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.


Ok this was my misunderstanding.

Tnx

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?

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 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.

Which RC?

2006-05-02 Thread Pietro Cerutti

Hi list,
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?

Wouldn't it be the case to speed up the syncing of the information
available on different parts of the FreeBSD Project space (see FTP vs.
web site)?

Thank you, regards
