I have three old FBSD 10 boxes that I need to upgrade. Ordinarily I do this by building a new box with the latest OS then migrating services and data. Unfortunately I don't have that option this time, the upgrade has to happen in-place. My plan is to go from 10 to 11 then from 11 to 12. I was looking at the "Upgrading FreeBSD" part of https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.1R/installation.html#upgrade but unfortunately it seems to be missing a critical URL or two: "The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in and ." I tracked down where I think it points and the instructions appear to be just for same-version updates. Can I safely move /usr/src out of the way then check out the stable/11 and compile/install it or are there other things I need to do? thanks, nomad
