Re: Why RELENG_9 branch is labeled as PRERELEASE and freebsd.org says FreeBSD is currently at 9.1-RC2 ?

Yuri http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1/sys/conf/newvers.sh?view=log Go back to Revision 227495, read log text, click View and scroll down to see TYPE=FreeBSD 34 REVISION=9.0 BRANCH=PRERELEASE Then back off and move the log up by repeating as above.

Is PRERELEASE considered more stable than RC? This looks strange to me. This is because of the release process. At some point (beta) the stable branch (RELENG_9 here) is named -PRERELEASE. After (for release candidate) a new branch (RELENG_9_1) is created and named 9.1-XXX. This branch will be the 9.1 release and changes should be only bug fixes. RELENG_9 continues its own way. So yes, RELENG_9 should be named 9-STABLE. That will be fixed after the release. I guess nobody takes the time to change the name or they are too busy with the release of 9.1.

RELENG_9 is supposed to represent the latest branch of 9.1. De facto, code says it is PRERELEASE (sys/conf/newvers.sh). But freebsd.org on its front page says 9.1 is at RC-2. So how can I get RC-2 through cvsup except through RELENG_9 which gives PRERELEASE ?
