I've noticed some commits recently for RELENG_2_2 and as other have commented, this changes (totally) a set of files for 2.2.1. Can we have some sort of policy implemented so that revisions are `automatically' made every 2 weeks (say0 if there have been any changes, and each week, as part of the weekly update scripts, produce a list of diffs from the last release in one file. something like "cvs diff -r LATEST_2_2 src > ~ftp/freebsd/patch.level that's got to be another nicety with linux. you can update the kernel, you don't need to configure sup/cvsup, etc. it begs the question: if we're changing 2.2 after 2.2-RELEASE is made, what does 2.2-RELEASE mean if my 2.2-RELEASE is different to yours ? Does-RELEASE have any meaning any more ? Should all FreeBSD just be a series of SNAPSHOTs ? darren
