Now that 4.5-RELEASE is well past, I am considering MFC'ing the new periodic(8) structure for doing the daily security checks. However, I wanted to get an idea from this list if anyone felt this change was too disruptive. The daily, weekly, and monthly change from a single script to periodic(8) took place over a major point change, 2.2.x to 3.x. I don't know if it was just the timing or if it was not changed in 2.2-STABLE to prevent disruption. The change to -CURRENT went off with virtual silence, which I take to mean that everyone liked it (or couldn't care less). Here is a more technical description of what the change means to people tracking a branch, http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=485604+0+archive/2001/freebsd-current/20011209.freebsd-current http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=490114+0+archive/2001/freebsd-current/20011209.freebsd-current Just for the record, silence means to me that you do not have any opposition to the change. -- Crist J.
