[ Make a patch that brings -stable up to today's patch-level ] > There is nothing stopping us from doing that, but such a patch > would change daily and I don't think we should be in the business of > maintaining it when SUP is available for this purpose. Except that sup implies full internet connectivity of a host, and patch assumes that they can ftp a file and patch their own system. SUP also requires quite a bit more network resources than most folks have. Also, I don't think we should do this as a matter of course, but I think there are some critical patches in the tree that alot more users could benefit from if we made a patch available. Let me state this another way. If *I* made a patch and an README to go with, would anyone object to announcing it and putting it up for ftp? Again, I'll make it clear that this patch is being done to fix a number of bugs in the 2.1R, but that the patch is un-supported, etc, etc.. blah blah blah. Nate
