That makes perfect sense David... I've got two machines here
(FreeBSD, and NetBSD) that I can use for some testing...
they're _not_ production, but more exposure (esp. on diff't
OSs) can't hurt). If we get a list of issues that are being
addressed/updated, we can know where to test specifically,
and see how that all goes.

Running a few Bric-1.10.3rc[x] release candidates around the
community for a while should shake out bugs, and after we're
satisfied, call it golden and let it into the wild 

We may also have access to FreeBSD on AMD64 as well... not
sure of the status.

Anyway -- I think there're enough resources
(hardware/software/people/data) to do some honest testing.
We'd be remiss if we didn't test in any case, but at this
point in time, it might be really painless, so we've got no
excuses.

I always upgraded the Kineticode and Bricolage installs, and
that was  
usually enough to shake out stuff in minor upgrades like
this.  
Someone with access to the Bricolage server can go ahead and
upgrade  
the Bricolage instance there, too.

Processor shouldn't matter.

Thanks for this, everyone. It will be a big help.

Best,

David

Wow, great. Release candidates is a good idea.
I'll shoot for this weekend...
