The way I understand a release you have to have built the version before you can do the make release of the version. The upgrade to 4.5 is pretty much 4.5-stable from your level. You don't need a whole cvs thing, it is over 1.5 GB at this point. You need a tag=RELENG_4 or RELENG_4_5 source. I think Ruslan's crossbuild upgrade fixes are only in RELENG_4. A 181 MB mini-iso of 4.5-release would be much faster than the whole cvs. The mini-iso might take 15 hours to download but a binary upgrade may be much faster than anything you are contemplating.
