roff(7) dictates that "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an input line." Instead of doing this, Sortix manpages (incorrectly) used double-spaces to separate sentences. Additionally, fix a few small typos.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
upgrades the current operating system by copying the system files from the
|
|
specified
|
|
.Ar source
|
|
directory (usually a sysroot) onto the current root filesystem.
|
|
This is meant to be used when building the operating system from source as
|
|
described in
|
|
.Xr development 7 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
installs the
|
|
.Sy system
|
|
manifest from the tix repository in the
|
|
.Ar source
|
|
directory, as well as all the ports found.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr initrd 7
|
|
is regenerated using
|
|
.Xr update-initrd 8 .
|
|
If grub is enabled in
|
|
.Xr upgrade.conf 5 ,
|
|
then the bootloader is reinstalled and reconfigured as needed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is an automatic and non-interactive upgrade.
|
|
It is meant to be used as part of the development process to upgrade to locally
|
|
built versions.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr sysupgrade 8
|
|
program is by contrast an interactive program, meant to help upgrading across
|
|
much larger development distances.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "12345678"
|
|
.It Fl \-booting
|
|
It's boot time, complete the system upgrade that was delayed.
|
|
This is meant to be used by
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
through the
|
|
.Sy merge
|
|
boot target.
|
|
This installs the
|
|
.Pa /sysmerge
|
|
directory onto the root filesystem and removes the
|
|
.Pa /sysmerge
|
|
directory.
|
|
.It Fl c , Fl \-cancel
|
|
Cancel a pending upgrade that would trigger on the next boot.
|
|
Remove the
|
|
.Pa /sysmerge
|
|
directory and restore the old
|
|
.Xr kernel 7
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr initrd 7 .
|
|
.It Fl \-hook-finalize
|
|
Run the pre-installation compatibility hooks.
|
|
This is meant to be used by the old
|
|
.Nm
|
|
when it invokes the new
|
|
.Nm
|
|
during a non-waiting upgrade.
|
|
.It Fl \-hook-prepare
|
|
Run the post-prepare compatibility hooks.
|
|
This is meant to be used by the old
|
|
.Nm
|
|
when it invokes the new
|
|
.Nm
|
|
during a non-waiting upgrade.
|
|
.It Fl w , Fl \-wait
|
|
Wait until the next boot to complete the upgrade, rather than finishing it now.
|
|
This installs into the
|
|
.Pa /sysmerge
|
|
directory instead and replaces the
|
|
.Xr kernel 7
|
|
with the new kernel
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr initrd 7
|
|
with an initrd that runs
|
|
.Sy /sysmerge/sbin/sysmerge --booting
|
|
on boot through the
|
|
.Sy chain-merge
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
boot target.
|
|
Backups are made of the
|
|
.Xr kernel 7
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr initrd 7
|
|
such that the operation can be rolled back.
