I am now setting up a 4.5 RELEASE server and try to update the source of this branch with CVSup (Just for security updates only and NOT update to STABLE). However I am confused as to which CVS tag to use. My question is: > > 1. What is the difference between RELENG_4_5 and RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE ? Which one should I use? I know the RELENG_4_5 is the security update only branch. I assume that RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE is 4.5-RELEASE without any updates. Thus if you want security updates, RELENG_4_5 is the one to use. > 2. Are there any other way to do this? I am not too comfortable with this un-updated machine to connect to the net and download source. Could I use another machine and download the source and then transfer data by a CD ? If so, how (or point me to the right doc please) ? I'm sure this is possible. I seem to recall something in the handbook about doing updates on one machine and then using NFS and updating all machines in your environment. Maybe someone else will have more specifics.
