What you want is RELENG_5, which doesn't exist yet. It will be created when 5.x is considered to be the new -STABLE. Until then you can either follow -CURRENT (which is the "branch" leading up to the next 5.x release just as RELENG_4 is the branch leading up to the next 4.x release) or RELENG_5_2 (which is 5.2.1-RELEASE + important bugfixes) As for what the other tags are: RELENG_5_1 and RELENG_5_0 are as RELENG_5_2 except for 5.1-release and 5.0-release respectively - little reason to use them. The RELENG_5_x_BP tags are branches but static tags marking the place where the RELENG_5_x branch was created from HEAD. RELENG_5_x_y_RELEASE marks the code for 5.x.y-release, and also doesn't change. There is little reason to use either of those unless you for some reason want the exact code that went into a relase. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
