I don't know how useful it would be other than to alert people to changes to watched parts of the tree as you mention. However, anyone can use a regex on cvs-all subjects to get that themselves. Commits to src are, quite a bit more often than ports, not functional fixes or otherwise changes. Hence they are not nearly as useful to the average user. So I don't think it's a good idea. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
