A lot of it is people's private experiments, some of which would be difficult to merge into -current. > So with perforce development software, fbsd will become extra stable > hence removing the need for the -current tree ? No one has said any such thing, either about stability or removing the need for -current. That's just silly. The perforce trees are temporary staging areas and sandboxes. > The perforce.freebsd.org web site is a marsh pit to navigate.

I guess I can't see why anyone interested in tracking those changes hourly would not want to work towards getting themselves a commit bit, so they can particpate in those changes as well as others. This would be like saying "I'm willing to put in a tremendous amount of work, but then not the extra work to go the next step." Why? Robert Watson has already said that the intention is to make these trees visible on a website, and offered to give you access to patches in the meantime. How this amounts to a conspiracy, in your viewpoint, is not clear to me. As with anything else in open-source, if you think there absolutely must be an open-source replacement for Perforce, please feel free to write one, or find an existing project and join it. mcl
