I have read the FreeBSD Handbook Chapter 20
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html
I understand what FreeBSD-Current is.
FreeBSD-Stable is a little fogy for me. Here is what I found and I
think.
quote "FreeBSD-STABLE is our development branch from which major
releases are made. Changes go into this branch at a different pace, and
with the general assumption that they have first gone into
FreeBSD-CURRENT for testing. This is still a development branch,
however, and this means that at any given time, the sources for
FreeBSD-STABLE may or may not be suitable for any particular purpose. It
is simply another engineering development track, not a resource for
end-users."
So "Stable" is not really "Stable" it is still a branch for development
and security fixes that go into "Point Releases". Which means "Point
Releases" are the real true "Stable" area. Right?
So when I need a security update I should CVSup the tag line should be
RELENG_6_0 for the real stable version, also includes bug and security
fixes.
RELENG_6 for the "Stable" but development line. (which i should not use)
Am I Correct?
