(1) That's a bitch to type (I know.. "so bookmark it") (2) Without a working knowledge of cvsup, no-one thinks to look there. (3) /handbook/porting.html doesn't mention that. I knew such a page existed (actually, I assumed, because I know the cvs tree is online). Regardless, the above page should be mentioned in /handbook/porting.html and instructions on how to view the cvs log for that file manually should be given. - bill fumerola [root/billf]@chc-chimes.com - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800)252.2421 x128 / bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - BF1560 - "Logic, like whiskey, loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large quantities" -Lord Dunsany To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
