They are of little practical use in the ports tree. As far as disadvantages go, the $OpenBSD$ keywords keep causing conflicts when merging changes back into -stable. Also, some people seem to mistake the committer who last touched a port for the maintainer. > Does that mean all files under ports repo should have RCS tags to > be removed or only specific files? No file in a port should have an $OpenBSD$ keyword. We will keep them in some files in the infrastructure directory, since talking about, say, bsd.port.mk revision such-and-such actually comes up with some regularity. It's a simplification really. Now you don't need to remember to add $OpenBSD$ when creating a port. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
