Just an observation. I'm pretty sure that this has come up in the past. You would need a server to run (?)daily builds against 3.2-STABLE, and build a tar.gz file of the files that have changed since 3.2-RELEASE or 3.1-RELEASE. (Or use xdelta, if it helps. Is there an xdelta equivelant to patch?) Not hard, but since we've got cvsup and make world, I can't see that there's all that much incentive to do the work or provide the infrastructure. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
