Given your past experiences with cvsup/mergemaster, if you're planning a major upgrade (from 4.6 to 5.x or even STABLE), are you sure you wouldn't be better off re-installing? > *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 this will get you the head of the FreeBSD-STABLE branch - if you just want to get all the security updates to 4.6, you should use RELENG_4_6 -- David Fleck david.fleck@mchsi.com
