I'm going to throw something out here, and feel free to disagree<br>
with me.<br>
<br>
Easy access to source, even if we grant that it is "silly in 2013"<br>
as has been stated before, is no excuse for no easy access to source.<br>
<br>

How is source access not easy? just install svn and you have it. Is<br>
there a hard step I am missing?<br>

What's the undue hardship of having a tool in base that can do this? As far as I understand it, the issue here boils down to:<br>
1. I have FreeBSD.<br>
2. I want sources.<br>
3. I do not want to/cannot run svn.<br>
How can I get sources?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>Since binary patching is how things are getting done for the os patching, why should there be a tool in base to grab source? and you can download the system source code using wget or curl, unless they are also too big to install on your system. Source is not as critical to operational management of your system as it used to be, things change.</div>

"You can't" should be an unacceptable answer in my opinion.<br>

Anyhow, I've put in my two cents. I'm done with this topic.</blockquote><div><br></div><div style>As have I, remember when you could buy bubble gum with two cents?</div><div style><br></div></div><div style>marc</div>
