If you've installed 5.1 as a working production server, then yes, you should track RELENG_5_1 with cvsup, rather than -CURRENT. As someone else wrote, the -STABLE branch is still 4.X, and 5.X is -CURRENT. I would not track either of those for a production server. The 5_1 track is the minimum amount of changes to fix major security or functional problems within 5.1. If 5.1 supports all the hardware you have, you should stick with RELEASE_5_1. It will forever be 5.1. It never progresses on its own to another version of FreeBSD. You will have to deliberately choose to upgrade to a newer version when one is available and you decide it makes sense to upgrade. There have been very few changes to RELENG_5_1. stu > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of tony > Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 3:53 PM > To: stable@freebsd.org > Subject: 5.1 release cvsuping > > > sorry to bother everyone but I've been pretty inactive lately. > > I just installed 5.1 release and I usually cvsup to stable but I'm not sure > there is a stable version yet. > > should I bother with cvsuping?
