I'm about to bite the bullet and upgrade my old reliable server from
2.2.8-STABLE to 4.3-RELEASE. Biggest incentive is the increasing
number of ports that won't build without hand-holding and desire to
support the Ricoh MP7040S SCSI CD-ROM burner I bought for it without
doing the basic research to realize the WORM dirvers wouldn't
recognize it. Silly me, I thought SCSI burners would be as
interchangeable as SCSI disks and CD-ROM drives.
I worked my way through the steps of doing the source upgrade (which
includes stops along the way at 3.5.1 and 4.1, as best I can tell)
and decided it would be easier to try to make one large leap.
So, I'm planning on:
1) Full backup (maybe several :->)
2) Boot 4.3-RELEASE CDs and select "Upgrade" (kernel and binaries
only)
3) Mergemaster
4) CVS update /usr/src to RELENG_4_3
5) make buildworld
6) make installworld
7) reboot
If that leaves me with a running machine, then I'll
1) Mergemaster
2) make buildkernel (GENERIC)
3) make installkernel (GENERIC)
4) reboot
If I'm =still= alive, I'll edit up a custom kernel config file and
have another go.
Things I worry about:
1) Are all the currently built ports going to continue to run?
That is, should I be concerned about a.out/2.x compatability
issues? Am I going to have to rebuild the ports now in use?
2) Will my elaborately constructed ghostscript/hpdj500 printer
subsystem that now makes my antique HP DeskJet 520 think it is
a PostScript printer going to be damaged?
I =am= expecting that I'll have to redo my sendmail.cf and
supporting files; that should be no problem for me. This machine
isn't running named.
So, gang. What else should make be duck? Will it be easier if I
preserve some particular configuration files before I start (other
than doing the full backups, that is).
Attached are a current dmesg and pkg_info, in case you want to delve
further.
Thanks!
