Hello -stable ones, I recently (without drama) upgraded a 5.4-RELEASE system to FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE #1: Tue Aug 1 11:11:20 EST 2006 for 'target practice' at least, on the way to 6.1-STABLE I was preparing to portupgrade everything next, when I wondered: a) should I upgrade from RELENG_5 straight to RELENG_6 or should I be stopping off at 6.1-RELEASE along the way first? and b) do I need to upgrade all existing ports (way out of date) before the source upgrade, or can I be confident of doing that from 6.1 (-R or -S)? FWIW: a wee Celeron 300, so minimising upgrade build times is desirable. Cheers, Ian
