In the past, the proper way to update a system was to grab current sources via cvsup and then rebuild world and kernel. But now I see cvsup is no longer supported. The handbook talks about freebsd-update. I do not want binary upgrades but is this the tool to replace cvsup to update sources? How do I use it to replace the old way that went something like this: > > cvsup sources > make buildworld > make buildkernel > make installkernel > mergemaster > make installworld > > (I'm not sure I have that in the exact proper order but it was something like that). > > So is freebsd-update what I need?
