Longer: since we are approaching the freeze date for 4.2-RELEASE real soon now there will be a surge of MFC's of fixes which we think should be in this release. I hope to test the world a few times a day and make sure that that part won't bite us, but with the diff between 4 and 5 being nearly 39 MB I might miss things, although I do try to test every single commit. I would appreciate people helping out the couple of days doing Q&A testing, especially on /stand/sysinstall. Also, if there are any outstanding system crashing bugs out there which haven't been MFC'd, please call on me and I will see if it is possible to get it merged as well. Also a note to all committers, are there people totally against me merging any of their stuff, please let me know. Thank you, and up to a good 4.2-RELEASE. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven Network- and systemadministrator VIA Net.Works The Netherlands BSD: Technical excellence at its best http://www.via-net-works.nl And the price of a Memory is the Memory of the Sorrow it brings...
