I suspect that some of the confusion about this comes from the message from Murray which said: From owner-committers-archive@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 25 12:17:02 2002 Message-Id: <200201252016.g0PKGsa17117@freefall.freebsd.org> From: Murray Stokely Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2002 12:16:54 -0800 (PST) To: cvs-committers@FreeBSD.org, cvs-all@FreeBSD.org Subject: cvs commit: CVSROOT avail X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch: HEAD murray 2002/01/25 12:16:54 PST Modified files: . avail Log: Unfreeze src/, The RELENG_4_5_BP tag and the RELENG_4_5 branch have been created. Revision Changes Path 1.163 +1 -1 CVSROOT/avail It's pretty easy to read "Unfreeze src" and think that might mean that the code freeze is over, particularly when combined with the the rest of the log message. I'll hasten to admit that a later message said: murray 2002/01/28 00:22:15 PST Modified files: . avail Log: Unlock src. RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE has been tagged. The release is not final until some QA has been done and the announce message has gone out. tags may be slid if necessary. So that message is pretty clear, and I have no quarrel with the idea of the branch still being frozen. I'm just saying that there was some understandable reason that some people (including, uh, me...) might have thought the code freeze was lifted... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
