About DVD-R138729.1-1-00-part1.zip and DVD-R138729.1-1-00-part2.zip

About the Pre-built RPMs in *-binaries_*.zip Files
- The downloadable binaries on this page are pre-built RPMs, which are not included on the DVD.
- These are optional new versions, which replace the original pre-built RPMs and kernels.
- If you choose to install these pre-built binaries, they must be installed after installation of Wind River Linux 3.0 Service Pack 1, but before doing a build that will use the pre-built RPMs.
- During the upgrade to Service Pack 1, the existing pre-built binaries are all moved. This means that any builds that previously used the pre-built RPMs now make new RPMs from source.
- Existing RPM prebuilt binaries are moved to
wrlinux-3.0/wrlinux/RPMS_backup/
- Existing kernel prebuilt binaries are moved to
wrlinux-3.0/wrlinux/boards_backup/
- The new versions are downloaded into these directories and are available for all projects:
wrlinux-3.0/wrlinux/RPMS
wrlinux-3.0/wrlinux/boards
Update Pack FAQs:
- An Update Pack adds new features and is an accumulation of patches that have been tested together for compatibility.
- Previously released point patches that were posted to Wind River Online Support are obsolete as standalone point patches if the applicable defect is listed in the Defects or Description sections on this page.
- The highest-version Update Pack includes the cumulative patches from all previous Update Packs.
- Applying an Update Pack provides more reliability and compatibility than applying point patches.
Linux 3
This service pack is only compatible with Wind River Linux 3.0 and cannot be applied to or used with any other version of Wind River Linux, i.e., do not apply to WR Linux 1.x or 2.x installations.
