Subject: Re: How to better update a jail host system
Regarding the distributions which you haven't installed: you can
exclude parts from building/installation. If you have a 7.x system,
you can do "man src.conf" for all the options
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=src.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&;
manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE&format=html). 6.x has similar options, but
IIRC you have to specify them in
make.conf.
I've spent some time on the past days to find how to build a world
which contains only the "Binary base" and "man" distributions (as I
always select from the sysinstall menu options during the first server
setup), but I didn't found any article or man page which helped me.
I don't know exactly what is in the binary and man dists, but what you
need to do is either to just grab the new dists from an FTP server and
extract them over the old ones, or to have a look what is installed by
a make world what is not in those dists and have a look for WITHOUT_
knobs which exclude those parts from the build/install. There may be
not enough WITHOU_ knobs to produce those dists, as they are generated
in a different way (make release).
Bye,
Alexander.
