I can see the value in contrib/ipfilter. sysorg.txt is not set in stone. :) For 3rd party software, it is better if we let the software keep it's distributed layout. The intention was that if you had device driver xyz, then it's sources would be in sys/contrib/dev/xyz/ and under that subdirectory it would follow the internal layout of the package. If we had a networking subdirectory, then sys/contrib/net/ipfilter would be the way to go, but since networking all lives at the top level, sys/contrib/ipfilter is probably fine. Thus, some examples that might help illustrate: sys/contrib/fs/my_spiffs_fs/ sys/contrib/dev/my_spiffy_device_driver/ sys/contrib/vm/my_spiffy_vm_pager/ sys/contrib/my_spiffy_networking_code/ sys/contrib/my_spiffy_kernel_debugger/ sys/contrib/compat/3rd_party_foo_os_emulation/ sys/contrib/lib/my_spiffy_kernel_library/ sys/contrib/boot/my_spiffy_boot_loader/ -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
