Next: Mergemaster -U option
From: tim1948 on 16 Apr 2010 13:33 I discovered the solution to a problem I mentioned earlier, Webcam access to specific applications. A developer patched the 8-STABLE kernel for this purpose, but I am using 8-RELEASE, which doesn't work. I was able to carry out this upgrade, but since I didn't have the slightest idea as to how to use mergemaster, the performance was not acceptable. There are hundreds of files to compare, and it would be nice if someone has written a tutorial describing a systematic way to do this. Fortunately, I made an image backup of the system after "make buildworld" and before the kernel build. You can leave it that way as long as you like. (That's the way it is now, after I restored it.) |
