This may be out of line for -questions, but i have a question about development here at BSD. When we read about 'breakages', what kinds of fixes do these usually involve? Is it something like a typo somehwere, or a bug, or simply an unexpected effect between two programs or modules? Also, when these are fixed, is it simply a quick fix designed to catch the exception and work around it, or is it a bit of redesigning so the patch is solid and won't need re-working at some later date? jm -- --------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick / jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org "Tears from the depth of some divine despair rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes in looking on the happy autumn fields and thinking of the days that are no more" --------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
