If you are asking why they don't use a different tag for each point release, then I think the answer is that it would require you to know precisely what the latest release is and edit the cvsup file each time. With RELENG_6_0 you get the latest point release automatically. Incidently in 6.0.x, x is not the point release number, it's a number that's only rarely used. The 5.2 release had some substantial fixes, and the FreeBSD version was bumped up to 5.2.1, though the tag was still RELENG_5_2. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
