Overview of NetBSD progress at the below URL. EXCERPT:
Q. Do you plan to modify the release cycle too, maybe to something like one release every six months, as OpenBSD does? Christos Zoulas: Yes, we are planning to have more frequent releases. We have made a lot of mistakes in the past that have delayed the release schedules, but hopefully we have learned from them. We were very aggressive about committing large sub-system upgrades just before a release, and that added a lot of bugs to the code that needed to be fixed for the release. This not only delays the releases, but also adds extra work, since each bug needs to be tested on head and pulled up via patches by the release engineering group. Having said that, I don't think that we want to have too-frequent releases, because we don't want to force frequent upgrades on our production users http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/02/24/netbsd.html _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list http://www.cwelug.org/ [email protected] http://lists.firepipe.net/listinfo/cwe-lug
