Hi, I just completed building 4.0-RELEASE (which I obtained via cvsup). It built fine (I used buildworld). I am upgrading from the 3.4 cds (Jan 2000). Now, once I completed compiling I went into single-user mode and did a make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/root-18042000 distrib-dirs distribution (yes that directory existed). It seemed to go pretty well until it started running MAKEDEV and I got lots of /sbin/makedev syntax errors (/sbin/makedev was called with only one parameter). Now, I realise I probably should've done a make installworld first, but I would like to know if you could tell me whether this is the reason that it's failing or whether it'll still be this way after a make installworld. The reason I'm not just going ahead and trying is that I'm a little stressed on time at the moment and can't really afford using up too much time hacking around to get failing upgrades working :/. (I'm unfortunately not subscribed to the mailing lists at the point because I can't handle the traffic [I tried, really! :) ] so please reply to both the list/s and me, thanks!] PS: I love being able to update using cvsup - I come from Linux, where updating is usually a matter of a big ftp download or buying a cd :/ Thanks, -- Stefanus Du Toit * WorldForger * Unix Hacker * Open Source Fanatic mailto:sdt@gmx.net * http://www.worldforge.org/ * http://ultracool.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
