OK, that's where I'm up to, got the full repository and need to replace last year's sources with the newies. Now I've got a mental block or hole or something, just spent the last two hours reading doccos and writing down a list of possibly correct ways to checkout the sources for 3.2-STABLE so that they replace the existing 2.2.7-STABLE sources. If I try to represent what my mind is juggling, it's something like cvs [-q] [co|update] [-P] [-d] [-r RELENG_3] [src|world] where [] means maybe needed. As you see, the only part I'm sure of is the "cvs" at the start :-) It used to be so simple, and I could write an essay on what each bit does, but I'm buggered if I can work out which bits I need to stick together to get the job done. How will the CVS stuff that's already in the sources from the other branch affect this? Should I just delete the whole lot and start again with a fresh checkout? Is that necessary/safer, or would that just be cheating? I guess I'd rather know what's the most correct way here. Then from the responses I got to my other questions, it seems that I can try 'make upgrade' before messing around and see how I go, and if it doesn't work then do a binary upgrade install from the 3.1 CDs. At the end I'll have either an updated system or a hilarious web page :-) -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
