NetBSD 5.0_BETA (GENERIC) #0: Fri Oct 31 13:45:10 CET 2008
I've built -current with the new X.org ("build.sh -V MKXORG=yes -X ../xsrc release")
on a few platforms the other day, to see if -current is stable.
Incidentally, it was considered stable enough to make the netbsd-5
branch, which I'm running now.
Platforms that I've successfully (cross)compiled the netbsd-5
branch with X.org on are NetBSD 2.0(!), NetBSD 4.0 and OpenSuSE 10.2.
Builds for Mac OS X and Solaris are still outstanding, at least the
latter is still acting up in tools/file.
Upgrading my laptop from 4.99.73 to 5.0_BETA was pretty painless,
following the usual procedure:
- boot new kernel and see if it works - GENERIC does the job for me!
- extract all userland sets, except etc.tgz and xetc.tgz
- upgrade etc files: etcupdate -s etc.tgz -s xetc.tgz
- remove old files (as suggested at the end of 'etcupdate'):
postinstall -s 'etc.tgz' -s 'xetc.tgz' -d / fix obsolete
After another reboot, things run smoothly: networking with
and without wire, X, etc. The next step is to rebuild my packages,
which will take a bit on this 500MHz machine.
Now's your turn to go and help make NetBSD 5.0 the best release
ever.
Get going! :)
