I tried to build.sh again with UPDATE and not rebuilding tools with:

time ./build.sh -T tools -u -U -D /backups/netbsd/destdir-1.6.1      -R /backups/netbsd/netbsd-1.6.1-release 2>&1 | tee LOG.2

I did this so I could log the error message to see why the earlier build didn't work. But it did build bmake and some tools and failed:

/usr/src/tools/bin/nbinstall -c -p -r -m 444 /usr/src/tools/groff/../../share/tmac/andoc /usr/src/tools/share/groff/tmac/tmac.andoc
nbinstall: /usr/src/tools/share/groff/tmac: mkstemp: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop.
nbmake: stopped in /usr/src/tools/groff

I built the sets by doing:

cd src/distrib/sets
UNPRIVED=yes RELEASEDIR=/backups/netbsd/netbsd-1.6.1-release DESTDIR=/backups/netbsd/destdir-1.6.1 make sets

After a little discussion with my sponsors, I made my first commit to real NetBSD cvs. I did:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/icsi-finger/
vi MESSAGE # to fix typo and slight rephrase
cvs -d :ext:reed@cvs.NetBSD.ORG:/cvsroot diff . # to check
cvs -d :ext:reed@cvs.NetBSD.ORG:/cvsroot commit MESSAGE # and wrote log message

I upgraded to latest netbsd-1-6 by untarring sets to /. (I used -p to preserve for games and base sets.) Then I extracted etc.tgz to /tmp/etc and ran: "etcupdate -v -b /tmp/etc". I also made copy of current kernel and installed new /netbsd from kern-GENERIC.tgz.

Started building package for epiphany (GNOME web browser).

rocksndiamonds didn't see my joystick when I tried to calibrate. Then I noticed that /dev/joy0 was not readable or writable. So I changed its group to a group my son was already a member and made that group readable and writable. Then rocksndiamonds worked fine with the Joystick #1. I had to choose it and save it the setup; then exit and restart rocksndiamonds.
