Are you aware of the fact that the FreeBSD base system and kernel (/usr/src) have nothing to do with the ports (/usr/ports) in this context and should be handled seperately? > Since I have switched to the 5_3 instead of 5_3_RELEASE, do I have to > do more updates for my system. There is no RELENG_5_3_RELEASE tag; if you update your sources with this tag everything would be deleted. It's RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE. Furthermore I can't imagine that this tag causes more updates; the branch RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE remains untouched as far as I know. Read about the release engineering [1] and chapter 19 and 4 of the handbook [2] to learn more about updating FreeBSD and third-party software.
