    Folks,

            I've seen the migration guide at
    <http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/migration-guide.html>, and the
    thread at
    <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-September/018151.html>,
    but I was wondering about the specific sequence of the upgrade
    process.

            In particular, I'm wondering if I should go from
    RELENG_4_11_0_RELEASE direct to RELENG_5_4, or if I should instead go
    first to RELENG_5_0_0_RELEASE then to RELENG_5_4?

            I think the individual steps to follow and commands to execute
    during the upgrade are clear enough. But it's not obvious to me as
    to which precise CVSup targets should be used to pull down the source
    that would be compiled, etc....
