In my ports supfile I use:
*default release=cvs tag=. 

& in my source supfile:
*default tag=RELENG_4_5

I'm obviously missing something with my understanding of the ports system.
I thought that following -STABLE or -RELEASE only selected the src tree to
follow.  Is this explained in the handbook or elsewhere?.

thanks
Jeff
