Subject: Re: [9fans] lp doesn't work after upgrade from downloaded cd image
Date: Tue,  8 Oct 2002 08:57:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <873effd1d00b7c96118f5dd2fcd165e4@centurytel.net> (raw)

I think a weekly or monthly image would be sufficient; I have found
replica to be very efficient in getting updates, even large upgrades
(like the last one).

With a growing user base and big enough volunteer QA effort, it would
be possible to coordinate a collective test of the weekly releases,
for example, and then pick the best in a three-six month period as the
official release, especially for people that want it for operational use.

BTW, a question for the people that use the system for operational
use: how often do you update/upgrade?  (by operational I also would
include stable teaching/research environments)
