I know (and have done) binary updates between -RELEASE versions But 12 has a problem with -RELEASE and IPv6, which was recently fixed and MFC'd. So now I have an interesting situation in that I have two machines in the field running 11.2 that do things for me at one of the "shared colo" joints, and I would like to roll them forward -- but they have to roll forward to a reasonably-recent -STABLE.
How do I do this, say, coming from 11.2 and wanting to target 12 post the IPv6 fix MFC? (e.g. how do I specify the target, since it wouldn't be "12-RELEASE"?) I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that "12-STABLE" is not the correct means to do so. Or is it, since at first blush it doesn't blow up if I use that... but I'm hesitant to say "yeah, go at it." # freebsd-update -r 12-STABLE upgrade src component not installed, skipped Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 11.2-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed: kernel/generic world/base world/lib32 The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed: kernel/generic-dbg world/base-dbg world/doc world/lib32-dbg Does this look reasonable (y/n)? -- Karl Denninger k...@denninger.net <mailto:k...@denninger.net> /The Market Ticker/ /[S/MIME encrypted email preferred]/
