If this is in fact true, then something needs to change so that uname -r agrees: > $ svn info | grep URL ; uname -r URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/8 8.2-STABLE As far as the OS is concerned, 8.2-STABLE is RELENG_8 sometime between when RELENG_8_2 was branched and when RELENG_8_3 will be branched, and is an entirely legit description. IMO, just because it does not correspond to a specific branch or tag does not leave it without meaning. Cheers Tom
