Basically, we expect that if you can cvsup once, you can | cvsup twice :) Do they work with arbitrary combinations of binary updates ? Which is to say are they generated from 4.3-RELEASE or generated from 4.3-RELEASE + previous binary updates? I'm not sure there would be any contention there, but, I can see how it could lead to the same situation as cvsupping (given enough updates). -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
