There's no such thing. You're trying to apply Linux terminology to FreeBSD. We don't "patch", we update. A RELEASE is just that, a release, and so it stays the way it is. In the meantime, fixes get applied to the STABLE branch in the CVS tree. This is all described in the handbook. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
