This isn't right is it? What are the consequences of installing over your files with unexpanded version ids? I would like to build a release(make release) and want to know if I can continue or if this is going to be a problem for future upgrades/mergemaster runs. I compiled and installed from source that was supped around 9:30am this morning. I keep a local repository and checkout the source from there. Here are the steps I used for the upgrade from 4.7 STABLE Nov 12, 2002: I updated the repository like so... cd /home/ncvs cvsup -L2 -g supfile supfile: -------------------------------------------- # Defaults that apply to all the collections *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default base=/home/ncvs *default prefix=/home/ncvs *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-all doc-all -------------------------------------------- /usr/src and /usr/obj were rm -rf'ed. Then checked out the source... cd /usr cvs co -P -rRELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE src Build and install... cd /usr/src make buildworld make KERNCONF=SERVER kernel reboot (single user) mounted file systems make installworld mergemaster (version id problem here) reboot Thanks for any assistance. -- Dave
