--6B5oiwbC31sfIr4n Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I update my "production" systems here at home by use of a dedicated (non-production) "build machine," mounting its /usr/src & /usr/obj read-only via NFS and performing (essentially) "make installkernel" and "make installworld" -- details on the process may be found at <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/upgrade.html>; I finally got my test machine operational again, and used it to test the above process for upgrading from stable/11 to stable/12. I'm happy to report success. :-) I did encounter some bumps along the way; perhaps pointing them out now may help someone else avoid them later on, so: * I needed to change the script I use for performing the "make installkernel" so instead of: make installkernel DESTDIR=3D${DESTDIR} it does: make LD=3Dld.lld installkernel DESTDIR=3D${DESTDIR} * I found that I actually needed to create the ntpd user on the running system prior to "make installworld" -- having run "mergemaster -U" against the target (DESTDIF) was insufficient. * I needed to tell the build machine to actually build the additional .cf files for the target systems. (Yes, I still use sendmail. Intentioanlly.) That last is probably not something many others would encounter... :-) For amusement, here are the "uname -a" outputs from "before" and "after": FreeBSD pogo.catwhisker.org 11.2-STABLE FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE #848 r342366M/= 342366: Sat Dec 22 03:35:40 PST 2018 root@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/com= mon/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/ALBERT amd64 FreeBSD pogo.catwhisker.org 12.0-STABLE FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE #63 r342545M/34= 2550: Thu Dec 27 03:50:26 PST 2018 root@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/commo= n/S3/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/ALBERT amd64 (Note that I have not yet updated the installed ports; I have the misc/compat11x port installed (via a locally-built package). I expect to perform that part of the upgrade after a week or so of "shakedown.") Peace, david --=20 David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org Yes, Mr. Trump, your behavior IS a disgrace -- to put it very nicely.
