OK. I hope the cat stuff I did doesn't conflict with other work being done. Is Peter acting as the CVS meister, or as the 4.4 lite 2 Meister (or both)? Any 4.4lite2 sources I brought in, I'd planned on doing via: cvs import blah/blah/blah CSRG bsd_44_lite_2 to match other tags I've seen in the tree. Then, if my past experience is any guide, I'd just have to do a cvs update -j bsd_44_lite -j bsd_44_lite_2 after checking out the current source. However, that won't always work and many times you have to do that by hand give how much the sources have changes since 4.4Lite. Warner
