Greetings, I've been trying to figure out how the heck I should upgrade from 2.0.5-RELEASE to 2.1.0-RELEASE. It appears to be close to impossible. (Without backing up everything, wiping everything out with a re-install, and restoring everything - except those things that I shouldn't.) Sup appears to be worthless because I didn't get a supfile in the specified directory (/usr/share/examples/sup) and the one in /usr/share/FAQ/extras doesn't work... I get: .... SUP Fileserver supports compression. SUP: Invalid release current for collection base SUP: Upgrade of base aborted at Feb 2 23:28:03 1996 SUP Upgrade of bin at Fri Feb 2 23:28:08 1996 SUP Fileserver 9.13 (4.3 BSD) 28525 on freefall.FreeBSD.org at 23:28:08 SUP Fileserver supports compression. SUP: Invalid release current for collection bin SUP: Upgrade of bin aborted at Feb 2 23:28:08 1996 SUP Upgrade of etc at Fri Feb 2 23:28:13 1996 SUP Fileserver 9.13 (4.3 BSD) 28528 on freefall.FreeBSD.org at 23:28:13 SUP Fileserver supports compression. .... etc... This is with the command 'sup standard-supfile' (-v gives the same information..) So, can I get the 'supfile' for the upgrade between 2.0.5 and 2.1.0? Also, all I'm upgrading for is to get the shared libs - I installed nntpd from the 2.1 dist and it issues the warning about the shared libraries - into the stream! and craps out. Also, how do I get the old style packages? I would like the ones to get the source code! For that matter, how the heck do I download the source code for things like /bin, /lib etc?? I've thought about just installing it on another machine and then ftp'ing a zip or tar over.. (What a royal mess...) I have the '.aa' files for slib*, but I can't find back the obscure reference to how to undo those things! (Would it be too much work to have a single zip out there someplace?? Or a Readme that says how to get them?) Or something? Sorry if I seem upset, I just can't find the path to get this upgraded and my system working... (Source to nntpd would be nice, any idea where it might be on your server? I could then just recompile and that would be that... Thanks a bunch! -Chert -- Chert Pellett, mailto: chert@dungeon.cirr.com
