No - because I came up with it less than a week ago, and have been trying to find a fix that I feel really solve the problem and is appropriate as an 'official fix'. However, it was mentioned elsewhere in the thread that ISC (in the form of Ted Lemon) was already fixing the problem theselves, which would make any work I do to most likely be a waste of time. However, this is in some ways besides the point. Vendor branches are a *source management technique*. They could as well have been called Q-branches, except that 'vendor branches' describe how they are usually used. The point of checking in the temporary fix along the vendor branch is to have the next version of the vendor's offical sources obliterate the change. Thus, by putting it on the vendor branch we get exactly the behaviour we want. Eivind. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
