Description Bdale Garbee 2001-04-12 16:56:34 MDT

Please remove the FAQ symlink in the source package.  It prevents me from being
able to easily distribute "pristine upstream source" for the sudo package in
Debian GNU/Linux, which is something we really like to be able to do.

The underlying problem is CVS's inability to import symlinks without wrapper
scripts, but since this symlink serves no useful purpose in the sudo source
package, I'd love to see it just disappear.

Pretty please?

I'll remove that in 1.6.4, though that won't be released for a while since I
haven't had much time to work on sudo stuff lately.
