of course, but if one has to search for obvious stuff, i consider that the other extreme.. > Loosing all CVS history is not an improvement in mine. cvs history for scaffolding makefiles which support _only and only_ the latest and greatest and only and only in -current dont seem like terribly important information to me. it's not like we are talking about important C files like in src or xenocera. hands up who would be distressed if the initial import for liberty fonts got lost? especially the fonts, these are pretty simple ports anyway. yes, it is frustrating that cvs cannot deal with this in an elegant way, but we always work with what we have, the sooner we make this switch the less will be the loss.. i find it way more frustrating that every time something needs to be moved in order to make it cleaner, simpler and logical in ports we back down because of this limitation. so there, i said it.. -f -- incipit vita nova.
