If you're running with the latest snapshot of -current, then the installworld_newk and installworld_oldk will not be quite right. /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 recently changed, and I needed to change the scripts to work with either format. I've just uploaded new versions of: http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/time-64/UPDATING.64BTT http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/time-64/installworld_oldk http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/time-64/installworld_newk Which have been updated to reflect all the issues I know about. I have to wait for my own latest buildworld to finish before I can say I fully tested the changes to the scripts, but I think they should work better than the previous versions (as far as the new Makefile.inc1 is concerned, at least). I think this version of UPDATING.64BTT file is about as polished as I intend to get it. My basic plan is to commit these three files to /usr/src on March 1st. This wouldn't actually change anything, it would just make the files available as part of the src tree. Then, at some later date (march 4th? march 8th? even later?), we'd commit the change to /usr/src/sys/sparc64/include/_types.h which makes the switch, and add an entry in /usr/src/UPDATING to point sparc64 users to these two files. Does this seem reasonable? -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
