    I updated the NetBSD-current sources on my @linveo VPS. Thanks @linveo!

    I also rebuilt the NetBSD-current userland.

    Next up is rebuilding the kernel and the X Window System. Then backup, install the new kernel, and reboot,

    Finally, install the new userland and the new X. Then a final reboot to make sure that it can.

    What am I missing? :)

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    @Not_Oles said:

    build.sh command: ./build.sh -j 2 -O ../obj -r -T ../tools -U distribution

    Nope! :)

    I forgot the -x flag to add X Windows!

    So, probably, something like

    build.sh command: ./build.sh -j 2 -O ../obj -r -T ../tools -U -x distribution

    might work.

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

  • Not_OlesNot_Oles Hosting ProviderContent Writer

    Okay, done with the X Window System enabled distribution build.

    I think I wouldn't have to rebuild the kernel again, right?

    Well . . . I did build the kernel again. . . .

    I'm not sure whether having the "-x" flag in the kernel build changes anything. But it might.

    Tomorrow, maybe we will see if the VPS reboots with the newly updated and recompiled kernel.

    Thanks to @linveo for lots of NetBSD fun, :star: and for very fast builds! <3

    Welp, what do you think? Did the reboot work?

    Rebuilding and updating NetBSD-current seems more suspense-filled than I remember from the old days. . . .

    Here is moving the new kernel into place:

    Thanks @Linveo for the really nice, really fast server! Thanks @cmeerw for the NetBSD 10 image which got me started!

    Also. . . .

    I probably will post about updating the NetBSD-current distribution userland and also about updating the pkgsrc extras. After that, I expect to stop posting about "routine" updates, even if they are magnificent, amazing, and wonderful each and every time!

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    I installed all the newly compiled userland binaries, and then rebooted again.

    It seems to have worked. I'm cautiously optimistic!

    Now we seem to be running NetBSD-current on our newly updated and self-compiled kernel and base system userland binaries! These all were built with our newly updated and compiled build tools. That's pretty cool, I think!

    Just for fun, let's check the dates of the files in /bin. :)

    Next up is to try to figure out the etcupdate, which I almost certainly should have run before rebooting. Maybe etcupdate should have been run before installing.

    After etcupdate it's probably time to check whether any of the pkgsrc programs have been updated and therefore need rebuilding.

    I plan to stop posting routine NetBSD build updates to this thread when etcupdate and pkgsrc are done. We will have upgraded NetBSD 10 to NetBSD-current, installed X Windows and Wireshark, then done another upgrade as time progressed. Maybe there will be enough here so that anyone interested can try self-compiling NetBSD-current!

    Yeah, all self-compiled, except for our initial NetBSD 10 image kindly provided by @cmeerw. <3 Thanks @linveo for the nice, fast VPS! <3 Thanks NetBSD! <3 Thanks LESbians! <3

    If anyone catches my mistakes, please do let me know! <3

    Best wishes!

    I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    Already found a mistake! :)

    I needed to run postinstall. In the output of the successful install, it says:

Note that this may overwrite local changes.

    And here's what happened when I ran the suggested fix:
