Initially mergemaster was a port which gave lots of people the opportunity to gain familiarity with it easily. At some point after it had been a port for a while there was a "critical mass" of people suggesting that it be moved into the base system since it was one of those ports that almost everyone installed anyway. That said, I have no objection to whatever the community decides should be done with etcupdate. Given that they approach the problems of updating differently I think that there will be people who are more attracted to it instead of mergemaster, and that's fine too. :) hth, Doug - -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJMEUmdAAoJEFzGhvEaGryEf4UH/jj+mXScik9Oo1kQWEBRn4b6 qLpVFKScsEX5OXKXAzgu48tDA9P9rkZOsL9thlyhPR2G4CsPyIl7EpYk0o91uvV7 +GUwBhI/MXh4GFwq0p42U92wbO9lRslg9vXkV0m+KoSXnswlIuqYLkfmwhuXu1QV Mc7cE4L3Ud6xnvvcmt3NTvyKatEYqvoIgF5FjXXgMUOjpWxWnLkgV/iq7/KFA4uf o+a2yWwRVrXVv73QX5UBcjFUBbO9jDhgK/RCa5z6g7csggkK9rdzsYJedrfYMkoz 3LOGqOkC64HeJBAHhUKUl+1V/CNvK6vkbDbLRvu/FV7mHPrRB6COzw0LuRFcEWA= =msL6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
