Hmmm, let me just clarify this a bit: I have no intention of making a 2.2.9 and never did. I'm talking about grabbing the latest 2.2 snapshot, a snapshot which only exists because nobody got around to switching the 2.2 snap server off after 2.2.8 came out and saw no reason to do so before the branch. Now that we have branched, an event which more normally happens coincidently with the last release candidate being made, this issue has come up. That's all. There were no prior intentions here to communicate as this is a pure spur-of-the-moment decision. :) > Bottom line: i'd say yes, a 2.2S CDROM is a very good idea, provided > it does not come out "tomorrow" so people have the time to work on it. Well, the 2.2 snaps have already ceased, though I suppose if somebody out there wants to roll a newer one and ftp it to me, that would be fine also. I've just rolled my 2.2-S machine over to 3.0S in preparation for a new series of releases, so you'll have to forgive me if my own focus has shifted entirely off of 2.2 and I was hoping to make this a lot simpler by using the final 2.2 SNAP. :) Aside from that, what do you feel you guys need time to work on? - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
