It's 2018 Ian, -CURRENT is not as much of a flux as it used to be (but it takes a lot more time to build now). Disks got larger, filesystems learned snapshots; one can update their machines and go back easily if things went south. Development, collaboration, testing/CI, etc. tools also got better, people no longer commit their WIP to -CURRENT in hope that it'll work (at least not as often as 15-20 years ago. :-) ./danfe _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
