Hi! > Which verison FreeBSD are you using ?! Most of the server: 4.9. Some bit-rot, we're working on it. > How long does it take to complate all process ?! For one server, if it's fairly recent: approx. 10 minutes of person-time, approx. 1-2 hours wall-clock (compiling). > You mean I can make source up-to-date (cvsup) / make world process at this > moment server can response to web clients ?! Yes. Only a short time (during the installworld and mergemaster) the system is in a somehow fragile state, but it works most of the time, so we do it in multiuser. The update 4.9 -> 5.2 will probably be much more difficult and we will test it extensibly, before we do it on production servers. > Why don't you choose binary update methode . Does it have problem ?! or it's > not a true way to keep up-to-date FreeBSD Good question 8-) > and do you test those process on other machine before apply those patches to > your production server ?! Yes, intensivly. We first do it to our desktop systems and testservers (approx. 40 systems) before we make the rollout to the visible servers. -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 17 years to go !
