Re: $Id questin


In creating your patch you can use the diff -I switch to exclude these lines.

diff -u3prN -x CVS -I"$Id.*:.*$"
cvs diff -u3pN -I"$Id.*:.*$"

I think it is a good idea to keep the newer BSD rcsid's("$OpenBSD:", etc.) when contributing ported code. Keeping a reference to what version was used is actually quite helpful in that one could go back at a later date and see if the BSD people caught some bugs which we might have missed.


As, for non bsd code (such as ISC code, etc.) with plain $Id:'s, I think that removing the dollar signs would be a good approach there.

Yes, we also feel some discomfort: when we are using Newlib with our local CVS repository - the information it this $Id string are changes. And, when we are making patches the result is that our patches changes files like "HP strcat.S". No matter that actually only $Id string is patched, we are trying to make minimum changes.
