Ok; following on from the readline() discussion, I've been looking at the changes made to libedit and various other things by the NetBSD people. Most of these look pretty good, and I was planning on bringing their changes over. There are two different situations that I'm looking for some guidance on. Firstly, with libedit, the changes are fairly minor. There are a few new files and some small diffs to existing ones. - Should I be adding $Id$ to files that are modified but don't have it? - Should I keep the $NetBSD$ tags for files that are modified by the changes? - Andrey committed some 8-bit cleanness changes on 960811 which aren't in the NetBSD code. Are these changes still required? A second case is ftp. In this one, there have been no significant changes for quite some time, but the NetBSD changes are quite substantial. - Would it be best to drop the NetBSD code in wholesale on top, replacing what is there outright? - If not, should the $NetBSD$ tags still be preserved? - If so, should the NetBSD code come in on a vendor branch? Can someone clarify how I should do this if so? -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
