Apple-222 is different than Apple-201-5. The deal is when new kernels
are submitted internally they are generally given a new montonically
increasing number. When the source for those is checked into Darwin
with the tag they are checked in under being Apple-nnn where nnn is
the version of the project. The notable difference between the kernels
you listed is that Apple-201 was the kernel that shipped with Mac OS X
10.1 and Darwin 1.4.1. After that stuff for software updates was done
on the Apple-201-xx branch, and more work not targetted at the
software update kept having increasing numbers. There is no -STABLE or
-CURRENT as in FreeBSD,
Interesting... So if I want to track xnu (and other modules) I just
have to follow the default branch (what you get if you don't supply a
branch with -r).
No.Top of tree is not something you want, it may not work, or it may
have problems. You want to pull a tagged release. Also, newer kernels
may have dependencies on other packages, like Libc, etc. Simply pulling
hte newest kernel and trying to run it on a release of Darwin or OS X
may have signficant issues.
