I would strongly recommend (to both of you) of referring to things by either full version string (e.g. 8.2-RELEASE or 8.2-STABLE), or alternatively by release tag (e.g. RELENG_8_2 or RELENG_8). The "x.y" nomenclature hasn't ever sufficed. Regardless of what convention you go with, always remember to include your kernel/world build date (the date shown in "uname -a" is usually sufficient as long as you haven't done something nonsensical like rebuilding kernel and not world). This is *especially* important when reporting issues with RELENG_8 (8.2-STABLE), because MFC's happen all the time, case in point. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
