and more curious. I updated one of my systems to 5.4 p2 today
Being a newcomer to FreeBSD, I understand about Release version,
STABLE version and CURRENT one. But I don't understand this
p2 you are refering to.
I could guess it means point release 2, so I checked:
http://www.freebsd.org/where.html
But files seems to be for 5.4-RELEASe still from May 8.
So what is 5.4 p2 ?

It is my understanding that the p# stands for the second patch to 5.4
Release. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hum, let me reformulate this in my own words, to see if I
understand. You are running 5-STABLE, and this is the second
time 5-STABLE was generated from RELENG_5 branch since 5.4
was released.
(I did looked at http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html
to write this)
Almost. This is the second patch update to RELENG_5_4 (since it is
5.4-RELEASE-p2 and not 5.4-STABLE-p2)
5.4-RELEASE gets updated with important security and bug fixes but
not everything that goes into -STABLE.
That is how I understand it.

Ok, fine, I was thinking that maybe there was some kind
of 5.4.2 release, but no, there will be no official release
to 5.4 until 5.5.
