To some extent I agree with him (though not necessariy with his > positioning of every file). I completely agree here, but it is difficult to get everything into the perfect place. The NetBSD idea of moving i386 and the other platforms into arch/ is also very nice. > It is possible that we could do with a reoganisation but it isn't a > work-free job.. > Matt took some time to get everything working again.. The biggest problem is keeping history here. Doing something like that with CVS is a major PITA. We didn't have any old release, so moving the repository files didn't create a problem. That's impossible in FreeBSD land :) Joerg
