Upgrading from 11.0-CURRENT to 11.0-RELEASE

[balanga]

I'm currently running FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT have just tried to upgrade using:

freebsd-update -r 11.0-RELEASE upgrade

Apparently you can't upgrade from a CURRENT release, so I'm wondering what my options might be... Can I install 11.0-RELEASE over my existing installation without deleting my already installed PKGs?

Just do a source update to /base/releng/11.0.

Just do a source update to /base/releng/11.0.

Are their any step by step instructions on how to do this? I can't help thinking the process could be rather error prone for someone who has never done this before.

rm -rf /usr/src/* && svnlite https://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/11.0

Then follow the handbook building world: 23.6. Rebuilding World

Is there something missing?

Ah, it should be svnlite https://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/11.0 /usr/src/. I forgot the /usr/src/ at the end.
