freebsd stable - Feb 2005 - RELENG_4 tag in stable-supfile on 5.2.1 box - change it to RELENG_5?

I would like to upgrade my 5.2.1 box from source with cvsup to 5-STABLE.

Do I need to change the tag to RELENG_5 for FreeBSD 5-STABLE?
Or can I cvsup a new stable-supfile?

thanks,

woody

Firstly, read the handbook. Secondly, please read
http://www.freebsd.org/releng/ for a list of tags to use.

P.S. I use mutt, not pine. :)

Yes, change your tag to RELENG_5, but be sure to read UPDATING, too.

Nope. I don't see any sign of HTML.  (Not that I use pine.)

At the time 5.2.1 was released, RELENG_4 was still the stable branch. 
You'll need to switch to RELENG_5.  Be aware, however, that you may need
to reinstall your ports/packages -- 5.2[.1] was considered a technology
preview release for early adopters, and there was a compiler-related ABI
change that came in between 5.2 and 5.3, which affects C++ apps.  Nothing
in the base system, I think, but my recollection is that KDE and the like
needed to be reinstalled for me.
