Dear Members, A few weeks ago, I started to work on docs/126030 [1] in cooperation with Gavin Atkinson and Giorgos Keramidas to update chapter ``Source Tree Guidelines and Policies'' of the ``FreeBSD Developers' Handbook'' [2]. Based on Gavin's original patch, I created drafts on how to fix the sections in question (and I linked them below). During the update, I found useful to include a section of Dag-Erling's Subversion Primer on the Wiki [3] about vendor imports. At the moment, I do not erase the old text (about vendor imports with CVS) but I kept it for compatibility reasons (and moved to a separate subsection as des@ advised). However, if somebody says it is deemed to be removed I will do that. Because I am not so experienced in vendor imports (as a doc committer) but I would like to help Gavin (and others who want this book updated), I ask you to review my changes and express your ideas, comments and suggestion. Draft of section (5.1) MAINTAINER on Makefiles: http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/for_review/2008-08-21/html/policies.html Draft of section (5.2) Contributed Software: http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/for_review/2008-08-21/html/policies-contributed.html Diff for the curious: http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/for_review/2008-08-21/books.developers-handbook.policies.diff Thank you in advance.
