binary upgrade 6.2
Hi! I am trying to upgrade a 6.2-RELEASE to 6.4-RELEASE, but `freebsd-update -r 6.4-RELEASE upgrade` is not available in this version. Can i upgrade this or do i have to go the old way? Unfortunately the `pkg_add -r cvsup` does not find the package for it.

Unfortunately the `pkg_add -r cvsup` does not find the package for it. Might it be possible to install the csup port from /usr/ports/net and use that instead of cvsup? IIRC it's compatible with cvsup and uses the same config, but does not require M3 etc. Another option might be pkg_add -r csup, or the cvsup-without-gui port.

I should remember it, but it's a few years ago i had to admin BSD systems. ___ 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

There are instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.3R/announce.html under FreeBSD Update. and also more details on C. Percival's blog: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-10-freebsd-minor-version-upgrade.html Done this for 6.2 to 6.3 back in the day, and it worked fine. I believe you will have no trouble going to 6.4 as well. Just a quick note: Make sure you have enough space under /var. There is a /var/freebsd-update directory there that holds a lot of data during the upgrade, and later releases always bring in more data. If /var is mostly full, symlink /var/freebsd-update somewhere in /usr. This has saved me once. ___ 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
