Hello,

I have been follow the discussion about RELEASE, STABLE, CURRENT and
security patches for a particular release.

Resuming: RELEASE and STABLE are develoment branches.

In the handbook related to STABLE: «but we do occasionally make
mistakes», so the best whay to stay really STABLE is do something like:

cvsup to the last release RELENG_4_3_0_RELEASE and then cvsup all the
times to RELENG_4_3 to receive security and critical fixes only.

Am I right?

When the RELEASE 4.4(?) is out, then I should repeat the example above to:

RELENG_4_4_0_RELEASE
and then stay in
RELENG_4_4

Am I right?

For what I read in this mailing list related to the naming version, is
that the name STABLE make confusion some times (like in this particular
case).


Thanks very much,
