One needs to have stable/12/ material from after -r354233 in order for it to be supported. He might even mean that stable/12/ material from before: "Tag releng/12.2@r366954 as release/12.2.0 (12.2-RELEASE)" would also be considered as not supported. To be safe you should be using stable/12/ material from on or after -r366954 in order to have a supported context. (I'm not sure if anything is explicit about the status of stable/12/ material between releng/12.1@r354233 and releng/12.2@r366954 .) Since you did not provide the output from the likes of "uname -apKU" (or some rough equivalent) I've no direct clue which version you were trying. But you should be able to compare to the above to see which range the material is from. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
