I left out, read /usr/src/UPDATING in the -current source tree, there are a lot of other steps... the above just gets your stuff built.

At this point, the only way to build -current on a -stable system is make buildworld; make buildkernel. Make sure that KERNCONF is defined in /etc/make.conf. You'll probably want to read -current and cvs-all for a while before you finish the upgrade though HTH, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
getting back to current
I've just finished going thru another medical session, this one took about 5 months, and because of the extended time spent away, I'm running 4.5 (I've been running current since 1.1, this feels really odd). I need a little bit of help (or advice, maybe) to get me back to current. I just finished cvsupping, and the main sources built just fine. I installed a new config (static, the libs are now too old) and fixed all the changes in my config file, so now my kernel file configs but it doesn't build (breaks in 'make depend', I think in genassym). I'm guessing that this is only one of a string of incompatibilities, in jumping from 4.5 back to current. I could drag myself thru fixing the bugs I'm hitting, but I was wondering if I could get someone to use my config file (on freefall, APRIL and APRIL.hints, in ~chuckr/) and build me a kernel and a set of modules. I'm asking this because my health isn't yet back fully, and I would like to shortcut this a bit. [my FreeBSD machine is april.chuckr.org, hence the config filename]. I'm not sure what changes have occurred in kernel/module installation, but *you'd* have to be really sure about that, because I wouldn't want someone to scrag their system whilst doing me a favor. If you're not certain, please don't even offer, I'd hate to be the cause of your system meltdown. I appreciate any consideration I get ...
