Updating Information for MidnightBSD users |
2 |
|
3 |
Items affecting the mports and packages system can be found in |
4 |
/usr/mports/UPDATING. |
5 |
|
6 |
20070911: |
7 |
libpthread output intended as an error is now written to |
8 |
stderr instead of stdout. |
9 |
|
10 |
bzip2 updated to 1.0.4 |
11 |
|
12 |
find: |
13 |
Add -Btime, -Bnewer, -Bmin, -newerB[Bacmt], -newer[acmt]B options to |
14 |
work with the st_birthtime field of struct stat. |
15 |
|
16 |
'B' has been chosen to match the format specifier from stat(1). |
17 |
|
18 |
20070810: |
19 |
src/usr.sbin/pkg_install was updated to work with |
20 |
mports properly. If you get errors with plists |
21 |
with lines about dirrmtry, this will fix it. |
22 |
|
23 |
20070806: |
24 |
/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk was not merged from current |
25 |
before 0.1 was released. This caused the wrong |
26 |
file in /usr/mport/mk to be sourced when a port's |
27 |
makefile sourced bsd.port.mk. Many ports where broken as |
28 |
a result. |
29 |
|
30 |
|
31 |
20070804: |
32 |
0.1-RELEASE |
33 |
|
34 |
BIND 9.3.4-p1 security patch. |
35 |
|
36 |
Tcpdump was patched. |
37 |
|
38 |
20070406: |
39 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
40 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
41 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
42 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
43 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
44 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
45 |
|
46 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
47 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
48 |
|
49 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
50 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
51 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
52 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
53 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
54 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
55 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
56 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
57 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
58 |
them. |
59 |
|
60 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
61 |
this from libc. |
62 |
|
63 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
64 |
installed. |
65 |
|
66 |
20070401: |
67 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
68 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
69 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
70 |
follow the these instructions: |
71 |
|
72 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
73 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
74 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
75 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
76 |
buildworld and kernel |
77 |
|
78 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
79 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
80 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
81 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
82 |
fix. |
83 |
|
84 |
20070314: |
85 |
Remove send-pr from src. |
86 |
|
87 |
Switch to NetBSD's gzip. |
88 |
|
89 |
Bump MBSD minor revision. |
90 |
|
91 |
20070313: |
92 |
Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1. |
93 |
|
94 |
Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it. |
95 |
|
96 |
Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for |
97 |
the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
98 |
|
99 |
20070312: |
100 |
Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the |
101 |
BSD Daemon files from src/share. |
102 |
|
103 |
20070308: |
104 |
Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including |
105 |
the Dell perc5i. |
106 |
|
107 |
20070206: |
108 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
109 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
110 |
|
111 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
112 |
will not be effected. |
113 |
|
114 |
20070119: |
115 |
Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file |
116 |
before installing world. |
117 |
|
118 |
hostapd was updated to 0.4.8. |
119 |
|
120 |
An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to |
121 |
unbreak world. |
122 |
|
123 |
wpa_supplicant was updated. |
124 |
|
125 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
126 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
127 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
128 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
129 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
130 |
|
131 |
20061231: |
132 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
133 |
|
134 |
Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions. |
135 |
|
136 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
137 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
138 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
139 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
140 |
|
141 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |
142 |
dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american, |
143 |
/usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math |
144 |
|
145 |
Numerous man page and bug fixes. |
146 |
|
147 |
20061226: |
148 |
Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new |
149 |
MidnightBSD CVSup server. |
150 |
|
151 |
Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while |
152 |
erasing CDRW media. |
153 |

Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written |
155 |
in C. |
156 |
|
157 |
Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30. |
158 |
|
159 |
Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in |
160 |
geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6. |
161 |
|
162 |
20061225: |
163 |
Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c |
164 |
that caused long double to long and long long |
165 |
conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1. |
166 |
|
167 |
20061221: |
168 |
Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no |
169 |
batteries are present. |
170 |
|
171 |
Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers. |
172 |
RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors. |
173 |
|
174 |
Corrected a bug with TTY. |
175 |
|
176 |
20061218: |

202 |
random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes |
203 |
to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386) |
204 |
commited. |
205 |
|
206 |
lukemftpd updated. |
207 |
|
208 |

OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove |
224 |
the old ntpd daemon. |
225 |
|
226 |
cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output |
227 |
on a per line basis. |
228 |
|
229 |
The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple |
230 |
keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also |
231 |
improved with this patch. |
232 |
|
233 |
The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly |
234 |
increased on many systems. Additional models are supported. |
235 |
|
236 |
The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock. |
237 |
|
238 |
Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition. |
239 |
|
240 |
20060817: |
241 |
ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had |
242 |
the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld. |
243 |
|
244 |
|
245 |
|
246 |
To build a kernel |
247 |
----------------- |
248 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
249 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
250 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
251 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
252 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
253 |
|
254 |
To test a kernel once |
255 |
--------------------- |
256 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
257 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
258 |
debugging information) run |
259 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
260 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
261 |
|
262 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
263 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
264 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
265 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
266 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
267 |
|
268 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
269 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
270 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
271 |
make depend |
272 |
make |
273 |
make install |
274 |
|
275 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
276 |
|
277 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
278 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
279 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
280 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
281 |
|
282 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
283 |
make buildworld |
284 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
285 |
[1] |
286 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
287 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
288 |
make installworld |
289 |
make delete-old |
290 |
mergemaster [4] |
291 |
<reboot> |
292 |
|
293 |
|
294 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
295 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
296 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
297 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
298 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
299 |
# size. |
300 |
|
301 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
302 |
<boot into -stable> |
303 |
make buildworld |
304 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
305 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
306 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
307 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
308 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
309 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
310 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
311 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
312 |
<reboot into current> |
313 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
314 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
315 |
<reboot> |
316 |
|
317 |
|
318 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
319 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
320 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
321 |
make buildworld [9] |
322 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
323 |
[1] |
324 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
325 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
326 |
make installworld |
327 |
make delete-old |
328 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
329 |
<reboot> |
330 |
|
331 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
332 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
333 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
334 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
335 |
the UPDATING entries. |
336 |
|
337 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
338 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
339 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
340 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
341 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
342 |
|
343 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
344 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
345 |
system on reboot. |
346 |
|
347 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
348 |
fsck -p |
349 |
mount -u / |
350 |
mount -a |
351 |
cd src |
352 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
353 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
354 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
355 |
|
356 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
357 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
358 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
359 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
360 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
361 |
for potential gotchas. |
362 |
|
363 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
364 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
365 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
366 |
|
367 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
368 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
369 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
370 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
371 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
372 |
|
373 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
374 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
375 |
|
376 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
377 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
378 |
|
379 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
380 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
381 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
382 |
|
383 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
384 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
385 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
