From http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html: 18.2.2.3. Using FreeBSD-STABLE 1. Join the FreeBSD-stable mailing list . This will keep you informed of build-dependencies that may appear in stable or any other issues requiring special attention. Developers will also make announcements in this mailing list when they are contemplating some controversial fix or update, giving the users a chance to respond if they have any issues to raise concerning the proposed change. Sorry, but I don't see how this could be any more clear. Our docs certainly aren't perfect, and people have pointed out some examples of problems, but what about the above passage is mystifing? Doug may be taking a somewhat harsh tone, but the stuff he is saying is true. Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
