It looks like I do, and it sure looks a lot like : Warner is willing to head the effort and *become* the contact point. : What a guy! *grin* Yes. I'd be willing to help out in this effort, but I don't know if I have the time needed to lead and drive the effort. If all it takes is enough disk to have both NetBSD-current and FreeBSD-current online and diffable at the same time, then I can do it, program by program if need be. I don't know that even if I had the time if I'd have the computing resources to host something like this. I have only a 33.6kpbs link to the net right now, and only about 600M of disk that can be devoted to a project like this, and I run FreeBSD only, so I'd not be able to verify any merged thing would work on NetBSD because I don't have another machine that has the power to do a make world. However, I do have the time, skills and desire to help in any efforts at merging the user land code, should such efforts be hosted elsewhere. I'm not sure what kind of political battles I'd be getting into, especially with OpenBSD out there as well.... Just fyi: diff -u netbsd-current/src/bin/cat freebsd-2.1R/src/bin/cat | wc 173 703 4227 so this may be somewhat non-trivial.... Warner
