Dippel I'm just curious to the what and why. It was all explained at the slackathon. In short some changes now in the tree and coming need the additional 1 month of this release cycle. 4.7 will be released on the well known date. Thanks for the update, I hope undeadly makes a fuss of it :-) The increase in packages and hardware support over the last years has been way too fast, I'm still getting over the shock of having OpenOffice JAVA as a package :-) Although it would be useful if we could aim Theo at Adobe (Flash...) and save the universe 8-) Actually, better to aim Theo at YouTube and their ilk so they stop using Flash in the first place.

To: misc@openbsd.org Date: Friday, October 31, 2008, 4:34 PM Nov 1, 2008. We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.4. This is our 24th release on CD-ROM (and 25th via FTP). We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote holes in the default install. Cheers to Theo and the devs for bothering with -release. Gratefully yours, a sysadmin

Any OpenBSD newbie (I'm too old to use n00b) should See, hear pay up: that's why there is new artwork (see) and a lovely song (hear) and with each release (pay up for CD). It is all very well designed :-) Happy Daze! PS. A rolling release would require more resources/input from artists for starters :-P

I would to point your attention to the fact, that I'm not trying to waste neither project people's time, nor anyone's. Besides - first: I'm not on the dev list, just on the misc - and second: answering posts isn't obligatory (or perhaps I missed something?). Yet again you demonstrate a lack of study into the OpenBSD project and it's people: I think you underestimate the importance of this misc mailing lists, this is not the place to demonstrate a lack of understanding of what OpenBSD is about or that you haven't read anything about the OpenBSD release system :-) I hope you hang around and get into the OpenBSD frame of mind. Also, Undeadly.org is a good place to frequent. If you like the rolling release concept, I would suggest you investigate following -current, but I'm not a developer. Out of personal interest: have you been using OpenBSD long, and what do you use it for? For me as a sysadmin of small business networks, OpenBSD-stable is heaven to the Windows SmallBizServer hell :-) -- With Friendly Regards, Wim Wauters T/A Unisoft Design
