In case there is a security update or other fix for stable freebsd-update will lift your system with one or two commands to the new stable version. freebsd-update updates not only the OS but also /usr/src Once you've done that you will love it.

Re: I want to upgrade an old (8.3-RC2) FReeBSD installation, but can't install subversion
Hi,
I did not got through the full thread to see if you found a solution.
Allow me to tell you how I generally update multiple machines no matter
in what state they are in. If they are all on the same source version,
I compile on one machine the new kernel for the target machine. I will
install it them either via NFS on other machines or via bootable media
on which I copy the newly compiled source tree and the new binaries.
When the other machine is up, I go through the normal installation
procedure for kernel and world. Be careful with mergemaster and do not
overwrite some configuration files.
It might seems awkward but I did not run into any problems since I
moved to this procedure.
You might get first a generic kernel onto an external media and upgrade
to generic if you want before compiling the 'real thing' on the target
machine.

Using freebse-update to upgrade to 9.1-RELEASE went a lot better than I expected, including upgrading the jails...something its previous admin had said wasn't possible, hence the lack of updates/upgrades. At the time, I was partly hoping that 9.3 would make an early appearance, even though it would be difficult to know if there would be any surprisesbeyond the ones I had prepared for, having run into such issues when I updated some servers from 9.1 to 9.2. But, I opted to only take them to 9.1, since at the time...9.2 was going to EOL at the end of September, while 9.1 wouldn't EOL until the end of the year. And, I had been told that they're moving sometime next quarter, so it'll be somebody else's problem when they need to upgrade again. Not sure about the fate of the other two production 9.1 servers. -- Who: Lawrence K.

If freebsd-update was used to bump to BETA, RC, PRERELEASE, etc. then it can be used to bump again to RELEASE. (I assume that this functionality isn't going away just because of package changes.)

I think it would be txz. I just browsed without downloading on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ That will lead you to where you can download either source tree (src.txz) or binary sets, your choice between 10.0-STABLE, 11-current, 10.0-RELEASE. For ports tree, I believe you can download with svnlite, included with FreeBSD >= 10.0, or portsnap. Both of these are part of the base system unless you specifically disable building them.

If you don't have the new packaging system installed and setup by then,
you're screwed... royally...
Happened somewhere between 6.x and 7.x with the ports tree, pre 8.4...
the list goes on
FWIW Torfinn, get a amd64, 8.4 make binary (from the install disk) and
manually copy it over (just /usr/bin/make ) backing up the original first.
You'll find the ports tree will then work... well until Sept 1 when all

Now, can anyone explain to me how I am going to get an updated source

AFAICT, there is nothing in /usr/ports/UPDATING about this.
So much for POLA.
Bah.

While I understandthe need to get rid of the old system, three needs ot be
a clear path for those wanting ot update old versions. I hit this yesterday
trying to upgrade a 9.0-RC2 system and it was a real pain.
Can't just do a checkout on an older machine and tar/rsync it over?

Re: I want to upgrade an old (8.3-RC2) FReeBSD installation, but can't install subversion
And this is precisely why I think the killing of the old packaging
system on Sept 1, is the wrong thing to do.
If you don't have the new packaging system installed and setup by then,
you're screwed... royally...
Happened somewhere between 6.x and 7.x with the ports tree, pre 8.4...
the list goes on
FWIW Torfinn, get a amd64, 8.4 make binary (from the install disk) and
manually copy it over (just /usr/bin/make ) backing up the original first.
You'll find the ports tree will then work... well until Sept 1 when all
hell breaks loose if you use anything but the quarterly SVN tree...
and then you'll have 90 days more..
