BETA6 still has some critical and/or serious bugs open apparently (according to the PR data base): 1. /bin/sh "unset" is still in violation of IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 edition. FIX IS AVAILABLE, bug has been open for many months, has persisted in BETA4 and 5. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=standards/45738 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-September/037819.html 2. tcpdump IPv6CP segfaults are still open as of BETA5, FIX IS AVAILABLE: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/71453 3. data corruption on unaligned block access bug, kern/60313, is still open and unpatched AFAICS 4. NIS is still faulty in pretending users aren't there when in fact NIS cannot tell if an account exists; bin/46866 is still open and unpatched 5. default inetd configuration denial of service bug, conf/33670, is still open and unpatched AND A LAST CHANCE TO FIX NOW 6. (portsmgr issue) no "yes or no" or whatsoever for my inquires whether ports/72017 can be committed in spite of the freeze. It's a bugfix-only update. Please state which of these will be fixed before 5.3-RELEASE and what further help is needed with these. -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 (PGP/MIME preferred)
