I would have to go find the 4.4BSD-Lite2_import.sh script, but I would of either imported the one from 4.4, or I would of imported the gnu one into gnu/. > Trust me: if it had been, I would not have used diff-e+ed(1) It would of been pretty impossible to live without patch at that time so I doubt very much that the respository had it missing for more than a day or three, there was the time period from the import of 4.4 to the completion of the 2.0 ncvs repository, though that was only days, the there was the lag while we waited for Greenman/Dyson to fix the missing bits and to get make world running again, but after that we would of had the same patch we had in 1.x as that is external code and uneffected by the lawsuit. > Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 > phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
