Installing OpenBSD 5.4-
release after installing OpenBSD 5.4-
current is a step backward. You would be moving from newer code to older code. Again, the head of the CVS tree where
-current snapshots are obtained today has an additional two months of development & bug fixes over what will be found in 5.4-
release.
The code base for OpenBSD 5.4-
release is already frozen. No new code will be checked into that CVS branch. Ever.
It may be worth your time to study
Section 5.1 of the official FAQ which describes OpenBSD's naming convention of
-release,
-stable, &
-current, & how these relate to the CVS code repository.
