You can do a binary in-place upgrade, but I would recommend doing a clean install somewhere and then copying the data over, as 5.x is fairly different and an in-place upgrade will leave you with some old files lying around. - Mike H. X-Original-To: mvh@localhost Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2003 11:08:49 -0700 From: Richard Schilling Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-5.4 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_01 version=2.55 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp) I'm just getting into regular use with cvsup (way over do on that one), and I tried to specify a tag=. in the cvsup file. Here's the file: # This file specifies src files are to be uploaded. *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org # *default tag=RELENG_5_1_0_RELEASE *default tag=. *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup src-all The documentation says tag=. will download the actual CVS directories so I can review changes/diffs, but I don't see them present in the code. Just the top level directory has it and it looks like it's for 4.X. Did I do something wrong with the cvsup file? Next question has to do with upgrading. I have 4.6 src installed, but I cvsup'd RELENG_5_1_0_RELEASE. Does jumping several releases/sub-releases like that cause problems? Or, in other words, is it wiser to do incremental upgrades? --Richard Schilling _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
