I have no trouble with cvsup and getting the -stable source tree, but before I jump in I thought I'd describe the 3 servers and see if there would be any hidden gotchas in the upgrade. I will also be upgrading all application software to the latest stable releases. Server 1 -------- Email, WWW server, squid proxy, router running ip-filter, majordomo Machine is running 2.1.6-RELEASE Can I upgrade the machine by doing a make world of stable and compiling a new kernel? Server 2 -------- Email, WWW server, squid proxy, router running ip-filter, samba and netatalk Machine is running 2.2.1-RELEASE Server 3 -------- Squid proxy, router running ip-filter Machine is running 2.2.1-RELEASE For the 2 2.2.1-RELEASE boxes I should just be able to make world and compile a new kernel, shouldn't I? I can see trouble with the 2.1.6 box, but should the 2.2.1 boxes upgrade OK?
