I've searched (for cvsup and relen) in the installation, hardware compatibility, troubleshooting, commercial applications, user applications, kernel configuration, system administration and misc. questions sections of the faq so far, and I haven't found an answer. And searching through my list archives gets me 'see the faq'! Bah. Why bother archiving the list then ? Looking at the handbook, I see the following : tag=RELENG_4 The line of development for FreeBSD-4.X, also known as FreeBSD-STABLE. If this is not the case, then handbook should be updated. Tell me who to submit the fix to, the format for the submission (sgml I assume), and what the correct answer is, and I'll do it. Now that I am done ranting, could anyone please tell me what the tag line should be to ensure that my servers stay on stable and don't accidentally get moved to a BETA or RC next time I am upgrading to fix something like ipf.
