-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Apologies for sending this followup email regarding binary upgrade bits so late: On Sat, May 25, 2019 at 12:38:23AM +0000, Glen Barber wrote: [...] > === Upgrading === > > Please note, freebsd-update(8) upgrades to 11.3-BETA1 are not yet > available, and undergoing investigation. > Support for upgrading via freebsd-upgrade(8) is now available. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64 and i386 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running earlier FreeBSD releases can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 11.3-BETA1 During this process, freebsd-update(8) may ask the user to help by merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed merging was done correctly. # freebsd-update install The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components: # freebsd-update install It is recommended to rebuild and install all applications if possible, especially if upgrading from an earlier FreeBSD release, for example, FreeBSD 11.x. Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat10x and other compatibility libraries, afterwards the system must be rebooted into the new userland: # shutdown -r now Finally, after rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to remove stale files: # freebsd-update install Regards, Glen Love FreeBSD?
