If you use RELENG_5_3 tag, you'll get 5.3-RELEASE-pN where N is a number which increases with every security update. Right now you would get 5.3-RELEASE-p2. If you use RELENG_5, you'll get 5.N-STABLE, where N is a number which increases after every release from the RELENG_5 branch. Right now you would get 5.3-STABLE. > 3) After my cvsup of the ports collection completes updating, is there > any easy way to check which ports were updated ? Using portupgrade you can check which of the ports you have installed were updated. But again, since I personally don't use portupgrade, I can't give you any furhter details on that. There should be more than you want to know about it in the list archives.
