I'm thinking about just on a regular > basis sort of tracking of stable, here. At the office, we've got a machine that does a CVSup followed by a "make world" once a week. It has /usr/src and /usr/obj exported via NFS. Once a month, we check to make sure the last build was successful, and then do "make installworld" over the network from the other servers. The build machine also does "make release" periodically, so we can use it as an FTP or NFS target for new installs. At home, I CVSup weekly. I examine the CVSup log to see if anything interesting has changed. If so, I "make world", and make a new kernel if the change was to a kernel module. Otherwise, I tend to make world and the kernel on the first of each month to catch up all the pending fixes. I kind of like having a first-of-the-month date stamp on my binaries, but I'm kinda anal about that stuff. -crl -- Chad R.
