Re: Can I use pkg_src to upgrade to current?
I'm an idiot. I think I put my instead of ny for the url I gave FTP. I'll
check that sometime after I get home.

At least in current, you need neither option.

You don't even need the J option when decompressing, plain old z will
work too (for all the usual compressors used with tar). Sooo much more
convenient than Linux :) (For compressing with bzip2 J would be required
of course).

One thing to note about netbsd vs. a typical linux distro, is that
there's a separation between the "base" system and the package system.
The base system in netbsd is not managed via packages, it's a set of
tarballs to unpack in /.
You can get -current binaries in
https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/
If you are on an amd64 system, fetch an updated kernel and modules at:
https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz
https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64/binary/sets/modules.tar.xz
cp /netbsd /onetbsd for backup reasons
gunzip netbsd-GENERIC.gz; cp netbsd-GENERIC /netbsd
cd /; tar xJpf /path/to/modules.tar.xz
reboot, make sure the new kernel works.
Download the rest of the files in:
https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/amd64/binary/sets/
Unpack all of them in / ('tar xJpf') except etc.tar.xz. That one will
overwrite the passwords file.
Can I use pkg_src to upgrade to current?
I'm new to BSD in general and coming from Linux. I tried pulling the binaries using the installer and it isn't working for me. Can I use pkg src to upgrade in place from release to current or do I have to build everything?
