 Got a question about upgrading using cvsup. 

 

I've been following Richard Bejtlich's excellent howto for keeping FreeBSD boxes up to date: 


http://www.taosecurity.com/keeping_freebsd_up-to-date.html 

 

The instructions say to create a supfile with a line like this: 

 

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1 

 

and if you want to upgrade to the next version, to use this instead: 

 

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_2_0_RELEASE 

 

My question: Is it OK to skip the "_RELEASE" part and instead use the 

following: 

 

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_2 

 

Many thanks
