Yes, easily. All of the 4.x PRERELEASE, RC1, RC2 and STABLE versions
all derive from the RELENG_4 cvs branch. (RC1, RC2 are just snapshots
of the tree at certain times). 4.7-RELEASE will be similarly
generated from the RELENG-4 branch, but instead of taking a snapshot,
a new branch RELENG_4_7 will be created. If you've been tracking
-STABLE up until 4.7-RELEASE come out, and you want to switch to
tracking 4.7-RELEASE, all you need to do is modify your cvs supfile to
change:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
to
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_7
and re-run cvsup, make buildworld in the usual way.
Cheers,
Matthew
