It really isn't a good idea to cvsup untill you are ready to make world. For instance, if you added new hardware or software that requires a new kernel option, you would not be necessarily be able to build a new kernel without making world first. Keeping src and world in dated sync resolves this problem. -- Jim Weeks On Sat, 20 Oct 2001, Joe Warner wrote: > > Hi, > > A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded from 4.2-RELEASE > to 4.4-STABLE and I understand this process quite well now. > > I'm still a newbie at this and this might be a stupid question but.. > > If I've taken the steps here: > > http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/cvsup.html > > ..and I run /usr/local/bin/cvsrun each week, > > do I need to do this: > > http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/mw.html > > ..each time, after running cvsrun? > > I've read through the handbook/FAQ a bunch of times, searched > the archives and the web and so far, haven't found anything that > confirms this. > > Thanks > > Joe > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
