Whether or not 3.0 is "stable" or not at the outset will also just have to depend on a variety of factors and it's too early to say whether it'll be 3.0 or 3.0.5 or even 3.0.6 before it's safe to jump aboard with that branch. > Having not followed much 3.0 development (and perhaps others have the > same problem) I cannot really say what are the significant differences > between 2.2.X and 3.0 and what could be backported. Sure you can - cvs diff's output is all any of us have when it comes to figuring out how much has actually changed between branches - you think any of us remember even half of what's gone in since we branched? No way! :-) > Can you make a short list of the most important differences and a rough > indication of the stability of each item and difficulty in porting > things back to 2.X ? No. That's a lot of work. :-) Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
