People who want to run 2.2.8 should install it from CDROM and Be Happy. If they want distfiles, most if not all are on the CD (or still scattered around the net). If they want packages, they're there too. Since, as you yourself note, most people wouldn't know a CVSup from their left elbow, having their /usr/ports suddenly change is also not an issue. They can continue to use the 2.2.8 ports collection as it was at 2.2.8-RELEASE time with a high degree of success (which, with n thousand ports, is about the best stats you can ever hope for) and that's all there is to it. Enough said on this topic I think! - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
