Hi,
Just out of curiosity, why did I fail to notice the branching of
RELENG_7 and 8-CURRENT? I'm subscribed to -stable, -current and
-announce.
Because it's an administrative change that is just a normal part of the
release engineering process. i.e. 7.0 is not released etc.
And RELENG_7 is not considered the 'stable' branch yet, but 8-CURRENT is
just forked for development of entirely new features? I.o.w. do we 2
current or 2 stable branches now?
Those are just names, don't worry too much about it. RELENG_7 will be
the start of a new -STABLE branch once it is released.
That is actually what I'm worried about. It means drivers are less likely to
be MFC'd to RELENG_6 from 7.0-RELEASE onwards - I was hoping that wouldn't
happen till 7.1.
It's called progress. This is normal. If you need a driver that is
happening in 7- only, then upgrade to 7. RELENG_6 will turn into a
"supported fix branch" or whatever the name is and RELENG_7 is where the
action takes place, just like it has been going on for quite some time
(please correct me if I'm wrong).
