"vetted-out" == "worked the bugs out" == "tested" However, I didn't mean "vetted-out" literally, anyways... :) I will paraphrase some recent messages from FreeBSD-committers: ache: I have imported a new GNU tar port into ports/sysutils/gtar asami: Shouldn't that have been "src/contrib/tar"? :) ache: No way! It's going to be years before I ever upgrade something in src/contrib/ again after that mess with bc(1)!!!! IOW, no one has volunteered to upgrade tar(1) yet. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken?
