Hi All, I'm tempted to upgrade some machines in my test network to 4.9 from 4.8 (since the new KAME snap kits are configured to 4.9 over 4.8 now and if I want to be fashionable and bleedy, I'd better keep updated) and so I am wondering what the best way to do this is and anypitfalls...
OK, here is what I think I should do... cvsup the source tree to 4.9 make world cvsup the ports tree um... and that's where I come unstuck... is there a method (other than de-installing all pkgs and reisntalling) to upgrade the ports or packages appropriately from 4.8 to 4.9? I guess there is a gap in my knowledge here about how the freebsd software "state" changes... e.g. how does one avoid clashes and incompatabilities in a large complex collection of software that is continually changing? -- Dr Paul van den Bergen Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures caia.swin.edu.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM:bulwynkl2002 "And some run up hill and down dale, knapping the chucky stones to pieces wi' hammers, like so many road makers run daft.
