Hope you've had fun on the bleeding edge. ;) Change the first *default tag=. line to read *default tag=RELENG_4 and you'll get 4.X-stable sources, where X is always the latest number out. Don't change the other tag, ports and doc need to get current versions as there are no other versions. IF you want 4.5-release and not -stable, make it RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE. -- Ray Kohler "There are two ways of disliking poetry; one way is to dislike it, the other is to read Pope." -- Oscar Wilde To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
