What is the recommended frequency of cvsuping the source tree to stay stable with freebsd? 2. Right now I am at 4.2 Stable (from 4.0R). When freebsd reaches, say 5.1 Stable, what steps need I take to stay stable with the latest (5.1) stable? Can I just keep cvsuping and hope to be stable with the latest version? I understand that one can stay stable with 3-Stable or 4-Stable without having upgrade to the next higher version. (please correct me if I am wrong). Also if this also the wrong "attitude" let me know :-) Thanks, --Kartic To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
