Upgrading very old installation

There is a strong argument to be made for (re-)installing when moving across a major version boundary. Whan crossing more than one, the case becomes even more formidable. And installing to a new disk allows you to use the old one as a (hardware-enforced) read-only backup. The only two reasons I can think of for upgrading in place are a) you cannot afford or have no access to a new disk or b) you cannot make a reliable backup (which carries its own set of risks).

This was only and issue as whoever had built to box i inherited had used the ad0s1a format ones so on rebooting to 8.x we had issues. A quick edit of fstab fixed the issue though.

Also, from the teTeX homepage: I (Thomas Esser) have decided not to make new releases of teTeX any more (May 2006). The information below might get out of date as time goes by. I suggest anybody interested in teTeX to join the TeX Live project. So teTeX is effectively EOL.

Did the usual make kernel / world stuff mergemaster prebuild in the middle and mergemaster after the update then I rebuilt all the ports. I recently did a 6.4-STABLE 8.2-RELEASE-p2 migration to another server, but without using only some initial old config files from the old system because I had to build a better environment with other software for the same role (almost the same thing that Matt recommended you). For me this is a longer procedure then updating all the software and checking for maybe now deprecated options and other problems. So I think its down to your level of knowledge and personal preference ( whether you want to check what is to problem in case something goes wrong- I like this because I get to know the system and the inner workings in more detail). I personally don't like freebsd-update, and if your are new to the build from source way, you should really go with building up from scratch, then migrate. In case you want to update have a WORKING backup, and do a test run for the update (restore your 6.4 on a test machine and try to update it) before you bring down the productive system. Good luck!

Progress Report: OpenNMS under FreeBSD
I have OpenNMS-1812 running under FreeBSD 8.2, specifically within a VirtualBox instance running FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 itself running under FreeBSD 8.2 amd64. There were a lot of issues. By running I mean: * A PostgreSQL database is built, running, and initialized, * OpenNMS starts and displays its web page, and * I can log into that web page with wonderfulness displayed on my browser. PostgreSQL and OpenNMS seem happy. However, I have not yet configured OpenNMS to talk to any devices. Issues included: * Sometimes you have to specify JAVA_HOME in the environment and other times you MUST NOT. * I didn't see any indication of what version of PostgreSQL to install so I mistakenly installed 9.1. I later backed down to 8.4. * OpenNMS requires UTF8 for PostgreSQL but the default install does not include it. (BTW, I rebuilt the database many times.) * I had to suck instrumentationLogReader-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar out of a Linux RPM because the OpenNMS install script could not download it from anywhere. * I had to set the Java proxies for my site. * Many OpenNMS files, such as .xml and .sql files, install with the execute bit set. I'm not sure if that is my fault or the install process' fault. Nonetheless, it shouldn't be that way. * Creation and permissions of PostgreSQL entities wasn't obvious to me. Where to change the OpenNMS files to alter their passwords also wasn't obvious. * I did not like the default installation point for the PostgreSQL database and moved it to /var/db. * I do not like where OpenNMS installs its log files. I prefer to create something like /var/log/nms. That said, for now I'm not going to touch them and hope they are nicely managed. Some of these issues stem from the fact that I am not a Java guy, I am not a PostgreSQL guy, I preferred my database not to be resident on my NMS, my network doesn't NAT for non-interfacing hosts (by design), and virtualization, which itself was a non-issue. BTW, this is one of two sites I plan to deploy OpenNMS under similar construct. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I encountered the same problems with default tetex, but installed TeXLive from DVD and I no longer have these problems :) But like Roland says, some ports depend on teTeX still and this is where I hope that developers find ways around them :) What I did was install TeXLive but keep my teTeX installation. My $PATH is such that TeXLive binaries are picked up first but the teTeX installation satisfies those ports that depend on it. which seems kind of hackish, and it doesn't solve the OP's problem of not being able to build teTeX on 8.2 amd64 (unless there's a prior amd64 package to fall back on). Presumably, if TeXLive is truly a drop-in, all a TeXLive port needs to do is drop it in and then register it so that other ports know it's available. There's a mechanism in portmaster -- and I imagine in other port-management tools also -- to replace a dependency on port A with a dependency on an alternative port B. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Problems with sshd
I manage a small hobby website for some friends. The system has been running fine for quite a while, but suddenly the owners are having problems using WinSCP to transfer files to the server. The only thing that has changed recently is their internet service, and I'm inclined to think that's the cause. They are using a Verizon hotspot, whatever that is. (They live in the country, and options for internet service are limited.) But I'm the thorough sort, so I've enabled verbose logging and been googling for possible causes. One thing I've noticed is that their IP address changes quite frequently, but this snippet from the log shows that it also happens with the same IP. (I changed the username to protect their privacy.) Checking the archived logs, which go back several months, the error: ssh_msg_send: write entry appears occasionally whenever they login using WinSCP, so I assume it's some incompatibility about the program that rears its ugly head from time to time. I suspect it has no significance wrt this particular problem. Any thoughts on possible things to check for would be most welcome.
