Read the -current mailing list. Brokeness is being discussed there. If you fear of the breakage, the SNAPs are indeed for you (regardless of whether you take the official ones, or just build the system after checking out from CVS -- remember, unlike NetBSD, you can continously upgrade your CVS mirror to the master CVS). The SNAPs are usually taken if the current state of affairs indicate a rather painless system. They can be as close together as one month. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
