After 2.2.8 the 2.2 development branch should be considered dead and will have no major (if any) changes made to it. Once the 3.0 branch is considered 'stable' enough (an I believe many already consider it to be) it will have it's development shared between two new -stable and -current branches, identically to how 2.2 used to. I essence we are simply in transition between 2.2 and 3. -STABLE is still 2.2 and -CURRENT is 3. -- Andrew Boothman http://sour.cream.org/ http://www.boothman.easynet.co.uk/andrew/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
