If I were in that situation, and I had to have it by midnight, I would go with RELENG_4_8 (4.8 plus security patches). If I had two or three days to build and check out the system, I go for RELENG_4 (-stable), and then switch to RELENG_4_9 once that branch is available. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
