With the much anticipated update to FreeBSD 2.0.5, I'm wondering what the easiest upgrade path from 2.0 (April snapshot) to this new release is. First off, what is the easiest way to update the binaries and utilities without overwriting, for example, new software that I've installed? Case in point, if I've got a newer version of sendmail installed and configured than what is going to be shipping with 2.0.5, but I'd still like to update the other binaries in /usr/sbin, is there a way to do it? The only way I can think of is grabbing the source, removing the sendmail (and any other software that I've installed more current versions of) target from the Makefile, recompiling, and going from there. Another consideration is in updated configuration files that have necessary changes for 2.0.5 to work, but which can't overwrite my original files because they have necessary changes that allow my *current* system to work (e.g. sendmail.cf, rc.*, sysconfig, etc). I guess what I'm looking for is an update plan. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Cheers, -Wes
