I have a few outdated jails on my system that I would like to update. I wanted to know a couple of things, as it has been some time since I have updated these jails.
I have have updated my source tree on the host system via cvsup and by following this tutorial: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/freebsd-cvsup-update-system-applications/ but did not do a [cmd=]make buildworld[/cmd] I did not do this because I use freebsd-update to patch my system, and I did not want to have to go through the painful and lengthy process of doing an entire build from world. That being said, is simply updating the source in /usr/src enough to then do a [cmd=]make buildworld[/cmd] and point it to the jails as a destination directory? I thought this was possible, but when I tried that via this tutorial: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-upgrade-freebsd-jail-vps/ I got some compilation errors, some of which involving the failure to find certain files it needed.
I will be happy to provide additional output, but wanted to post that initial question and see where the conversation takes us since it will dictate my next steps.
Thanks in advance.
