Kernel names.

[Deleted member 13721]

Hello,

When I start tracking the RELENG-9.1 branch (via SVN), build the source, install the kernel and world. The output of uname -a says 9.1-RELEASE-P3. Now I think that's right, but to be safe, I just want someone to verify this.

You can verify yourself that you have the latest sources of a particular branch:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1/sys/conf/newvers.sh?view=log

Select "view" or "as text".

I looked at the file you specified in my source code tree and it is right, thank you.

What does the -p3 stand for?

 

[SirDice]

It means there have been 3 (security) patches since the release.

I had a feeling it might be something like that, but I wanted to be sure.
