Re: [9fans] bleeding edge sources

The update process is described in replica(1).
There's an example at the end.

The typical incantation (assuming you have
network connectivity) is

	disk/kfscmd allow
	replica/pull -v /dist/replica/network
	disk/kfscmd disallow

If you've updated recently, glenda has a script
called pull in her bin/rc directory, so if you're
logged in as glenda, you can just do

	pull

or

	pull -s

if you want to overwrite local changes with server
changes when conflicts occur.  If you don't log in
as glenda, you can use

	cat >$home/bin/rc/pull <<!
	#!/bin/rc
	exec /usr/glenda/bin/rc/pull $*
	!
	chmod +x $home/bin/rc/pull

Re: [9fans] lp doesn't work after upgrade from downloaded cd image

[Russ Cox]

There's a bug in the lp on the CD image, due to
a bug in the APE freopen.  The version on sources
is corrected.  If I remember correctly, that doesn't
help you.

Would people find it helpful to have a ``bleeding edge''
CD image of the whole sources archive regenerated
every night that you could use to update if you can't
get to sources from inside Plan 9?

Yes, that sounds good [even though I'm just starting to use plan9].
Also, are the instructions on upgrading from inside plan9 in the wiki,
or on a man page, or in a document somewhere?

Or will it become clear as I get more comfortable with the system?
