Upgrading DragonFlyBSD

I always forget how to do this, so I'm documenting it here. The DragonFlyBSD website is quite good and this all comes from www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/newhandbook/Upgrading Firstly, make sure the Makefile is present: # cd /usr # make src-create and wait while it does it's thing. Then we need to get the new source to build it: # cd /usr/src # git checkout DragonFlyBSD_RELEASE_3_8 (which is the current one) To find out what the current one is: # cd /usr/srv # git pull # git branch -r Then the build and upgrade process: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # make install world # make upgrade # reboot And it should all be done.
