You demonstrated a valid argument for building from source. Using freebsd-update, a binary method is used for updating the _default_ system and the GENERIC kernel. If you have custom settings and therefore _intend_ to build from source, changing the version in your "svn co" command to the new -RELEASE-pX branch (security update branch) is safe. I've been using a similar approach with CVS to follow the -STABLE branch with a custom kernel and custom settings for building the system. If this makes me old, I should deserve several birthday parties per year. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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"

Not sure if this is logic or "religon", but freebsd-update makes me nervous. I'm allergic to automatic anything unless I've written it. The only times I've run generic is when installing a new system, to see what I need and what I don't.

freebsd 9.2 via svn
Hello list, Is it "safe" to start using 9.2 in the svn repos? I have a line like this in a daily crontab: svn co svn://svn.us-east.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src Can I change that 9.1 to 9.2 now, or should I wait? I aim to follow 9.2-R with security updates. thanks, -- John ___ 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"
