Hi, I've just overnight upgraded from 5 stable to 6 on one of my workstations. As I'm becoming used to expecting, this was a very smooth migration - my perennial thanks to all of the developers who make this type of operation almost trivial. A couple of notes on the extremely few 'gotchas' I experienced - I should quickly add that none of these are in any way serious: most files in /etc/rc.d changed, so installing them all with mergemaster was laborious - a note in UPDATING similar to that for 5.x: "The simplest solution is an 'rm -rf /etc/rc.d/*' and then 'mergemaster -i'." would have reminded me to do just that and saved about 10 minutes of clicking 'q', then 'i' :) I did, in this case, run mergemaster -i, but didn't think to do the above. On this note, I still can't work out how to use the edit-merge part of mergemaster properly, but it is certainly a pebkac issue. /etc/usbd.conf has lost the [Device] configuration for the mouse, which although doesn't prevent the mouse from working, it did mean that I had to add those lines again so that I could turn on '-z 4' for the scroll wheel. If this was the wrong way to do it, let me know - adding this item to the moused_flags didn't work. I'm actually wondering if this shouldn't be the default nowadays - what standard usb mouse _doesn't_ have one? DHCP configuration - for some reason my machine didn't acquire a default route on boot, but rerunning the dhclient script after boot caused the interface to be set up again successfully. I haven't looked into this further yet, I'll repost if it is a repeatable problem. I rebuilt all of my ports afterwards (with portupgrade -af), with no failures, and everything so far appears to be working fine. cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: auscert@auscert.org.au
