Yes. > Is it considered mature/stable?? In summary, stable beta releases are "ok to use", according to the author. Don't use the alpha releases for production work, yet. I asked Lasse about this earlier today. Maybe he'll repost his reply for the list. So far, it looks good enough for me, and I'm pretty picky. I'll be careful/paranoid, of course, and may distribute a signature or checksum of the uncompressed tarball too, just in case. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
