No.7.0-release is the final snapshot of 7.0.Current is for developers and stable is a more cleaned up version of current. Current is the bleeding edge. Stable is sort of like a beta and release is the final, cleaned up and built and tested release. The confusing thing is there can be more than one branch being worked on. At the moment there is 7.xxx and 8.xxx. There can be stable and release for each.The head is where current is made which is 8.xxx now. If something is built in to current that is wanted more immediately, it gets merged in to the less bleeding edge tracks. The process for that is called 'Merge From Current' usually called MFC - as in 'that feature (or fix) was MFCed this morning'. jerry > > TFC > > On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 1:08 PM, Matthew Seaman > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Tsu-Fan Cheng wrote: > > > > > sorry, I just read some articles in the mailing list, it's RELENG_7 > > > for stable, 7_0 is for current. > > > > > > > > > > Nope. > > > > RELENG_7_0 is for 7.0-RELEASE > > > > RELENG_7 is for 7.0-STABLE (at the moment) > > > > . is for 8-CURRENT > > > > Cheers, > > > > Matthew > > > > -- > > Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard > > Flat 3 > > PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate > > Kent, CT11 9PW > > > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: freebsd 7 stable, which tag??
so in a sense, 7.0-release is for developers, and 7.0-stable for end users, right?

That would be exactly backwards.The fewer parts, the closer to the bleeding edge.CURRENT is more bleeding edge than STABLE. Probably you will want RELENG_7 if you want to pick up any changes since RELEASE. I think with RELENG_7_0 you only get security and critical error fixes. jerry > > On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 12:45 PM, Tsu-Fan Cheng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I just update to 7.0 using csup, I have a question about how to > > write the tag in src supfile. should I use RELENG_7 or RELENG_7_0? any > > difference?? thank you!! > > > > TFC > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
