Hm, do you mean update with subversion to 8.4-stable or 8.4-current? Unless you have a non default kernel there is no need to rebuild to get 8.4-stable, just run `freebsd-update fetch install' without '-r ...' and you are done. Rebuilding the system from source can break freebsd-update specially if build with custom optimizations (-O...) Anyway good to hear you managed to get your system to a supported release. -- olli _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
