From: "Alfred Perlstein" <bright@wintelcom.net> > Unfortunetly patches like this don't address the problem of a user > accidentally upgrading to a version he doesn't want. > > For a patch to address that see: > > http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=28213+0+archive/2001/freebsd-ar ch/20010325.freebsd-arch > Your patch is much better, as the user is informed before install[kernel|world] that they are upgrading to a newer release. But it doesn't address the RC, BETA tag naming issue. What you could do is check $newvers for the RC, BETA, and CURRENT tags, and then provide URL links to the appropriate Handbook/FAQ entries for RC, BETA, and CURRENT. That way we can get theses "I cvsuped STABLE and now I have BETA/RC" questions off the list. Scot PS: I didn't mean to start a new thread on this subject.
