Why change unless I had to.
This week, I had to. It turned out not to be too painful.
This sums it up for me, too. I switched over when spatter died and
burka was overwhelmed with new suppers.
A lot of necessary information is =only= in the on-line handbook at
www.FreeBSD.org; it's nowhere to be found on my 2.1.7 machines. But an
evening with Section 17.2 of that handbook, and the man page got me
running. I took the easy way out and picked up the static binaries to
avoid having to build and deal with Modula-3.
It didn't even take me that long, fortunately; all i had to do was go
to /usr/ports/net/cvsup, "make install", and convert my supfiles to
cvsupfiles. Most of the delay was waiting for modula-3 to finish
building (holy shit! i thought emacs was big....).
