:>     -CURRENT	Will indicate a build based on the head of the CVS tree.
:> 
:>     -WORKING	Will indicate a build baesd on our current stable tag
:> 
:> 		I am going to rename the tag from DragonFly_Stable to
:> 		DragonFly_Working to avoid confusion, but not today.  This
:> 		tag has turned out to be quite important because it allows
:> 		developers to stay reasonably up to date but take less
:> 		risk then the people running CURRENT.
:> 
:>     -RELEASE	Will indicate a build based on a release branch.
:> 
:>     -STABLE	Will indicate a build based on a post-release branch.

    We can change WORKING to something else, if someone can think up of a
    better name, but the other names are set in stone.

    What I am calling WORKING right now is unique to DragonFly... FreeBSD
    doesn't have a slip tag in their HEAD branch to track good working points
    during development.

    The other tags are fairly similar to their FreeBSD counterparts once
    you compensate for the fact that they are doing a two-track development
    model verses our one-track development model.
