(1) Update Security Patches
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
(2) Upgrade Major and Minor Version --- kernel and base
freebsd-update -r 9.1-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now
freebsd-update install
portmaster -f
freebsd-update install
(3) Update ports collection
# CVSUP and CSUP were phased out, now use portsnap instead
rm –rf /usr/ports
portsnap fetch update
# equivalent to “portsnap fetch”+”portsnap extract”+”portsnap update”
(4) Update the documentation sources
rm -rf /usr/doc
svn checkout https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/doc/head /usr/doc
svn update /usr/doc
(5) Update source tree
rm -rf /usr/src
svn checkout svn://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/base/releng/9.1 /usr/src
svn update /usr/src
(6) Build "world" --- kernel and base [ ref : /usr/src/Makefile ]
cd /usr/obj
chflags -R noschg *
rm -rf *
cd /usr/src
make cleandir
make cleandir
# Read /usr/src/UPDATING for update procedure
# Check /etc/make.conf
# Check /etc/src.conf
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
Reboot into single user mode
fsck -p
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs
swapon -a
adjkerntz -I # <--- ensure Time-zone setting correctly
mergemaster -p
cd /usr/src
make installworld
make check-old
yes | make delete-old
mergemaster # <---- ( or mergemaaster -i -U )
# –i –U added to automatically install files that don’t exist and upgrade those that haven’t changed
Reboot
cd /usr/src
make delete-old-libs <--- in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore
? portmaster -f
# There were some changes to the configuration files left in /var/tmp/temproot.
# Examine these and merge them into your config files.
