FreeBSD has special great evil triggers which will import things into //depot/vendor/freebsd/src/... for example, and then we just branch off of there, and integ -b as needed. :) As for the CVS merge, I personally keep vendor/freebsd/src in my client view, as well, and use diff(1) to manually prepare both change diffs (modification) and additions, in whatever style I prefer. If it is just for review, I'd use diff2 :) Thanx, juli. -- Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org> - AIM: BSDFlata -- IRC: juli on EFnet OpenDarwin, Mono, FreeBSD Developer - ircd-hybrid Developer, EFnet addict FreeBSD on MIPS-Anything on FreeBSD - Never trust an ELF, COFF or Mach-O!
