So these deltas are only created at every release instead of every 100 deltas like the xEmpty's? Would it not be better to create an xR<CurrentRelease> delta at the same time as the xEmpty delta then you could upgrade to the -stable code easily by downloading the deltas that then come afterwards as well? By only creating xR<CurrentRelease> deltas during the release of another version it means that you can only update from release to release and nothing in between. For example, I am sitting here with the 2.2.7-Release code on CD. And we are currently half way in between 2.2.7-Release and 2.2.8-Release. I cannot update to the 'current' -stable code, because the next xR<CurrentRelease> delta will not be created untill 2.2.8 is released. Am I right? >Could somebody please create these Release Deltas, so that this question >never comes up on the list again. Whoops. Do I detect that this has come up on the list before? :-) -- Andrew Boothman <andrew@sour.cream.org> http://sour.cream.org PGP Key Available From Public Servers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
