That is not what I want to hear . That my planned update route won't fly, I mean. As to the insecurity risks... nah, I won't loose any sleep over the slight and temporal insecurity. The worse that could happen is, well, what? Nothing springs to mind. We're not an interesting target to crackers. Anyway, the box is currently happily runing 3.5.1-STABLE. But you are saying that I should not go straight to the RELENG_4 tag. So what tag do you suggest? I've only done CVSups within the stable branches. and port and security ones naturally. So I don't know any other tags . Couldn't find that page that listed the tags in the emanual either. I did look! Really.
