He was annoyed and confused because he thought > beta meant "beta quality" (as in inferior software). Well, there are two different things here though: 1. The usage of "BETA" to denote some pre-release collection of bits on an FTP site. 2. The usage of BETA in newvers.sh I think it's #2 which is actually causing all the problems here and I would happily forgo changing newvers.sh until it's time for the actual release. I don't usually mark it BETA myself, but one of my helpers here jumped the gun this time. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
