Re: 4.9-STABLE -- 4.8-RELEASE downgrade. Pitfalls?

The problem i noticed was related to use of parenthesis in .if ... .endif structure. Thanks for the response, Parv, but ugh! I cringe at the notion that continually tweaking make and the port Makefiles causes problems with backwards compatibility to a still-supported FreeBSD release. That looks like the message that i sent to one of the FreeBSD lists. After searching PR database, it seems somebody else found the exact reason... http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/60288 I think life w/ NetBSD would not be so bad via its FreeBSD ports equivalent pkgsrc. One other known benefit, via pkgviews, is that multiple versions of a particular an be simultaneously installed/used at the cost of use of many symbolic links. Here are some things on pkgsrc ... http://www.NetBSD.org/~jlam/pkgsrcCon/presentations.html http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/ http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/software/packages.html http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/software/pkgviews.pdf The last time i read papers/slides listed on pkgsrcCon, ugly symbolic links would have been the only problem for me after the problem of potentially missing ported software that i currently use on FreeBSD. (No, i have not checked the pkgsrc list). Mind you that i have no experience of NetBSD or pkgsrc, so both may have their own problems currently unknown to me. - Parv -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not a FreeBSD guru, nor I am on the development team ... so this is just my assumpions ... that may happen to be correct. :))) There's been no release announcement yet. Until you see one, just pretend that anything labeled 4.8-RELEASE doesn't exist. It's that simple, OK? :-) In an ideal world, the release engineering team could put the releases, well, somewhere, they'd magically get pushed out instantaneously to all of the mirror sites all around the world, and be guaranteed to be correct. In the real world, it takes a non-zero amount of time to get the data to a reasonable subset of the mirrors. Not all of the data is available at the same time, and even if it were, it takes about a day (at least) for most of the mirrors to get it, depending on what time of the day and what day of the week we make the bits available. There were (are?) two ongoing wrinkles in that the machine that was holding disc1.iso (for the i386) went down for awhile yesterday, plus we generally agreed that sending out a release announcement on 1 April was a Bad Idea (TM). Please be patient. Bruce. (RE team member, but speaking for myself) Well, RELEASEing of software and POPULATEing (released) software onto mirrors is different, I think :-). I'd rather vote for following order of operations: 1.label RELEASE 2.announce RELEASE in CVS tree 3.build RELEASE 4.populate ISOs 5.announce RELEASE in binary distribution 6.announce RELEASE on web site (if we want to say that RELEASE is OUT when binary distribution is available) This will eleminate situation RELEASE is labeled but not announced by RE. I think that people that don't track source tree can wait for RELEASE (in binary distribution)... Please correct me if I'm wrong...
