I've provided him access (or obtained access) to FreeBSD-CURRENT many times when he requested so he could test things. I've never seen attention to this degree before for FreeBSD from a software author. He truly cares that LSOF runs excellent on FreeBSD. > My worry is that we won't really score _that_ much FreeBSD-specific > tweaking against the loss of having the version in the base system fall > behind Vic's development edge. IMHO, the only thing we gain is that one doesn't have to install the port anymore to get LSOF. If we import it into contrib/, I think we will be doing vendor branch imports quite often. A few seemed to feel strongly that it should be imported. Some were worried about it's "security" (really safe software engr.). Of course the port can still be audited and diffs passed back to Vic. > Or do you reckon lsof will be kept up to date in the base system? If nobody else does, I would. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
