So these deltas are only created at every release instead of every 100 deltas like the xEmpty's? Would it not be better to create an xR delta at the same time as the xEmpty delta then you could upgrade to the -stable code easily by downloading the deltas that then come afterwards as well? By only creating xR deltas during the release of another version it means that you can only update from release to release and nothing in between. For example, I am sitting here with the 2.2.7-Release code on CD. And we are currently half way in between 2.2.7-Release and 2.2.8-Release. I cannot update to the 'current' -stable code, because the next xR delta will not be created untill 2.2.8 is released. Am I right? >Could somebody please create these Release Deltas, so that this question >never comes up on the list again. Whoops. Do I detect that this has come up on the list before? :-) -- Andrew Boothman http://sour.cream.org PGP Key Available From Public Servers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
