RELENG_6 (aka 6.2 stable) is the *development* branch for any FreeBSD 6.x=20 releases. As we are closing in on 6.3 this branch obviously serves as=20 the base for 6.3 pre-releases. You have a choice to either use the 6.2 security fix branch (RELENG_6_2)=20 or the "stable" branch (RELENG_6) - which really is not recommended for=20 production systems. If you really want to go back (not sure why you=20 would want to, though) you should be able to cvsup RELENG_6_2 and do a=20 src upgrade (or downgrade in this case). This, however, might leave you=20 with some leftover files that were added to RELENG_6. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart1514973.t7Y0LNnzRH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHNKmkXyyEoT62BG0RAj1jAJ9FsJlLM/PTR7WTxDXonTi0W6gf0QCdFC6/ u3dZSfgK/mPdZy2ecEwu5A0= =hZi0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1514973.t7Y0LNnzRH--
