The STABLE branch is available for the current release (v9) and the legacy release (v8); the upcoming release (v10) still doesn't have one. So if you want to follow 9-STABLE, you'll stay on v9 as long as you _don't_ switch to v10 after it has been released, this can be done by SVN or by using the src.txz distribution from the installation media or one of the FTP mirrors; after that point, you can follow 10-STABLE once it has been started. See entry 3.2.3. here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/subversion-primer.html You'll probably find this useful as well: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/svn.html NB: Following 9-STABLE will _not_ get you to 10-RELEASE and further! -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
