Hm, do you mean update with subversion to 8.4-stable or 8.4-current? Unless you have a non default kernel there is no need to rebuild to get 8.4-stable, just run `freebsd-update fetch install' without '-r ...' and you are done. Rebuilding the system from source can break freebsd-update specially if build with custom optimizations (-O...) Anyway good to hear you managed to get your system to a supported release. -- olli
