There seem to be a LOT of great articles about how to update a freebsd system. But they all seem to recommend a different approach. I am looking for a simple way to keep the OS up to date. Background info: I am going to be running a few FreeBSD production servers. I need to document everything first. I have a cvsup file that looks like this: *default host=cvsup4.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all I would update FreeBSD like this: # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot boot in single user mode # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot However, I recently read about "make update". Should I be using this instead? Any advice is appreciated.
