I'm confused. Is this an 'upgrade' release or what ? If I copy the files, say ... NOW! ... am I going to get a working system if I install it ? This seems to me a very rash thing to do. I appreciate that no suitable tool/method has yet been located/written/devised for offering patches, but until one is would it not be better to wait ? >chris demetriou >cgd@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu >comments/flames/etc. to: netbsd-comments@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu I saw the netbsd-comments address, but I do think that the discussion on this policy, and development of a patching policy needs to be discussed in the widest forum.
