Difficult to say. 20051105 was around 6.0-RELEASE. The 6-STABLE branch was created in July 2005, so there were 4 months worth of changes in -CURRENT between the 6-STABLE branchpoint and the snapshot you run. So, it is possible that your 7-CURRENT has ABI incompatibilities with 6-STABLE, in which case a binary "upgrade" from 7-CURRENT to 6.2-RELEASE may not be trivial. However, given that your 7-CURRENT is around the time of 6.0-RELEASE and given that we try not to make big sweeping changes before the release is out on the "parent" branch, chances are that no major ABI incompatibilities were introduced yet. -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
