At present the 5.3-"cvsup" has ipfw man page that says following: USING IPFW2 IN FreeBSD-STABLE ipfw2 is standard in FreeBSD CURRENT, whereas FreeBSD STABLE still uses ipfw1 unless the kernel is compiled with options IPFW2, and /sbin/ipfw and /usr/lib/libalias are recompiled with -DIPFW2 and reinstalled (the same effect can be achieved by adding IPFW2=TRUE to /etc/make.conf before a buildworld). This can be confusing when 5.3 becomes "STABLE". At the moment 5.3 becomes 'STABLE', roughly something like this needs to be done: s/STABLE/RELENG_4/ s/CURRENT/STABLE/ and probably some cosmetic modifications due to this switch of words. Rob.
