Hubbard" <jkh@time.cdrom.com> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce Subject: 2.2-970422-RELENG on ftp.freebsd.org (and about SNAP CDs..) Date: 22 Apr 1997 14:07:03 -0500 Organization: FreeBSD Project Lines: 36 Sender: daemon@taronga.com Approved: peter@taronga.com Message-ID: <5jj28n$qks@bonkers.taronga.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.taronga.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce:535 As many of you probably already know, a "SNAP" release is built once per day on the RELENG_2_2 branch (where 2.2.1 came from and from where future 2.2.x releases will be derived) and put up for anonymous FTP at: ftp://releng22.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD Since this site isn't always the easiest to get to or mirror, I will also periodically copy "known good" release snapshots to ftp.freebsd.org, and that is what I have done today. This release contains all of Justin's latest fixes to the Adaptec 2940 driver and may be a better "installation target" for people creating busy news servers and the like. I will also start putting releases from *both* the 3.0 and 2.2 branches on the Walnut Creek CDROM SNAPshot CDs since we're now going to a 2-CD set on that product and, well, why not? This release is also called "2.2-970422-RELENG" rather than the more traditional "2.2-970422-SNAP" simply to denote the fact that it comes from releng22.freebsd.org and is merely another release in an ongoing daily series of releases, not just an occasional event like a true SNAP would be (and, to answer the next question, the next 3.0 SNAP is coming very soon - I'm still fighting some build issues which should be resolved shortly). Finally, I should note again that since the SNAP CDs are now a 2-CD set and hence more expensive to produce (not so much the cost of the extra CD but the special 2-CD case), the retail price Walnut Creek CDROM will be charging for SNAP CDs *is changing* from $24.95 to $39.95. The subscription price of $14.95 will remain unchanged and makes subscribing to the SNAP an even better deal now since you'll be getting several SNAPs as well as the full, unpacked CVS tree (on the 2nd CD) where I wasn't able to provide it before due to space constraints. Just FYI! Jordan
