Went throught the normal update procedure and when it was done it says that I am running FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0. I'm using the RELENG_6 tag, and it was to my understanding that this only followed 6-stable. Is a prerelease considered stable, or am I doing something wrong?

Re: FreeBSD 6.X Updating Source
The difference between RELENG_6 and RELENG_6_[0-1] is one is a development branch which releases are based off and RELENG_6_0 is the stable version of the released code which only gets security fixes commited to it. As bother are considred stable code compared to current STABLE sometimes breaks due to new features so i recomend you cvsup RELENG_6_0 then when 6.1-REL comes out cvsup RELENG_6_1 Regards, Chris On 2/22/06, Cody Holland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: . . . running FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0. . . .
