Having just read all of this discussion, and trying to avoid the inflamitory parts (or at least not post immediate flames or counterflams) it strikes me that no one has mentioned, that I could see, what OpenBSD has done on this. I know that this group may have political problems associated with it, but they have written bmakefiles that encapsolate the ones provided by the vendors. I don't know if they are good or bad, but they claim to be able to drop in new releases fairly easily with that scheme. I'm currently pulling over most of the sources for their system (I've up til now only had the kernel sources online because I want a working MIPS port and the active MIPS porter lives in the OpenBSD camp, but that's another story). It is unclear to me if this system had its base in the NetBSD part of OpenBSD or not. I certainly intend no slander if that is indeed the case. I don't have a NetBSD source distribution online, nor access to enough of the revision history to know for sure. So why has no one talked about this system? If there is any interest after this week-long thread for a better summary so that it can be talked about intellegently, I'd be happy to provide one. Or did I just miss it when slogging thought my email? It seems like a tool that the FreeBSD community could profit from. Just my two cents. Warner (Whew! And no flames. Boy, that was hard! And no discussion of the merits of inclusion of TCL on the core distribution either, that was even harder...)
