There is no separate tree for -current and -stable - they are different branches of the same tree. The whole problem has been that CVS is not very good at coordinating this kind of "branched" development and has basically been a tremendous pain in the tonsils, which is why -stable is going away. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
