.Ss Upgrade path to NetBSD 1.6
|
||||
If you are not installing your system ``from scratch'' but instead
|
||||
are going to upgrade an existing system already running
|
||||
.Nx
|
||||
you need to know which versions you can upgrade with
|
||||
.Nx
|
||||
1.5.1.
|
||||
1.6.

.Pp
|

.Nx
|
||||
1.5.1 is an upgrade of
|
||||
1.6 is an upgrade of
|

.Nx
|

1.5 and earlier major and patch releases of

1.5.3 and earlier major and patch releases of

.Nx .

The intermediate development versions of code available on the main trunk
|
||||
in our CVS repository (also known as ``NetBSD-current'') from
|
||||
.Em after
|
||||
the point where the release cycle for 1.5 was started are designated
|
||||
by version identifiers such as 1.5A, 1.5B, etc.
|
||||
the point where the release cycle for 1.6 was started are designated
|
||||
by version identifiers such as 1.6A, 1.6B, etc.
|
||||
These identifiers do not designate releases, but indicate major changes
|
||||
in internal kernel APIs.
|
||||
Note that the kernel from
|
||||
.Nx
|
||||
1.5.1 can
|
||||
1.6 can
|
||||
.Em not
|
||||
be used to upgrade a system running one of those intermediate development
|
||||
versions.
|

Trying to use the
|
||||
.Nx
|
||||
1.5.1 kernel on such a system
|
||||
1.6 kernel on such a system

.Em will
|
||||
probably result in problems.
|

|
||||
Please also note that it is not possible to do a direct ``version''
|
||||
comparison between any of the intermediate development versions mentioned
|
||||
above and 1.5.1 to determine if a given feature is present or absent
|
||||
in 1.5.1. The development of 1.5 and the subsequent ``point'' releases

above and 1.6.1 to determine if a given feature is present or absent
|

in 1.6.1. The development of 1.6 and the subsequent ``point'' releases
|
||||
is done on a separate branch in the CVS repository. The branch was created when
|

the release cycle for 1.5 was started, and during the release cycle of
|

the release cycle for 1.6 was started, and during the release cycle of
|

1.5 and its patch releases, selected fixes and enhancements have been
|
||||
imported from the main development trunk.
|

So, there are features in 1.5.1 which were not in, e.g. 1.5B, and vice
