Hi. Can someone explain the sudden rush of fixes into the RELENG_4_4 branch? For instance, just exactly what good does the BIND 8.3.3 merge do? Surely people who want to run BIND 8.3.3 on RELENG_4_4 can use the port. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the 'remote buffer overrun' bug in earlier BIND versions was in libbind.a, which isn't even installed on a stock FreeBSD system, as far as I can see. Just exactly what's next? Are we going to see merges of things like sendmail 8.12.3 into RELENG_4_4!?!? I'm just trying to get things clear here. Perhaps I'm missing the point completely (as usual). But I would think that this continuous merging of stuff into RELENG_4_4 creates a maintenance nightmare for everyone who runs off this branch. Confused, Cheers Michiel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
