If you wish to say you are "staying stable", then you would want to do a buildworld frequently. At least once a week, imo. On the other hand, there is no need to be a slave to "staying stable". I tend to build once-a-month, or a little quicker than that if I see something of interest to me go by. Lately it has worked out to a buildworld about every other weekend, but I expect to drop back to once-a-month sometime soon. Stick with whatever schedule you are comfortable with. One thing I would add. If you stumble across something which is not working right, then I would suggest building stable before reporting that. (at least if you are trying to follow stable). It may very well be that a change made last week has broken something, but that something is already fixed by this week. If you did not stumble upon a problem until two weeks after you last did a buildworld, then it is probably a good idea to do a new buildworld before reporting the problem. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
