You also could use this to upgrade to 7.1. I have considered that. There are a few ports installed on this system however, MySQL and Apache being the most important. How does one go about upgrading to a newer release and ensuring that the ports of "pristine" also when the upgrade is completed. I was thinking of this approach, please advise if I'm mistaken. 1) comment all installed ports from auto-loading in rc.conf 2) upgrade kernel to newest release (7.1) 3) upgrade user land applications 4) csup the ports tree 5) portupgrade -a 6) uncomment the commented lines from rc.conf 7) reboot and hope all works as planned Does this sound appropriate?

Note that it should probably be using the newly-built touch(1) at that point, so one possibility is that make(1) is confused, possibly by an incorrect clock. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ 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"

Assuming 1) you have the source tree installed, and 2) it and the kernel are of compatible versions (shouldn't be a problem here): cd /usr/src/usr.bin/touch make clean && make && make install && make clean Robert Huff ___ 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 think the correct way is to do the following: cd /usr/src/usr.bin/touch make obj && make depend && make && make install This should build the binary in a directory under /usr/obj. When it's done you can remove /usr/obj/* Not to put too fine a point on it, but it might be a good idea to start thinking about making backups...

I think that this means that the 'touch' binary is missing. See below. I had over looked that possibility but I agree now that you mention it especially in light of reading your further comments below. Touch should never complain about missing files, because one of its purposes is to create files that don't exist. So it is probably the 'touch' binary itself is missing. Try 'which touch'. It should report '/usr/bin/touch'. If it doesn't, touch is MIA. It might be saved in the lost+found directory of the partition that holds /usr/bin. The easiest way to get it back is to just build touch. Or copy it from the install/live-cd. I'ma little unclear about how to build individual programs from within the source tree. Can you please explain how I'd do this?

Touch should never complain about missing files, because one of its purposes is to create files that don't exist. So it is probably the 'touch' binary itself is missing. Try 'which touch'. It should report '/usr/bin/touch'. If it doesn't, touch is MIA. It might be saved in the lost+found directory of the partition that holds /usr/bin. The easiest way to get it back is to just build touch. Or copy it from the install/live-cd. If your source tree really is corrupt, use csup(1) to update it.

What's the simplest way to get a fresh copy of the source code for the system
Hi, My churches web server is having problems compiling world for FreeBSD 7.0-p10 (I believe I just did the csup last night). It gets to this point and then stops with this error: touch gtype-desc.h touch: No such file or directory A little history for what's going on; the server was not responding at all so I took it home to diagnose (it was at a friends house, where it's hosted). I turned it on and it booted up ok for me, which was a little odd because he told me that it wasn't doing "anything." So, I began looking the system over. Within 10 minutes the system became slow and was rather unresponsive to things. For example, saves while running vim took 20 seconds or so. Within a few minutes the kernel panicked and I had to reboot. Before the panic I noticed that there were some background file system checks going. So, since it was rebooting anyway I went into single user mode and performed fsck on all of the partitions (except the root, that was marked as clean). There were many problems fixed especially on the /usr partition. I'm betting that this missing file, gtype-desc.h, happens to have been one of the many problems fixed. At any rate, after running the file system checks I rebooted normally and everything appears to be fine. I then updated the system and kernel source code and that's when I found this problem. The kernel built ok and I've had the system running for up to 2 hours since fixing the file systems without incident. It's apparently corrupted file systems rather than hardware. Never the less, I will be turning up what smartd is monitoring because I do have it running and received no e-mail about hard drive problems. So, basically, the question for everyone here is, what's the simplest way to get a fresh source code tree so that I can build the world applications?
