Hello, I just undertook the process of upgrading from 5.2.1-RELEASE to RELENG_5_3. First step was to read the doc, next to synchronize sources with cvsup. My problem comes at the "read /usr/src/UPDATING" step. I begun to track the entries pertaining to my system. I found so far two (20041010 on rc scripts, and 20040925 about bind). The task seems overwhelming if I have to track all of this : there are in this file many entries, but most of them have a date largely _before_ my initial installation of 5.2.1. Should I follow every entry, or only those after the date of my last system upgrade (in my case, initial installation) ? And, if the later is the case, how can I know the precise release date of 5.2.1-RELEASE ? Is there a calendar somewhere on the web, or, preferably, a log file or command on my system ? Or maybe an utility helping in this task ? Thanks for your help ! -- Christophe Ollier
