Jordan: UPT clean up main purpose has been mentioned in Mike email. "This allows UDP packages installed by UPT to be compared against EDK II trunk/branches using standard diff utilities."
For new added section, they may not follow UPT order. We can clean up them together on next major release.

Okay, so it seems likely that either the tool: * broke the world, or * didn't break anything At least there shouldn't be a needle in a haystack problem. > So far, I have no branch for those change.

I would prefer that you start using git, and post a branch with your changes incorporated. -Jordan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
