Upgrading a production box would cause non-acceptable downtimes. Upgrading 3.x-S to 3.5-S can be done using CVSuping and make buildworld while in production. make installworld needs a couple of minutes in single-user mode only. Hardly anybody will notice if I do this at, say, 6 a.m. IMHO, the 3-Stable branch has at least another year of live in it -- although it should receive critical fixes only now. Just my $.05. -Christoph Sold james scoch wrote: > I noted in your announcements that FreeBSD v.3.5 is due sometime after > 20JUN00. > I couldn't believe my ears when I saw that. v4.0 seems to be working > quite well since I installed it earlier this year. > Sorry fellows, but even after celebrating my 19th birthday anniversary > this past February 29, I still haven't learned to resist temptation. > > jschoch@siscom.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
