Be better to find out what is wrong. It is unclear exactly what you are trying to achieve, so I'll try some crystal- ball gazing. Going from 8.1 to HEAD might actually be broken at any one given point in time. Not always, but the possibility exists. If you are dead set on this, read the -CURRENT list for hints on breakage. If you are trying to set up a server for use in some form of stable environment I would suggest not using -CURRENT, but rather consider the security branch of either 8.1-RELEASE or 8.2-RELEASE. The csup tags are RELENG_8_1 and RELENG_8_2 respectively. Example supfile: *default host=cvsup.nl.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8_2 *default delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all Then cd to /usr/obj and do rm -rf *. This will remove leftovers of previous failed build attempts. Once this is cleaned up and you have the correct source (such as 8.2-RELEASE security branch), then just cd /usr/src and kick off the dance with a make buildworld. I just updated 9 machines from 8.2 to the 8.2 security branch and experienced zero trouble. I can't speak to whether -CURRENT will build, as my boxen are for production use and not for development work. If you continue to have a problem trying to update to RELENG_8_2 you are doing something wrong. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org you might consider releng_9 as well as the next major release is on the verge of going out. Releng_9 will currently give you beta3 of 9.0-release. I have been using 9 for a while now as have many others and it has proven to be a very stable platform. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
