I agree that it is very important to be able to reproduce official releases of FreeBSD N years down the road. However, that has never been a requirement of snapshot CDs. We have never even tagged the tree for previous snapshots. We are actually moving more in the direction you advocate by at least moving the snapshot production into Perforce so that more developers can participate. The release engineers would prefer to do this in CVS, but that is not advisable for the reasons Peter outlined in his mail. The source distribution is included in the output of "make release" for a reason. If you have a technical solution to the problems that Peter raised, then I'm sure cvs@FreeBSD.org would like to hear about them. - Murray --z4+8/lEcDcG5Ke9S Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (SunOS) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8lFTKtNcQog5FH30RAjiBAKDHQPdXZ4P95ZiLnCHrCJ1iwjAUwwCgog2x CnfY7NnIcOh5QBhXkyOakCg= =3NBn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --z4+8/lEcDcG5Ke9S-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
