Here are some quick descriptions of the NetBSD mailing lists:

(clicking on the mailing-list name will take you to the archive of the mailing list on ftp.iastate.edu. The info file in each directory will list each file, and the last date it covers)

• current:

  This list exists to inform people of changes to the NetBSD-current tree that will affect them. Everyone running NetBSD-current is encouraged to subscribe and listen. Don't send mail to here, this list is writeable only by people modifying the -current source tree.

• current-users:

  This is a forum for all people using an up-to-date version of the NetBSD-current source tree. It is a good forum for talking about ``gotchas'' in the tree. Since the -current tree is a quickly moving target, please confirm any problems with the latest tree before posting.

  Mailing list for people actively developing or interested in the development of ports of NetBSD to machines with m68k-family CPUs.
