I used the following tag in my CVSup supfile: tag=RELENG_4 I thought this was the tag for the line of development for FreeBSD-4.X, also known as FreeBSD-STABLE, as indicated in the FreeBSD Handbook. However, after making world, uname -a returns pipe# uname -a FreeBSD pipe.cs.vt.edu 4.3-BETA FreeBSD 4.3-BETA #0: Thu Mar 15 14:01:01 EST 2001 root@pipe.cs.vt.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PIPE i386 Why does uname -a indicate that I am running a beta system? Did I not follow the process to upgrade to a stable system correctly? What is a BETA system? Is it similiar to CURRENT? Thank you.
