We leave the development branch a release is coming from named PRERELEASE until the release is completed. No matter what we do with the development branches during this phase of a release process it's wrong. Some people think it's strange leaving it name PRERELEASE that long (and this release has dragged on so long it's been in this state for longer than normal...). Other people do an update to a machine, see it named -STABLE, and assume that means the release has happened and wonder why they can't find it. Since that second set of people are typically less in tune with what's going on (don't follow mailing lists, often times less technically oriented, etc.) we've decided to cater to them. I'll shift RELENG_7 to -STABLE as soon as the release is completed. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith_at_cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
