Hello to the List, I not sure whether my normal problem or inability to see the trees in the forest, the the rain all day dulling my senses, or just being a little less bright then the next guy, but what is the final disposition of v2.2.8? Since until the last couple it was our production (recommended stable OS for production users) I have been trying to follow where we were leaving it and those users committed to it. I would think that anything that was operational on v2.2.8, including packages and ports, up until the cut over to v3.0-STABLE, would be frozen at that point and kept at that state (read down loadable by whatever flavor you prefer) for the foreseeable future. Is that our plan? Why am I asking this? It seems that others are and I have not seen a direct answer. Additionally, while FTP'ing a v2.2.8 system today I got caught in a predicament where after downloading the bash2 package via sysinstall on the system I had just loaded, bash2 was and ELF version, changing both root and the only other user I had created to bash2, I was unable to login because of an ELF shared library was missing.... well it was really more then that. While this was only a small inconvience and was recoverable and my surprise, should it have happened? Consequentially my question above. Can we expect that v2.2.8 will be stable, accessible, even though not upgraded?
