For the record: FreeBSD comes in three different versions: x.y-RELEASE (tagged as RELEASE_x_y) x.y-STABLE (tagged as RELENG_3) (x+1)-CURRENT (tagged as HEAD) RELEASE is the version as it comes off the CD. Releases we have had so far are 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2, and 3.3 is coming on the 15th of september. When mistakes are detected in the RELEASES these are corrected in the STABLE version. The STABLE version is a sliding version as it is the name for the most recent version since RELEASE. You can fetch it through using CVSUP or ftp (see handbook). RELEASE is simply a STABLE version at a certain timestamp (so Jordan can have his fun, annoy everybody by blocking access to the repo and act like he is in charge of everything, and then try and prove it and give away CD's for free at conferences :-) And then there is CURRENT. Don't use it, unless you know what you are doing and are willing to spend the odd half hour once in a while to fix someones else mistakes in trying something new. To answer your question: It will be in stable. If someone says he has committed the change to STABLE you should be able to update your sources using cvsup a day later and have an updated version, solving your problem.
