The steps I have for updating from source (from the 6 or 7 release timeframe):
In the handbook I read these are the current steps:
As you can see they are mostly the same except for some slight differences, such as,
1) I run a [cmd=]swapon[/cmd] and handbook doesn't say to.
2) After the first reboot into single user mode, the handbook has [cmd=]mergemaster[/cmd] without any options, whereas I use -Ui
3) I run a [cmd=]make delete-old[/cmd] and the handbook doesn't.
4) After a reboot I run a [cmd=]make delete-old-libs[/cmd] but the handbook doesn't.
5) Why [cmd=]adjkerntz -i[/cmd] after updating?
Can someone explain these differences to me and if my method needs to be updated to change those few steps?
Code:
# csup -g -L 2 standard-supfile
# cd /usr/src
# make cleanworld && make cleandir
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM
# make installkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM
# nextboot -o "-s" -k kernel
# reboot
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# swapon -a
# mergemaster -p
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# make delete-old
# mergemaster -Ui
# portsnap fetch update
# portmaster -Da
# reboot
# cd /usr/src
# make delete-old-libs
In the handbook I read these are the current steps:
Code:
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
# shutdown -r now
(boot -s from loader prompt)
# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# adjkerntz -i
# mergemaster -p
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot
