I would recommend upgrading to 4.6 Release instead of 4.5, unless you have some very specific reason for wanting 4.5. The release tag would indeed be RELENG_4_6. Why not just follow the instructions given in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html ? This is largely what you are proposing, but in order to build a kernel that's in sync with the world, I would recommend following the Handbook and using make buildworld, make buildkernel, make installkernel, make installworld. -David -- Everyone who believes in telekinesis, raise my hand...
