X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] X-Nntp-Posting-User: le Lines: 15 Organization: Putnam Internet Services Message-ID: <E7nxwK.DI1@nonexistent.com> X-Trace: 859400802/12844 X-Nntp-Posting-Host: main.put.com Date: Wed, 26 Mar 1997 18:26:44 GMT Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:37771 Well,the last week has seen a couple of "after-releases", 2.1.7.1 and 2.2.1,just as we thought the 2.1.x branch had finally finished and 2.2 finally brought to release status... obviously 2.1.7.1,unlike 2.1.6.1,came too late to make the CDROM version...I note that this further upgrade is recommended for news servers(and I think my news server would be easier to upgrade than my mail/WWW/DNS server,which has a recompiled-for-long-UIDs kernel that would have to be recreated).(Currently both machines run 2.1.0).(My current SCSI adapter is a BusLogic,though,not an Adaptec as was the center of the bugfixes for 2.1.7.1). 2.2.1,however,comes more quickly on the heels of 2.2R than did 2.2Beta and some 2.2Gammas on their predecessors...will the next CDROM release in fact be 2.2.1 and not 2.2.0?
