Re: Upgrading 9.1-BETA1 - 9.1-RC1
from Maarten Billemont lhun...@lyndir.com: I've installed a FreeBSD server using the BETA1 release because RC1 was delayed. I notice the 9.1-RC1 is available now, so I thought I'd upgrade ASAP. The following command, however, fails me: freebsd-update -r 9.1-RC1 upgrade Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.

Upon inspection of the code, it appears BETA1's ssl.pub cannot be found at any of the mirrors, and as such the process aborts. The release notes for RC1 specifically mention freebsd-update. How do I perform a correct update to RC1, and why is the freebsd-update flow failing me or not supported? Thanks!

Re: FreeBSD 9.1-RC1 Available...
from Peter Wemm pe...@wemm.org: As a data point.. if you're talking about stable/9, then that is still available via cvs/csup/cvsup as RELENG_9. If you track 9-stable, you're unaffected. I got two private emails about this. To be clear, yes, if you're tracking RELENG_9, you will get 9.1-STABLE, and future 9.2 things just like before. All that is missing is the release management branch. But there will never be a RELENG_10* anything in cvs. from Ken Menzel kenfree...@icarz.com: As I see no answered your real question. But I agree with them: yes you can still use csup or cvsup for releng_9 (stable 9). But as to your question, if you are switching to svn to try it out: In my experience I had to remove (rm -rf /usr/src) /usr/src or the old files remained. The checkout process did not update the existing files. But maybe I did something wrong. Tools other than cvs and cvsup are unaffected. You can still use portsnap or make fetch in /usr/ports etc. Ken This should help get me started. I could even attempt to cover both bases with cd /usr mv src src-csup mkdir src and be ready to go with svn. But since I could run csup again if needed/desired, this might be overkill, unless I want to compare the file formats. It looks like it would be easier to keep track of revision number with svn than with csup. If svn is going to be the main tool for keeping up to date with source, then subversion ought to become part of the base system. I might some day want to try 10-current (HEAD) on a different partition, then csup will not work at all to get the source.

how can i do now?
I have the same port version here, and I can get to the
configuration menu. First of all, make sure you have done
# make rmconfig
And then you should see no error message when doing
# make configure
And in the menu, do _not_ select PDF_MANUALS. Having
examined the port's Makefile for the BROKEN variable
and other options that might trigger it, it seems
that the R port has significant problems regarding
its documentation.

Then you should be able to continue building (will possibly pull

If this doesn't work, again remove the configuration and re-enter
it by make configure: Then deselect INFO_MANUALS also. As I

Keywords are MDOCS and MINFO_MANUALS here. So if the problem
might be inherited from other ports (mdoc related?), you could
do
# make rmconfig-recursive
followed by
# make config-recursive
to visit and carefully check all configuration screens that might
have an option that triggers the BROKEN mechanism, possibly
related to some info, texinfo, teTex or other dependency for the
documentation of R.
Finally, you could try to install R from package (via pkg_add -r).
The Makefile doesn't define RDEPS (runtime dependencies), so that
should be relatively easy. The LaTeX dependency seems to be a
build dependency (see Makefile excerpt above).
If you don't have success with any advice, maybe file a ports PR.
