I'll take that as a 'no', and we can go ahead and start Phase 1. We are not currently freezing the CVS tree. Maintainers should audit their packages in 10.4 and check for items that are identical in 10.4/stable and 10.4/unstable. Maintainers should also check concerning packages that are identical (or at least close) in 10.7/stable and 10.4/unstable. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6KKYYACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ8pawCeOhOTFih0oAZ3EpI082L21YV0 qmMAn2PJlxgHw3Gj8Cb2hfh73UvlFAFc =nvjF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
