That depends on how far out of sync the sources the patch is against are with -CURRENT. > I've also got a number of cosmetic patches saved up, but I'm not sure > whether to send them as patches to -RELEASE 4 or 5 or -STABLE or -CURRENT > or all of the above. Sugestions please? Submitting patches against -CURRENT is the best solution. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
