Hello Jonathan, Monday, February 26, 2001, 11:54:03 PM, you wrote: JS> Sorry for sounding like a newbie, but whats the difference between FreeBSD -RELEASE & FreeBSD -STABLE?

Slivko -RELEASE is what is tagged on some date with RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE for example, and there is no changes in cvs tree to it, all changes go to -STABLE branch. That's why there is so-called code freeze period before each release, to see weather it stable enough to roll CD sets from it and so on. -STABLE is what is changes continuosly and has tag RELENG_4, in outher words, -STABLE is middle between two sequential releases. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. -- Best regards, Alexandr mailto:neve_ripe@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
