Hmm. It might be nice to have around as a port, but I don't see why it would need to be in the base system. We just tossed perl *out* of the base system, and perl is a lot more useful [in day-to-day work] than sccs would be.

Perhaps the CD's should include the source for the port... :-) [one that would compile and install on the current FreeBSD's, and not just the source for the original sccs] -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
