The upgrade routine warned that it could not replace the /usr/src tree and that cvsup was the right way to do this. To get this system from 5.4-RELEASE to RELENG_5_4, am I ok just cvsup'ing src-all followed by the rest of the steps you indicated? If not, what steps will get the sources in sync? thanks again!
