Can you say bloat? Can you say bugs? I guess I just don't see it that way. cvsup is so absolutely necessary for= =20 system maintenance that it seems like a logical addition.

I wish he would, because it would probably be more portable then the curren= t=20 system, which would allow more people to use it, which would turn more=20 developer eyes toward it, which would give us a better tool to use. As it= =20 stands, cvsup is "that weird thing that FreeBSD uses". =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --Boundary-02=_k/36Av7oOlagQUV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBA63/k5sRg+Y0CpvERAj0sAJ9jnZ3/KhXWu2pXQe5AWoC3kAMO6QCfQf6b P+BqvH0XOtjesBTdGj6AouQ= =beyx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_k/36Av7oOlagQUV--
