I was looking at the FreeBSD pages, and they seem to have 3 different
system. A 'stable', that seems to be more or less what our stable is.
A 'release', which is what bo-updates is supposed to be, and what our
stable used to be, and an 'unstable' (I'm not sure about the exact term)
that is constantly changing, like ours.
I think this is a pretty good model, and something we should try and
emulate if possible. As it is now, we are starting to see some troubles
caused by the long delay between releases - lots of new packages aren't
going to be available for those who choose to stay with stable for a
while, and even security updates seem to take a while to get included. I
would like to see a more complete 'current' distribution that is more
liberal in its updates of 'leaf' packages.
Perhaps the various autobuilding systems would be a way to accomplish
this?
