It works for us and allows us to slide stuff forwards, only stopping occasionally to fix a broken patch. For a "Release" we check out a snapshot of the ports tree, and branch the patches tree in case we want to change or add a patch to that snapshot of ports. anyone (in ports) think this is a BAD idea? > > >> In case the list scrubs hte text attachment (diff) here's the >> description part of the diff. > The MIME enclosure made it through mailman unscathed :-) > > Cheers, > Julian > -- > Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix Sys Eng Consultant Munich http://berklix.eu/jhs/ > Mail plain text, No quoted-printable, HTML, base64, MS.doc. > Prefix old lines '> ' Reply below old, like play script.
