[BUGS] question on up keeping of a production server

[goku -]

Hi all,

I have a question on production server upkeep.

In my supfile I am tracking freebsd 7 stable

*default tag=RELENG_7



Now here is my question.  I've read that a safe method of updating the
system's binaries is using a utility called freebsd-update.  I have read
that it does not update –STABLE .  It only tracks the release tag.  So do I
change the RELENG_7 to RELENG_7_0_0_RELEASE ?  also when freebsd 7.1R
becomes available and I decide not to upgrade.  Will the freebsd-update
still update the system's binaries? Or do I have to upgrade to freebsd 7.1R
and change the RELENG_7_0_0_RELEASE  to RELENG_7_1_0_RELEASE



Another question.  Since the server that I am learning on will become a
production server.  Is there a way to upgrade from freebsd 7 to 7.1(when it
come available) without having the server go off line.



Thanks

goku
