I will answer to you in a strange order (as I discover what is the problem)
a. oschanges, which takes care of removing some of the installed files
(like S85power, S88sendmail) is by mistake installed in /srvd/install/oschanges
but the update-os script does :
sh /srvd/usr/athena/lib/update/oschanges
all the other scripts (rc scripts) we do not want to run should be added to
oschanges
this answers : 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
b. 3a seems to be something special for your machine. I bet that
/etc/mail/aliases was pointing into afs somewhere. Normally this is not the case
c. we should do something about pre-formatting man pages. what did we do in
8.3 ?
d. Solaris wants /usr/ccs/lib/cpp to point to /usr/lib/cpp which is a file
of size 91344 bytes. Because we have in 2.6 /usr/lib/cpp pointing to
/usr/ccs/lib/cpp we get into trouble. The simplest of things will be to add
/usr/lib/cpp and /usr/ccs/lib/cpp to DEADFILES in 8.4.0 script.
e. I have no answers for 1
Greg : shall I change oschanges and 8.4.0 , or you want to change them ?
