X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2010 22:44:28 -0000 OK, so I'm a late adopter - up til now I've always upgraded FreeBSD machines from source or picking the update from a CD, but I decided to try freebsd-update to finally get my home machine from 6.4 to 7.1 (and thence hopefully to 8.1). Everything went well up through the merge steps, until I noticed a merge I had forgotten to resolve in /etc/hosts.allow, so at the "Does this look reasonable (y/n)?" prompt I answered 'n', thinking that would put me back into the editor. Instead it dumped me to the command line and aborted the update completely. How can I continue from here without downloading and applying 29000+ patches all over again, not to mention having to manually resolve the updated $FreeBSD lines in a ton of config files? (Or worse, having it try to apply patches which have already been applied?) I just tried typing "sudo freebsd-update install" and "sudo freebsd-update install -r 7.1-RELEASE" but that gives me: "No updates are available to install." Is there some way to resume where I left off? -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services
