Afterwards, I noticed I was running 4.4-RC instead of 4.3-STABLE (or 4.3-RELEASE). I decided to change my tag in my supfile to RELENG_4_3 and start over. Sources all transferred fine, but now when I do a 'make buildworld', I get this error... Quite aside from the actual problem, 4.4-RC *is* 4.3-STABLE, or rather, 4.4-RC is 4.x-STABLE, which has already passed the time it was called 4.3-STABLE. 4.4-RC (RELENG_4) is really what you need if you want to run -stable. The 4.3 security branch (RELENG_4_3) is something very close to 4.3-RELEASE; the only differences are a couple (or 17) of security patches. This branch does not get any of the new features introduced in -stable after the release of 4.3, it is meant to provide maximum backwards compatibility and ease of installation and maintenance for those who would rather stick with a -release rather than track -stable. G'luck, Peter -- If this sentence were in Chinese, it would say something else. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
