Do you expect me to consult freebsd-announce_at_, verify the signature of the announce, the hash of the ISOs, etc. to consider that 9.0 has been released ? No, I see 9.0 ISOs in a `releases' directory, I assume it has been released, whatever your spreading process is. Btw, none of the CHECKSUMS files are signed on the FTP. - ArnaudReceived on Mon Jan 09 2012 - 17:17:01 UTC
