Nobody's pushing things. Whenever you feel like it, and stat's on its way to our tree, let me know if I can help with mergemaster & the removal of perl. > NetBSD's stat(1) is very feature rich, compiles cleanly on -current, and > handled all the stuff I threw at it in semi-rigorous testing.

I'll probably wait until NetBSD's stat is imported, and retry. In the meantime, I'll try to test NetBSD's stat, or even come up with a few regression tests for NetBSD's stat. jmallett seems to like adding such things to our tree. Then perhaps, after stat is tested, we can re-hack mergemaster ;) Giorgos. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
