Thank god, nothing really can happen, if you deploy a new -STABLE on your servers, since of course before deploying a new piece of software it's being tested on a non-prod test setup, where you'll notice such apparent problems - especially when using -STABLE, where you never know, if you are probably just in the middle of a bigger commit. So, since nothing important could break, what's the hassle all about? - Oliver -- | Oliver Brandmueller | Offenbacher Str. 1 | Germany D-14197 Berlin | | Fon +49-172-3130856 | Fax +49-172-3145027 | WWW: http://the.addict.de/ | | Ich bin das Internet.
