If they do a 'sup; make all; make install' every day from may through july, the date on send-pr will never change - it'll still say it's a may release, even though it's totally july-vintage code they're running. Hence, my suggested change to send-pr, so that it uses the installed version of uname at run time, not the time of the first make. (make all will never change the RELEASE!= entry in an otherwise up-to-date send-pr in the build area). -Peter > -- > Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. > http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. > whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc. > Just that: dried leaves in boiling water ? >
