[SDBUG] FreeBSD-6-RELENG ????

[Vye Wilson]

Well if you look at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html it
says that RELENG_6_1 is The release branch for FreeBSD-6.1. So he
might have been trying to be technical? or maybe he's new and doesn't
know exactly what he wants, he just heard a friend say that. I'm not
sure :)


So yes, I _think_ he just wants 6.1-RELEASE
