When there's a security breach because you are now on an unmaintained branch and are missing crucial updates, the server's behaviour suddenly becomes unpredictable, again. Personally, I think the "role" keywords (testing, unstable, etc.) are almost always a wiser idea than are branch names, reflecting as they do the distance you wish to remain from the advancing leading edge. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
