HEADS UP: Importing csup into base

[Maxime Henrion]

	Hey all,


I have released a new snapshot of csup a few minutes ago, called
csup-snap-20060301.  You can grab it at http://mu.org/~mux/csup.html.
This last snapshot finally brings in support for the refuse files, as
well as the -i <pattern> and -A <localaddr> options.  At this point,
csup is pretty much feature complete as far as checkout mode is
concerned.  To sum things up, besides CVS mode, the only features
missing are :

  - Authentication (rarely used, plus someone has a patch for this),
  - Executes (shell commands sent by the server, even more rarely used),
  - The -k and -d <limit> options and the "destDir" parameters that are
    more debugging features than real features,
  - An Xaw3d GUI (just kidding).

So I think it is now time to import csup in FreeBSD base system so that
our users finally have a way to update their sources with a bare
install, and am requesting comments/opinions/problem reports on the
matter as long as it doesn't degenerate into a bikeshed.

For those interested in CVS mode, I'll now start working on this soon,
but cannot guarantee that I'll ever have it finished.  I've been
unemployed for a few months now which allowed me to get this far, but I
will soon need to get a new job for obvious reasons.  If you would like
to see CVS mode happening and can spare some money, please consider
making a donation to my Paypal account (id mux at FreeBSD.org).  I take
advantage of this mail to thank Garance Drosehn that has generously
donated me some money to help me on this task already.

Cheers,
Maxime
