Suppose I want to add a custom patch to a release system (backport patch from current and compile on release), but keep the system able to load more official syspatches:
is it enough to put the relevant new object file (say pf.o) in /usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP/ and just do reorder_kernel? The new object will come from manually compiling release sources kernel with specific patch backported from current (on another machine). I took for example syspatch74-009_pf.tgz Apart from the pf.o I also see vers.o and gap.o Should I also provide a new gap.o? I don't understand what this does. In Makefile I see newbsd: ${MAKE_GAP} ${SYSTEM_LD_HEAD} ${SYSTEM_LD} swapgeneric.o ${SYSTEM_LD_TAIL} rm -f bsd.gdb mv -f newbsd bsd so makegap.sh is run from ${MAKE_GAP} which seems to provide a new gap.o Thanks, G
