How to upgrade FreeBSD is following steps (details please see URL). 1. make buildworld 2. make buildkernel 3. make installkernel 4. Reboot ... Since the current freebsd-sources requires same freebsd-{cddl,usbin}-${RV}, userland is replaced before you boot new kernel. I think you need to boot new kernel before replacing the userland. # emerge -pv freebsd-sources [nomerge ] sys-freebsd/freebsd-sources-9.2_rc1 USE="build-generic dtrace -profile" [ebuild N ] sys-freebsd/freebsd-cddl-9.2_rc1 USE="-build -profile" 0 kB [ebuild N ] sys-freebsd/freebsd-sources-9.2_rc1 USE="build-generic dtrace -profile" 0 kB [ebuild U ] sys-freebsd/freebsd-contrib-9.2_rc1 [8.0] USE="-profile" 0 kB [ebuild U ] sys-freebsd/freebsd-usbin-9.2_rc1 [8.0] USE="ipv6 pam ssl -acpi -atm -audit -bluetooth -build -floppy (-kerberos) -minimal -netware -nis -profile -usb (-isdn%) (-tcpd%*)" 0 kB [ebuild U ] sys-freebsd/freebsd-libexec-9.2_rc1 [8.0] USE="ipv6 pam ssl (-kerberos) -nis -profile -xinetd" 0 kB [ebuild U ] sys-freebsd/freebsd-ubin-9.2_rc1 [8.0] USE="ipv6 ssl -ar -atm -audit -bluetooth -build (-kerberos) -netware -nis -profile -usb -zfs" 0 kB [ebuild U ] sys-freebsd/freebsd-lib-9.2_rc1 [8.0] USE="ipv6 ssl -atm -bluetooth -build -hesiod (-kerberos) -netware -profile -usb -zfs% (-bootstrap%)" 322 kB Total: 7 packages (5 upgrades, 2 new), Size of downloads: 322 kB * Error: circular dependencies: (sys-freebsd/freebsd-cddl-9.2_rc1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on (sys-freebsd/freebsd-sources-9.2_rc1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) (sys-freebsd/freebsd-cddl-9.2_rc1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime) It might be possible to break this cycle by applying any of the following changes: - sys-freebsd/freebsd-sources-9.2_rc1 (Change USE: -build-generic) - sys-freebsd/freebsd-sources-9.2_rc1 (Change USE: -dtrace) - sys-freebsd/freebsd-cddl-9.2_rc1 (Change USE: +build)
Created attachment 355974 [details, diff] minimal patch for freebsd-sources-9.2_rc1.ebuild This patch only supports upgrades from 9.1. Version older than 9.1 will fail to compile. New local USE flag, dtrace Previous versions fails to ctfconvert (bug 479494). When you upgrade, the successful compile you disable this flag. e.g.) USE="-dtrace" emerge freebsd-sources

Created attachment 355984 [details, diff] very bad sample patch for freebsd-sources-9.2_rc1.ebuild Compile successful on Gentoo/FreeBSD 8.0 (x86) And I was also confirmed boot the kernel... However, 9.0 and 8.x very old. Do you think code is required for the upgrade ?

(In reply to Yuta SATOH from comment #1) > Created attachment 355974 [details, diff] [details, diff] > minimal patch for freebsd-sources-9.2_rc1.ebuild > applied this one, thanks this also fixes a bigger problem: we cannot ship cddl in the stages because of the gpl/cddl incompatibility, so I've made dtrace disabled by default. for the upgrade from 8.0, I'd say it should be recommended to install fbsd-sources with USE=-build-generic, it'd be too hacky to support this and should be the same as before.
