What I'd like for the 2.0.5 release is a seperate sup tree containing patch texts, say, /usr/src/syspatch This would contain just kernel bug fixes for 2.0.5 as you guys continue development motion towards a 2.1. This would allow those of us who may not need a new feature to stabalize a server in the 2.0.5 world. This may also be of some benefit to your wc site. Right now I can sort of do this by doing file compares of this week's stabalized/customized snapshot against the -current. I can pull fixes out of -current and stuff them into my snapshot. The files could be as simple as a note explaining the bug and the source to refer to in -current for the patch. If I get a dump, say, when I shove several megabytes through a pipe, I could search something and see if there is already a fix. Maybe you guys have a database of this already and I just am not aware of how to access it. If I don't see a report of a similar bug I could then report it, and some attention could be paid to it for the 2.1 release. Regards, Mark Hittinger bugs@win.net
