The EOL for 12.1 was Nov-2019. Odd. It _says_ it's the STABLE branch. > > You need to get a later version or run -STABLE (ie: build from source > off the stable/12 branch). It _was_ built from the stable/12 branch. All be it a good while ago. I guess I've somehow lost my understanding of what tracking STABLE really means. Or maybe it's changed. But I installed from a 12-STABLE medium. uname(1) reports it's 12-STABLE (12.1-STABLE). But it's _not_ 12-STABLE. See my confusion? :-) Thanks again. --Chris > > Cheers. > -- > Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz>
