I've been following Richard Bejtlich's excellent howto for keeping FreeBSD boxes up to date: http://www.taosecurity.com/keeping_freebsd_up-to-date.html The instructions say to create a supfile with a line like this: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1 and if you want to upgrade to the next version, to use this instead: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_2_0_RELEASE My question: Is it OK to skip the "_RELEASE" part and instead use the following: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_2 Many thanks /wsbs
