I track core and opt for half a decade or even longer via git, but did not really use CRUX because my hardware could not go all the way anyway, you know. In the meanwhile i have half a dozen CRUX repos in my code arena (+ s-s-d, iso, httup, prt-get), but now living and working truly in CRUX for a month i track the ports via httup, just as it ships. I thought about switching to git, but not yet done. (I would have used it if the installation would have given that choice.) I am still thinking you know. I carry my private code arena with several dozens of .tar_bomb_git and .git and .cvs_bomb_git for many years, but never really made that a starter, all-in-all. Let alone having that sailing in the wind and being still usable after the monthly updates. (Talking about the non-tar repos.) Now with CRUX i really have what that should have been, and it just works! Including rejmerge. What i mean is, i am still thinking of throwing all my stuff away, except for some git repos i need for code research (sometimes), but not actually using them for the system, and instead fully settle on the CRUX infrastructure. Regarding that. I do not have the overview yet. I saw the .md5sum being created within my ports and did not understand, which is why i cloned prt-get. But this was too soon, i do not yet have the complete picture, my view is not stable anyway, i do not have anything. Getting rid of dead wood is however a good thing, and if in a year or so the CRUX team would like to throw away all MD5 related things from those tools i am possibly in the condition to do it without breaking anything. If that is what you referred to. Enjoying CRUX!
