You got confused a bit. Here's a slightl better description of all three paths: http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/8/ This is the same as the tag RELENG_8 in CVS. It is the 'stable branch' and is receiving commits that are in all the branches of the 8.X series. http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.0/ This is the 'security branch' for release 8.0. The security-officer takes over this branch when our release engineer are done with the preparation of the 8.0-RELEASE. This is essentially the same as the RELENG_8_0 branch in CVS. http://svn.freebsd.org/base/release/8.0.0/ This is essentially a 'tag'. It is a copy of the stable/8 branch at the point where the 8.0-RELEASE was cut. This is the same as the RELENG_8_0_0_RELEASE tag in CVS. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
