Ports upgrade within Jail
Hello List, i have a jail hosted on a 6-2 RELEASE machine i don't have access to. As i don't have access, i can't upgrade the base system. But i would like to keep the ports i use up to date. Will i encounter problems if i just upgrade my ports using portsnap and portmaster? or will those tools be aware of the version my base system is and only use ports that are made for this version? -- Thank you manuel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The components of your jail are totally seperate from the host. You can use portsnap, or cvsup, or csup (can you? not sure) to update *your* ports collection. Only things which won't work are kernel drivers etc, you can't load them. But for the rest, no problem at all.

Re: Ports upgrade within Jail
The only common between the jail and the hosted system are the kernel and its drivers. You may use entirely different ports in the base system and into the jailed enviroment. So you may keep your jailed ports up to date without any concern as long as they do not conflict with the base system drivers and etc. Regards, Ivailo Tanusheff Deputy Head of IT Department ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria) AD Druckbar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07.08.2008 13:15 To freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc Subject Ports upgrade within Jail Hello List, i have a jail hosted on a 6-2 RELEASE machine i don't have access to.
