/usr/share/examples/cvsup -> /usr/local/share/examples/cvsup

2000-05-01 Thread Nik Clayton
Folks, Would anyone object to pulling /usr/share/examples/cvsup out of the base system, and into /usr/local/share/examples/cvsup, to be installed by the CVSup port? There's no technical reason for the change, but it would be more consistent with our other ports. N -- Internet connection, $19.9

Re: lpr: order of print requests

2000-05-01 Thread Warner Losh
LPR queues up the reuqests and prints them in order smallest to largest to reduce the average wait time for a job at the expense of having a larger standard deviation in the wait times for jobs. Maybe this is what you are running into. I don't know if there's a way to disable this behavior or no

Hi, I've written an X11-based hard disk partitioning tool, called DriveSetup, and am looking for fearless testers. It uses libdisk(3) for slice/partition table mangling, so it is unlikely to wipe out your disk due to a bug, but of course, I cannot be sure without more testing. So please try it ou
