Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In September 2016 will be released FreeBSD 11.

We'll then upgrade Ysul to this version.

This is perhaps an opportunity to switch from the -RELEASE model to the -STABLE model.

First reboot worked well, now next step is upgrading from 10.3 to 11.

Ysul
$ uname -a
FreeBSD ysul.nasqueron.org 10.3-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p7 #0: Thu Aug 11 18:38:15 UTC 2016     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Network doesn't respond after the second reboot, I'm reconfiguring it.

Meanwhile, I'm upgrading userland too.

There are missing files, locales for example.

I'm reinstalling from scratch a sane FreeBSD 11.0 system to restore such files. I'll keep /etc, /home, etc. as is.
