Yes, I was suggesting we use -r RELENG_5_2 in absence of -r RELENG_5 > If this is a problem, use CTM > to replicate the repository and do your own checkout. I did, as written in my initial post "cvs -R export -r RELENG_5_2 src" It had occured to me if I started doing that regularly, & other were too, that was a similar tracking scenario in response to which src-4 was created, so would be useful to have a src-5 even though yes it would be based on RELENG_5_2 & not RELENG_5. > > why can't we have a CTM 5 stable feed. > > Because 5-STABLE doesn't exist yet. Doesn't mean we couldn't export on RELENG_5_2, just not on RELENG_5, it would still allow some tracking up the 5.2 p8 p9 p10 kernel fixes etc. .. till "-r RELENG_5" comes available later. >From what you quoted http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/5.3R/schedule.html RELENG_5 branch creation 16 Aug 2004 That's today, so soon probably, if it doesn't slip a bit. So it looks like my idea came too late, might as well wait for RELENG_5 now. ( But rather than just forget the idea, it might be worth remembering the possibility for when 6.low_somethings come round later. ) - Julian Stacey.
