That way it gets some testing and should increase confidence for a post-RC3 merge. BTW: could we have a policy on the release branch (or HEAD if that's what we're releasing from) that commits are disallowed at least 2 hours before the release starts. That way all changes have been propagated without having to worry about getting that last commit. Exceptions allowed of course. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
