Ok. Below is what I sent in as bug report #5971198. Regards -Lars Currently Apple releases snapshots of Darwin components when it reaches a new point release of in OS X. It would be of tremendous help for projects working to maintain interoperability with Apple tools and products to be able to see the regular CVS/SVN trees. Access would speed up development and bug fixing and contribute to prevention of crash/hang/dataloss, improvement of security, and better performance. In particular, I am asking that the diskdev_cmds package be published more frequently or that the working version be made available to other projects: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.2/diskdev_cmds-421.1/ Allowing access to newer source code for the HFS+ filesystem facilitates integration of OS X into work environments where it might otherwise not be present or be remain marginalized. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
