HI! For all those who do not read -hackers - there is another users vs. developers flamewar, on part of it being the new releases, among others the release of 2.1.6/7 - the number doesn't matter, it is the same thing. Now are there any *sane* ideas as for what *new* things should make it to 2.1.6? Are the new ports that can be brought over to be bgrought over, do we want tcl-7.5 included in the system as there is in -current, do we want some other "upgrades" be present (I personaly use DES code from -current for newer SSLeay port). Any one who responds, please observe: 1) This mail is my *personal* view of the things. It is not sanctioned by anyone, inc. the FreeBSD core group. Even information on the 2.1.6 release is unofficial - I just saw it mentioned in the -hackers mailing list in the mails of some persons. 2) I don't want a flame war and won't answer to any flames. I hope to keep this all in reasonable frame. 3) IMHO I am not much of an organizer :-) and so not too suitable for carrying it all through. As d´for contributing I can provide my own time and disk space which is located over a not too good link in a far a way place in Europe. I can also test any reasonable changes. 4) I do not in any way want to make -stable unstable in any way. All changes going in would be tested for stability by several people *before* making it to the official tree. It should be possible to either "group up" several of the deltas to make fewer of them or alternatively, make a lot of them for smaller deltas. 5) Any one who finds this not appropriate for the list, the whole thing pointless, etc. Are welcome to mail me personaly and say so. Sander
