Hello all,
Thanks for the awesome OS!
I am a Linux user and I just started using FreeBSD. It is awesome, and
the Handbook as well!
I am following Chapter 24 of the Handbook to update my system.
First I completed the freebsd-update
Then I ran portupgrade -av
Then I ran portsnap.
When I decided what to make PACKAGESITE I picked 8.0-RELEASE (not STABLE
or CURRENT). I also mirrored the entire 20GB i386 8.0-RELEASE package
set. I live in South-Africa and my ADSL is slow and expensive, so having
the whole collection locally 'helps' :)
Now here is my question.
After I ran portsnap fetch extract, I ran portupgrade and got quite a
fright. What does portsnap want to download? 8.0-RELEASE or STABLE?
I did not mirror the ports because that would be really big, so it will
cost me a lot of time to upgrade with portupgrade.
Is there a way to do this with the binary packages instead? Or am I
doing something wrong?
Any pointers for this n00b would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Coert
