PSA: when upgrading to snapshots, boot into new kernel first
2016-03-06 by tg@
Tags: news plan snapshot tip
I’ll have to add O_DIRECTORY support to open(2) for more security in cpio(1), pax(1), and tar(1). (Maybe I’ll also add O_CLOEXEC while there…) Today’s paxmirabilis will however pick this up as soon as it’s there and thus fail if it is not supported by the running kernel yet.
Morale: when upgrading to a snapshot take care of the kernel first (install and reboot), userspace second.
To be clear: this will affect the first -current snapshot to be published after today on /MirOS/current.
