It seems that 4.9 is rapidly on its way to becoming RELEASE, which is a good thing. I'm currently running 4.8-p3 on my production server, and I don't have a spare to build then move over, so it will be an in place upgrade.
Which upgrade path would be the best? CVS or installing from a binary ISO CD?
If CVS, I'm assuming I need to add *default tag=RELENG_4_9 when it's released to my cvsup file to grab it, or do I need to start tracking stable RELENG_4?
My hunch is CVS will be the better way to do it, and the last time I tried upgrading the system with a binary, it exploded (learned then don't do a binary upgrade when it's running the kernel and multiuser, thank god for backups).
What is the recommendation of folks on this list?
To go from RELENG_4_8 to RELENG_4_9, probably the simplest and least hassleful method is to cvsup the RELENG_4_9 sources, and then do a normal {build,install}{world,kernel} job. There's not much point in your tracking RELENG_4, unless you want to practice at upgrading.
Is RELENG_4_9 already available at all?
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html
does not mention it. That's why i am tracking RELENG_4.
