Not sure, however if I want/need: RELENG_4_9 The release branch for FreeBSD-4.9, used only for security advisories and other critical fixes. or, RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE FreeBSD 4.9 I understand that the Release tag references FreeBSD version at a given point in time, but is there a problem selecting RELENG_4_9, "...used only for security advisories and other critical fixes." Thanks Bob Perry -- FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p13 0#
