sys/softupdates" to "src/sys/contrib/softupdates". All of you using soft-updates will need to adjust your symbolic links in "src/sys/ufs/ffs" after this change has taken effect. The reasons for the move have been discussed before. Briefly, we want to move all of the kernel code to "src/sys" so that the sys tree will be more self-contained. Kirk McKusick has agreed to this change -- in fact he favors it. I'm going to do this in both the -current and RELENG_3 branches. Here is the 1-question FAQ: Q. These symbolic links are a pain. Why don't you just edit "src/sys/conf/files" appropriately? A. The license terms for soft-updates do not permit that. See the FreeBSD mailing list archives (the FreeBSD-current list, probably) for more details. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
