Subject: [9fans] A sad story and a question
Date: Fri,  9 Nov 2007 21:13:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0BDA3D34-E00B-41ED-833D-750A4F6E03AA@mac.com> (raw)

Hello. I performed

	term% /usr/glenda/bin/rc/pull

today and I noticed some new updates to files for commands. So I did

	term% cd /sys/src/cmd
	term% mk all

and waited (primarily for GhostScript). At the end there were errors.  
So I went back and tried to see if

	term% cd ..
	term% mk clean

would fix it. Nope - it reset my date, among others. So now I'm going  
to reinstall Plan 9. Oh, and when I tried to back up my files to my  
FTP server, it wiped some of the files (a important one was updated  
on my Mac OS X system, though, and two were not touched, so  
everything is good now). :-( So now I'm going back to reinstall Plan  
9 and ask this question:

If an update is retrieved with glenda's pull, do you then perform an  
mk all on the new sources?
