--- Comment #18 from Robert Clausecker <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Mark Millard from comment #17) Such a procedure requires disassembling the machine to access the storage from another device and is thus fairly cumbersome. Last time I checked, upgrading does not really work with this mechanism either as upgrading involves running some binaries to merge configuration and such, which doesn't work when cross-building. It is additionally not documented anywhere. Is this really how we want things to be? It is a reasonable expectation that any FreeBSD system should be able to upgrade itself following procedures given in the handbook with no external computer needed. Yes, upgrading is important to me. I absolutely do not want to set up the system anew every time a new release comes out. This is repulsive and a huge waste of time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are on the CC list for the bug.
