Hi all!

Please forgive me, but this question springs from my over-developed sense of
caution :)

I have a box installed from the 4.3 CD set.

root carrot:/# uname -a
FreeBSD carrot.mip.co.za 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21
10:54:49 GMT 2001     jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC
i386

Is it safe for me to run cvsup with a 'sup' file like this:
------------------
# SUP file for 4.x stable

*default tag=RELENG_4
#*default host=cvsup.za.FreeBSD.org
*default host=cvsup2.za.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

src-all
------------------

In other words, is it quite safe to assume that cvsup will correctly update
my system which is actually 6 months AND one version number out of date?

Patrick.
