The original code base +was NetBSD-1.0, so version 3 was built by doing a fresh import of the +NetBSD-1.0 usr.bin/make, adding the autoconf and other portability +patches to sync it with bmake v2, and then NetBSD's make +of Feb 20, 2000 was imported and conflicts dealt with. +NetBSD's make was again imported on June 6 and December 15, 2000. + +In 2003 bmake switched to a date based version (first was 20030714) +which generally represents the date it was last merged with NetBSD's +make. Since then, NetBSD's make is imported within a week of any +interesting changes, so that bmake tracks it very closely. |
