OK guys this has now reached the point where I am again confudes -- here is my 
original posting amended to ensure there is no ambiguity

I am confused about the usage of the tag for src.

I took a look at the web pages and found the following choices:

RELENG_7_BP
RELENG_7_2_BP
RELENG_7_2_0_RELEASE
RELENG_7_2

But could not find anything that told me where -p2 fits into this!!


# uname -a

7.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed Jun 24 00:14:35 UTC 2009     
root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

To synchronize src and keep up to date do I use:

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_2
will this automatically track the latest version in 7_2  and therefore keep 
track with 7.2-RELEASE-p2 or later??

or
do I need to use something like:

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_2-p2

or
something else!!

Where can I find some explanation on this?
Maybe something from this discussion could be added to the 
handbook/synching.html page so the choice of suffix for configuring cvsup 
could be made easier for those who are not familiar with the meaning of 
undocumented suffixing such as -p2 !!. 

Another could there possibly be some consistency between the output from uname 
-a and the suffixing used for synching of the src be practicable. Please do 
not bite my head off if it is not practical -- I acknowledge it is a question 
born of ignorance and confusion <chuckles>
