3.1 CVS tag question

This is confusing.
Which is the PROPER CVS tag to get 3.1-RELEASE and only bug
fixes and 
maintenance..Nothing 'new'.

netbsd-3-1-RELEASE
netbsd-3-base
netbsd-3-1

When I use these I get different src code...so  I am
confused.

Thanks!

You want the netbsd-3-1 branch which is the 3.1 release +
any security
problems or other critical problems pulled up.

Thanks. I did see that. But wondering what 3-1-RELEASE or
3-1-base is?

Tags and branches can look very similar in CVS if you aren't
careful. 
3-1-RELEASE is a tag for the actual revisions in the formal
release of 3.1. 
At this point the netbsd-3-1 branch was branched. There
isn't a 
netbsd-3-1-base tag.

Take a look at the following for example:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/param.h
Look at rev 1.211 and then all subsequent commits against
that branch (which 
all begin with 1.211.). 1.211.2.14 is the actual version in
the 3.1 release, 
there are later commits to that branch (which all begin with
1.211.2.14.).

"netbsd-3-1-RELEASE" is the CVS tag for the
sources used to build the
NetBSD 3.1 release.

And "netbsd-3-1-base" is the base tag for the
"netbsd-3-1" branch
which contains the security fix for NetBSD 3.1. The sources
in
that branch will eventually get released as NetBSD 3.1.1.

Well this seems confusing now.

netbsd-3-1
or
netbsd-3-1-base

Or, are these the same? - I installed 3.1 then used
'netbsd-3-1' as 
my cvs tag and rebuilt the machine.

It shows:
3.1.0_PATCH NetBSD 3.1.0_PATCH (GENERIC.MPACPI)

Which I assume is correct for MAINT branch of 3.1

netbsd-3-1-base doesn't exist.  -base is used for the tag
where pre-release
branches (like netbsd-3, netbsd-4) are branched (i.e.,
netbsd-3-base was the
starting point for NetBSD-3.0_BETA, and the branch netbsd-3
was created
there).  netbsd-3-1 is branched at (not before) the 3.1
release, thus at
netbsd-3-1-RELEASE, not netbsd-3-1-base (which doesn't
exist).

No. "netbsd-3.1" is NetBSD 3.1.x branch.
"netbsd-3-1-base" is the tag which
marks where the "netbsd-3-1" branch was created.

Yes, it is.

No, netbsd-3-1-RELEASE is the base tag for the netbsd-3-1
branch.

Great!

What to say about fresh user without much unix
background...
Excellent example of rocket science where simple sling would
suffice.

Thank you Gentlemen. It's high time to think the NetBSD
over.
