How risky is it to jump directly to 7.0 on a 5.5 system?
Upgrade would be by cvsup. I expect mergemaster
issues anyway but this system is relatively vanilla in
it's configuration. It's duty is just rsyncing other servers.
The kernel is GENERIC minus drivers plus ipfw and there are
no kldloads. Can this jump be made? I was hoping to avoid
having to make two major release jumps by doing only one.
Thanks
Not really a bed of roses.
Its a thorny road. You will stumble with packages then gcc version
then
make.conf then cvsup itself.
Cannot really remember exact thorny issues but I can tell that it
is not
straight path. Rather Install 7.0 directly then migrate the data.
Thanks for the time to respond. That was enough for me. I'm
half-way to a 6.3 installation, then will take it to 7.0. It's
surprising that I could find no specifics of the issues, only
references that it wasn't a good idea.
