I'm pretty sure this will be possible, but the mechanism will almost certainly have changed. By the time 12-CURRENT becomes 12.0-STABLE I expect that we will have moved onto packaged base. You can already build a packaged 12-CURRENT. See https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase for details. Given that, the essentials of the process to upgrade to 12.0-RELEASE would be to add a repo.conf that points at the standard 12.0-RELEASE repository, and then type 'pkg upgrade' Cheers, Matthew --lD9LTR1H3Pet9x1noNPtlV48kJ0G13lXt-- --U9NnvLvC25GLaP1xF22pBSXosXu4rU6Mj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJY9b34XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NTNBNjhCOTEzQTRFNkNGM0UxRTEzMjZC QjIzQUY1MThFMUE0MDEzAAoJELsjr1GOGkATljUP/jOTrvzsB3NHTuX4ZXFxWaT5 4V1VMF108QkzbnwuVYGGpzhX+SCIqHfvaJMsKU+0sLi3do6p9gMGgnnKaVARhD6f n999TaZqJPNKIiex+LAArwxW99ufxI90zZOaw9isg8XR3euq11apozK4M5dbdPqi YiBMeAPZijsJxUGdHmjy7AUNfe99WFFNV9GDWoyZdUpxV27Sijju0Ai/VIzsgj4T 5lPijhevbQzfAJ5Z6SJfED6hm6QCJ0ek/CP5guNbs4oZsi4S/ro1IhhgJBzd/McA sJK1rV00estzu/p1VMbzDlsTdQlB87RtmOQRjrlITcaQe0Y8xu8YgSkY9NrwKO8e MpRTVc5AXG8yoKXW8QtmGyxjUGmqEepSJ+dLhVa4JinO5vhID3YpjlUttINbVTEC JtYyaVbuPhG4sAtCQ1Rc/z2lSKylFWEAfGM5wZPhPDIvfKZ6cwXrIpMqiMsEe7vj GolGcATdyyK+UNWD34mhGkvQY1N2IaPv5R5nOfXWsUfu3cGZE3aQQdUupHfiBeJ9 +eauNHJYHj5jIjT69Hss4yJQHewD89A+7paVEGW62uSHnTcKaL9QMqaC4mKpvtF5 NHnwdz95f2twlKkvb7UeRAiKqWWwcJ/P64TSKQ2+Wn7JKccZ4fZcDSqqMnx+dBcm uE/6cBnKkHBE77iemNkS =aOdv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --U9NnvLvC25GLaP1xF22pBSXosXu4rU6Mj--
