Or are you planing to backport most > of the changes in -CURRENT to -RELEASE as well? The 3 changes in the patchfile can easily be backported. I don't think any patches should be applied to the 2.2.x branch. I don't mind storing those patches on my site so anyone who is still using 2.2.8 can easily apply them (if applicable :-) Currently, Linux emulation is identical for -stable and -current (as far as I can see it). I can't remember any major changes in -current. If a change is generally "good" then it shall probably also be applied to -stable as well (if at all possible, of course). The best thing you can do is to track -stable. That way you'll get the best of emulation and stability. As for the linux-base and linux-devel ports. I'd like to follow the RH releases with a couple of weeks/months between the RH release and the ports update. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ Amsterdam, The Netherlands tel: +31 20 4200655 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
