[9front] ACHTUNG! Manual steps required when updating

[Jacob Moody]

All,

An issue has been discovered that will prevent machines from rebuilding
if they are updated with the following commits:

1038f18f7e3101a7fa6b709774df1789434f4262
5c89ac1ce32bb5e1050ff6397bdfadad58ad3ffc

The issue is specific to machines which were initially installed using
one of the previous two releases:

"DO NOT INSTALL"
“THIS TIME DEFINITELY”

Or any nightly iso between DO NOT INSTALL and now.

The issue is that /lib/ucd has an incorrect group permission which
causes sysupdate(1) to fail to write a new file there, which causes
an issue for rebuilding the system.

If you have not updated past the two commits listed above, the fix is the following:

; chmod g+w /lib/ucd /lib/ktrans

If you have updated past those two commits, the fix is the following:

; chmod g+w /lib/ucd /lib/ktrans
; git/revert /lib/ucd


Apologies,
moody

I overlooked to modify the group permissions on /lib/ucd as instructed
in the email above.
sysupdate(1) failed to write /lib/ucd/DerivedNormalizationProps.txt.
Based on the output of 'git/diff -s /', a number of other files that
got pulled by sysupdate(1) failed to merge. For instance, the new
netstat rewrite in awk, /rc/bin/netstat, isn't there when queried with
ls(1).
Running sysupdate(1) again returns 'up to date'.
How do I resolve this?
Thanks.

git/revert will bring things in line.
