You might be much better served by tracking RELENG_4_6 (security patches to -RELEASE) rather than RELENG_4 (-STABLE) for a critical production machine. Although -STABLE is meant to be fairly stable, the security patches are just that -- no new features are being merged from the trunk to that branch. Also, historically, a large amount of new code gets merged in immediately after the release code freeze is lifted. It's my current practice to track RELENG_4_5 on critical remote machines, and RELENG_4_6 on production machines that are easy to get to. I suppose this might be seen as extremely conservative, but it is successful. I run one 2-processor system and a bunch of uniprocessor systems this way, and it saves me a lot of stress (especially as sysadmin is not my principal job function). -- Fred To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
