So I've been looking into how to get rid of it and re-use uuencode uudecode for it and it is proving difficult. I am trying to provide a command line compatible utility with the "base64" command from MacOS/X and Linux: - They use a single command to encode and decode (uuencode and decode are two separate programs). I would have to either write a shell script front end (and modify them not to output a header) to be able to emulate that. - uudecode is using b64_pton() which does not handle arbitrary whitespace. I could merge all three into one, but this is more annoying and risky to break things due to the amount of legacy behavior in the uu commands. Any better options? christos

AFAICT, the script itself (/dev/MAKEDEV) is updated, but created nodes are not. Thomas

Why do we need another base64 encoder/decoder? Joerg
Re: CVS commit: src/etc
Is this something that we should let postinstall fix? Or what is the upgrade strategy for the users not reading source-changes? If you send your answer to me on a mailing list I'm not subscribed to, without even CC'ing me, I'm just never going to see your mail. Now that I stumbled across it while browsing mail-index.netbsd.org: doesn't postinstall use MAKEDEV.tmpl already?
