With all the hullabaloo about -current not being stable or always building.. I thought I 'd give a little report here.. I sup the CVS tree at 2AM each day. I rebuild a system a couple of times a week. when it seems stable, I take a Snapshot of the sources, and the rest of the company moves onto that snapshot.. It's very rare that I have to abandon a snapshot because it doesn't build. I've really very happy with teh current scheme.. I think it's just expectations.. 1/ I sup the CVS tree so I get more control 2/ I have a sacrificial machine/environment I can test it on first.. I have -current (1 week old in about a dozen machines here. I'll be upgrading to yesterday's probably.. I have 4 in the field, and expect to have many more in a few months.. I think curretn has been quite stable.. If it fails, I just wait a day.. julian
