Like, 10-CURRENT-UNSTABLE-*.iso VS 9-RELEASE.ISO So even very novice user will think twice before downloading. Is there any reason why ISOs can't be named differently from svn tag/branch? I don't see this. IMHO, this must have been done a lot of time ago. But, I may not know some constraints/restrictions/rules of development process, maybe HEAD is really necessary. I think this is more question to release engineering team than to current. > > Gr > Johan Hendriks > > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Regards, Alexander Yerenkow
