But really, how often does the RCS code change? This is a piece of = software you get running once, and then leave alone. The last thing we = want is for it to start growing "features" :-P There seems to be an ever-increasing paranoia about adopting code in the = base. Are we going to end up at the point where /usr/src/ is nothing = but a bunch of Makefiles with VPATH pointed at /usr/src/contrib? I get = it for large outside components that are moving targets (e.g. llvm). = But RCS? I think the paranoia might be a bit overdone in this case. --lyndon --Apple-Mail=_62553C5E-DC82-4F30-B802-A3439F39C50E Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVTkSDAAoJEG8PnXiV/JnU2rgP/jZLVABooFki6wGme+I6wEFt 2v5Nr/bu6b6y63ZZV5vLKAZ+2sDCXdRSOx8DKvdc3vhowffNrqG1y1dSzOnC16j5 6dkO/ZYL4JbkEJA+lG4FibKp3kH7GwCImcEP1UJhDpJ4l7uuPcrvm5wKghIcdrdP qlLyWL9k7Xlbch36NB+IIOLSOnBfQzV++dh9IlYoA36g0dP/OKtdl2RiejnUNW3S VtDFDz5cadghGwCEfJvBHObjZWlsPANohpFD6a+iGHHRWrLA8ZlNtvf4BYwNNJuL zoXc21C4s++6ht5kdNIw4Nua6wPGRmqiQGkfz3tfFkTsKzau/HXtYaxppp+k6ip7 6/CL++vltO/djXeV9oM2tk8qonU8vIW3mBN68J8YjX37ld/WFEddZPAcRGw8R3tt SrueNVqeiw5SE5J93RTipyfbSlzxktnmn7ayA63tDtKXE0OipHFI3fmgA34+/Lcg gZw4yb0Q3MfTHfOwQWAyXK7pFtTKsfuWOvl+MMREaVncQk/1NQNWL/mIsJjyUphU aO/7HJlhQgpWfb0FC+2PQdDKMNdDD/bDhE/urC6o0oawcW/4GnAm0qfk7j05CBpf DxzVaSAp558zrgUqpE72lNuPS7QrkyOPVEEcOrylZMlAKEkHayK3HZtMDtk1qmyx Hg/JchnsEbj6ofOLIYtA =XmdN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_62553C5E-DC82-4F30-B802-A3439F39C50E--
