I contacted him directly after tracking the problem down my only question was backing out (which was answered)... I am well aware of the drawbacks of tracking stuff so closely but since I don't have time to do coding I have decided to do my best to be a early real world tester. > > Unless there is some critical "must-have" feature in -current that > isn't available in the 7-stable tree, perhaps you'd be better off > tracking that instead. 7.0 is going to be fantastic, and I have not > yet seen anything committed to -current that would make me want to > track it instead of 7, and I've tracked -current since 4-current. There are some hardware issues that are only fixed (not completely so I might add... some of them are still using yet to be committed patches) 8-current.. also since I am attempting to learn everything I can about OS development tracking 8-current so closely defently helps me understand the process better... an other reason is I can deal with the occasional downtime as long I know how to backout of stuff (which I didn't learn to last night) so I would like to be in the camp of "yes I know it" before it is even offically out. > > > WNM > - -- Aryeh M.
