Hi guys, Does anybody know if freebsd-update is going to be available for 6.1-RELEASE before the end of Colin's "summer of FreeBSD work"? I wouldn't like to bother Colin directly via e-mail, so if anyone already asked for this or something.... Thanx, regards -- Pietro Cerutti <pietro.cerutti@gmail.com>

There haven't been any updates yet so you are not missing anything. Colin said today that he need to start building 6.1 so freebsd-update does not complain, but he just hasn't gotten to it yet. -- Simon L.

The only reason it doesn't already work is that I was getting ready for my flight to BSDCan when the release happened. Colin Percival
