Both the Linux kernel and Postfix follow the same trend. Both have been on major revision 2 for---ever now. Considering the way the versioning is done on both Linux and Postfix, there will never be a 3.x release of either, as the core architecture will never undergo another major change. For either to do so would require a redefinition of "major" change. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
