The simplest way for seeing almost-guaranteed working -current is 1) read -current of 1-2 days ago, 2) find moment where there are no "Who put boot onto Red Button???" cries, 3) set up date= in supfile for good moment, but at least 24 hours ago, 4) cvsup & make world. But with this approach you only can deal with longstanding issues and you are excluded from quick discovering-and-fixing. Let's suppose this is adoptable for you and others. > Its been a while since -current was like this :). My priority is to build > a reasonably upto-date userland.
