Message-ID: <20011215131208.A39406@sheol.localdomain> Reply-To: hawkeyd@visi.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello All. The subject asks it all. Sorry if this is off-topic. One other Q, as long as I'm posting: For those releases that have both a RELENG_X_Y and a RELENG_X_Y_BP branch, what's the difference? AFAIK, the first is for bug fixes; what's the second for? Well, now one more: What are RELENG_X and RELENG_X_BP as they relate to RELENG_X_Y and RELENG_X_Y_BP? I'm rifling through CVS to see if the patchfiles I'm offering on the FreeBSD Backports site are applicable to many releases (some are, I've discovered), and I want to make sure I understand the meaning of these CVS branches. Thanks, Dave -- ______________________ ______________________ \__________________ \ D. J.
