The aim is to complete as many feature as possiblei without shipping a broken 5.0. There is, however, a limited number of hands doing to dirty work. > Will 5.0 stable be created after KSE milestone 4 commit? No. 5.0-STABLE will be created after 5.0-RELEASE. However, Julian will probably have (a portion of) KSE milestone 4 committed before 5.0-RELEASE is released. > I just wanted to know more about the release policy. http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html > After 5.0 stable is released, is the development in the current > branch completely be named 6.0? Yes. > Or is the development in current tree will continue to be merged > with 5.x for some time? Features in the FreeBSD-current tree are often merged back to FreeBSD-stable. This include features in 5.x that get merged back to FreeBSD 4.x. There is no reason why features added to 6.x can't be merged back to 5.x (other than man power). -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
