The `fixed v1.xxx' identifies the source code revision at which the problem was fixed. Most programs should contain a revision ID string identifying the revisions of relevant source files, but not all do. For example, the tcpslice(8) bug listed on the Y2K page identifies rev. 1.8 as the revision which fixed the bug; I can type on my machine: wollman@khavrinen(3518)$ ident `type -p tcpslice` /usr/sbin/tcpslice: $Id: tcpslice.c,v 1.5 1998/01/20 07:30:27 charnier Exp $ ...which tells me that I do not have the Y2K-OK revision of tcpslice. Not all programs include ID strings; you'll have to check the CVS repository <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi>; to find out more information on such programs. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
