-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 The freebsd-update(8) binary upgrade patches are now available for 12.0-RC2. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64 and i386 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running earlier FreeBSD releases can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.0-RC2 During this process, freebsd-update(8) may ask the user to help by merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed merging was done correctly. # freebsd-update install The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components: # freebsd-update install It is recommended to rebuild and install all applications if possible, especially if upgrading from an earlier FreeBSD release, for example, FreeBSD 11.x. Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat11x and other compatibility libraries, afterwards the system must be rebooted into the new userland: # shutdown -r now Finally, after rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to remove stale files: # freebsd-update install Regards, Glen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEjRJAPC5sqwhs9k2jAxRYpUeP4pMFAlv6J3YACgkQAxRYpUeP 4pMLwA/8Dm+j0l31l7LLY+N0SSZ/V87Gkp878to/v7IzJZtbFYNG1zYOq3zJeaXg 1fG71q0TnmpyUQq75MHJssTwzupUWMPI1QSzC5+NIk2VMlC67Td75JU4nW00022Y 0XTH7Q+FleuGRqM+3MYE0oEsHUgMnCVhVWtz5iuJhOBzGI2pR7nsujqka+SIvGuU bsqy66Zj1HdQmOW/2yDxdOI7iaTamz1I1aXaGB3+nnwGtHgmfx9fKZpHSkrmfQak SV1Aroowovg+QMHeprhZBGPx5AQO1WaxwFs0LgpE0JzrSJDgnu1iYqipGsuf66ab NObhRRy5xDDVfnVRs7w3oFM4KwElo2WZg4r/vorJpSyNIqirdIDoatmb2pcb0Ezz q3DG/mUUleb4HLqZizaKsYJYkkIPPNMTDdtbY+e5vQrdi4kYe3wzEgW+zZm5TT+m vHI1nErPEIRFIe3J1kAvlJX6T9xSbATBVifNWJUU7KQDsfNRaNAGmCyQBF9gNOBe IDli6gmavZD6q/popJLM8eIZfLjW6Jktsprl5cf45S4TMYdwWt+HsHE/g5WgSSXi wO19beXw2YcwmehpelrjMVe4MXP57UTSmyAP808htsNOe34osnt2fLMF755R4l1K 6hZPNNjxX9zxzWyLfnO2WE8Xq3Y6twVMYRs1coSW6TJ5AfxJOEo= =tHW5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
