I am noticing a 3-7 day lag on UPDATING. : Bad. cvs-all *IS*REQUIRED* for all people running -current. UPDATING tries to cull things from there on an as needed basis. It is a service that gets done when I have time. If someone wants to pay me a stipend to drop everything the instant something is committed to the tree and update UPDATING, then the lag will improve. Otherwise, 3-7 days really isn't that bad and will continue to be the case. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
