from an april snapshot you may be able to just recompile and install > > 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.
