Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected |
| 48 |
to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it |
| 49 |
by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will |
| 50 |
install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with |
| 51 |
GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries |
| 54 |
on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
20080430: |
| 57 |
__MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested |

| 110 |
Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current |
| 111 |
thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx. |
| 112 |

or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable |
| 190 |
ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This |
| 191 |
change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall |
| 192 |
enabled by default. |
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
20070814: |
| 195 |
Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar |

| 198 |
20070806: |
| 199 |
Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree. |
| 200 |

| 201 |
20070804: |
| 202 |
BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities. |
| 203 |
|
| 204 |
We switched to BSD cpio (pax). |
| 205 |
|
| 206 |
20070719: |
| 207 |
Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup |
| 208 |

| 215 |
most of their local changes. |
| 216 |
|
| 217 |
20070409: |
| 218 |
RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will |
| 219 |
continue here. |
| 220 |
|
| 221 |
20070406: |
| 222 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
| 223 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
| 224 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
| 225 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
| 226 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
| 227 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
| 228 |
|
| 229 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
| 230 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
| 231 |
|
| 232 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
| 233 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
| 234 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
| 235 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
| 236 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
| 237 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
| 238 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
| 239 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
| 240 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
| 241 |
them. |
| 242 |
|
| 243 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
| 244 |
this from libc. |
| 245 |
|
| 246 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
| 247 |
installed. |
| 248 |
|
| 249 |
20070401: |
| 250 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
| 251 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
| 252 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
| 253 |
follow the these instructions: |
| 254 |
|
| 255 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
| 256 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
| 257 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
| 258 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
| 259 |
buildworld and kernel |
| 260 |
|
| 261 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
| 262 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
| 263 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
| 264 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
| 265 |
fix. |
| 266 |
|
| 267 |
20070314: |
| 268 |

the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
| 281 |
|
| 282 |
20070312: |
| 283 |

| 288 |
the Dell perc5i. |
| 289 |
|
| 290 |
20070206: |
| 291 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
| 292 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
| 293 |
|
| 294 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
| 295 |
will not be effected. |
| 296 |
|
| 297 |
20070119: |
| 298 |
Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file |
| 299 |
before installing world. |

| 304 |
unbreak world. |
| 305 |
|
| 306 |
wpa_supplicant was updated. |
| 307 |
|
| 308 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
| 309 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
| 310 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
| 311 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
| 312 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
| 313 |
|
| 314 |
20061231: |
| 315 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
| 316 |
|
| 317 |
Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions. |
| 318 |
|
| 319 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
| 320 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
| 321 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
| 322 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
| 323 |
|
| 324 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |
| 325 |
dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american, |
| 326 |

| 413 |
keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also |
| 414 |
improved with this patch. |
| 415 |
|
| 416 |
The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly |
| 417 |

| 426 |
|
| 427 |
|
| 428 |
|
| 429 |
To build a kernel |
| 430 |
----------------- |
| 431 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
| 432 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
| 433 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
| 434 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 435 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 436 |
|
| 437 |
To test a kernel once |
| 438 |
--------------------- |
| 439 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
| 440 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
| 441 |
debugging information) run |
| 442 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
| 443 |

To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
| 446 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 447 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
| 448 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
| 449 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
| 450 |
|
| 451 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
| 452 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
| 453 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
| 454 |
make depend |
| 455 |
make |
| 456 |
make install |
| 457 |
|
| 458 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
| 459 |
|
| 460 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
| 461 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 462 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
| 463 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
| 464 |
|
| 465 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 466 |
make buildworld |
| 467 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 468 |
[1] |
| 469 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
| 470 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
| 471 |
make installworld |
| 472 |
make delete-old |
| 473 |
mergemaster [4] |
| 474 |
<reboot> |
| 475 |
|
| 476 |
|
| 477 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
| 478 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
| 479 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
| 480 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
| 481 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
| 482 |
# size. |
| 483 |
|
| 484 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 485 |
<boot into -stable> |
| 486 |
make buildworld |
| 487 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 488 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
| 489 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
| 490 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
| 491 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
| 492 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
| 493 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
| 494 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
| 495 |
<reboot into current> |
| 496 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
| 497 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
| 498 |
<reboot> |
| 499 |
|
| 500 |
|
| 501 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
| 502 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 503 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 504 |
make buildworld [9] |
| 505 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
| 506 |
[1] |
| 507 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
| 508 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
| 509 |
make installworld |
| 510 |
make delete-old |
| 511 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
| 512 |
<reboot> |
| 513 |
|
| 514 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
| 515 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
| 516 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
| 517 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
| 518 |
the UPDATING entries. |
| 519 |
|
| 520 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
| 521 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
| 522 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
| 523 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
| 524 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
| 525 |
|
| 526 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
| 527 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
| 528 |
system on reboot. |
| 529 |
|
| 530 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
| 531 |
fsck -p |
| 532 |
mount -u / |
| 533 |
mount -a |
| 534 |
cd src |
| 535 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
| 536 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
| 537 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
| 538 |
|
| 539 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
| 540 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
| 541 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
| 542 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
| 543 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
| 544 |
for potential gotchas. |
| 545 |
|
| 546 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
| 547 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
| 548 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
| 549 |
|
| 550 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
| 551 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
| 552 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
| 553 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
| 554 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
| 555 |
|
| 556 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
| 557 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
| 558 |
|
| 559 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
| 560 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
| 561 |
|
| 562 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
| 563 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
| 564 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
| 565 |
|
| 566 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
| 567 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
| 568 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
