Randall) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Why was 2.1.5R pulled back and re-released? Date: 18 Jul 1996 08:25:27 -0500 Organization: Des Moines Area Community College Lines: 15 Message-ID: <4sle07$8iq@infoborg.dmacc.cc.ia.us> Reply-To: "Charles F. Randall" <crandall@dmacc.cc.ia.us> NNTP-Posting-Host: infoborg.dmacc.cc.ia.us A few days ago, there was a file named README.2.1.5 in /pub/FreeBSD on ftp.freebsd.org that stated something like (from memory), "The permissions on the 2.1.5 directory have been changed to 700 on purpose. A few bugs were found just after the release and we've decided to fix them quickly and re-release." It would appear that it has now been re-released. What were the reasons for doing this? -Randy -- Charles F. Randall E-mail: crandall@dmacc.cc.ia.us UNIX Systems Programmer Voice: (515) 965-7057 Perl Hacker - Powered by FreeBSD! FAX: (515) 965-7305
