Is there a database of what each of >these means? 4.4-RELEASEp1 would be the 1st commit to RELENG_4_4 (aka the security branch) after RELENG_4_4_0_RELEASE (4.4-RELEASE). 4.3-RELEASEp21 would be the 21st commit to the RELENG_4_3 branch, after 4.3-RELEASE. They are usually all documented in /usr/src/UPDATING, assuming you actually track RELENG_4_X. Folks running -RELEASE, -CURRENT and -STABLE may see a different /usr/src/UPDATING, obviously. I hope that's what you were looking for? >-- >Crist J.
