I just want to point out, POLA really only applies to -STABLE, and we're talking very specifically about -CURRENT. IN -CURRENT, substantial changes can be made with little warning, and only documentation sometimes (most of the time, people give a ***HEADS UP!*** email on this list). However don;t assume because something is one way in the 4.x branch that it will be the same in 5.x. If this were the case, we'd have very little progress. -Trish -- Trish Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ecartis Core Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] EFNet IRC Operator @ efnet.demon.co.uk AilleCat@EFNet Key fingerprint = C44E 8E63 6E3C 18BD 608F E004 9DC7 C2E9 0E24 DFBD To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
