CVSUP update from 4.6 - 4.7
I have freebsd 4.6 release and I am interesting to update it to 4.7 via CVSUP The box is located 3000 Kms away and I can only connect via ssh. a) How much space is required in order to make a buildworld (downloading CVSUP, compiling, installing) b) What is the best failsafe method, so in case I do this and happen to have an error, my system will continue to operate on the 4.6? As I said I am too far away to go to fix it there... c) Can somebody point me or give me a sample CVSUP configuration for updating to the 4.7 release? d) Are there any tips for remote updates/buildworld? I know that is not suggested but I find too difficult to live with all the critical bugs that 4.6 has and I would like to get rid of them. e) Do I have to compile only a kernel on 4.7 or to make a buildworld too for the new binaries to be replaced? If I compile only a 4.7 kernel and my binaries are 4.6 will this poses any trouble? Thanks in advance guys!

As I said I am too far away to go to fix it there... From personal experience, update sources, rm -rf /usr/obj/*, compile world, compile kernel, drop to single user, install world, install kernel, reboot. If they both compile, it's a good bet they'll run. You can happily compile the new world and kernel, that is 100% sure to not screw anything up, as they both stay under /usr/obj/. You can do what you want, it's still 4.6 until you install them. c) Can somebody point me or give me a sample CVSUP configuration for updating to the 4.7 release? *default host=cvsup2.uk.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr/local *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_7_0_RELEASE *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress That's mine. Change the host to a local one is all you should need to do. d) Are there any tips for remote updates/buildworld? I know that is not suggested but I find too difficult to live with all the critical bugs that 4.6 has and I would like to get rid of them. uh... be careful? Other than that, I wouldn't know. e) Do I have to compile only a kernel on 4.7 or to make a buildworld too for the new binaries to be replaced? If I compile only a 4.7 kernel and my binaries are 4.6 will this poses any trouble? Very bad idea to only compile a new kernel. Compile the world and the kernel if you want to be sure they won't screw up somehow. Thanks in advance guys!

Actually, if you're going to do a complete buildworld, you'll need more like 750Mb total, most of which is in /usr/src and /usr/obj: happy-idiot-talk:~:% du -sh /usr/src /usr/obj 296M/usr/src 417M/usr/obj plus a few more Mb for the cvsup stuff and so forth.
