Did I screw up with the RELENG tag? No -- that's expected. Once the RELENG_5_3 branch was created, the RELENG_5 branch would be relabeld as -STABLE. Note that these are just technical changes to the CVS repository and that all they do is presage the actual release/launch of those OS versions. ie. You might be seeing 5.3-STABLE in your uname(1) output, but it isn't official until the project announces it. If your eventual aim is to install 5.3-RELEASE, this would be a good time to change your supfile to track RELENG_5_3. Again -- that's just producing release candidates at the moment: the release isn't official until it's announced.
