Should it be tag=RELENG_6_0?
Either RELENG_6_0 or RELENG_6.
RELENG_6_0 tracks 6.0.x, i.e. 6.0 + critical fixes. This is the
least risky update path, but you'll have to switch to

It might be that FreeBSD 6.0, or just the installation you have

It is normal, just a version bump from libm.so.3 to libm.so.4.

One option I have seen for creating your own restore is to create a script
