It's quite possible to go from RELENG_6 to 7.0-RELEASE via the traditional csup/buildworld cycle. Take a backup, as *always*. If the machine is remote, have someone prepared to go there ASAP if there is a problem. Be sure and "mergemaster -p". However, I don't recall much trouble ... aside from rebuilding all ports. In some cases, 'twas easier to "make deinstall" and then rebuild or even pkg_add. Kevin Kinsey -- Lee's Law: Mother said there would be days like this, but she never said that there'd be so many!
