Re: more config(8) patches (was Re: patch to fix breakage caused by earlier config(8) patch)
:why not? i understand, that when many are working on a single point of code,
:these cleanups can be disturbing, but with chris being the only person to
:work on config(8), i doubt it would harm many people.
:
:on the pro side, you have readable, good-structured code.

:one of dragonfly's best choices (for me) so far, has been a tolerant
:viewpoint about cosmetic changes (be it ansi, comments, other cleanup).
:
:~ibotty
I'm just joking. But I may hand a commit bit to anyone who submits
too many cosmetic changes and make that person our official cosmetics
spokeperson :-).
I am a strong believer of keeping code modernized and clean. Some
people argue that it makes it difficult to keep things in sync
between the various BSDs but I think that's more of a cop-out then
anything else. I've never had a problem, and I don't believe in
blind patching anyway. I still enjoy working on many of my old projects
occassionally, such as DICE, simply because I feel comfortable reading
the code, because I had spent the time in prior years bringing it up to
modern standards. Comfort level is very important to any programmer.
