Thanks for posting this question. I see some useful information in other replies to this thread and we'll want to make sure that makes its way to appropriate documentation. For future advisories we should also report the commit count associated with the fix; this is a monotonically-increasing number and is reported in the uname. If you build stable/13 right now you would get "stable/13-n244668-4664afc05402", and the fix in 894360bacd42f021551f76518edd445f6d299f2e corresponds to n244572. 244668 being larger than 244572 indicates that the fix is included. These counts are not unique across different branches; you can only compare counts for the same branch. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
