Yes, freebsd-update is the way to go... I got it done on my home/test server. back in the office where I have one machine on it thou. # uname -a FreeBSD rhino.matrix 9.1-BETA1 FreeBSD 9.1-BETA1 #0 r239929M: Fri Aug 31 12:42:47 EST 2012 root@rhino.matrix:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 # freebsd-update -v debug -r 9.1-RC1 upgrade Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching public key from update5.FreeBSD.org... fetch: http://update5.FreeBSD.org/9.1-BETA1/amd64/pub.ssl: Not Found failed. Fetching public key from update4.FreeBSD.org... fetch: http://update4.FreeBSD.org/9.1-BETA1/amd64/pub.ssl: Not Found failed. Fetching public key from update3.FreeBSD.org... fetch: http://update3.FreeBSD.org/9.1-BETA1/amd64/pub.ssl: Not Found failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. browse to: http://update5.FreeBSD.org/ Someone has removed the whole 9.1-BETA1 directory/folder/branch making it impossible for anyone from beta1 to upgrade to rc1 using freebsd-update even thou I got one server upgraded. Can we get that restored? If not what is the CVS tag or as I noted what are the SVN details for rc1?
