This directory contains virgin copies of the original distribution files on a "vendor" branch. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to upgrade the files in this directory via patches and a cvs commit. To upgrade to a newer version of libgmp, when it is available: 1. Unpack the new version into an empty directory. [Do not make ANY changes to the files, except remove the files/directories for architectures not supported by FreeBSD in the mpn/ dir] 2. Use the command: cvs import -m 'Virgin import of FSF libgmp v' \ src/contrib/libgmp FSF v 3. Follow the instructions printed out in step 2 to resolve any conflicts between local FreeBSD changes and the newer version. Do not, under any circumstances, deviate from this procedure. To make local changes to libgmp, simply patch and commit to the main branch (aka HEAD). Never make local changes on the FSF branch. All local changes should be submitted to "bug-gmp@prep.ai.mit.edu" for inclusion in the next vendor release of libgmp. markm@freebsd.org - 20 Oct 1996
