We've got a number of boxes running 2.1.7 and want to migrate to 2.2; is it easy or hard? Ideally I could do: mv /usr/src /usr/src.old cvsup <whatever>-supfile [whatever's appropriate for 2.2] cd /usr/src make world make install In the past, I've had problems trying to do this: libraries became out of sync and the make, cc, and other failed, leaving me with an unusable system. Also, which cvsup files are appropriate? I've been tracking 'stable', which gives me 2.1.7. Does 'current' give me 2.2 or 3.0? Which would be appropriate? Any other pointers, like maybe building in a separate /usr/src-new tree? Thanks.
