Or upgrade to RELENG_4_4 which is -RELEASE+security fixes, and save manually applying the important security patches. RELENG_4_4 has not had many commits, so the point is not as strong right now. As we reach breakoff to 4.5-RELEASE, RELENG_4_4 will no doubt have many more commits and thus save more time. I know RELENG_4_3 was full of fixes over 4.3-RELEASE. I follow RELENG_4_X on most machines unless -STABLE specifically addresses a problem I'm having or introduces a new feature I want. Then I jump from RELENG_4_X to RELENG_4_X+1_0_RELEASE and begin to track RELENG_4_X+1 from there. >-- >Juha >Take off every sig! --c To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
