Hello.

I was surfing the dragonflybsd wiki site the other day and found out
that they are doing a "base-cleanup". That is they are compiling the
tools that come with the base system with WARNS?=6 ...

Humm... This is something that I could do.. Minor cleanup (since I'm no
C expert or a OS developer ;) this fits my skillset just fine.

Now I have two questions is this something that will be appriciated by
someone ? (that is would this clean-up if done properly find its way to
the tree ?... nobody likes going through "trouble" like this when it
will have no affect ;). If so.. what is the diff format that is expected
(diff -crN ?) and should this be sent via send-pr(1) ?

I know that a ,,clean-up'' like this is propably not high on the todo
list for FreeBSD but.. for me this would be an easy way to contribute
something back since I have no skill to work in the kernel &c.

FreeBSD - Unix the way *I* like it.
A man can do as he will, but not will as he will.
