Well, just last Friday I tried to upgrade a FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE system to 4-STABLE and neither the buildworld nor the buildkernel worked. Buildkernel died trying to find osreldate.h, buildworld died looking for some function in libc (unfortunatly I can't remember exactly what it was). I even installed the port system patch from 4.1 to -STABLE remembering that some of those patches upgraded libc as well. Naturally it didn't help. Eventually, I just gave up and finally hunted down my 4.3 CD (someone had borrowed it). 4.3 upgrades to -STABLE with no issues. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
