I wish this was an option for me but the contracted machine is in CW's
network operation center, not mine. I have no access to there machine
besides remote root.

Hi,
I need some advice on steps for upgrading a very valueble
machine. This machine has an uptime of 393 days. I need to
install a secure version of curl this is our main focus right
now. FreeBSD 3.5 ports collection is very b0rked and nothing
works, I tried downloading the cvsup source and installing it,
but now it cant find m3build.
My main focus is getting this OS to 4.9-STABLE the SAFE way and
Yes its a contracted machine so its remote. I know there is
going to be tons of b0rked programs when I'm all said and done.
Can someone please explain how to tackle this animal slowly, I
was thinking 4.0 then 4.5 then 4.9.
If I can avoid this all together and install a secured version
of curl it would be appreaciated. I really cant find the
source anywhere.
No clue what it would take to cvsup that... but what I would do is
throw together a 4stable install together on another similar box and
take care of all the tweakings, data importing, and ect. Then when
that machines scheduled downtime/maintance/whatever arrivces swap out
either the drive or the entire machine.
