FreeBSD 4.9 Stability Update

Posted by michael on Friday September 19, 2003 @04:27AM from the solid-as-a-rock dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD Release Engineering Team's Scott Long would like to get a new poll on the stability and readiness of 4.9. The belief is that the last of the PAE-induced instability was resolved on August 31. Is anyone still experiencing unusual crashes, corruption, etc, on a system that is running with up-to-date sources? Now is the time to speak up and get the problems resolved. Scott is also requesting help with testing. In response to this, we are adding our own poll. Please vote and add comments as appropriate to help Scott."

MySQL's slogan. "Release early, release often". I'm not kidding.

I felt some instability in STABLE so I switched to CURRENT. 5.2 is coming down the pipe, so I figured the "we thought we nipped this but it turns out we didn't" warning in the updating file was enough to prod me over to CURRENT.

Maybe this is their secret way of getting more users to test out CURRENT?
