I guess I just don't see it that way. cvsup is so absolutely necessary for system maintenance that it seems like a logical addition. I would imagine that a client-only version in C would be much more heavily developed than the current ezm3 version. In turn, this should reduce bugs and the eliminate the need to install what is effectively a single-program language. >> For example, OpenBSD doesn't have an m3 port for non-x86 platforms > So, let Theo write a m3 port. I wish he would, because it would probably be more portable then the current system, which would allow more people to use it, which would turn more developer eyes toward it, which would give us a better tool to use. As it stands, cvsup is "that weird thing that FreeBSD uses". -- Kirk Strauser [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBA63/k5sRg+Y0CpvERAj0sAJ9jnZ3/KhXWu2pXQe5AWoC3kAMO6QCfQf6b P+BqvH0XOtjesBTdGj6AouQ= =beyx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
