Here's an approach that works quite well: First add to /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE=yes SUP=/usr/bin/csup SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.freebsd.org SUPFILE=/etc/sup/stable.sup Then create the /etc/sup directory, and in it, create the file /etc/sup/stabe.sup with the following content: *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all The setting RELENG_8 will bring you the latest 8-STABLE. Maybe you should replace the servers with something near your location for better speed. Then, as root: # cd /usr/src # make update and you've got the current sources. > I'm assuming also, then, that I will have to recompile my kernel won't > I? Of course, and kernel and world have to be in sync, so building world is also needed. See the instructions in the Makefile's comment section: # For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a # delta of a few days): # # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target] # 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `make delete-old' # 9. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -U or -ai). # 10. `reboot' # 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) # # See src/UPDATING `COMMON ITEMS' for more complete information. This is /usr/src/Makefile of course. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
