Hubbard" <jkh@time.cdrom.com> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce Subject: current.freebsd.org now "open for business." Date: 12 May 1997 08:43:51 -0500 Organization: FreeBSD Project Lines: 21 Sender: daemon@taronga.com Approved: peter@taronga.com Message-ID: <5l76qn$51l@bonkers.taronga.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.taronga.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce:553 The 3.0-current daily SNAPshot server is now in operation and cranking out SNAPshots every 24 hours. The full URL for the SNAPshot area is: ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ And, unlike releng22.freebsd.org, previous SNAPshots will be kept around for at least a week or two. Therefore, if the users of a given SNAPshot find it especially installable and "stable" (I.E. it doesn't fall over right away), they should probably let me know so that I will know to copy it over to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD and, perhaps, also put it onto a SNAPshot CDROM (though no more often than every 3 months or so). I will, in fact, *rely* on user feedback for gauging this since there's really no other way to know with a SNAPshot given the very limited QA and testing which goes into one. :-) Anyway, have at it folks, and thanks again to ACC TelEnterprises & James FitzGibbon for making the resources available to do this!
