For reference, /usr/src/UPDATING says: : : To build a kernel : ----------------- : Update config, genassym and go: : cd src/usr.bin/genassym : make depend all install clean : cd ../../usr.sbin/config : make depend all install clean : cd ../../sys/i386/conf : config YOUR_KERNEL_HERE : cd ../../compile/YOUR_KERNEL_HERE : make depend && make : make install Actually, UPDATING no longer says that. It says to use the buildkernel and installkernel targets. : Kris Kenneway was kind enough to point out that source upgrading from : 3.4-STABLE to 4.0-STABLE is not supported (now where is *that* documented... : did I miss it?) Kris is wrong, or at least he's being overly agressive in what he claims isn't supported. It does work. And we've traditionally supported updating from the last -stable release from N-1 to the stable branch of N.0. And often it will work after N.0. However, you must follow the updated UPDATING file from -stable for it to work. In 3.x, you could update through about 3.2 from 2.2.8. Due to the huge number of changes in the 3.x branch after 3.2, you couldn't push it much past 3.2. So far there have been no show stopper MFC into the 4.0-stable branch. So long as that's the case, I'm going to keep claiming that one can update from source.
