I understood that. At a time I have been in that situation, but to be there I had to "sell" the use of FreeBSD at my $WORK, and started with a single machine and limited ressources. So the existence of a cluster even for people doing real production work with FreeBSD is not a given. > > As mentioned in today's earlier announcement for 9.1-RC2, however, CVS > backporting from SVN will continue to be done for the stable/9 branch. > > Hopefully that buys some time for svnup to become reality. > One of the starting point of this thread have been that according to cvsweb, there does not seem to have been any update of releng7, releng8, and releng9 at least since October 5 or 6, which is confirmed by cvsup1.fr.freebsd.org (I have just done the test for releng8). So something is not working somewhere, and someone may ask "do somebody care about it ?" The problem with svnsup is that it had to be a prerequisite, and had not be. > Glen > Sorry to have started so long a thread.
