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, - -- Nuno Teixeira Dir.
