Hey all,
A quick question,
I have read on the FreeBSD website that security fixes are applies first
to -CURRENT, then to -STABLE (which to me seems like a misnomer -
compared to OpenBSD's -STABLE) a few days later.
Well, let's say that one is tracking a RELEASE branch. How long from
the fixes going does it take for them to go into the RELEASE branch?
Also, does the RELEASE branch get general (no security related) fixes
applied to it as well, or is this all done in -STABLE?
Thanks.
Evan
