What does the -p6 nomenclature represent in the above statement?
I've noticed some messages have contained various -pX's. I recently
just installed FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p0 (according to -uname command)
from a FreeBSD Mall 4-CD set, dated May 2006. Does this -p number
represent an updated ?Version? containing new patches or ...?
The 'p' is for patch level.
See any of the security advisories, for example:
http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:20.bind.asc
Patch releases are only made when there are security flaws found or
major stability problems fixed.
