Just under another name. On my own computer, I can do: % find /home/ncvs/ports/Attic/ /home/ncvs/ports/Attic/ /home/ncvs/ports/Attic/WWW_SITE,v /home/ncvs/ports/Attic/YEAR2000,v % find /home/ncvs/ports/audio/aumix/patches/Attic/ /home/ncvs/ports/audio/aumix/patches/Attic/ /home/ncvs/ports/audio/aumix/patches/Attic/patch-aa,v /home/ncvs/ports/audio/aumix/patches/Attic/patch-ab,v /home/ncvs/ports/audio/aumix/patches/Attic/patch-ac,v /home/ncvs/ports/audio/aumix/patches/Attic/patch-ad,v Where has the history for those files gone? What about the ones in the tarball I made? Perhaps a few of these files were part of the reorganization in October, but most were not. It looks to me as though, in the main repositories, that history has been completely destroyed. This is not customary. The only files which were supposed to have been purged, according to what was discussed in October, were the ones which were moved and renamed as part of the ports reorganization. There was no talk about wiping out these other files and I request that they be restored. I am willing to help restore them. -- Trevor Johnson http://jpj.net/~trevor/gpgkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
