Yes, it is supposed to be that way. RELENG_7 will continue to show -PRERELEASE until after 7.0-RELEASE is out, at which point it will switch to show -STABLE. > 2 - RELENG_7_0 has higher version numbers than RELENG_7 on the src > files and config files for mergemaster. Considering that almost all changes to RELENG_7_0 are first applied to RELENG_7 before being applied to the (newer) RELENG_7_0 branch this is not surprising. Note also that the revision numbers that CVS assigns to each revision of a file depends heavily on which branch the file comes from, and which revision that branch is derived from. Higher number does not necessarily imply newer file. > > Given this information is it the case RELENG_7 has simply stopped been > updated? possibly even a fault on the cvsup servers I have been using.
