The short answer is that you want the "releng/x.x" branch. The long answer is that the "release/x.x" branch in the SVN repo is the snapshot from which the x.x-RELEASE installation images are built. It is the point in development at which FreeBSD x.x is "born" and actually released. From there, the x.x Subversion repo branches off into "releng/x.x," where security and bug-fix patches are applied. Checking the source out from release/10.1 and building would give you a system identical to clean install of 10.1 (excepting any configurations you have in place). releng/10.1 will give you 10.1 with all the latest security and bug fixes. And so it is with all -RELEASEs. -- :: Brandon Wandersee :: brandonbwa@bestmark.com :: Quality Assurance Editor :: BestMark, Inc. :: -------------------------------------------------- :: 'The best design is as little design as possible.' :: --- Dieter Rams ----------------------------------
