List, there are lines in the tcpdump source code that served a purpose with CVS and its keywords expansion feature but don't do any more with git. It is around 4 years since the CVS/git migration and perhaps it is the time to remove most of the markers.
It seems to be OK to just remove the lines that essentially state "this file is a part of the tcpdump source tree and is original to it", for example: #ifndef lint static const char rcsid[] _U_ = "@(#) $Header: /tcpdump/master/tcpdump/print-ospf.c,v 1.66 2007-10-08 07:53:21 hannes Exp $ (LBL)"; #endif Please note that no such ID dates any later than end of 2008. That said, I see sense in preserving/converting the IDs that indicate the origin/relation of the source code, for example: /* $NetBSD: print-ah.c,v 1.4 1996/05/20 00:41:16 fvdl Exp $ */ Would anybody object on this change? -- Denis Ovsienko _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
