With the amount of work that goes into FreeBSD and the shear size and complexity of it all, its a wonder it doesnt break more often! I recall the first time I discovered cvsup and began to contemplate the whole process, I was quite amazed by it all...imagine, downloading the deltas to the source code to an entire OS. I was pretty blown away by the fact that it worked. Considering that its done on a daily basis and out of the 365 days a year that changes get made, I think I can count on one hand the amount of times there were actual source code problems, and not many more times where there wasnt some form of 'heads up' posted somewhere about important changes. In short, it rocks! ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa, Network Admin * mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications Corp, * http://www.sentex.net/mike Cambridge, Ontario * 01.519.651.3400 Canada * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
