There is a rather long thread in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archives, starting with http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=98630968715532 about the stability of soft updates. It ends with Grigory Orlov stating that softdep in 2.9 (June 2001) would be stable. Grigory added dirpref. I haven't heard anyone complain about softdep since then. Also, most of the googling I've done about soft updates points to the spring/summer of 2001 as being a busy time for FFS development. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
