The information is there, bde repeated it, more information is in the mail archives, so we look forward to the doc guys who actually mark things up to write patches and commit them (see how easy this crutch is to use?). I personally have used it in the past and am trying not to in the future. I'd encourage others to do the same. There is a time when telling someone who sends in a PR that says "the ports system sucks, it should be re-written in python" or "hey, the installer really sucks, someone should make a VGA installer" that "we await your patches" is almost acceptable. Telling people who have contributed to the project in the past and are good sources of information "we await your patches" is almost insulting. -- Bill Fumerola - security yahoo / Yahoo! inc. - fumerola@yahoo-inc.com / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
