FreeBSD releases are from CVS/SVN branches, rather than the main trunk. Thus, before 9.0 can be released, the 9.x branch (RELENG_9) must be created. Once the 9.x branch has been created, the main trunk needs to be renamed to distinguish it - hence 10-CURRENT. And note that 9.0 isn't STABLE, it is BETA3, on it's way to 9.0-RELEASE. Once 9.0-RELEASE has been released (or, possibly, shortly before), the 9.x branch will become STABLE. See http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/schedule.html for more details (though the dates are wrong). --=20 Peter Jeremy --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk6Hh+gACgkQ/opHv/APuIeefwCfZytmVRCgV5ReNOKsdlBPL8R2 n6YAnA+Z9yhtlDTl0NTg0H5FuujGlsWc =7ElZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq--
