And that supfile gets you RELENG_4 which is 4.7-stable. If you want 4.7-release you should use RELENG_4_7_0_RELEASE, or, preferrably, RELENG_4_7 (which will get you 4.7-RELEASE + security fixes.) > > I thought that the -RELEASE system is made from the -STABLE cvs > branch so that this is in effect the same. Is this wrong? It is wrong. The releases are indeed normally made from the -stable branch, but once the release has been made, new things will be added to -stable in preparation for the next release. This means that a release is essentially a snapshot of -stable from some particular time. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
