I've run RELEASE since 1.1.5.1. Now i've got a machine I'd like to run current on. So I figure I'll use 801-SNAP as the base. I've had it running fine and playing with it. Good stuff! Now, lets start tracking the src tree. Read the stuff on sup and start my first sup last night. It takes quite a while, finally finishes. Start make world and it dies somewhere (dont remember). Figure I've munged my /usr/src somewhere along the way, probably got 2 versions of binaries (801 & some from my sup) I figure I'll clean the slate, so I re-ftp the 801-SNAP/src files (ie. ssys.aa, etc). Ok, nuke my previous /usr/src and reinstall 801-SNAP /usr/src. now lets do a make world to get us back to good'ol 801-SNAP. Dies in fetch (ftpLogin wrong # args). Hmmm, whatd'ive done? As you can tell I'm quite new to attempting to track current and a bit confused, could some of you seasoned sup'ers enlighten me on a couple of things? Questions: 1) Sup took forever the first time. Get the whole tree? Is this right? 2) Did I take the best avenue to stepping back to know src by re-ftping the 801-SNAP src distributions and installing them in a freshly rm -rf'd /usr/src? 3) Since I've got a fresh src tree that don't work, where do I go now? 4) Are my partial sup'ed and made src tree binaries a bad thing? I've got some binaries on the system that are not 801-SNAP, I just made them and they may be wrong/bad, no? (I kept my 801 kernel around and am running it with my bastardized binary collection) 5) chicken & egg question: Good or Bad to re-build kernel with newly supped src and boot it before making world? Thanks for your help and patience, -Rob
