Re: [PATCH] Include libmd in freebsd-libs

[Robert Millan <rmh@debian.org>]

I guess this would require a separate branch for
freebsd-libs changes that can't make it to squeeze.

How is branching going to be handled?  Is my proposed
approach [1][2] acceptable?

Does anyone mind if I make copies of freebsd-utils
and kfreebsd-8 accordingly?
