What, like /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile? Although there's a bit of a twist to how it works: the standard-supfile installed on your system will have the CVS tag inside it appropriate to the branch you have installed. So, on a 4.9-STABLE it contains: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 whilst on 4.9-RELEASE-pX it contains: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_9 and on 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 it contains: *default release=cvs tag=. Oh well. Can't win them all: I'd expect tag=. to be correct for 5-CURRENT, and for 5.2.1-RELEASE-p1 to have tag=RELENG_5_2 What ever, you can download the appropriate supfile from the CVS repository, and it's fairly obvious how to modify the file for other branches: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile?rev=1.17.2.6&content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=RELENG_4 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile?rev=1.17.2.6.6.1&content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_9 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile?rev=1.22&content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=RELENG_5_2 Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

While in 4.9-RELEASE to STABLE, mergmaster is needed as is a rebuild of the kernel. Once those have been accomplished, a simple make world does the trick. As I stated, and does the handbook, make world IS the traditional way of compiling and installing your src tree. When done in the correct steps, works very well. I for one refuse to adopt the new way untill I moved to 5.1 - then it was simply a matter if having too. I have always done make world up untill 4.9-STABLE without issues, as many other users. So perhaps I didn't clarify my points (as I'm doing now). I believe in the users case of 4.9, make world (with the proper steps involved) is and will continue to be ba a viable way of compiling your src tre and upgrading your system. Otherwise, the handbook would have removed that all togather. You must remember, there are many of us that sometime refuse to adopt new ways of doing things unless need requires it - now that I run 5.2.1, I use the new style and actually like it. make world has worked for me since 2.2.6 and I hated to see it go.

That is really true. If you had done a make world going from 5.1 to 5.2, you would have had to use the fixit disk to recover your system. If that didn't work, you would have had to do a reinstall. The only safe step is make kernel. The rest are separated for your benefit. There was an upgrade in the binutils by O'Brien around 4.0 or 4.1 and make world didn't work there either. There have also been a few occasions when a new kernel would immediately panic. If you found this out during your boot to single user mode, it wasn't a big deal because you could load the old kernel and continue as if nothing was wrong until it was fixed. If you had used make world and you had a completely updated system, recovery was much more involved.

To follow up - the reason for the UPDATING file and the layout of rebuilding your system is to guide users that are upgrading from 4.x to 5.x You will see vast changes in the way the kernel is handled in 5.x along with /dev However, reading that file explains this in detail. Simply moving from 4.9-RELEASE to 4.9-STABLE and the patches isn't considered a major upgrade. A simple rebuild of the kernel and a simple make world does work well in this instance. -- Best regards, Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yeah; but it's the upgrade I'm unclear about. You'd think there be some standard supfile template to upgrade your OS. - Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Sigh. I was afraid of that. What exactly should I put in the supfile? Is there a standard template for upgrading to STABLE? The only time I ever cvsup-ed, things went really wrong. - Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: Where is 4.9-STABLE?
then were did you look ? www.freebsd.org -> getting freebsd -> ftp sites ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.9/ for example, but you are suggested to take a closer mirror than this server. it's all on the website, note that you need to upgrade after installing the stuff, since iso's are always outdated. cheers -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene mrtg.grunn.org Dutch mirror of MRTG -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mark Verzonden: zaterdag 6 maart 2004 12:47 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Where is 4.9-STABLE?

ISO images are not made of a constantly changing source, you will need to install 4.9-RELEASE and then update with cvsup to 4.9-STABLE source, and make world.
