I don't think any which are particularly certified but -STABLE is a development branch, it's just a less aggressive development than -CURRENT. Basically if you want to avoid the pre-release and RC versions you need to stick with -RELEASE and security. Most people will track security which just has critical fixes and the most recent tag for that is RELENG_4_7 After -STABLE has done the RC stages you'll be able to use RELENG_4_8 Kevin -- kevin@caomhin.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
