Mit Hilfe von freebsd-update(8) kann man ein FreeBSD System binär aktualisieren. Folgende Anleitung funktioniert allerdings nur, wenn man auf eine Version des gleichen Branches aktualisiert. In diesem Beispiel wird ein FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE binär auf ein FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE aktualisiert.
# uname -a
FreeBSD test.chruetertee.ch 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:32:43 UTC 2006 root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
Zuerst muss freebsd-update heruntergeladen werden. Danach empfiehlt es sich, die Signatur von freebsd-update mit Hilfe von gpg(1) zu überprüfen:
# fetch http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz
freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz 100% of 21 kB 38 kBps
# fetch http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc
freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc 100% of 187 B 1251 kBps
# gpg --verify freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz
gpg: Signature made Fr 16 Nov 15:01:38 2007 CET using DSA key ID CA6CDFB2
gpg: Good signature from "FreeBSD Security Officer <security-officer@FreeBSD.org>"
Sollte das Verzeichnis /var/db/freebsd-update nicht vorhanden sein, muss es angelegt werden, da sonst das Skript nicht funktioniert:
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update.sh: Directory does not exist or is not writable: /var/db/freebsd-update
# mkdir /var/db/freebsd-update
Nun kann das System auf die gewünschte Version aktualisiert werden. freebsd-update analysiert, welche Komponenten installiert sind und aktualisiert werden müssen:
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade

Nun kann der neue Kernel installiert werden:
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install
Installing updates...
Kernel updates have been installed. Please reboot and run
"freebsd-update.sh install" again to finish installing updates.
Ist der Kernel installiert, muss das System neu gestartet werden:
# shutdown -r now
Nun kann der Rest des Systems aktualisiert werden:
# freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install
Installing updates...
Completing this upgrade requires removing old shared object files.
Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software (e.g., programs
installed from the ports tree) and then run "freebsd-update.sh install"
again to finish installing updates.
Danach sollten die Ports neu gebaut werden. Zum Beispiel kann man alle Ports deinstallieren und anschliessend neu bauen. Dazu kann portmaster(8) zur Hilfe genommen werden:
# portmaster -l > ~/installed-port-list
# portsnap fetch update
# portmaster --clean-distfiles-all
# portmaster -Faf
# pkg_delete *
portmaster erstellt eine Liste aller installierten Ports. Möchte man alle diese Ports wieder installieren, nachdem man sie gelöscht hat, so müssen nur die Root- und Leaf-Ports installiert werden. Alle anderen werden automatisch als Abhängigkeit installiert.
# cat ~/installed-port-list

Nun können noch die alten Libraries gelöscht werden:
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install
Installing updates... done.
Danach sollte das System nochmals neu gestartet werden:
# shutdown -r now
Nach dem Neustart ist die Aktualisierung abgeschlossen.
