I tried this in a lab server running 8.3-RELEASE-p4. The only complaint during freebsd-update fetch was this: The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have been downloaded because the files have been modified locally: /var/db/mergemaster.mtree But it wanted to update a lot more files than just the latest patches to p5. Mostly files in /rescue, but also files belonging to openssl, crypt and ipv6, ie previous patches that I already had installed. So it didn't recognize that I already had installed those patches. Anyway, I ran freebsd-update install, and it finished without complaints. Then I rebooted and the server seems fine. /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh now has these lines: REVISION="8.3" BRANCH="RELEASE-p5" However, freebsd-update IDS reports more than 23000 non-matching files, so I will instead try using cvs tag RELENG_8_3_0_RELEASE and see how freebsd-update behaves after install of that kernel and world. The complaints about /var/db/mergemaster.mtree will probably continue, but I suppose I can install another lab server from 8.3 install media and copy that file from there? Another question: I like to read the file /usr/src/UPDATING before installing patches, but freebsd-update doesn't seem to bother with that file. What is the easiest way of accessing a current /usr/src/UPDATING for the RELENG branches, without using cvs or subversion? I thought it would be located at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/?only_with_tag=RELENG_8_3 but there is no UPDATING in that list. Thanks!

Certainly try it on a non-critical system first, and take proper consideration for the potential vulnerabilities that will come back until freebsd-update succeeds. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

RELENG_9_0 and RELENG_8_3 are RELEASE branches including patches (8.3-RELEASE-p4 for instance), so you should be able to use freebsd-update ont them without changing anything. If the servers are up to date then freebsd-update doesn't have to do anything for them untill the next paches for them come around.

How go back from X.Y-RELEASE-pZ to X.Y-RELEASE?
We are currently using cvs for both source and ports. I have begun changing to portsnap for ports, and I would also like to try changing at least some of our servers to freebsd-update. But all servers have been patched, using either RELENG_8_3 or RELENG_9_0 as cvs tag. I need to revert them to their respective RELEASE to be able to use freebsd-update. Complete reinstall from eg CD is not an option, and I don't want to upgrade to a newer RELEASE at the moment. Can I change the cvs tags to RELENG_8_3_0_RELEASE or RELENG_9_0_0_RELEASE, and then build/install world and kernel as usual? Or will that method cause problems for the system or the installed ports?
