Svein, A source layout change is the lest of the problems pushing code back from companies using FreeBSD. When $WORK rearranged our FreeBSD-based tree, we simply provided a perl script to run over patch files that fixed up the patch. sed -e 's,sys/amd64,sys/arch/amd64,g' patchfile > newpatchfile isn't that hard to do... The fact that we totally rototilled the bge and em drivers FreeBSD 6.1->6.2 is a MUCH bigger problem to the commercial users of FreeBSD and their patch sets. [medium seriousness bug fixes were done by a full MFC of the driver, vs. just spot fixing the needed changes] -- -- David ([email protected]) Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
