Upgrading to TinyOS 1.1.x CVS Snapshots

Note: While minor releases deliver TinyOS additions and improvements to the community more quickly, they do so with less testing. If your environment requires stability, consider using the previous major release (TinyOS 1.1.0) or, at least, testing your applications carefully with the new release before migrating wholesale to a 1.1.x CVS snapshot.

To install a TinyOS 1.1.x snapshot, you must first have installed TinyOS 1.1.0. If you have not installed TinyOS 1.1.0, please see the TinyOS download page .

You need not install any previously released 1.1.x snapshots. That is, if you have 1.1.0 installed on your machine, you can jump right to installing 1.1.15 rather than installing 1.1.1... up to 1.1.15. Each 1.1.x CVS snapshot supercedes previous 1.1.x CVS snapshot releases.

INSTALLING AND UPDATING PACKAGES

The http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/linux and http://webs.cs.berkeley.edu/tos/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/windows directories contain a number of optional packages you can install if you wish. Most packages in those directories were released along with TinyOS 1.1.0, but will work with 1.1.x snapshots. Several packages have released new minor versions since 1.1.0. Download the appropriate rpms, and install them with rpm -ivh <rpm file name> (first installation) or rpm -Uvh <rpm file name> (upgrade).
