When I CVSup the > source for 4.0, does it take it from 4.0-RELEASE ? There is a 4.0-STABLE. It is more up to date then 4.0-RELEASE. In general a RELEASE is just a snapshot of the -STABLE branch. Thus 4.0-RELEASE is a snapshot of the 4-STABLE branch at a particular time. When you cvsup the source you can either get the sources for 4.0-RELEASE (tag = RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE) or for 4.0-STABLE (tag = RELENG_4), which you get depends on your configuration file.
