The version number can be bumped once per release, and that bump will probably occur sometime prior to the release of FreeBSD-3.0. > > does anyone realize how much this change breaks????!!!! > Does someone know the meaning of "-current"? If someone isn't prepared to recompile seemingly broken apps, then don't run -current. If 3rd party software is critical, then run an official release of FreeBSD or the -stable branch. See the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org about who should be running -current. -- Steve finger kargl@troutmask.apl.washington.edu http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~clesceri/kargl.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
