RELENG_4_4 has had two changes in nearly three months since the release, both in the last week. The first is the patch for FreeBSD-SA-01:63.openssh (the "UseLogin" problem). That moved us to 4.4-RELEASE-p1. The second is a change to directory permissions in pkg_install. However, that change didn't include a change to UPDATING or to the patchlevel number (I would expect a bump to 4.4-RELEASE-p2). <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/lib/pen.c?f=u&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_4&logsort=date>; RELENG_4_3 is at 4.3-RELEASE-p21. I stopped tracking it a month or two ago. Nick B To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
