Upgrade from 5.3 RC1 to 5.3

[Mauricio Brunstein]

Ok. I'm building world now. I never compiled anything in this 
source tree, From de RC1 sources, I made cvsup with the RELENG_5_3
tag, and I'm building the world and kernel with the following make.conf:

# Begin of make.conf
# -- use.perl generated deltas -- #
# Created: Sat Nov  6 04:24:01 2004
# Setting to use base perl from ports:
PERL_VER=5.8.5
PERL_VERSION=5.8.5
PERL_ARCH=mach
NOPERL=yo
NO_PERL=yo
NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo

CFLAGS= -O -pipe
MAKE_SHELL?=sh
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe
MAKE_IDEA=     YES     # IDEA (128 bit symmetric encryption)
# End of make.conf

Note that NOPROFILE isn't defined, so 'make buildworld' is making
everything.

I am upgrading from 5.3 RC1, do I need to go to single user mode, to install
the world and the kernel of 5.3?

Regards,

Mauricio.

The primary issue I'm aware of, and I'll mention it specifically because I'm
responsible for it, is that we made a last minute change to the device
driver ABI for network device drivers.  When you do the update, make sure
that all modules are rebuilt -- especially if you're using a third party of
ports-built network device driver module.
