Hi John,
I just updated 2 machines to 4.7. I am not sure you (or I) completely understand the RELENG thing, but the easiest way to upgrade is to run cvsup with the standard-supfile and then follow the instructions in the Handbook on Using make world - section 21.4.
It worked like a charm for me, and I am not an expert programmer or administrator.
HTH,
PJ
I am still trying to upgrade from RELENG_4_5 to RELENG_4_6 by means of 'cvsup'. I am still failing to build a usable 'ncurses' library. Has anyone sorted this out? I suppose the problem might be in generating the dependencies or needing a newer 'make', but it reports as a compiler error in a file which identical with the version which compiles fine in RELENG_4_5.If I instead download the 4.6 CD images and make a CDROM, can I upgrade while preserving my configuration information? (Naturally I know the kernel would have some items I don't use, but I want to keep users, their directories, network setup, etc.) 'Handbook' and 'Complete FreeBSD' pointers welcome for the smoothest upgrade path.
