This is, if 8.3 would exist, you would now have 8.3-STABLE. If you just want security patches for 8.2 and not go to 8.3 if it comes out, you have to define tag=RELENG_8_2 This is not the same as tag=HEAD. tag=HEAD gives you CURRENT, which is 9.0-RC1 i believe. Do not confuse these. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvsup.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html
