To upgrade from 4.x to 5.0, one should pass thru top of RELENG_4 tree. Anything else is not agreed to by all of us. I do not like many of the warts^H^H^Hhacks you put in the build system to handling 4.0->5.0 source upgrading. Please discuss this issue on arch@ and lets come to a consensus. > Yes, and it works now. Even if you forget about 4.x for the moment, > the "old pre-<sys/endian.h> 5.0" still holds. People with very old -current's should know how to get around nits like this (make includes for instance); otherwise they should consider a binary upgrade. > I expect that by time we release 5.0, we will officially support > X.any -> X+1.0 upgrade paths (including cross-updates). Uh, no. Discuss this amongst all the developers before you push your personal desire on all of us.
