Hi Everybody ,
I know that all FreeBSD version have Branch on code tree . Now
I'm using to keep up-to-date FreeBSD witch CVSup and buildworld method .
I'm using 4.9 or 5.1 versions . in stable-supfile I setted
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_9
I know that, this method for only security advisories and other
seriously critical fixes ...
What is going on if I set it RELENG_4 ?! Do I have to use it ?
What about RELEASE Tag ?! When Do I have to use this type of
update for example Can I use it when I want to upgread my FreeBSD 4.9
RELESE to FreeBSD 5.1 or FreeBSD 5.0 RELEASE to Freebsd 5.1 RELEASE ...
I wonder about CURRENT Branch , How FreeBSD CURRENT users can
keep-up-to date their src tree and system because all of those updates
looks like for STABLE or RELEASE ?!!
Last question is ; Some body said that you I did not need to
make buildworld every time ?! I want to know When need to make
buildworld process ?!
Thanks
Vahric
