Could you clarify the semantics of the "in a few releases" plan? That is, are you proposing that the "in a few releases" OpenBSD will have (a) vnd == today's svnd, (b) vnd == today's vnd, (c) vnd == some sort of merging of today's vnd and today's svnd, or (d) something else which hasn't occured to me yet I sort of think you're proposing (a), but I'm not entirely sure that I'm parsing your wording correctly... [Hmm, I wonder if my failure-to-parse is related to a recent bout of perl hashes holding references to anonymous hashes holding references to anonymous lists. :) ] thanks, ciao, -- -- "Jonathan Thornburg [remove -animal to reply]" <[email protected]> Dept of Astronomy & IUCSS, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA "Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." -- quote by Freire / poster by Oxfam
