mkdir /proc
chmod 555 /proc
20100827:
From now on, the rc scripts, recovery scripts and system.conf in /etc
and /usr/etc are updated automatically by make world. If you want to
change them, do so in the source tree. If you make changes to your
settings in /etc and /usr/etc, merge them into the the source tree
before issuing a make world.
20100805:
mkfs and fsck have been renamed to mkfs.mfs and fsck.mfs, respectively.
Moreover, they have been moved to /sbin, which is by default not in
PATH. Edit your .ashrc (or equivalent) to also include /sbin in PATH.
Also, first issue a 'make commands' before building world.
20100802:
/usr/src/etc/system.conf updated to include ext2 file server: copy it
(or merge it) to /etc/system.conf.
20100719:
If you installed using a 3.1.6 image (or earlier) and haven't updated
the boot monitor since r6246 you need to do so now:
cd /usr/src/boot; make install; sh updateboot.sh
20100714:
mknod /dev/uds c 18 0
chmod 666 /dev/uds
20100713:
/usr/src/etc/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /etc/rc.
/usr/src/etc/system.conf updated to include boot sys services: copy
it (or merge it) to /etc/system.conf.
*** WARNING ***: this change breaks binary compatibility with
old images. Use only newly compiled images (make clean world
the first time) or download and install the latest ISO.
20100705:
/usr/src/etc/usr/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /usr/etc/rc.
/usr/src/etc/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /etc/rc.
Perform some cleanup (optional):
# rm -f /sbin/tty /sbin/log
20100630:
protocol change between service and rs: be sure to compile commands
together with the system image and don't use the new userspace with
an old image (or vice versa); it is recommended to replace
/boot/image_big with the newly compiled image to keep option 1 in the
boot menu working.
20100625:
/etc/mk has been moved to /usr/share/mk. You will need to
create /usr/share/mk manually.
# cp -r /usr/src/share/mk /usr/share/
# cd /usr/src; make -m /usr/share/mk world
20100515:
/usr/src/etc/usr/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /usr/etc/rc.
/etc/inet.conf is now line-based; if you have hand-edited this file
before, then make sure that you do not have configurations in there
that span multiple lines.
20100512:
yacc and lex updated
# make includes
# cd commands/yacc
# make depend all install
# cd commands/lex
# LEX=flex make depend all install
20100506:
/usr/src/etc/usr/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /usr/etc/rc.
20100410:
/usr/src/etc/usr/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /usr/etc/rc.
/usr/src/etc/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /etc/rc.
20100408:
/usr/src/etc/usr/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /usr/etc/rc.
20100318:
Gas2ack updates: Run 'make install' in commands/i386/gas2ack
20100317:
/usr/src/etc/system.conf updated to ignore default kernel calls: copy
it (or merge it) to /etc/system.conf.
The hello driver (/dev/hello) added to the distribution:
# cd /usr/src/commands/scripts && make clean install
# cd /dev && MAKEDEV hello
20100316:
/usr/man/man9 is required
# mkdir /usr/man/man9
20100308:
Include directory reorganization:
# mv /usr/include/ibm /usr/include/i386
# ln -s /usr/include/i386 /usr/include/machine
Install(1) updates:
# cd commands/simple && make /bin/install
20100303:
Gas2ack updates: Run 'make install' in commands/i386/gas2ack
20100215:
Make(1) has been replaced: Run 'make install' in commands/make
Mkdep updates: Copy commands/scripts/mkdep.sh to /usr/bin/mkdep
Make(1) needs mkfiles: Copy files in etc/mk to /etc/mk
ACK update: Copy commands/i386/acd.descr to /usr/lib/descr
End.a renamed:
-Copy /usr/lib/i86/end.a to /usr/lib/i86/libend.a
-Copy /usr/lib/i386/end.a to /usr/lib/i386/libend.a
-Copy /usr/gnu/lib/end.a to /usr/gnu/lib/libend.a
Asmconv updates: Run 'make install' in commands/i386/asmconv
20091212:
/etc/drivers.conf has been renamed to /etc/system.conf.
user "service" has been added to password file /etc/passwd.
20091006 (r5422):
OSS requires an improved make to be compiled; run "make install"
in /usr/src/commands/make before running "make world".
20070212 (r2751):
mkfs needs more memory to make an image; chmem it or do
# touch mkfs.c ; make /usr/bin/mkfs
in /usr/src/commands/simple.
20070118:
drivers.conf has been updated to include an ACL for mfs. it has
to be installed before rebooting after an update of the mount command.
20061222:
The archictecture-dependent/-independent split needs ARCH=<arch>
in /etc/make.conf, included by some Makefiles and sourced by
some shell scripts. To install it, type 'make install' in
src/etc, or simply copy the file over.
20061222:
Install binaries in the right order because the new readdir
implementation and the new mount program are incompatible
with older kernels and the new kernels require the new mount.
# cd /usr/src
# make includes
# make libraries
# make cmds
# make depend
# cd /usr/src/tools
# make hdboot
# make install
# cd ..
# make install
Installing fails for boot. Reboot the system
# reboot -x 'unset image; boot'
Now install everything
# cd /usr/src
# make install
20060818:
You need flex in your $PATH, which has become part of the base
system. This needs bigger binaries.
If you don't have flex yet, you can compile it first by doing:
# cp /usr/src/etc/binary_sizes* /etc
# binsizes big
# cd /usr/src/commands/flex-2.5.4
# sh build
