AFAIK, the same steps are required. The problem is that people commit things without testing the upgrade procedure. Most people don't have a system that they can regularly spam. The system I was testing this stuff on now has Solaris/x86 on it, so I'm not in a position to test the upgrade either (even if I had time). -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
