You repeat the same process. svn update your src and the rebuild your world and kernel. That is the price for custom kernel configs, no more kernel binary distribution (unless you setup your own build server, which you really don't want to do).
- voltagex_ 11y agoWhat's the reason I can't use `pkg` to update my userland and then just rebuild the kernel instead of rebuilding everything from source?
- MojoDwarf 11y agocurrently the base userland is not controlled by the pkg system. You can use freebsd-update to do a binary upgrade, which will also sync your kernel sources if you have stuff in /usr/src, so you can simply rebuild kernel after running the update. Should be noted in 11-CURRENT there is currently ongoing work to move userland and the generic kernel into pkg, so look forward to that as well.
- voltagex_ 11y agoI reverted to a generic kernel (it doesn't look like I ever had /boot/GENERIC - did I read out of date doco?), then ran freebsd-update as normal. Seems to be fine. I'll rebuild my custom kernel later.
