We really want users to test the package set along with the release. We provide snapshots for users who are only interested in testing that their hardware works with a certain new feature. The release candidates are exactly that, and they are meant to allow our users to provide input into the final packaging that will make up the release. We've had significant problems with the interaction between our installation tools and package set in the past, so this suggests to me that we need more QA testing of full releases + package sets, not less. - Murray --E0GpUEom8qu4+vDz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (SunOS) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8SUKgtNcQog5FH30RAkIXAJwIBuL0Q5826iOOzsO1Hh58XH9X1gCfcrJb MZcgOkcygGIZy2VHvajX7qw= =UiAs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --E0GpUEom8qu4+vDz-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
