As I've mentioned in other messages, what I think we need is the equivalent of the Japanese FreeBSD X.Y-RELEASE-pZ builds, on the main FTP server and on the mirrors, ready for installation both by new users and by admins looking to do a sure, safe upgrade. Having a local build server is a nice idea, especially if you're a large shop, but doesn't get newcomers a safe version to install (important; if they're hacked they'll sour on FreeBSD) or give an admin a build to which she can just upgrade quickly and know that the latest holes are closed. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
