Date: Sun, 07 May 1995 23:59:03 +0200 From: Mark Murray Sender: current-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi Guys... When 2.0.5-ALPHA/BETA/RELEASE comes out, I'd kinda like to be up to date with local secure tarballs. I've been looking at the release/Makefile, and so far it looks easy. I have some questions though: 1) Is buildname set to the name of the distribution, like FreeBSD-2.0.5-RELEASE? 2) I am going to copy -Rp the sources instead of using cvs. Any problems likely to crop up? 3) Is there anything else I need to know? Apart from 'it will take ar _loooong_ time' :-) 4) Could someone please keep me in touch with when the actual releases get rolled so I can run mine at the same/similar time? Thanks! -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200
