From: http://www.kame.net/project-overview.html#release ----- snip ---------- Releasing Plan Our main development platform is currently FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE at this moment (and will be future 2.2.x-RELEASE). We have chosen 2.2.x-RELEASE because: it is excellent for daily use. well-maintained "ports" tree helps us modify applications to support IPv6. and 3.0-current is too hard to track if we maintain cvs repository separately. We also support BSDI 3.1 and NetBSD 1.3.2. They are in-sync with FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE version of KAME stack. We plan to release KAME kit in three ways: SNAP is for for hackers/researchers, will be released once a week (every Monday). It will include whole bunch of experimental items. It may or may not be stable. STABLE is for more broader public, will be made twice a month (odd months). Many documents are supposed to be updated in STABLE. Since it is aimed to be a stable snapshot, experimental items are not included in STABLE kits. RELEASE is an official release for us, will be made twice a year (September and March). Also, we are happy to merge our stack to *BSD cvs repository. We'd like to provide the stack for other *BSDs too, if time and human resource allows. Even if we cannot afford the man power or cannot merge our code into some *BSD repository, we will release easy-to-install kit for those *BSDs. For FreeBSD, we are now porting KAME stack to FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP-980426, and then there will be a port for 3.0-current. After we completed the work, we would like to merge our code to FreeBSD master repository, and then we can promise to maintain sys/netinet6 and related part of 3.0-current, at least while the KAME project is there. ----- snip ---------- -- Andreas Klemm http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas What gives you 90% more speed, for example, in kernel compilation ? http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~fsmp/SMP/akgraph-a/graph1.html "NT = Not Today" (Maggie Biggs) ``powered by FreeBSD SMP'' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
