When multiple machines need to track the same source tree, it is a waste of disk space, network bandwidth, and CPU cycles to have each system download the sources and rebuild everything. The solution is to have one machine do most of the work, while the rest of the machines mount that work via NFS. This section outlines a method of doing so. First, identify a set of machines which will run the same set of binaries, known as a build set. Each machine can have a custom kernel, but will run the same userland binaries.
From that set, choose a machine to be the build machine that the world and kernel are built on. Ideally, this is a fast machine that has sufficient spare CPU to run make buildworld and make buildkernel. Select a machine to be the test machine , which will test software updates before they are put into production.
This must be a machine that can afford to be down for an extended period of time. It can be the build machine, but need not be. That means that the build machine must build all the parts of the base system that any machine in the build set is going to install.
On the build machine, build the kernel and world as described in Updating FreeBSD from Source , but do not install anything on the build machine. Instead, install the built kernel on the test machine. Then, run shutdown now to go to single-user mode in order to install the new kernel and world and run mergemaster as usual. When done, reboot to return to normal multi-user operations. After verifying that everything on the test machine is working properly, use the same procedure to install the new software on each of the other machines in the build set.
The same methodology can be used for the ports tree. Book menu. Table of Contents Synopsis FreeBSD Update Updating the Documentation Set Tracking a Development Branch Tracking for Multiple Machines.
Synopsis FreeBSD is under constant development between releases. How to compare the state of an installed system against a known pristine copy. How to keep the installed documentation up-to-date with Git or documentation ports. How to rebuild and reinstall the entire base system. FreeBSD Update Applying security patches in a timely manner and upgrading to a newer release of an operating system are important aspects of ongoing system administration.
The Configuration File The default configuration file for freebsd-update works as-is. Components of the base system which should be kept updated. Components world kernel. Paths which start with anything matching an entry in an IgnorePaths statement will be ignored. Paths which start with anything matching an entry in an UpdateIfUnmodified statement will only be updated if the contents of the file have not been modified by the user unless changes are merged; see below.
When upgrading to a new FreeBSD release, files which match MergeChanges will have any local changes merged into the version from the new release. StrictComponents no. Applying Security Patches The process of applying FreeBSD security patches has been simplified, allowing an administrator to keep a system fully patched using freebsd-update. The following command, when run on a FreeBSD 9.
Looking up update. Fetching metadata signature for 9. Fetching metadata index Inspecting system When using a custom kernel, the above step will produce a warning similar to the following:. Upgrading Packages After a Major Version Upgrade Generally, installed applications will continue to work without problems after minor version upgrades. A rebuild of all installed applications can be accomplished with this command:. Reboot the machine into the new FreeBSD version. The upgrade process is now complete.
To begin the comparison, specify the output file to save the results to:. Once installed, use git to fetch a clean copy of the documentation source:. Members of the FreeBSD community who are actively working on some part of the source tree.
The N-number When tracking down bugs it is important to know which versions of the source code have been used to create the system exhibiting an issue.
Local branches will have n-numbers that will overlap commits of their parent branch. It is absent in this example because the FRED kernel was built from a pristine checkout. See Updating the Source for more information on obtaining and updating source. This is equivalent to make buildkernel installkernel. Obtaining the Source:. If there are no local modifications in this directory, it can be deleted. The third parameter is the destination directory for the source code on the local system.
Building from Source The world , or all of the operating system except the kernel, is compiled. These are the basic steps. Additional options to control the build are described below. Setting the Number of Jobs Increasing the number of build jobs on multi-core processors can improve build speed. Example 1. Increasing the Number of Build Jobs. Building Only the Kernel A buildworld must be completed if the source code has changed.
Installing the Compiled Code After the buildworld and buildkernel steps have been completed, the new kernel and world are installed:. Learn more. Asked 4 years, 5 months ago.

To just fetch the port distfiles, or packages, if -P is specified, without building or installing anything, use -F. For further information on all of the available switches, refer to the manual page for portupgrade. Using the Ports Collection will use up disk space over time. After building and installing a port, running make clean within the ports skeleton will clean up the temporary work directory.
If Portmaster is used to install a port, it will automatically remove this directory unless -K is specified. If Portupgrade is installed, this command will remove all work directories found within the local copy of the Ports Collection:.
To use Portupgrade to delete all the distfiles that are no longer referenced by any ports:. Portupgrade can remove all distfiles not referenced by any port currently installed on the system:. By default, this command is interactive and prompts the user to confirm if a distfile should be deleted. It uses FreeBSD jails to set up isolated compilation environments.
These jails can be used to build packages for versions of FreeBSD that are different from the system on which it is installed, and also to build packages for i if the host is an amd64 system. Once the packages are built, they are in a layout identical to the official mirrors. These packages are usable by pkg 8 and other package management tools. Edit the copied file to suit the local configuration. While ZFS is not required on the system running poudriere, it is beneficial. Defaults for the other configuration values are adequate.
The number of processor cores detected is used to define how many builds will run in parallel. Supply enough virtual memory, either with RAM or swap space. If virtual memory runs out, the compilation jails will stop and be torn down, resulting in weird error messages. After configuration, initialize poudriere so that it installs a jail with the required FreeBSD tree and a ports tree.
Specify a name for the jail using -j and the FreeBSD version with -v. The default is the architecture shown by uname. On a single computer, poudriere can build ports with multiple configurations, in multiple jails, and from different port trees.
Custom configurations for these combinations are called sets. The basic configuration shown here puts a single jail-, port-, and set-specific make. The filename in this example is created by combining the jail name, port name, and set name: 11amdlocal-workstation-make. The system make. Packages to be built are entered in 11amdlocal-workstation-pkglist :. After completion, the new packages are now available for installation from the poudriere repository.
While it is possible to use both a custom repository along side of the official repository, sometimes it is useful to disable the official repository. This is done by creating a configuration file that overrides and disables the official configuration file.
Usually it is easiest to serve a poudriere repository to the client machines via HTTP. Regardless of whether the software was installed from a binary package or port, most third-party applications require some level of configuration after installation. The following commands and locations can be used to help determine what was installed with the application. In cases where an application has a large number of configuration files, a subdirectory will be created to hold them.
Often, sample configuration files are installed which end with a suffix such as. To edit a sample file, first copy it without the. This documentation should be consulted before continuing. See Starting Services for more information. By design, applications do not run their startup script upon installation, nor do they run their stop script upon deinstallation or upgrade.
This decision is left to the individual system administrator. Users of csh 1 should run rehash to rebuild the known binary list in the shells PATH. Use pkg info to determine which files, man pages, and binaries were installed with the application.
Search to see if there is a fix pending for the port in the Problem Report database. If so, implementing the proposed fix may fix the issue.
Ask the maintainer of the port for help. Remember to include the output leading up to the error in the email to the maintainer. Some ports are not maintained by an individual but instead by a group maintainer represented by a mailing list.
Many, but not all, of these addresses look like freebsd-listname FreeBSD. Please take this into account when sending an email.
In particular, ports maintained by ports FreeBSD. Instead, any fixes and support come from the general community who subscribe to that mailing list. More volunteers are always needed! Fix it! Install the package instead of the port using the instructions in Using pkg for Binary Package Management.
