I'm really sorry for the breakage. I'm trying to treat -STABLE very gently, unfortunately this time I made a mistake. The change was committed to HEAD at 9 August. The change fixed one bug, but introduced another, which I didn't expected. The change seemed to be trivial and I only tested that it fixes the bug I was tracking down, I haven't looked for regressions. After nearly one month in HEAD, I MFCed the change (at 4 September), because I wanted it to be released in -BETAs, so people can test it if they already didn't in HEAD and I was quite sure that after 1 month in HEAD the change is ok. I found the problem after 4 days (at 8 September) and backed the change out from the RELENG_6 branch. Once again, I'm really sorry, I'm trying not to make such surprises to the users, unfortunately it sometimes happens and you have to be ready that many changes goes to -STABLE branch just before release, so they can be tested by a wider audience. That's why we prepare -BETAs and not release -RELEASEs immediately. I'm not writting this to justify my mistake, just trying to show how you can avoid such bad days in the future. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
