Actually it’s

make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
make installworld
make upgrade
reboot

(note buildworld comes first)

Upgrading is almost always the same procedure.

If it’s the same main release:

cd /usr/src
git pull
make buildkernel
make buildworld
make installkernel
make installworld
make upgrade
reboot

( after reboot if all is well )

cd /usr/src
make rescue

If moving to a new release:

cd /usr/src
git pull
git checkout DragonFly_RELEASE_$MAJOR_$MINOR
make buildkernel
make buildworld
make installkernel
make installworld
make upgrade
reboot

( after reboot if all is well )

cd /usr/src
make rescue

Nice, could you update http://www.dragonflybsd.org front page, it still says 5.0.0, thanks. Trying to do it myself just gives message that it is locked, guess it is to limit scam.
