Hi,
I figure this is relevant to -questions, -stable and -current. But I haven't
seen any activity on the -stable mailing list since subscribing to it,
and I'm not subscribed to -current, so -questions it is.
I've supped the latest version of -stable. Modulo problems with lp.4 not
existing I've done
cd /usr/src
make -DNOPROFILE world
and I've rebuilt my kernel with the new sources. It's all running hunky
dory.
However, I notice there have been some changes to files in /usr/src/etc,
particularly sysconfig. Is there any easy way to merge these changes in,
automatically, or is it a case of picking through each file by hand and
working out what I do and do not need?
Also, after subsequent sup's I assume all I'm going to do is
cd /usr/src
make -DNOPROFILE depend all install
which is only going to recompile what's changed. It looks like 'world'
will re-make everything from scratch, which is not what I want.
Also, can anyone point me at some sup servers somewhat nearer the UK? The
handbook says that there should be a README file in /usr/share/examples/sup
with list of alternate servers, but it's not present on my system.
Cheers,
N
