[disaster elided] During the 2.2.5 beta period I upgraded the same box from 2.1.5 to 2.2.5 several times using just the source. You should have no trouble if you take note of a couple hints: 1) put the source in /usr/src (and be sure it is *not* read-only) 2) make sure you have 'mail' and 'network' in /etc/group 3) in /usr/src, run 'make buildworld' (you might like to redirect the output) 4) check that the stuff in /usr/obj looks good and the error logs were ok 5) in /usr/src, run 'make installworld' 6) update /etc from /usr/src/etc by hand, very carefully. That's it. The magic happens in 'make buildworld'. Stephen.
