In terms of CVS revision is a version of a certain file within the repository, and rarely has anything to do with versions of the product. Tags are used for this to indicate which revisions each file constitute some version of the product (release, snap or just any point in time during development). FreeBSD developers tag each release with RELENG_4_RELEASE_4_0 and so on. Sticky tags are used for branching (e.g. RELENG_3, RELENG_4). 'uname -a' will tell you about your system, which is, I guess, what you really need. -- Sincerely etc. Valery Zamarayev http://www.sea.com.ua To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
