Final changes are being committed every day, sometimes every hour. I had the tree break once, then someone on the team corrected something, and an hour later it worked fine. Here is my plan: CVSup every few days so the final CVSup for the 3.4 release won't take as long (it's spread out over several days.. ) BUT.... wait for the official release announcement to build world. Or, build world as often as you want, but you can only install it if everything works that day. Everything should settle down pretty soon. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
