By way of example (assuming there are people subscribed here who don't know what the SFW consolidation is/does), here are the ones I'm aware of that have already been initiated or completed: coreutils case diffutils case readline case libtool case GNU which case Tcl/Tk case Automake case BISON case GM4 case --Eric P.S. It hit me that my post might come off as sarcasm (e.g. in saying, "I admit to having total, blind-faith..."). IMO, using sarcasm in forums such as this is almost always a bad idea. So no sarcasm was intended -- I was being serious. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
