Re: patches for the 6.2-RELEASE kernel
Le 28/06/2007 13:22:11+0200, Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez a écrit Thank very much for your reply. You'r welcome. For the ports i use portsnap + portmanager. I am very comfortable with this team and i get keep easily my ports up to date. I think i understand the diference between stable (RELENG_6) and release (RELENG_6_2). If i decide upgrade my 6.2-RELEASE, it will to the current (RELENG_7)?, cos with my home computer, nothing to loose and much to learn. No, after you install a Release version (for exemple you burn a ISO and install FreeBSD 6.2) you can Make classics update to fix security problem but you don't want new features (typicaly on a sever) -- You use RELENG_6_2 You want use Stable version. That's mean some new features, but not big difference (like kernel difference) etc... (typicaly you home-pc if you're some power-user and you like have new version every day ;-)) ) -- You use RELENG_6 What state of usability have just now FreBSD 7.0 CURRENT?. Can i do the upgrade using csup?. if you want participate (event just like for make test and make report) you can use HEAD. I'm never use -current not because the usability (I don't known...I never use it), but because all my computer need to be run perfectly (lots of server etc.) I can say the with STABLE (RELENG_6 actually) during 5 years the're one time it's don't work (pb with nic) but one day later after a new cycle (cvsup build-world etc.) everthing work fine. Thanks very much, in advance. No problem. HTH.

Re: patches for the 6.2-RELEASE kernel
Le 26/06/2007 à 19:40:29+0200, Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez a écrit Hi Folks. I am FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE user. i'm learning FreeBSD. Some times, i see people have a system named 6.2-RELEASE-pxx, where xx is a number. I know that -pxx are security patches, or not only security and too are patches for solve bugs?. You must update you source tree by using csup (it's integrate in FreeBSD now), with some config file like *default host=cvsup5.fr.freebsd.org compress *default release=cvs *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default delete use-rel-suffix *default tag=RELENG_6_2 src-all After that you can read the file /usr/src/UPDATING wich containt the problem each patch level fix. And it's your «job» to known if this problem affect you. My dude is: is very convenient have upgraded the kernel to this patches. I'm a home user, not a bussiness. Nothing important depend on my system. I think you're Linux user ;-) The source tree containt all systeme. What's mean the kernel and the userland (like cd/ls/etc.). Well you need to known if the patch-level is affect the userland or/and kernel. But if you've a modern PC, you can make world. For that you can do: cd /usr/src make -DNO_PROFILE buildworld make buildkernel (add KERNELCONF=you_config_name, if you've custom kernel config) make installkernel (add KERNELCONF= etc) reboot when you'r in boot menu choose item 4 for boot in single mode when you obtaint something like shell press Return, you are in single mode with only / mounted. Type : mount -a -t ufs cd /usr/src make -DNO_PROFILE installworld (this thing install all userland) mergemaster (this thing make all etc_file in /tmp and do a big diff and ask you if you want install the new file or keep the old one). logout After that you have a fresh kernel, and fresh userland. Hope that's help Regards. -- Albert SHIH Observatoire de Paris Meudon SIO batiment 15 Heure local/Local time: Mer 27 jui 2007 13:18:13 CEST ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check out csup (previously called cvsup) in the handbook. Then csup your system to RELENG_6_2 or even RELENG_6 and your ports to the latest. For the ports it's better to use portsnap. It's work very fine. Be carreful with RELENG_6 it's stable version (something like unstable in Debian). But if it's for your home computer you can use-it.

There are several ways to update the system, depending on whether you want to get binary updates via freebsd-update mechanism, or update via CSUP/CVSUP which requires a manual rebuild of the system sources. Read the fine Handbook, it's documented there in more detail than is convenient to repeat in email. One last question, what is the number of the last patch applied?. That changes over time, see: http://www.freebsd.org/security/ ...the most recent advisory (07:04.file) brings 6.2 to 6.2-RELEASE-p5. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
