To have the 9.1-RC1 source code, use the stable-supfile in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ and build world and kernel using that source tree. That will give you a 9.1-RC1 system. So that would be a RELENG_9 tag if you look in that stable-supfile. Then, when 9.1-RELEASE is officially released, you'd use the standard-supfile which uses a RELENG_9_1 tag if you wanted to stay with the -RELEASE brach. Or you could just continue to track stable branch and keep the RELENG_9 tag. That's what I am doing currently although I intend on tracking stable branch anyway, i.e. after 9.1-RELEASE has been made available. Jamie.
