Hello, I'm tracking -stable with this in my supfile *default host=cvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix I did not override these settings. in a previous post on this list i've seen the following: > cd /usr/src > make buildworld > make buildkernel > make installkernel > reboot (single) > cd /usr/src > make -k installworld > make installworld (this was for a 3.4 -> 4.0 upgrade.) now the handbook specifies: You should build your new kernel after you have completed make world (or make installworld). If you do not want to do this (perhaps you want to confirm that the kernel builds before updating your system) you may have problems. These may be because your config(8) command is out of date with respect to your kernel sources. so what will it be? (a) make buildworld make installworld make buildkernel or (b) make buildworld make buildkernel make installworld And euhm another small question. I cvsupped my src tree tuesday (with the stable-supfile), but doing a make buildkernel does not work: make: don't know how to make buildkernel. stop. is this because i have to follow (a), or because the dar thingie didn't update my Makefile (it is dated -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5753 Aug 29 1999 /usr/src/Makefile ) When i look on ftp://ftp.freeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src, the Makefile there has the same date as mine, so I suppose this is a good one. andy ========================================================================== Dept. of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Ghent Krijgslaan 281 - S9, B - 9000 Ghent, Belgium Phone: +32-9-264.47.66, Fax: +32-9-264.49.95 E-mail: andy.georges@rug.ac.be ========================================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
