Yes I sure did found a way.. Try this steps to upgrade from 3.2-RELEASE to 3.4-STABLE 1: move the /usr/src (mv /usr/src /usr/src.old) 2: clear the /usr/obj (cd /usr/obj ; rm -rf *) 3: do a fresh cvsup (cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile) 4: manually make groff (cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff ; make install) 5: make buildworld (cd /usr/src ; make buildworld) 6: make install (make installworld) and just do the rest update /etc /dev and kernel This should work without a problem.. Let me know if it works ok? -----Original Message----- From: Dave Runkle [mailto:drunkle@home.com] Sent: Monday, March 20, 2000 9:53 PM To: Lester A. Mesa Subject: Re: Desperate help upgrading from 3.2-R > 3.4-S Hello, did you ever get built/installed? I'm stopped at exactly the same point... I did some looking at the repository at the BSD site and can't find some of the directories that are stopping it. I'd sure be interested if you have a solution. I'll probably write the stable mailing list soon if I can't figure it out. I am doing exactly like you did, can't make ports, system too old, need to to 3.4-STABLE to build ports. I'd like to get to -STABLE or -CURRENT or anything beyond 3.2. Yesterday I did a fresh /stand/sysinstall from the 3.2 cd, installed src and ports, then cvsup the STABLE. I can't get out of buildworld Thanks, Dave On Fri, 17 Mar 2000, Lester A.
