Damn, sign bug! Should have read: I don't agree with your rather rabid "current must always work" attitude, but having been one of the primary people through the 1.0 to 2.0 transition I know how many developers the opposite cost us. The meaning here is: No, it can't be basically useless for months on end, but yes, it may be dead for days or maybe even a week. I think I will agree that requiring UP to compile and work (for the regular -current definition of "work") for at leat 80-90% of the days is not an unreasonable requirement. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
