Lots and lots and lots of past experience has shown us that it really freaks some people out if newvers.sh on a RELENG_X branch says anything other than -STABLE, -PRERELEASE, or -RELEASE. Just before the Release Candidates we will create the RELENG_5_4 branch and the RCs will be based on that. Once that's done we are free to name that RELENG_5_4 branch "-RC1", "-RC2", etc. But doing that sort of thing on the RELENG_X branches has caused lots of panic-stricken email from people who believe the RELENG_X branches are "stable branches" and therefore should never have words like "-BETA" associated with them. --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-PV6/lsQP3qdqGXLJcrHj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCPyxS/G14VSmup/YRAn0mAJ9jGm14+BNEhGKkPFc9g4X7kGO7ogCdHcjz qFQ8UA8ZR0+xPxBJAEDSJcc= =0lZ6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-PV6/lsQP3qdqGXLJcrHj--
