The three points which were non-trivial are 1. Addition of _dhcp user and group, 2. ABI differences mean that everything installed from the ports tree should be rebuilt, and 3. Portupgrade gets confused due to database format changes, do you should run `portupgrade -fR portupgrade` before portupgrading anything else.

I'm only a bit surprised that things went to well with 5.5. (But then FBSD has only crashed one time in ten years, :-), and that speaks volumes. gary PS: Any big gotchas in goingfrom 5.5 -> 6.1???

Yes, development of the branch is effectively ended since the world has moved on to 6.x. The only reason 5.5 was released was to batch up some of the changes made since 5.4, mostly made last year.

When 5.5-stable?
About a week ago I finally upgraded my DNS server from 5.3-S to 5.5. I see that I still caught a -prerelease" kernel. Any ETA of when 5.5 will be -stable? (Most of my other FBSD server can be not quite//less than stable. But if my DNS srver bites the dust, ) Also, is 5.5 the LAST of the 5's? thanks for some clues, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
