Hi all, I've performed system upgrade last night, then I wanted to give a try to freebsd-update tool. If I understand it correctly, it should fetch only updates to my currently working system (unless -r option was given). But now it insists to upgrade my 6.4-p9 system to 6.4-p9 system: k2# uname -a FreeBSD k2.xxx 6.4-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE-p9 #0: Mon Mar 22 17:21:50 CET 2010 miki@xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/K2 i386 k2# freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 6.4-RELEASE from update4.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. The following files will be updated as part of updating to 6.4-RELEASE-p9: /usr/src/contrib/lukemftpd/src/ftpd.c /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist /usr/src/lib/libc/db/btree/bt_split.c /usr/src/lib/libc/db/hash/hash_buf.c /usr/src/lib/libc/db/mpool/mpool.c /usr/src/libexec/ftpd/extern.h /usr/src/libexec/ftpd/ftpcmd.y /usr/src/libexec/ftpd/ftpd.c /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh /usr/src/sys/fs/devfs/devfs_vnops.c /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_event.c /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_exec.c /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_fork.c /usr/src/sys/kern/sys_pipe.c /usr/src/sys/kern/uipc_domain.c /usr/src/sys/netinet6/in6.c /usr/src/sys/sys/event.h /usr/src/sys/sys/pipe.h /usr/src/usr.sbin/freebsd-update/freebsd-update.sh k2# Why is it doing it so? On the other hand, what is the suggested way to upgrade a system with custom kernel? Since freebsd-update cannot upgrade custom kernel, I have to build it on my own. And it says, that I have to install new kernel before I run 'freebsd-update install'. Does that mean, that I have to fetch source tree, build/install new kernel, and then fetch world binary updates? -- Mikolaj Rydzewski <miki@ceti.pl>
