Re: I upgraded from CVSup: did I get a -stable branch ?
If you installed 4.5 and want to stay that way use : *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_5 This way you stay at the release engenering stream!

Nobody's promising to support them, but many updates get put onto those branches anyway. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yes this is the -STABLE branch. It just happens that at the present moment 4.9-STABLE is a release candidate, which is why you see 4.9-RC. Once it's released then it will be 4.9-RELEASE and they'll increment -STABLE to 4.9.1 (or would it go to 4.10?). > 2)if I wanted, for example, 4.5 stable, or instead 4.3 stable, which > options should I put in the supfile ? Change the "default release" line in the sup file from: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 to: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_5 or: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_3 respectively. Those tags will also get any future security updates to either of those versions as well. > > Thank you very much. > Bruno You are quite welcome, chris __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

I upgraded from CVSup: did I get a -stable branch ?
Hi, just a question for a doubt I have:I updated the src tree via cvsup using the file included below.According to some BSD literature (not found in the handbook), by using the 'RELENG_4' tag in the supfile, I will get the source tree for the latest -STABLE branch, and that is what I wanted.I CVSuped,the I recompiled the source tree and the kernel,according to the FreeBSD Handbook instructions. All went OK.This is the output from the 'uname -a' command after the process: FreeBSD ciao.singles.it 4.9-RC FreeBSD 4.9-RC #0: Wed Oct 15 00:12:26 CEST 2003 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CURRENT_WINE i386 I have two questions: 1)looking at the output of 'uname', is this a STABLE version of FreeBSD (as I would expect) ? 2)if I wanted, for example, 4.5 stable, or instead 4.3 stable, which options should I put in the supfile ? Thank you very much.
