I put some stuff in /etc/make.conf. Then I execute the following
command to fetch the most recent sources from the server:
cd /usr/src
make update
Then, follow the process outlined in /usr/src/UPDATING to rebuild the
system. I do:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld buildkernel installkernel
shutdown now
mergemaster -p
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot
You may have to adjust this sequence of commands depending on your
config and on what /usr/src/UPDATING says.
Please do read the chapter "Staying current with ..."; it explains
this better than I can. I only included the above to show that it
doesn't take many commands.
Here are the lines I put in /etc/make.conf. Please adjust!
SUP_UPDATE= yes
SUPHOST= cvsup2.de.freebsd.org
SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
DOCSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile
