Well, it depends. In this thread, device drivers were mentioned in particular. You can't test those in jails or in virtual machines. For example, I would like to merge r210819 to stable/8 (it will have to wait until after the freeze, of course). But I can't easily test it on stable/7 because it's hardware-related. So I won't merge it to stable/7. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
