I made a stab at answering this, but Bruce made some comments that made me really rethink the whole thing. (That's what a mentor is for, I suppose. :-) We have our new "security patched" branches, i.e., 4.4. What are they called? We can "track -stable", "track -current", i.e. I've heard this as "tracking -release", "the -patched" branch, etc. Do we have an official name, or should we knock at re@freebsd.org for appropriate terminology? ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
