Hi all,
I'm a bit confused about RELENG_4_6's UPDATING file and uname information:
20020814:
FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE.
20020813: p11
Bounds checking errors in accept(), getsockname(),
getpeername(), and a VESA ioctl() command were corrected.
<snip rest>
FreeBSD darkness.gwi 4.6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE #0: Tue Aug 27
08:42:03 EDT 2002 jamin@darkness.gwi:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DARKNESS
i386
Now, I was under the impression that RELENG_4_* branches were to contain
only bug fixes since RELEASE. However, 4.6.2 and 4.6.1, both of which have
showed up in RELENG_4_6, contain new features.
The question is, is RELENG_4_6 *really* getting us 4.6.2-RELEASE right
now, with all the new features as well as bug fixes? Or is it just named
incorrectly? If the latter, could the naming convention for this
situations be reverted back to 4.6-RELEASE-p## to prevent this type of
confusion?
Please enlighten me.
Thanks.
Jamin
