The recent addition of the stable branch has caused the FreeBSD team to restructure the collections of software made availible via SUP. The SUP targets currently used to access the src tree (both the stable and current branchs) will be replaced with a single collection offering two releases. As an example: OLD NEW --- --- bin release=current -> src-bin release=current stable-bin release=current -> src-bin release=stable As you can see above, instead of using the built in "release" feature of SUP, we had unnecessary collections that made SUP maintenance more difficult. The new scheme will allow greater flexibility in the future when a wider variety of releases may be made availible from the same sup collection. To aid in the transition from the old collections to the new, sample supfiles and an upgrade script have been made availible at the following locations: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/sup ftp://freefall.FreeBSD.org/pub/sup and soon, any of our many mirrors. The files of interest are src.supfile.stable, src.supfile.current, and upgrade.collections. __ Justin T.
