Matthew Thank you for the last bit of info. Yes what I wanted is available at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/UPDATING but the missing key was that one has to scroll to the bottom of the UPDATING file to find the selection options. This must be an programming error by who ever coded that web page. The selections options should be at the top of the screen display not at the bottom where most people will never find it. Thanks again to all that replied to my question Joe -----Original Message----- From: Scott Mitchell [mailto:scott.mitchell@mail.com] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 4:31 PM To: JoeB Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG; Matthew Seaman Subject: Re: /usr/src/UPDATING On Mon, Jan 13, 2003 at 08:22:41PM +0000, Matthew Seaman wrote: > On Mon, Jan 13, 2003 at 01:00:20PM -0500, JoeB wrote: > > Thanks this is what I was looking for, But after viewing > > the URL you posted I see info for all the releases of FBSD. > > I thought the /usr/src/UPDATING file that was on the > > install CD for FBSD 4.7 only contained the detail info > > on the updates to create FBSD 4.7 since the FBSD 4.6 release > > was frozen? > > The UPDATING file dates back to before 4.0-RELEASE, and contains notes > of various modifications to the source that may cause problems to > people updating their systems, as well as various other notes useful > in that situation. > > Did you perhaps mean the release notes: > http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/relnotes-i386.html which list the > changes made to the system since the previous release? > > Cheers, > > Matthew Or, if you just wanted the version of UPDATING that was on the 4.7 CDs, scroll to the bottom of http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/UPDATING, select 'RELENG_4_7' in the 'View only Branch' box and hit the 'Set' button. I assume that the CDs would have been cut using the RELENG_4_7_0_RELEASE tag, so the version you want is probably the last one on the page, 1.73.2.74. I suspect Matthew is right and you were really looking for the release notes, though.
