-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Stable has more fixes in it than Release. Release means that it's release quality. They can safely box it and ship it out. Stable has the same base as the Release version but contains fixes and is okay to use on a production server (in theory). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html#AEN27319 For the refuse file, there are also some handy examples in /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup Hope that helps.
