I'm hoping to get a few suggestions on a quick and safe method to upgrade a FreeBSD production server. To date, I've been doing the following: On a like configured staging server, cvsup the src tree. Then perform a full build and install as outlined in /usr/src/Makefile. After confirming that the host operates as planned, I create a tarball of /usr/src and /usr/obj. I then transfer and extract the tarball on the production server(s), where I then perform installkernel / reboot / installworld. I'd like to find something a little quicker that doesn't require so much free space on the production server. I've looked at DESTDIR and creating a tarball of that directory on the staging server, but I've had problems during extraction with files and the 'schg' flag. Any suggestions?
