Do we have a > src/tinybsd and a src/picobsd as well? Well, then how about src/release/picobsd and move the rest of src/release into a src/release/freebsd? Right now you have picobsd sitting on the side of the rest of the release tree at a different level. If you want to argue that pico is just another release then fine, but let's put the different release mechanisms at the same logical level in the tree. src/release/Makefile doesn't recurse into picobsd/ and build picobsd distributions, it just builds a freebsd distribution, so lets move it to src/release/freebsd. Something similar might be having sys/dev/pccard/pcic.c and sys/dev/pccard/pci/pcic_pci.c. Those two things don't belong at different logical levels like that. > Warner -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
