From 8015f45cdf7499124d2c62578ce4079a7ba4bf19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Warner Losh Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:04:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Note change in the supported upgrade path. Prior to this 5.3-release and newer were supported upgrade paths to -current. After today's commits, 6.0-RELEASE and newer is supported for jumping to current. Make that clear in the UPDATING entry. For the pedants out there, upgrading from FreeBSD_version 600029 and newer should still work. This represents a point from May 29, 2005 forward. The prior date was October 16th 2004. --- UPDATING | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/UPDATING b/UPDATING index 6bdbf16f4e6..0980a889972 100644 --- a/UPDATING +++ b/UPDATING @@ -21,6 +21,14 @@ NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 8.x IS SLOW: developers choose to disable these features on build machines to maximize performance. +20080121: + To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running + FreeBSD after the RELENG_6 branch point.
