The release process is stable goes to pre-release, then rc (maybe more than one). The release is made and we go back to stable again. > I have already noticed some instability, so far with xmms it keeps > crashing out on me while playing MP3s, which it did not do on 6.2. > I still have more to test, which I'll do tomorrow, I just checked my > mail and put some MP3s on tonight while doing non-puter things. > > Is anyone else running 6.3PR with ports as of 1 week ago? > I am: FreeBSD melon.esperance-linux.co.uk 6.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE #0: Thu Nov 15 16:09:06 GMT 2007 root@melon.esperance-linux.co.uk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MELON_UP i386 Although, I've supped my ports since then. I've found it pretty solid although vim crashed on me for the 1st time in 10 years. I've no idea whether it was because of the OS or application but it recovered fine and hasn't crashed again. As for xmms: [frank@melon:frank/latex/misc] $ xmms Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) serial 2423 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0 Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) serial 2424 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0 [frank@melon:frank/latex/misc] $ I haven't really looked into it (it's got umpteen dependencies), just rebuilt it to see if that did any good (it didn't). Should file a pr if others are getting problems with this port too. I just use mplayer for now. BTW: xmms-1.2.10_10 -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html
