CVSup question, which tag for 4.9-RELEASE?
I am running a few boxes(n) on 4.9-RELEASE and am wondering about updating the ports and source. Using CVSup, should I tag src with RELENG_4, or RELENG_4_9? And what if any are the differences, that are not already noted in the handbook? Up to this point, I have not updated the system since install I think I have a rather good grasp of the topic, but there is a little confusion on my part. I am thinking if I read correctly, using RELENG_4 will update to the latest in the 4.x branch and I'll be at 4.9-Current, no? And RELENG_4_9 will be only updates to the 4.9 branch?

Up to this point, I have not updated the system since install See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html to quote: RELENG_4 The line of development for FreeBSD-4.X, also known as FreeBSD-STABLE. RELENG_4_9 The release branch for FreeBSD-4.9, used only for security advisories and other critical fixes. I think I have a rather good grasp of the topic, but there is a little confusion on my part. I am thinking if I read correctly, using RELENG_4 will update to the latest in the 4.x branch and I'll be at 4.9-Current, no? And RELENG_4_9 will be only updates to the 4.9 branch?

Selon Bob Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am running a few boxes(n) on 4.9-RELEASE and am wondering about updating the ports and source. Using CVSup, should I tag src with RELENG_4, or RELENG_4_9? And what if any are the differences, that are not already noted in the handbook? Up to this point, I have not updated the system since install For your system, use RELENG_4_9; tag=RELENG_4_9; this will keep you up to date with the security fixes. For the ports, always use CURRENT; tag=. I think I have a rather good grasp of the topic, but there is a little confusion on my part. I am thinking if I read correctly, using RELENG_4 will update to the latest in the 4.x branch and I'll be at 4.9-Current, no? And RELENG_4_9 will be only updates to the 4.9 branch? RELENG_4 will update you to 4-STABLE (the future 4.10 if there's one).

RELENG_4 will update to 4-STABLE, which means it includes whatever updates have been made to -STABLE since the 4.9-RELEASE snapshot (4.x-RELEASE being a snapshot of 4-STABLE). And RELENG_4_9 will be only updates to the 4.9 branch? 4.9 isn't a branch itself, it's a snapshot of the -STABLE branch. RELENG_4_9 contains only critical updates from the 4.9-RELEASE snapshot, primarily if not exclusively security updates.
