hi there, i can't remember where i read this the other day, but i found this to be a great idea. basically the idea was to have one code pool which all the *bsd flavours share and also to which every *bsd committer has access and can make changes. especially code in /bin, /sbin, usr/bin, /usr/sbin or /usr/share (probably other places too) would benefit from this a lot. right now most of the work that gets done in one of these places by lets say dragonfly won't make it into freebsd or netbsd for a long time. or what's even worse: sometimes people document problems or bugs which have already been fixed in some other *bsd. if somebody fixes the problem that's just wasted time because it's been done beforehand. would this be even possible or not at all? -- Alexander Best
