A build is in progress right now based on that tag. However, that does not mean that we can't change anything. Tags can be, and usually are, slid as last minute problems are uncovered. We have to go through the checklists and make sure all of the version numbers were bumped, perform further testing on the package build, etc. Most problems should have been caught during the RC phase, but that is not always the case. The release is not official until a PGP signed message is sent to announce@FreeBSD.org by someone on the release engineering team. For 4.6, that message will come from me. For more information, please read all of the material on : http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng In particular, the release engineering article contains a lot of information about the process. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
