>What is the official policy about fixing bugs in -stable? The basic policy is that fixes must be committed to -current first and then brought into -stable when it is felt that they have had adequate testing. Sometimes this is immediate, but most of the time it is weeks, months, or never. Serious bugfixes almost always make it into -stable, less serious bugfixes are sometimes overlooked. The best way to get a fix into -stable is to pester people about it. Otherwise it is up to the good memory of the committer to remember it, with some amount of random chance added in. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
