That depends on what you mean by minor version. If (for example) you want to go from 10.1 to 10.1 p3, then a simple svn fetch will do the trick. If you're trying to go from 10.0 to 10.1 then you need to point your repo to the right place. IE: svn switch --relocate http://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.1 && svn fetch I'd specifically avoid going from release to release until my systems were no longer supported and I could no longer get security updates for them. Don't fix what isn't broken and all that. -Daniel
