Hi David,
because you are the maintainer of src/contrib/binutils, I first want to ask
you before I start to update src/contrib/binutils. I've read the README's
you've placed there, but 2 questions remain:
1) How can I create a patch using a cvs-checkout when I do not have
write permissions to the repository? This is no request for a commit
bit (to much accountability), more a technical request.
Do I need to use cvsup from ports to get a copy of the cvs server
and checkout against my local copy?
2) Is it ok to do it on a FreeBSD7-Stable, as long no change between
the RELENG7 branch and the HEAD prevents merge? Or is it mandatory
to test it with -CURRENT?
I ask, because -CURRENT maybe unstable by definition, and I don't
want to search for errors in my work come in by experimental code.
I have no problem, when a first patch exists, to test it on -CURRENT,
but it should be the 2nd step (for me).
Best regards,
Jens
