Upgrading ASL

ASL 3.0

ASL 3.0 uses the internal upgrade management system in ASL. You can upgrade ASL by following these steps:

Automatic Upgrade

Step 1) Check to make sure you have ASL set to upgrade itself:

Check the file /etc/asl/config to ensure that UPDATE_TYPE is set to "all".

Step 2) Run this command as root:

asl -u

Step 3) Set the new security policy, by running this command as root:

asl -s -f

This configures all of the ASL updates for your unique system. This command is perfectly safe to run at any time even if you have not upgraded any ASL components.

Step 4) Please see the release notes, which include additional information when upgrading from 2.2 to 3.0:
