However, users having these 23 rights may want to look at the database contents and update the local data files 24 with it. Hence, it is possible to configure the tool to connect to a database 25 which may be either local or on the releng server (<code><b>minsky</b></code>). 26 </p> 27 28 <h2>Milestones</h2> 29 <p> 30 These are the list of the version milestones. Each milestone is a date string 31 using the <b>yyyymmddHHMM</b> format.
