NAME
sysupgrade —
operating system upgrader
SYNOPSIS
sysupgrade |
DESCRIPTION
sysupgrade is an interactive command line
program that does an
upgrade(7) of another
installation to the current operating system. It asks basic questions,
searches for existing installations, verifies the upgrade makes sense, and
upgrades the target system according to
upgrade.conf(5) of the
target system.
sysupgrade must be run as root with stdin,
stdout and stderr all pointing to the terminal. It is intended to be run
from a live environment and not from an actual installation.
sysupgrade is one of three supported
upgrade methods. The other two are upgrading from the network using
tix-upgrade(8), and
building from source and invoking
sysmerge(8) directly.
