upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4
Hi all, I just noticed that 5.4 is now the production release. I'm downloading the ISO image now, but I was wondering if anybody has done a source upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4 yet. I was going to try to just change my tag from RELENG_5_3 to RELENG_5_4 on one of my boxes, upgrade from source and see what happens. Has anybody done this yet? Any gotcha's, or is it a fairly smooth upgrade?

Has anybody done this yet? Any gotcha's, or is it a fairly smooth upgrade? Hi! Yes, I've done that a week ago, and everything went well. You only have to be careful with your compile options (in /etc/make.conf) if you have increased the optimization level for compiling ports (don't use more than -O). Just follow the handbook instructions (new procedure) and you're on your way. In case something fails and if you're not familiar with the booting process, read the section about how to boot your old kernel if the new one doesn't work.

I can confirm here as well, went very smoothly on all counts. Tony On Mon, 23 May 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anybody done this yet? Any gotcha's, or is it a fairly smooth upgrade? Hi!
