Hey Jonn, this news is better than my Monday AM coffee. Once you have something working, however crudely, I'd love to link/post/reference it on the growing wiki page- so folks can give it a whirl. https://wiki.freebsd.org/UsersFetchingSource (If this project succeeds, it will neatly get rid of the purpose of the page!) Thanks- Best, .ike _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
