There is only a pointer to a stable-cvsupfile, inside of which it is not clear at all what you _have_ to do to track STABLE (and maybe other branches?). The stable-cvsupfile leads one to believe that there are choices, yet when wanting to track STABLE, there are not (that I can tell). It's src-all or nothing. >How-To-Repeat: Try to upgrade your 4.0-RELEASE machine's kernel to 4.0-STABLE by only CVS updating from src-sys. It doesn't work. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the messagehome | help
