Re: Upgrade 6.1 to 7.1 remotely?
Robert Fitzpatrick wrote: Thanks, perfect. One of the first things it says to do is a 'portupgrade -a', which I already know clamav is going to fail. Is this going to cause problems? And if other packages fail to upgrade, I assume I should investigate each? However, I don't expect anything else because we only have mail filtering type packages on this server and all other packages we installed have upgraded fine and at their latest versions now. We're also running our own kernel with quota option. Also, from reading this doc, I'll get the GENERIC kernel with the upgrade and then I'll just need to rebuild for quotas You can try to do the steps and ignore clamav failing, then upgrade the port after the new kernel is in place. I guess there is some chance it might fail to build after the upgrade for entirely different reasons so use that info at your own risk Making a backup first might be a good idea. Once the new GENERIC is installed you can edit and rebuild to suit your taste, just like you would with a normal kernel change. ___ 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
Upgrade 6.1 to 7.1 remotely?
I have a remote system with no access to boot info. I can get someone to reset, look at screen, etc. The server is 6.1-RELEASE-p15 and wondering if there is a path to upgrade to 7.1 remotely. Would it be possible to do something like this for getting the box to 6.4... http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2006-11-26-freebsd-6.1-to-6.2-binary-upgrade.html And then another freebsd-update to 7.1? Seems that box will not let me portupgrade clamav anymore due to a change from 6.1 :( ../libclamav/.libs/libclamav.so: undefined reference to `gethostbyname_r' *** Error code 1 -- Robert ___ 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

Seems that box will not let me portupgrade clamav anymore due to a change from 6.1 :( I've upgraded several machines remotely with success (as described in the handbook) and never had any problems (even did a OpenBSD version upgrade from 3.1 to 4.1 - somewhere around 3.4 they switched from a.out to elf format). Those upgrades where both minor (eg. 6.3 - 6.4) and major (6.4 - 7.0).
