The only recourse you have is to appy manually any patches that come out (But this happens only with security advisories.) Otherwise, either you get everything or you get nothing. BTW this "I just want bugfixes but nothing new in case it breaks" argument has been beaten to death in this and other lists in the past, just look in the archives. Not to flame here, but I know of *no* computer software where you just get fixes but no new bugs get introduced, ever. The only possibility to stay static and free of new bugs is to, uhm, not upgrade. > Is tag=RELENG_4_1_1_RELEASE exactly 4.1.1-RELEASE or does it also contain > some additional bug fixes? It is just 4.1.1-RELEASE just as you have found it on the ftp site. -RELEASE is just a point in time, not a branch of development. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
