Subject: Branch Tags vs Release Tags

Hello,

Need to upgrade to FreeBSD 4.9  so all my ports will run.  Not sure, 
however if
I want/need:

RELENG_4_9
   

This is the one you want, as it contains all the fixes etc since 4.9
was released.
 

   The release branch for FreeBSD-4.9, used only for security
   advisories and other critical fixes.
or,

RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE
   

This one is exactly as released, ie what you get on the install CD.

 

   FreeBSD 4.9

I understand that the Release tag references FreeBSD version 
at a given 
point in time, but is there a problem selecting RELENG_4_9, 
"...used only for security advisories and other critical fixes."
   

No problem, in fact it would make little sense not to use this branch.
 

I guess that 's what so confusing.  Who would benefit using

RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE?

Thanks much Ed.
Bob
