First off.... Yes, I know 9.1-RELEASE is deprecated. I want to run something newer, but circumstances require I can't for now.
Traditionally in FreeBSD -STABLE (as in 9-STABLE) referred to the APIs as being stable, i.e., stuff compiled within the same major release would generally run on versions within that release... or so I recall. I have an instance where I have a need to run 9.1-RELEASE, but my package building infrastructure is all centered around 9.3-RELEASE or later. Based on my (possibly incorrect) understanding of How Things Are[tm], I think packages built for 9.3-RELEASE will generally run on 9.1-RELEASE. Does this sound generally correct, or am I totally off base here? Any major pitfalls I should know of? -- Alan Amesbury University Information Security http://umn.edu/lookup/amesbury _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
