It looks like they distribute RSA to everyone, including the US mirrors, and it's not built by default unless you take explicit action to enable it (i.e. it just builds a subset of the full distribution). Last time I Hmm, according to their own press, there's some mechanism more clever than

Also useful would be a review status of the freebsd tree. So (approved) people can "sign off" on a particular file or directory as having been reviewed as of a certain date, and we can work in a coordinated fashion. Well, IMHO what you guys most significantly need is a "tinderbox" style page

This means nothing out of context. I hope we don't go on a witch hunt. No, but there is some merit to simply replacing these so that they don't show up on our radar later. I don't see any reason, for example, why anyone should still be using gets() and our implementation even gets whiney

Hmmm, I can understand the build/install portion but will it boot since one machine is -CURRENT from 3/99 and the other is 3.3-RELEASE. Are you still running current, Vince? I thought we established over a year a go that -current was *not* for you since you don't take the requisite time

1999-10-30 Thread Jordan K. Hubbard
I think a lot of the people who run older versions of -current, and upgrade sporadically, have done so because there are particular things missing out of -STABLE that they need (or want). Which is a fair point, and hopefully we'll be branching 4.0 sooner this time so the wait is not so long.
