CVSUP/buildworld problems - should I just FTP ?

[Richard Shea]

Hi - I've been trying to update a 4.4 machine to 4.8. I understand 
it's good practice to do this one release at a time so I CVSup'd 4.5 
Release [1]. I did a buildworld and got a compile error [2]. I then 
read [3] that rm'ing /usr/obj/usr was a good idea so I CVSup'd again, 
did the rm, did the buildworld and got the same error in the same 
place.

I'm now about to remove /usr/src and /usr/obj and try again [4] but 
I've just wanted to check something first. 

If I'm going to remove /usr/src and /usr/obj wouldn't I be better off 
just FTP'ing the 4.8 release sources straight onto my machine and 
doing a buildworld on those ? I've heard the CVSuping a lot of source 
is quite inefficient and I think I'd be sucking in everything via 
CVSUP if I rm'd those two directories and then CVSup on 4.5 Release 
wouldn't I ?

Anyone got any other idea about how to fix the compile that would be 
nice too.

thanks
