Cool, we have a database guy! :) Let me throw in some ideas.. I think it would be very useful to have a database which can track submitted open/netbsd CVS commits (with the code diff included), preferably mapped to the relevant file in the freebsd tree if possible according to a path mapping table (i.e. /some/openbsd/path/file.c mapped to /equiv/freebsd.path/file.c). I guess this is more of a CVS interface along the lines of cvsweb..what we're really doing here is doing a (manual) partial merge of two CVS repositories. But, CVS is a kind of database, right? :) Also useful would be a review status of the freebsd tree. So (approved) people can "sign off" on a particular file or directory as having been reviewed as of a certain date, and we can work in a coordinated fashion. Hmm, again this sounds like a CVS tree, with reviews being tags. <semi-joking> Maybe what we actually want is a better RCS system for FreeBSD. </semi-joking> > > I'll get a mailing list going if this is deemed necessary. > > > > freebsd-security? :) Hmm, I think most of the traffic would be fairly off-topic for there. I think a separate freebsd-audit list (for discussion of relevancy of changes, discussion of bugs, etc) would be the way to go. Kris ---- Cthulhu for President!
