If you are tracking -current then you _should_ be tracking -current, not current-aout-noncam-etc, the project shouldn't suffer so that everyone who've been, uh scratching themselves, :) can upgrade. It's been some number of months now, people should either do it now (build) or smash it later (clobber install via sysinstall) I'm sure many commiters would love not to have to walk on eggshells anymore to avoid breaking the pecarious (sp) build tree that has been effective for the last 2(?) months. One important thing, obviously keeping around a X11 and system aout lib package should definetly be done for legacy binary only programs. (just a binary snap to instal via sysinstall/ports) :) -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
