+
+This file contains notes regading the upgrade of top(1). See the vendor import
+instructions at:
+
+ https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/subversion-primer.html#svn-advanced-use-vendor-imports
+
+Top's upstream project pages are:
+
+ http://www.unixtop.org/
+
+ https://sourceforge.net/projects/unixtop/
+
+
+The version of top(1) in base is: 3.5-beta12, from March 2000.
+The current upstream release is: 3.8-beta1, from May 2008.
+This upgrade is in progress by Randy Westlund <rwestlun@gmail.com>.
+
+
+########### 3.8-beta1 ##########
+
+IMPORTING:
+
+When 3.8-beta1 was imported into vendor/top, the distribution's /machine
+directory that holds m_${OS_NAME}.c files was flattened, removing everything
+except m_freebsd.{c,man}.
+
+In addition, the following four files were removed:
+ config.amd64.make
+ config.amd64.makeinstall
+ config.sparcv9.make
+ config.sparcv9.makeinstall
+
+
+CHANGES:
+
+Upstream has made many changes (see the Changes file in the distribution), a
+fair number of which are for FreeBSD. These likely came from pkgsrc.
+
+Upstream switched to GNU autoconf, replacing the csh configure script that we
+didn't use.
+
+The OS-specific bits specified in contrib/top/machine.h no longer require
+usr.bin/top/machine.c; there's now a m_freebsd.c module in the upstream
+distribution that handles this. It will likely need modification, but these
+can be upstreamed later.
+
+
+########### 3.5-beta12 ##########
+
+contrib/top/machine.h specifies an interface that must be provided by the
+target OS. That interface is implemented in usr.bin/top/machine.c
+
+The upstream configure script and makefile are ignored; usr.bin/top/Makefile
+implements all the necessary steps.
