10/12 I'm trying to upgrade my FreeBSD 4.1 RELEASE system to 4.1.1
STABLE but I can't get a hang of this cvsup thing. What is
the idiot admin's way of upgrading a FreeBSD system? Optionally,
can I just use anon cvs to grab all of /usr/src and run
make world?
\_rtfm
\_ 1. go to cvsup in the ports, do a make install
2. take a look at /usr/share/example/cvsup (or something)
3. update the ports first. cvsup 4.x-ports_supfile
4. update the src cvsup 4.x_src_supfile (or something similar)
5. build new kernel
\_ Read /usr/src/UPDATING, as it has some good tips. In general,
the procedure after cvsupping is:
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# edit /sys/i386/conf/YOURKERNEL
# make buildkernel YOURKERNEL
# shutdown now
# make installkernel YOURKERNEL
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot |
