That may be your goal but I don't believe that you can or should say that it is everyone's goal. In a few specific cases there have been useful updates to new versions (apache, samba, PHP, IMP), but I haven't noticed anyone concerned that, say, SME5 has fileutils 4.0x-3 whereas RedHat 7.2 has 4.1-4. From our point of view, "keeping everything current" means having a constantly moving target, and either much more testing, or more risk of instability. We want neither of those. > It would have been preferred for Mitel to simply issue a revised iso, > maybe even a monthly iso, but this did not happen.

Unfortunately we are not seeing this happen. No, the statement is accurate, and you are seeing it happen. You are building things, and Mitel incorporates some of them.

I'm sure that some people would be very happy if you made your custom ISOs available. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
