Update via CVS
Regarding to: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/updating.html
How can I tell NetBSD to only download x86 regarding files? Is there a way to upgrade/install updates, which is more comparable to MS Windows updates? Ty |

There is also a means to do a binary upgrade. For i386/x86_64 nyftp offers binary images that offer an upgrade option in the installer.
|
|

The 'pkgin' tool performs binary upgrades:
Upgrade keepable packages to their newer versions present in the repository. If the installed dependencies match the listed needed dependencies, don't upgrade them: # pkgin upgrade Upgrade all packages to their newer versions present in the repository: # pkgin full-upgrade http://pkgin.net/ |

@all
Thx for ur answers. @jiggimi Sorry. I meant sth like a Programm, which recognizes the NetBSD Version and Downloads Hotfixes and other updates for this particular Version (like only updates for amd64/7.1). @darktrym Ill have a look at that. Does the update via cvs include updates/Hotfixes to a Version or does it only download and install the latest stable too? @shep Ty. I already recognized that. Wasnt quite sure whether the update by cvs includes some newer security updates. @DaBSD & IdOp Yep, was asking bcz of OS updating. //OFFTOPIC Furthermore, I want to install Drivers for my gfx-card. I found this: http://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/x11/compiz/ this: http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?radeon+4 And now im a bit confused. which one is the better solution, or is it even basicly the same? |

NetBSD has at least two development branches. You can use it as a service pack for a NetBSD installation. At the end of the download process you have to decide which config file you want on your system.
sysupgrade download the binary installation set and install it. Newer versions of NetBSD doesn't need to compile modular X. I'm not sure what is the state of our radeon driver and what is latest supported generation.

Ik, that ist going totally offtopic now, but i dont want to spam the Forum with another noob-question-thread.
Is there a 32bit Subsystem for the X86 64bit release? Like the wow on Windows64? |

BTW, has anyone who has used sysupgrade faced that uname still shows the system's old (=pre-sysupgrade) version? |
|
|||
No, I didn't. uname is supposed to take its output from a system call, or what?

I followed the steps line by line, but when it Comes to Building, i just get an error. "Error: build.sh must be run from the top source Level" |
