Smells like a RELEASE is on the way...

What makes you say that? Not that I'm not hoping your right. :)
 
Perhaps you should lay low on the beans and brussels sprouts.

I pray that there are no open flames near you.

    We think we're ready for the 9.1-RELEASE builds.

Hmm... Subversion is very funny... I cannot simply swap remote head refs to pull from? Well, whatever, doing a full clone again.
 
The branch to track for 9.1-RELEASE is /base/releng/9.1 because that branch will receive security updates if and when they are committed. The /base/release/9.1.0 branch will be frozen forever at the release point, i.e. now.

Oh... this is a bit confusing how many repo copies have been made on the official FreeBSD Subversion server. Thank you for this information.

Coming from GIT land are we? LOL. The 'svn switch' command should take care of this, but you must do it from the root of the working directory and you must specify the full path to the new repository you want to download from (it will only pull the differences and apply that vs the entire branch).

Example Initial Checkout:
[CMD=""]
% svn checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1/ /usr/src
[/CMD]

Update to release branch
[CMD=""]
% cd /usr/src
% svn switch svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1.0
[/CMD]
 
I think
% svn switch [url=svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1]svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1[/url] /usr/src
would work, but have not tested it.
 
There is no releng/9.1.0 branch and there won't be. The releng/9.1 branch is the 9.1-RELEASE branch that will receive the security updates and critical fixes. You must be confusing the release/9.1.0 "snapshot" with the release branch, release/9.1.0 is the frozen in time snapshot of the repository that will not receive any updates ever.

So, use the releng/9.1 branch if you want to receive any security and other updates to your 9.1-RELEASE system.
 
It seems the "releng/9.1" is the branch which I wanted. So I did not need the other repo copy.

Thank you for the hint with "svn switch".

Haha, I opened the "Release Information" page and it was still showing 9.0. I opened this thread and saw your post then refreshed, and Bam! I see Release 9.1. :)

Indeed. The announcement has been made on the FreeBSD website and I received it by e-mail almost an hour ago, it just hasn't been posted in the Announcements section of this forum yet.
