Hi all,

I am preparing to upgrade all servers from FBSD 6.2 to 6.3 in preperation 
for 6.4, and some day 7.x

One thing I have always found a little confusing is what tag to specify in 
the supfile.

If a machine is running 6.2, and I want to upgrade to the latest production 
release, would I use:

RELENG_6_3 ?

Also, What do you all think about jumping from 6.4 straight to 7.1 when its 
released (cvsup method)?

All flames, sarcastic comments, snipes and quips welcome. Anything usefull 
comments also appreciated!

-Grant

P.S. I have read the Handbook over and over, but maybe I am still missing 
something.
