As it i will take this onboard and attempt not to be such a sourpuss in future :-) (though i still want to get some stuff off my chest about the 5.0 DP release here) > stands now, I have no idea what your complaints are, because all I > hear from you are vague snide remarks. On those rare occasions when > you've mentioned something specific, we have addressed it. put it down to some years of frustation in getting anything done in this forum. apologies if it seems like all i do is complain, but yes, i do dislike what i see as arbitary changes because it causes me extra work. so for the 5.0 example, yes, it's "only" 2 images. which is one more than any release before 4.4 and three less than 4.5. so thats the system? if a release "that is not a full release" and has 1 or more iso images but less than 5, it will get dropped into the main ISO tree instead of its own tree ? c'mon. so specifically for the next DP release can we get a 5.0 directory and put iso images into it like 4.5 and 4.4 before it. regards, -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
