snapshot, current, sysmerge
hi, i need to post another question. in my loongson machine i've installed snapshot and then using 3 day for fetched -current: cvs -d$CVSROOT checkhout -P src xenocara ports; then i updated -current: cvs -d$CVSROOT up -Pd (on src xenocara ports directory respectively): the i build the kernel, rebooted the machine and build the userland (1 day). everything without errors message.
now, according to FAQ 5.3.5, i must update /dev and /etc, whit the changes listed in http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html. because 28-feb-2015 snapshot is my starting point and in /faq/current the last change is dated 2015/02/21 i don't need to do nothing. but i need to run sysmerge. according the FAQ 5.11.10 sysmerge(8) can use the checked-out source tree so according the /faq/upgrade56 Final Step (i can't find indication using the source tree) i think i need to run sysmerge -s /usr/src/etc -x /usr/xenocara/etc. the problem: according the sysmerge(8) manual page -s and -x are unknown options. so what i need to do? running sysmerge without arguments seams to start but it don't show messages and after 3-4 seconds stop. no error messages where i'm wrong? thank you fstef |

thank you jggimi,
i read the sysmerge(8) man page a lot of time but i'm missing something. if i understand correctly the command is sysmerge -d. i tried it and it seams working but only with the etc files, whit the xetc files nothing happen. in my /etc directory i've wsconsctl.conf. on a default installation there is no this file, it is on /etc/examples, so i'm asking to myself why sysmerge don't tell me something about this, maybe is because "Files whose reference sources have matching CVS Id are skipped from comparison"? the last thing: according to the manual sysmerge will finish by running mtree(8) and according M.W. Lucas "Absolute OpenBSD", p.380 when sysmerge finish to work it tell you something like "Checking directory hierarchy permissions (running mtree(8))...". when i runned sysmerge -d at the end the command don't tell me nothing. fstef |
