This is certainly a decision to make. Either you want to run the semi-official SNAP `releases', or you run something like -current (or a few days behind). Since you've succesfully compiled your new stuff, it seems to be a waste of bandwidth to suck the SNAP across the wire again -- but you won't run SNAP then, just ``-current as of XX/XX/95''. Both will have its pros and cons. SNAPs are only being released at a time where -current seems to be somewhat stable. (That's why the `Happy birthday SNAP' has been cancelled.) With -current, you can immediately participate in any bug fix, improvement, or tree breakage that happens in the development cycle. You'll be among the first to see new features, but also among the first to see new panics. :-] -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
