The first step is to run scripts/make.sh. This will build some binaries, create directories, and generate an RSA signing key used for approving builds. In this step, a passphrase will have to be supplied for the final creation of the signing key.
# sh scripts/make.sh cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe findstamps.c -o findstamps findstamps.c: In function 'usage': findstamps.c:45: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit' cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe unstamp.c -o unstamp install findstamps ../bin install unstamp ../bin rm -f findstamps unstamp Generating RSA private key, 4096 bit long modulus ................................................................................++ ...................++ e is 65537 (0x10001) Public key fingerprint: 27ef53e48dc869eea6c3136091cc6ab8589f967559824779e855d58a2294de9e Encrypting signing key for root enter aes-256-cbc encryption password: Verifying - enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:
Note: Keep a note of the generated key fingerprint. This value is entered into /etc/freebsd-update.conf for binary updates.
At this point, we are ready to stage a build.
What follows is sample of an initial build run.

FreeBSD/amd64 7.2-RELEASE initialization build complete. Please
review the list of build stamps printed above to confirm that
they look sensible, then run
# sh -e approve.sh amd64 7.2-RELEASE
to sign the release.
Approve the build if everything looks ok. More information on determining if things are ok can be found in the distributed source file named USAGE. Execute scripts/approve.sh, as directed. This will sign the release, and move components into a staging area suitable for uploading.

After completing the approval process, you may proceed with the upload.
The uploaded files will need to be in the DocumentRoot of the webserver in order for updates to be distributed. For further explanation, please refer to the Configuration section of the Apache documentation.
Note: Updates for the current release of the FreeBSD system you are updating, and what you want to upgrade to need to be built in order for FreeBSD Update Server to work properly. This is necessary for merging of files between releases. For example, if you are updating a system from FreeBSD 7.1 to FreeBSD 7.2, you will need to have update code built for FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE.
Update client's KeyPrint and ServerName in /etc/freebsd-update.conf, and perform updates as instructed in the FreeBSD Update instructions in the Handbook.
For reference, here is the entire run of init.sh.
