I wasn't 100% sure which release he was referring to since he didn't say, and I probably didn't phrase my original question as clearly as I could have. But I asked another question about future plans and got a reply that pretty much answers that one: Clint Adams wrote: > Sent: Thursday, 1 March 2007 3:16 p.m. > To: Lesley Walker > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Pkg-db-devel] Db4.2 patch query > > > Thanks for the quick answer! > > > > Are you planning to incorporate the later ones at some stage? > > As far as I am aware, there are no firm plans either way.

I replied that if I could pin down any specific problems I would file bug a report, but it probably makes more sense to move forward to 4.4. -- Lesley Walker Linux Systems Administrator Opus International Consultants Ltd Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel +64 4 471 7002, Fax +64 4 473 3017 http://www.opus.co.nz Level 9 Majestic Centre, 100 Willis Street, PO Box 12 343 Wellington, New Zealand
