[Asterisk-bsd] upgrade freebsd from 6.0

[Rosli Sukri]

I assume that when you said not reinstalling means that you dont do a
format/clean reinstall from medium. I also assume you have cvsup installed.
If you dont have cvsup installed just do a pkg_add -vr cvsup or use sysinstall
to install it

- backup your stuffs (i.e your /etc/*, /usr/local/etc/*)

- use cvsup to update the latest srcs
> cvsup -g -L2 -z /etc/cvsupfile

- say your prayers :p

- update the kernel
> cd /usr/src
> make buildkernel
> make installkernel

- build and install the binaries> cd /usr/src
> make buildworld
> make installworld

- here my cvsupfile
# this is /etc/cvsupfile
# modded by rosli 20060216

#*default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
#*default host=cvsup.sg.freebsd.org
*default host=cvsup2.jp.freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

*default release=cvs tag=.
ports-all
# end /etc/cvuspfile

- you might want to also merge your /etc files
drop to single user mode

> mount -a
> cd /usr/src
