What is wrong with recompiling the kernel? Last time I used FreeBSD (also NetBSD), all that it took was to edit some config file and call a shell script. Has it changed from that?
- kchoudhu 9y agoYou can't use freebsd-update if you have to recompile your kernel, which in turn makes it difficult to manage large fleets of servers without running your own freebsd-update server.
- i_feel_great 9y agoAh, OK.
- Mister_Snuggles 9y agoThis is my biggest issue. Updating is basically a case of install updates, recompile kernel, reboot with fingers crossed. I'm scared to upgrade to a new release because of this.
