Well, RELENG_4 will get you the latest in the 4.x series, which at the moment is ready to become 4.6-RELEASE. You should be able to safely upgrade to RELENG_4_5 (the stable version of the 4.5-RELEASE source, plus any critical fixes that have been applied to the source since the date of the release). > But I'm confused about whether I want the tag string to be RELENG_4 > or RELENG_4_5.

You can find more about the 'security branches' of the source, by reading what they are and their use in FreeBSD, at the URL: http://www.FreeBSD.org/security/ Cheers, Giorgos.
