5.5 will be the last RELEASE on the 5.x line, so it's the last chance now. Alas, I don't feel myself competent enough just to apply this to RELENG_5 instantly because I haven't really followed the development of RELENG_5 for quite a while. Let's ask Gleb Smirnoff if he believes it is OK to make the change in question. Adding him to Cc:. Gleb, thanks in advance for your valuable opinion! :-) As for my dealing with this issue, I just upgraded my 5.x systems to 6-STABLE at last. It was completely painless because 5.x and 6.x didn't differ radically in the system-to-admin interface, such as configuration files etc. -- Yar _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
