Hi List, I'd like to announce a new version of tzdialog(8) available at http://druidbsd.sf.net/ This version sync's up with the HEAD version of tzsetup(8), including MFC of r198267 r198350 r210243 r220172 r222139 and r227011 as well as a few other minor modifications/bug-fixes. I've also requested that this version be added to the ports-tree under sysutils/tzdialog (PR ports/164031). http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/164031 For those unaware, tzdialog(8) is essentially tzsetup(8) rewritten from C into sh(1) -- bugs-and-all. The major advantages are: 1. Support for Xdialog(1). 2. Ease of maintenance (for example, SVNs r208830 r208831 r209190 r227934 r227947 and r228176 which were made to tzsetup(8) were not necessary to apply to tzdialog(8), as the sh(1) code was not affected by these C-based problems). 3. Finally, tzdialog(8) can be used without modification on Linux (replacing the need for inferior tzselect(8)), Cygwin, Darwin (if dialog(1) is available) and other BSDs without recompilation. -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
