upgrading to a specified version?

[windlamf]

Hi all !
The version of my current system is 4.7, and I want to upgrade the system to 4.11.From the description of "UPDATING" in /usr/src, I know that I have alternatives among severval stable versions. But how can I specify the right version which I want the system upgraded to?
If I want my fb upgraded to 4.10, what can I do?
As far as I know, the handbook does not mention things like this. So I turn to you guys for help.

Thanks
Andy

put this to your supfile:
*default tag=RELENG_4_10

then run
# cvsup supfile

The handbook elaborates quite verbosely on this:

Thanks!
If I specify the parameter of "tag" as RELENG_4, then does cvsup only fetch the latest source code of my current system version?

Well, RELENG_4 a.k.a. FreeBSD 4-stable is FreeBSD 4.11 (the latest
release) + security fixes + bug fixes or small backports from the
-current branch, although this is not very likely for FreeBSD 4 anymore.

RELENG_4_11 on the other and the security branch of FreeBSD 4.11 +
security fixes.

If you want to run FreeBSD 4 on your machine, I'd recommend any of the
two above branches (since FreeBSD 5 is the new stable branch, RELENG_4 and
RELENG_4_11 won't differ a lot).

HTH,
Simon
