Well, if you're moving from 4.4 to 4.7, there will be *quite* a lot of files which will have changed. > My question is (CVSUP file below) can anyone tell me what it has done and > what I was doing wrong ?

Your sources are probably in an indeterminate state. However, if you rerun cvsup, it will fix itself up. > The other thing is that I really only wanted to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.5 > initially but RELENG_4 was the nearest I got to being asked what release > I was after - was there something I missed there ?

Dunno about doc-all. Removing the ports-all and doc-all will probably just squeeze your update in. I'm unsure whether you'll have enough space to recompile your system though...
