* Paul Robinson <paul@iconoplex.co.uk> [2003-06-26 12:04:33 BST]: > awk - encourage people to port their code away from awk. Big. Does anyone actually USE awk? Other than to filter columns that is. But as awk is usually available on other Unixes, I'm apt to rely on it's existance. So I'd hate to see it go. > rcs - remove and make an optional package? Get's my vote. I'm fedup accidentally typing 'ci', and getting prompted for stuff.... I'd much prefer a "command not found" message. Doesn't OpenBSD have a preferance for BSDL? I seem to remember the pf project kicked-off due to a problem with the IPFilter licence. Perhaps we should see what we can lift from them. -- TTFN, FNORD Peter McGarvey Freelance FreeBSD Hacker (will work for bandwidth)
