Hi, When I view the contents of directories on sfw for open-source components such as Apache HTTP server (http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/sfw/usr/src/cmd/apache2/) I see that the directory contains the .tar.gz of the sources distributed by the Apache HTTP Server project, patches to be applied to these sources and a Makefile that untars the sources and applies the patches. I noticed that the exploded sources from the .tar.gz file are also in the repository.
What were the reasons for checking in the exploded sources from the .tar.gz into the repository? Is this purely for reading/viewing/grokking? Am I correct in assuming that no changes are *committed* to these source files in the opensolaris.org repository and instead .patch files are generated and applied? Thanks, Arvi This message posted from opensolaris.org
