just updated my RELENG_6 as Tue May  2 08:25:55 CEST 2006

There are some things that are not clear about the version:

- uname says FreeBSD 6.1-RC #0
- on the FreeBSD FTP site the RC directory is now RC2
(pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.1-RC2)
- on the FreeBSD web site the schedule for 6.1 says that actually
6.1-RC1 has been released

How do I know which RC I'm currently running?

You can sync your /usr/src with the time of RC2's release by extracting and build that specific version from CVS, but you'll want to track subsequent patches as well, right?

RELENG_6 just builds with a -RC tag for now due to the version bump. It will revert to -STABLE once the -RELEASE is out, but built and installed from source you don't get the -RELEASE or -RC<number> tag unless you actually build a release (a la: cd /usr/src/release; make release BUILDNAME=? RELEASE=? CVSROOT=?), specify that as a tag and then do a binary upgrade.
