Hi folks,
After downgrading to RELENG_4 for a while to prove to my team mates
that 3 months of pain were the result of hardware instability and not
features of HEAD, I'm ready to get back on the wagon.
I didn't follow the FILE size change debarcle, because I assumed that
the problem would be resolved by the time I was ready for -CURRENT
again. However, the entry for 20010211 in UPDATING suggests that I was
wrong:
20010211:
The size of FILE was changed. This breaks upgrading. If
you must upgrade, be prepared for pain. It also breaks almost
all binaries that you've compiled on -current. You are warned
Is this still true?
Please note that I'm not taking a dig at anyone. I've always seen
source upgrades to HEAD as a luxury and firmly believe that binary
upgrades are the "correct answer for technical support". Please don't
use this innocent question to start a flame war.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
