time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade: |
|
1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install. |
|
This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is |
|
conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c. |
|
2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work |
|
before installing. |
|
3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and |
|
your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers |
|
are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc |
|
and libutil, install them and then continue building all the |
|
libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once |
|
the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build. |
|
4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings, |
|
rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries. |
|
Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages |
|
that depend on it. |
|
5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file |
|
will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible. |
|
6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see |
|
lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic |
|
for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after |
|
upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during |
|
boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by |
|
newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the |
|
files manually. |
|
7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see |
|
accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be |
|
removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by |
|
/etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove |
|
the file. |
|

config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates - |
|
swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config |
|
(done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun |
|
config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those |
|
kernels. |
|
|
|
20081205: |
|
If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and |
|
/etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc |
|
set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds. |
