3Organization of Sources:
4
5This directory hierarchy is using a new organization that
6separates the GNU sources from the BSD-style infrastructure
7used to build the GNU sources. The GNU sources are kept in
8the standard GNU source tree layout under:
9
10 dist/*
11
12The build infrastructure uses the normal BSD way under:
13
14 lib/*
15 usr.bin/*
16
17The makefiles in the above hierarchy will "reach over" into
18the GNU sources (src/gnu/dist) for everything they need.
19

21Maintenance Strategy:
22
23The sources under src/gnu/dist are generally a combination of
24some published distribution plus changes that we submit to the
25maintainers and that are not yet published by them. There are
26a few files that are never expected to be submitted to the FSF,
27(i.e. BSD-style makefiles and such) and those generally should
28stay in src/gnu/lib or src/gnu/usr.bin (the BSD build areas).
29
30Make sure all changes made to the GNU sources are submitted to
31the appropriate maintainer, but only after coordinating with the
32NetBSD maintainers by sending your proposed submission to the
33<tech-toolchain@NetBSD.org> mailing list. Only send the changes
34to the third-party maintainers after consensus has been reached.
