Can we get some verification on this (not that I don't believe you, Theo, but I personally would like to see a message verifying this from one of the named people). And please don't start another flame war! Assuming that this statement is true, couldn't somebody "doctor" the CVS tree to remove the tainted code? I mean, if it was eventually worked back out, somebody could diff the end source and the start source to generate a new diff to be the "pure" line. Make backups first. I personally would LOVE to see the NetBSD CVS tree open to the public for anon access. >Chris G Demetriou <Chris_G_Demetriou@ux2.sp.cs.cmu.edu> wrote: > >> > > Just out of curiosity, what's the current state of the CLNP code in > NetBSD? >> > > Is it identical to 4.4-Lite2?
