on 17/01/2012 00:28 John Kozubik said the following: > we going to run RELEASE software ONLY My opinion: you've put yourself in a box that is not very compatible with the current FreeBSD release strategy. With your scale and restrictions you probably should just use the FreeBSD source and roll your own releases from a stable branch of interest (including testing, etc). Or have your own "branch" where you could cherry-pick interesting changes from any FreeBSD branches. Tools like e.g. git and mercurial make it easy. Of course, this strategy is not as easy as trying to persuade the rest of FreeBSD community/project/thing to change its ways, but perhaps a little bit more realistic. You can bond with similarly minded organizations to share costs/work/etc. It's a community-driven project after all. -- Andriy Gapon
