If you instantly rebuild, then you can't provide any real feedback on those changes. (If you're wonder how you can provide feedback on fixes that you don't know about, it's often *more* important to get testing of a fix on the 99% that it *shouldn't* affect than on the 1% that it fixes. If you run a snapshot and it breaks, let us know. If you immediately rebuild, then, well, *yawn*) Philip Guenther

Upgrade the linker and compiler first, see
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20120823 and
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20120831
Well, a coffee-less night is... like it is.. Obviously I miss that one. My
bad. I got done.
And... did you really say 6 years old A source upgrade from
a system that old is not supported and the FAQ clearly states that:
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldBinary
Noo.. the "hardware/machine" is.. the kernel is 3 weeks old.
Just upgrade to the latest snapshot, and then compile from source.
Trying to do anything else is a waste of time.
Thanks,

Hi Misc@,
I was just trying to upgrade to -current by compiling from the
source, on an old (6 years) server. I updated make(1) first to the
latest (compiling from the source, of course) and compiling the
kernel. Using the FAQ instruction, make(1) failed at;

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20120831
or actually follow the FAQ instructions...
"5.3.2 - Install or Upgrade to closest available binary
The first step in building from source is to make sure you have the
closest available binary installed."
You upgrade to -current by installing snapshots.
Compiling from source is just what you do for fun, it is not part of the
upgrade process. I think this is made pretty clear in the FAQ.
