Hold on, just the kernel or the kernel and world. You have to keep these in sync on FreeBSD.Greetings!
I'm a newcomer to FreeBSD, an immigrant from the wonderful world of Slackware Linux. Finished installing on Sunday!
I wanted to make sure the system was up to date with regard to security
fixes etc so used cvsup to upgrade source and re-built the kernel - it
all went like a dream - what a system!! What documentation!!
Just checking because I hear you can just upgrade the linux kernel to your hearts content without messing with the other stuff on the system.
Enough rapture! Here's the question Having installed 5.3 from cd, I performed the above upgrade once and found that I was at version 6 Current! Back to the drawing board and started again with the following line in my cvsup file
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
Better - I only find myself with a pre-release 5.4 :-)
That is fine, but at the point when 5.4 becomes the production release, I would like simply to track that for security fixes etc rather than follow the stable developement branch.
Can I acheive that simply by putting
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4
into my cvsup file, at the right time -ie as soon as 5.4 becomes a production release? ? Or will there be such complications that it would be best to perform yet another install (which is smooth but slow on my set-up).
Thanks in advance
