Yes, and 8.4-stable. There is no 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. Ok. Old habits came into play; I've always updated my FreeBSD systems via source. It is that freebsd-update which is new to me... > Rebuilding the system from source can break freebsd-update specially if build with custom optimizations (-O...) Noted. In my case, using freebsd-update was only to get out of the "ports tree suddenly not supported" situation I got into. > Anyway good to hear you managed to get your system to a supported release. Yes. :) -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
