See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html to quote: RELENG_4 The line of development for FreeBSD-4.X, also known as FreeBSD-STABLE. RELENG_4_9 The release branch for FreeBSD-4.9, used only for security advisories and other critical fixes. > I think I have a rather good grasp of the topic, but there is a little > confusion on my part.
