RELENG_9 (cvs) = stable/9 (svn) = 9.N-STABLE (newvers.sh, `uname -r`) RELENG_9_0 (cvs) = releng/9.0 (svn) = 9.0-RELEASE (newvers.sh, uname) In short, if you want to use the 9.0-RELEASE (when it finally gets ready), then you need to switch to RELENG_9_0. If you prefer using -STABLE for your systems, then you're OK with RELENG_9. In case you don't know or are not quite sure about the differences between -RELEASE and -STABLE, I'd recommend switching to RELENG_9_0. > Again, I can't find that file (needle in the haystack) in /usr/src tree that shows version number such as RC2. This has already been answered, but just a quick note. If you've recently updated your sources using the RELENG_9 tag, you'll most likely see the version in newvers.sh as: REVISION="9.0" BRANCH="PRERELEASE" If you switch to RELENG_9_0 and update your sources again, you should see the familiar: REVISION="9.0" BRANCH="RC2" HTH, Luchesar -- i.dea.is/luchesar
