I hope somebody will correct me if I have gotten some things wrong. We want a CVS repository so that: a) We can easily work on the FreeBSD specific bugs using it. This includes incomplete patches. I really don't think the netscape people will feel offended if the patches we give them are complete and tested to work. b) We can work on features and make sure the new features work also on FreeBSD. Who else but *we* would be the support group for FreeBSD? And as such, why shouldn't we co-ordinate among ourselves and have a CVS repository to help in this? And why would the netscape people feel offended? *DISCLAIMER* - everything wtitten is my personal oppinion. I represent nobody but myself.
