I have continued, however, to follow the isc mailing list on what's been going on with 2.1 "release". Though it was called a "release" version, it appears that that label has been grain-of-salted as most of the traffic concerning fixes and whatnot have concerned the development snapshots. 2.1 will actually compile (whereas there are problems with 2.0 at that stage); however, the functionality issues are such that it would be impossible to keep a port for INN 2 current and working. There were a couple times when I was following the snap tree that the configuration files changed. It will be a fine work once it is completed, but the folks working on it need more time. At that time it will hopefully be ready for production level servers. --abjectly unoffical commentary mode OFF-- Regards, Stephen --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Stephen Spencer finger gladiatr@artorius.sunflower.com for - - administrator PGP key. - - Sunflower Datavision http://www.sunflower.com - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
