Kanter" To: FreeBSD stable Subject: Is 3.4-release to 3.4-stable recommended? Message-ID: <20000330050634.A9886@localhost.localdomain> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i X-Organization: Northwestern University X-Operating-System: FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 3.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I already asked this question in the -questions list, but figured I should get a second opinion... I recently bought the 4-CD set of 3.4-release and wonder if it's recommended to cvsup the source tree to 3.4-stable and the ports tree to current. I'm hesitant because, once stable, don't the packages and ports on the 4-CD set become null? It's a lot easier to install off CDs than rely on downloads over a modem. But, if my home PC will be that much better being stable, then perhaps I should make the plunge. Thanks for any suggestions. -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
