As Josh MacDonald wrote: > 4. Import the original sources post-configured and patched into > gnu/texinfo. Better, import them into src/contrib/texinfo, and make the Makefiles under src/gnu/texinfo reference the original files. Files you wish to override can still be put under src/gnu/texinfo, of course. You could have a look at src/usr.bin/vi for an example of something that references files from `contrib'. The rationale behind this is that it eases merging new vendor versions, since the FreeBSD changes are largely divorced from the vendor sources. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
