No. Source-upgrading to 6.X can only be done from 5.3-RELEASE (or newer RELENG_5). So somebody trying to do a source upgrade from 4.X needs to do it in two steps. But in general for such a "large" upgrade I'd strongly urge backing up all data, wiping the disk(s), and reinstalling + restoring. (For what it's worth, I specifically recommended this in the 5.X Early Adopters Guide.) Cheers, Bruce. --------------enigE7F22C6D539EE1D139A86AC1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDtWvw2MoxcVugUsMRAp34AJoCnCo+xFzMJOYuHaeJ07HeavghkQCgpPYC vlYex0hTbL4xOXwcZFZ4xrA= =0foo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE7F22C6D539EE1D139A86AC1--
