For example, OpenBSD=20 doesn't have an m3 port for non-x86 platforms (at least not the last time I= =20 checked). Although that doesn't directly relate to FreeBSD, it's does mean= =20 that cvsup probably isn't as widespread as it would be if it had a nice,=20 portable C implementation. I had spoken to John Polstra a while back about rewriting it in C++, but th= at=20 turned into Yet Another Dead Sourceforge Project. I would personally be more interested in seeing a Python client, but that's= =20 because I've been on a high-level language kick for the last couple of year= s. Would there be any way to get most of cvsup's functionality out of rsync? = It=20 wouldn't hurt my feelings if cvsup were replaced by rsync for the common=20 cases (4-STABLE, 5-CURRENT, etc.). =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --Boundary-02=_mq36AcZ2TADQk65 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBA63qm5sRg+Y0CpvERAnvCAJ9/H5xz+vRRk/RQPpVSMpDHcL+EWACggV0l yycHU71kcIzn3fCkMZb/Vxo= =bXJM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_mq36AcZ2TADQk65--
