bart - you can likely deduce some answers from: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/schedule.html 4.7-PRERELEASE is a tag marking what the 4.7 release will be all about. then, 4.7-RC, 4.7-RC2, 4.7-RC3 (RC = release candidate) are snapshots that grow closer and closer to what the RE team feels comfortable calling 4.7-RELEASE. so, as you track RELENG_4, you will obtain each tag point sequentially. if you cvsup your sources every day, you will know when RC2 is available because "uname -a" will show 4.7-RC2. -Adam >> (10.06.2002 @ 0134 PST): Bart Smit said, in 0.5K: << > > Hello, > > I'm following the RELENG_4 branch and as far as I can tell I'm using the > very latest from that branch.
