I am happy to help out. Granted my kFreeBSD specific knowledge is limited. > If we're going to use 10.0, then I'd upload kfreebsd-kernel-headers 10.0 > to experimental right away.

If i'm reading the release charts right, 9.x generation support may drop off before jessie end of security support, and i presume more upstream development/maintenance will be moved over to the 11.x/10.x generations. Similarly I presume jessie will be releasing with eglibc 2.18 (or maybe better) which is also still in experimental. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
