Hello,
Two little questions about freebsd-update "best-practices":
1) These are the output when I start a "freebsd-update upgrade" on two different systems. On the first one, everything ok, on the second, the sources are still there and I would like to get rid of them:
sys1:
sys2:
Just to be sure: is this correct that I can just remove these 2 directories completely:
- /usr/src (500MB)
- /usr/obj/usr/src (1304MB)
and that it would solve my "problem" ? Or is there a list of "installed components" somewhere that should be updated too? (I tried by renaming these 2 dirs and running freebsd-update again and it seemed to work, but I've not found that in the documentations I checked)
2) directory "/var/db/freebsd-update/files" is getting large after a few upgrades (800M-1.2GB): can it be deleted after an upgrade, once I am sure a rollback will not be necessary for example? Or should rather the while directory /var/db/freebsd-update be trashed ?
Thanks & regards,
Olivier
PS: maybe these information would be useful to other? Putting them under http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html may be an idea...
