The branch is just 3-STABLE really, with the CVS tag "RELENG_3", and its version number just happens to be 3.4 at the moment. If you don't want to use 3.5-RC, just don't cvsup once it comes out. Resume your cvsupping after 3.5 is released to get 3.5-STABLE if you want. Why don't you want to use 3.5-RC though? IME, -RC is no worse than -STABLE; it just has a different name (if anything, it should be better than the -STABLE before it in the same way that -STABLE is better than the previous -STABLE, etc). My two servers at home have been up for 58 days on 3.4-RC, only brought down then by a brief power cut, so I don't think it's all that bad. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
