I have the disk space and the bandwidth. My "To do" list is already overflowing. However, it is in fact one of the things on the "To do" list. I built the 2.2->2.2.1 binary upgrade by hand by unpacking the -RELEASE files and doing a diff --brief on the tree. Tracking 2.2-STABLE probably means running a 2.2-STABLE machine that I am confident of saying "make world" on (not that there should be too much to make). Yes, I'll do it, if someone gives me a hand to work out the best way of tracking differences (I, also have not learnt CTM/CVSUP) Danny
