I've included it here because AFAIK the mail archives are still down. -------------- Begin included message --------------- Subject: 3.4-STABLE to 4.0-CURRENT Update Procedures From: Marius Strom <marius@alpha1.net> Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2000 14:27:29 -0600 (CST) To: doc@freebsd.org To whom it may concern: I initially wrote this to jkh, but he suggested I forward it here. I'm not subscribed to this list, but it may be helpful for the handbook. A small note -- I've been using FreeBSD for a number of months now, but have been admin'ing (Linux|Solaris) for a number of years. This isn't really a complaint about the release install, but some quick documentation would be necessary as far as doing a cvs update and following (build|install)world procedure. I've taken the liberty of writing this up without explanations as far as the luck I personally had with the procedure. I'll put in some notes as to why they must be done in the order presented: (some of this is thanks to people on the -current mailing list; their names escape me now) cvsup the -current source using /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile as an outline cd /usr/src/usr.bin/genassym && make obj ; make depend all install clean cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config && make depend all install clean cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf <create new kernel config here> config new_kernel cd ../../compile/new_kernel cp /kernel /kernel-3.x-backup make depend && make && make install cd /usr/src make buildworld cd /usr/src/sys/boot make install // can't be built on it's own - requires the newly built \ // cc flags etc. a buildworld is required prior to this disklabel -B <disk device... wd0, wd1, da0, da1, etc, etc> shutdown -r now boot single user mode <file system mounting may be needed here> cd /usr/src make -k -DNOINFO installworld // must be done under new kernel due to 19990929 \ // notes. mergemaster // take note that `xntpd` is now called `ntpd` // also, sendmail.cf moved to /etc/mail/ shutdown -r now <transition to ata stuff at your leisure> system should be fine I hope this helps, not very well documented and most stuff can be found in the UPDATING file, but I think a suitable step-by-step would assist a great deal. I think I remembered everything I did. =] As always, YMMV. -- Marius Strom <marius@alpha1.net> Professional Geek/Unix System Administrator Alpha1 Internet <http://www.alpha1.net>; http://www.marius.org/marius.pgp 0x5645C228 -------------- End included message --------------- > gjvc > > -- > [gjvc] > <gjvc@gjvc.com> > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
