For the simple reason that A) there is no public CVS tree yet at mozilla.org is there? B) It would be alot nicer to have a FreeBSD cvs tree for the mozilla code. And then submit patches back to them. I dont feel were betraying mozilla as chuck says if we start a FreeBSD CVS tree as long as we feed the patches back to them. I think it would tend to accelerate a well maintained FreeBSD port if we kept a CVS tree then fed patches back. I'm not aware of the full story behind the scenes of what halp the FreeBSD project gave the mozilla people. So I might be missing some facts. But I personally dont see the harm in us maintaining a FreeBSD CVS tree and submitting the patches back to mozilla.org. Naturally everyone is going to have an opinion on wether this is a respectable move in the eyes of the mozilla people. Well im tired and confused :) so im off to la la land. Much discussion will in no doubt follow. Chris -- "I am closed minded. It keeps the rain out." ===================================| Open Systems Networking And Consulting.
