I've sup'd the entire stable tree as > of last night even. You sure it doesn't say something like: FreeBSD SkyRsh.aac.dev.com 2.1-STABLE FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE #0: Sun Aug 11 12:46:13 PDT 1996 root@SkyRsh.aac.dev.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/SKYRSH i386 Note, 2.1-STABLE, not 2.1-RELEASE. Also, Jordan, FYI, 3 or 4 of my clients have also sent me notices saying ``I though you said these would be loaded with 2.1.5 + fixes, why does it say 2.1''. I think there is enough confusion out there that the strings should be changed to this: TYPE="FreeBSD" REVISION="2.1.5" BRANCH="STABLE" It's still the ``STABLE'' branch, but PAST the 2.1.5 release tag... ``STABLE'' == the cvs RELENG_2_1_0 tag, so I don't want to here the cvs tag confustion again please... Just me $0.10 worth... -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
