X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Tue, 19 Jul 1994 18:08:14 GMT Lines: 31 Sorry for being a newbie here, but I couldn't figure this part of the upgrade out. Basically, I am running a 1.1-R (Walnut Creek CD - Second pressing) system. I wanted to upgrade to the final V1.1.5.1 so that I would be nice and current (well as current as you can without being 'current' :-) In any case, I assumed the easiest way would be to load the source tarballs from the CD and apply the patches. Well, that went okay (I did have a minor problem... see below). So I rebuilt the world and now have a nice bunch of executables in /usr/obj. Okay, now what? How do I move the /usr/obj binaries into the normal directories such that they get installed correctly? I couldn't find a FAQ on this aspect of upgrading. I assume that this is normally done to handle the current codeline (using sup). I'm just stumped on this (and I really really don't want to do this by hand :-). Thanks for any assistance here, - Jeff P.S. - I had trouble applying the patches to usr.bin/vi. It dies applying to vi/vi/getc.c which doesn't exist in the source tree. The source tree on the CD has usr.bin/vi/vi being the executable. I got around this by deleting usr.bin and downloading the 1.1.5.1 source tarball for usr.bin (this has vi/vi/getc.c, etc). Any thoughts on this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeffrey Anuszczyk | email: jeffa@sybase.com | All things being relative, Sybase, Inc. | vmail: (617)238-6429 | I'd rather be moving fast. 77 So.
