Is there any paticular pressing need to use -STABLE versus -RELEASE? I followed the book last weekend and tried to upgrade from 4.0-STABLE to 4.0-RELEASE, and it cvsup'ed and built just fine. It would not install however. There were several errors in creating links, trying to install non-existant files, etc. After about an hour trying get get it installed, I gave up. At that time I figured it good enough to stick with -RELEASE. But now I'm wondering if this is the proper attitude. So how important is -STABLE?
