We have a FreeBSD 6.0 server that needs upgrading. This is a production server, and it needs to be stable. There is no posted date for 6.3-RELEASE, so we're looking for a good snapshot to install -- preferably a known good build from 6-STABLE or a build of the security branch of the tree. This would be for a 386-architecture machine. Recommendations? Also, when is 6.3-RELEASE (which will hopefully incorporate a bunch of MFCed improvements from CURRENT) likely to happen?
6.2-RELEASE is the latest stable branch. you should be able to upgrade your world to this release with little problems. going from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE should be trivial, and any gotcha's should be documented in /usr/src/UPDATE. the latest patch level of 6.2-RELEASE should include all security updates, and bug fixes (as should 6.0-RELEASE/6.1-RELEASE/etc. i do not think snapshot's have gone through the same amount of regression testing as official releases, so you may not want to use those in production environments. -p -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
