After fighting a little with the upgrade procedure, and finally taking the time to upgrade the rc files, I was wondering if there was a painless way to merge in the current /etc/sysconfig file one might have with the newer ones that defines more things. I recently had a problem with this, and it got me thinking. I can do it by hand, but I'd rather not :-). I fixed one bogon in /etc/rc that required swapfile to be defined, or you'd get a hard to track down syntax error on boot (I hope that is alright, I just put "" around a $swapfile to stop the syntax error). I think there is another bogon lurking with local_dirs, but I didn't fix that one. If not, is there any interest in something that would do this sort of thing? I'd write it if there wasn't already a updsysconfig command out there :-) It shouldn't be hard to generate from the new sysconfig, so long as comments needn't be preserved from the sysconfig file that was being upgraded.... Warner P.S. Has anybody else noticed that a) The new stuff about 11% longer to compile (10hr vs 9hr for me) and b) there have been no new CTMs in several hours (like maybe 20-25)?
