The implication of all of stable/12/ being supported would be support of stable/12/ from on or after its creation: QUOTE Revision 339434 - Directory Listing=20 Modified Fri Oct 19 00:09:24 2018 UTC (2 years, 4 months ago) by gjb=20 Copied from: head revision 339432 Copy head@r339432 to stable/12 as part of the 12.0-RELEASE cycle. Additional post-branch commits will follow. END QUOTE Such does not seem likely to me. What would be the point of dropping 12.0-RELEASE support and 12.1-RELEASE support if such stable/12/ history was covered, some of that history being minor variations on the 12.0-RELEASE or 12.1-RELEASE ? Note: Despite some claims in other messages, svn -r363918 is not 12.1-RELEASE ( not -r354233 ) and -r363918 is shown as (only) in stable/12/ by svn. Your claim of 12-STABLE was correct, just not detailed enough. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
