On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 12:44:26PM -1000, Clifton Royston thus spake:
OK, so I'm a late adopter - up til now I've always upgraded FreeBSD
machines from source or picking the update from a CD, but I decided to
try freebsd-update to finally get my home machine from 6.4 to 7.1 (and
thence hopefully to 8.1).
Everything went well up through the merge steps, until I noticed a
merge I had forgotten to resolve in /etc/hosts.allow, so at the
"Does this look reasonable (y/n)?" prompt I answered 'n', thinking that
would put me back into the editor.
Instead it dumped me to the command line and aborted the update
completely.
How can I continue from here without downloading and applying 29000+
patches all over again, not to mention having to manually resolve the
updated $FreeBSD lines in a ton of config files? (Or worse, having it
try to apply patches which have already been applied?)
I just tried typing "sudo freebsd-update install" and
"sudo freebsd-update install -r 7.1-RELEASE" but that gives me:
I've never run this command for a specific release.
"No updates are available to install."
What happens if you run "freebsd-update install" ?
If you haven't installed anything, there is nothing to rollback. A
feature that is part of freebsd-update.
Is there some way to resume where I left off?
I'm not aware of any method to do this, other than to remove everything
under /var/db/freebsd-update and start from the beginning.
