I'm right? One last question: I would expect the same issues if I wish to to support m= any FreeBSD releases running of one single type of architecture? (i.e.: both bu= ilder and targets are amd64 machines=2C but I run RELENG_7 on the builder and RELENG_6_4 and RELENG_7_1 on the targets) Thanks for your explanation. _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Space= s.

I've build and exported RELENG_7_0 into an i386 jail running on amd64 hardw= are=2C then I mounted sources and binaries on a RELENG_6_4/i386 machine and I have been a= ble to successfully upgrade without any trouble!!

I'm thinking that it would be a great thing to prepare some materials expla= ining the methods for maintaining a managed FreeBSD infrastructure in a corporate production = environment. A lot of sysadmins are afraid that they'll have to spend so much time in soft= ware management tasks if they put FreeBSD in production for business applications=2C but it= seems that only a little of knowledge is required to manage such and environment obtaining a good TC= O. At present time I'm too much engaged with a lot of projects to be able to p= roduce any docs=2C but I'll surely advocate FreeBSD in such business scenarios! _________________________________________________________________ More than messages=96check out the rest of the Windows Live=99. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/= From owner-freebsd-i386@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Jan 17 12:06:42 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-i386@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C5711065986; Sat, 17 Jan 2009 12:06:42 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from andrew.hotlab@hotmail.com) Received: from col0-omc1-s5.col0.hotmail.com (col0-omc1-s5.col0.hotmail.com [65.55.34.15]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E02908FC1C; Sat, 17 Jan 2009 12:06:41 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from andrew.hotlab@hotmail.com) Received: from COL112-W79 ([65.55.34.7]) by col0-omc1-s5.col0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959); Sat, 17 Jan 2009 04:06:42 -0800 Message-ID: X-Originating-IP: [217.133.1.92] From: Andrew Hotlab To: Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2009 12:06:41 +0000 Importance: Normal In-Reply-To: References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable MIME-Version: 1.0 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 17 Jan 2009 12:06:42.0157 (UTC) FILETIME=[0F2C69D0:01C9789C] Cc: freebsd-i386@freebsd.org, freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org, freebsd-arch@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Cross compiling FreeBSD X-BeenThere: freebsd-i386@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: I386-specific issues for FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2009 12:07:07 -0000 > From: andrew.hotlab@hotmail.com > Date: Sat=2C 17 Jan 2009 01:25:53 +0000 > >> >> On Fri=2C 16 Jan 2009=2C Andrew Hotlab wrote: >> >>> Sorry for my stupid question: I'll do the right thing if I'll build an = i386 jail chroot/jail on the >>> amd64 builder host with the following commands?
