The RELENG_4 branch *does* have BASE=4.3 in release/Makefile, and, yes, that probably should be 4.4. I guess the reason why it isn't is simply because nobody remembered to update it. That variable doesn't seem to affect the output of uname anyway. My reading is that that variable is only used when doing a 'make release' and then only if you do not specify the release name manually. So it doesn't appear to be anything to worry much about. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
