A consequence of having an open source repository is that people have access during every stage of the release engineering process. Are you suggesting that all source access be locked out from the time the tag is laid down until it's been tested and passes final QA? Needing to adjust tags is a normal and expected part of making a FreeBSD release..without it the releases would be much poorer quality. > ps. this email was written on a box that has been running 4.8-RELEASE for > over a day. I'll be a very sad puppy if someone moves the tag now. :'( But perhaps next time you'd learn to wait until the release is actually ready :-) Kris --LpQ9ahxlCli8rRTG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+ihDcWry0BWjoQKURAo3oAJ9SM130Akpi1lBArHyg3+Udn6q5ygCeNEk/ ldT8Qq7iMpErpzq8rKDkfBw= =3rwR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LpQ9ahxlCli8rRTG--
