There is not really any such time, no. You might analyze the commitlogs and see if there is any particular time when there is a low number of commits usually made but I don't think there is. Or you might just read the cvs-all list and see if there is anything special going on at the moment. Works for me. Note that there are committers working from (among other places) Europe, Japan, and North America which means that there is somebody awake and active 24 hours a day more or less. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
