The last time he touched the 5.x branch was for 5.3. I had a weird issue with a 5.3->5.4 upgrade a while back. My tape drive disappeared :(. I didn't have time to investigate, so I just backed down to 5.3, which works fine while I work up a schedule to migrate to 6.X. -- Anish Mistry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBELa1HxqA5ziudZT0RApYHAJ9BtiIDfCSq2WsA3Svn840llgd4+wCg0U9+ BnONgSH1gQPLhtcCre6enT0= =6rPX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
