(Unofficial answer :-) I think it would be quite straightforward for anyone to construct the ``official'' one theirselves. It's quite similiar, as you can build your own 5.3-RELEASE any time you want (after the release engineering team finally released it, of course): make release CHROOTDIR=3D/local3/release \ BUILDNAME=3D5.3-RELEASE \ CVSROOT=3D/host/cvs/usr/home/ncvs \ RELEASETAG=3DRELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE This assumes that you have a empty directory /local3/release, and a CVS mirror repository stored in /host/cvs/usr/home/ncvs. With the ability of building a custom release, it's possible to build your own release which are more compact, or suitable for large scale deployment (like what I am doing at my company). Additionally this gives you an opportunity of carrying your own packages/patches that is not yet MFC'ed (for some reasons, and we definatelly wants to know what and why you need so you won't need to make these patches everytime), etc. Cheers, --=20 Xin LI http://www.delphij.net/ See complete headers for GPG key and other information. --envbJBWh7q8WU6mo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD4DBQFBhg8//cVsHxFZiIoRAi8TAJ9wQQn/PtIbq0t0VMiEDKXncnZS3ACYvXMx +21k75qQdXpc42TPizHF6Q== =Y7kf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --envbJBWh7q8WU6mo--
