I've convinced myself that I know how to do it using cvsup, but I'd like to explore the finer control that I get through cvs itself. I checked out the tree w/ a -r RELENG_4_5, discovered a bug in Makefile.inc1, updated and picked up a *bunch* of updates, and just found that installworld is failing (Signal 12 in usr.bin/chpass, still looking into it). All of this makes me think that maybe I'm tracking -STABLE, not the 4.5 RELEASE. Checking /usr/src/Makefile (cvs status -f Makefile), the first existing tag is "RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE", which suggests that it's on the release branch, but I'm not convinced. Can someone enlighten me about tagging/branching in the source tree, and give me a pointer about maintaining a RELEASE tree via cvs? g.
