Make buildworld is how you begin a source-based upgrade to the operating system. This is completely different and separate from anything package related. You are completely on the wrong track with this. Study the Handbook some more and this may become apparent. When you refresh your ports tree (which handles dependency tracking whether you are installing from ports or using packages) you will always be looking at the latest ports/packages. This is true no matter which branch of the OS you are using. Install RELEASE, refresh your ports tree, and you will still have all the 'most current packages'. You do *NOT* need to be running - CURRENT in order to have the 'most current packages'! This still reiterates the need for you to read and study the documentation. All of this information is present in the documentation. -Mike
