<title>Release from &branch.head;</title>
<para>This section describes the general procedures of the &os;
release cycle from the &branch.head; branch.</para>

<title>&os; <quote><literal>ALPHA</literal></quote> Builds</title>
<para>Starting with the &os;&nbsp;10.0-RELEASE cycle, the notion
of <quote><literal>ALPHA</literal></quote> builds was
introduced. Unlike the <literal>BETA</literal> and
<literal>RC</literal> builds, <literal>ALPHA</literal> builds
are not included in the &os; Release schedule.</para>
<para>The idea behind <literal>ALPHA</literal> builds is to
provide regular &os;-provided builds before the creation of the
&branch.stable; branch.</para>
<para>&os; <literal>ALPHA</literal> snapshots should be built
approximately once a week.</para>
<para>For the first <literal>ALPHA</literal> build, the
<varname>BRANCH</varname> value in
<filename>sys/conf/newvers.sh</filename> needs to be changed
from <literal>CURRENT</literal> to <literal>ALPHA1</literal>.
For subsequent <literal>ALPHA</literal> builds, increment each
<literal>ALPHA<replaceable>N</replaceable></literal> value by
one.</para>
<para>See <xref linkend="releng-building"/> for information on
building the <literal>ALPHA</literal> images.</para>

<title>Creating the &branch.stablex; Branch</title>
<para>When creating the &branch.stable; branch, several changes
are required in both the new &branch.stable; branch and the
&branch.head; branch. The files listed are relative to the
repository root. To create the new &branch.stablex; branch
in Subversion:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>svn cp ^/head &branch.stablex;</userinput></screen>
<para>Once the &branch.stablex; branch has been committed, make
the following edits:</para>
