Things that are brought in on vendor branches should be identical to the contents of packages distributed by the vendors themselves. Any time you move away from what the vendor supplied, you increase the number of extra delatas you have to think about the next time there is a vendor release, and you go to import it. Eventually, we may be able to bring a source tree in on a vendor branch, if CVSup ever gets rewritten in C so that someone can hack it into the code. When that happens, CVS managed projects explicit importation should become totally unnecessary. But any deltas that are maintained locally will end up being necessary to roll forward, and attic deletions are ugly that way. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
