Updating Information for MidnightBSD users

Items affecting the mports and packages system can be found in
/usr/mports/UPDATING. 

20080429:
        Import bind 9.4.2 with threading

        libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier

        improved.  See the man pages for info.

        periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
        See mailwrapper fix.

20080410:
        Sync cpdup with DragonFly.  Add parallel transaction support and
        -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.

20080406:
        Import bzip2 1.05
        Import OpenSSH 4.9p1

20080322:
        The default umask was changed to 022.
        
        /usr/X11R6 paths were removed from several config files.

        .mkshrc files are now installed for root.

20080316:
        FIx a problem with gif0 tunnels and neighbors with IPV6.

20080312:
        Add lndir from X.org.  This aides in the porting of MirPorts.

        New OS versions were added to the mapage code (groff)

20080310:
        Correct a buffer overflow in ppp.

20080308:
        Remove /usr/X11R6 from manpath config.

20080307:
        Atheros driver no longer has several options set
        which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.

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

        Removed OS/2's HPFS file system.   It's not maintained and
        I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
        My copy is in the closet collecting dust.

20080306:
        Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD.  Modified it for MidnightBSD.
        Developers can now use it to check src builds.

20080303:
        Add mksh to /etc/shells, made some adjustments to options
        for mksh builds per suggestion upstream.

        USB HID table updated with modern hardware list.

20080128:
        Changed NTP configuration so that ips aren't cached
        so multiple servers are used.

        Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.

20080121:
        Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
        according to a VM present.  VMWare and Parallels
        should work better like this.

        Change to full x11 install in sysinstall.  Add
        xorg 7 support.

20080115:
        Fix the handling of PTY's.  CVE-2008-0216

20080105:
        mport delete code added, USE_MPORT_TOOLS knob aded.

20080101:
        Happy New Year

20071123:
        Update sendmail to 8.14.2

20071120:
        Update system compiler to gcc 3.4.6.

20071023:
        Updated mksh to R31d.

20070911:
        Updated mksh to version R31b.

        Fixed stderr output in libpthread.  Previously it was
        written to stdout.

20070831:
        Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to 
        mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.  

        Added new firewall configuration.  ipfw is enabled by default
        with a "desktop" configuration.  Consult /etc/rc.firewall
        or ipfw show to see the ruleset used.  You can disable
        ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
        change only effects IPv4.  IPv6 does not have a firewall
        enabled by default.

20070814:
        Removed GNU tar source.  We've been using BSD tar 
        for awhile.

20070806:
        Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.

20070804:
        BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.

        We switched to BSD cpio (pax).

20070719:
        Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup

20070716:
        Update GNU cpio to 2.8. 

20070410:
        cvs was updated to 1.12.13.  cvsbug was removed.
        cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
        most of their local changes.  

20070409:
        RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
        continue here.

20070406:
        Back out propolice.  propolice caused several problems
        with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.  
        curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
        multithreaded applications would crash.  We plan to 
        work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
        patch which also corrects our threading issues later.

        It is more important to have a stable system for our
        mport work and other projects at this time.

        This is not a clean removal.  It is recommended that you
        have a recently SNAP CD handy.  You can either reinstall
        or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and 
        make installkernel.  Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
        of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
        /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
        your disk.  Then you should be able to boot into single user
        mode and run make installworld.  You will need to run
        chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
        them. 

        You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
        this from libc.

        You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
        installed.

20070401:
        Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
        provide us with much greater security and stability in the
        long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
        follow the these instructions:

        cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
        cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
        cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
        cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
        buildworld and kernel

        It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
        prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
        or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
        and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
        fix.

20070314:
        Remove send-pr from src.

        Switch to NetBSD's gzip.

        Bump MBSD minor revision.

20070313:
        Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.

        Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.

        Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
        the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.

20070312:
        Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the 
        BSD Daemon files from src/share.  

20070308:
        Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
        the Dell perc5i.

20070206:
        Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
        /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.

        Those who install from a snapshot after this date
        will not be effected.

20070119:
        Added audit group.  Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
        before installing world.

        hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.

        An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
        unbreak world.

        wpa_supplicant was updated.

        For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
        sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release.  Nearly every change between the original
        fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
        2006 will be merged.  Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
        will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.

20061231:
        Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.

        Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.

        Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
        synced all commits between the fork and that version.  It is now safe
        to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
        Feb 26, 2006.

        Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD.  Also added additional
        dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american, 
        /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math

        Numerous man page and bug fixes.

20061226:
        Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
        MidnightBSD CVSup server. 

        Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
        erasing CDRW media.

        Add csup to /usr/bin.  csup is a CVSup replacement written
        in C. 

        Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.  

        Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
        geom.  Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.

20061225:
        Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
        that caused long double to long and long long 
        conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.

20061221:
        Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
        batteries are present.

        Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
        RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.

        Corrected a bug with TTY.

20061218:
        Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
        threads don't get scheduled.

20061206:
        Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.

20061129:
        Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.

        Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
        FreeBSD.

20061031:
        Updated man pages in section 7.

20061030:
        Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon 
        r300 cards properly.  

        Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.

        Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.  

20061027:
        Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
        random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated.  Changes
        to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
        commited.  

        lukemftpd updated.  

        openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
        seeding.  

20061014:
        Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.

        Started removal of alpha support.

20061013:
        ATA driver was updated.  USB/USB1/USB2 types added.

20061010: 
        OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.   

20060909:
        OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD.  Run make delete-old to remove
        the old ntpd daemon.

        cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
        on a per line basis.

        The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
        keyboard connected simultaneously.  USB keyboard support was also
        improved with this patch.

        The Intel em driver was updated.  Network performance was greatly
        increased on many systems.  Additional models are supported.

        The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.

        Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.

20060817:
        ksh has been added to the base system.  If you previously had
        the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.


        To build a kernel
        -----------------
        If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
        a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
        /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
        make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
        make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

        To test a kernel once
        ---------------------
        If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
        if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
        debugging information) run
        make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
        nextboot -k testkernel

        To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
        --------------------------------------------------------------
        This assumes you are already running a 6.X system.  Replace
        ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
        "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).

        cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
        config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
        cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
        make depend
        make
        make install

        If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.

        To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
        -----------------------------------------------------------
        # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
        # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.

        <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
        make buildworld
        make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
                                                        [1]
        <reboot in single user>                         [3]
        mergemaster -p                                  [5]
        make installworld
        make delete-old
        mergemaster                                     [4]
        <reboot>


        To cross-install current onto a separate partition
        --------------------------------------------------
        # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
        # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories.   A partition
        # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
        # size.

        <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
        <boot into -stable>
        make buildworld
        make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
        <maybe newfs current's root partition>
        <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
        make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
        cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
        make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
        cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab                    # if newfs'd
        <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
        <reboot into current>
        <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
        <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
        <reboot>


        To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
        -----------------------------------------------------------
        <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
        make buildworld                                 [9]
        make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE           [8]
                                                        [1]
        <reboot in single user>                         [3]
        mergemaster -p                                  [5]
        make installworld
        make delete-old
        mergemaster -i                                  [4]
        <reboot>

        Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
        tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
        cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
        to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
        the UPDATING entries.

        Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
        freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
        your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
        messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
        much fewer pitfalls.

        [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
        should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
        system on reboot.

        [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
                fsck -p
                mount -u /
                mount -a
                cd src
                adjkerntz -i            # if CMOS is wall time
        Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
        you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.

        [4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
        can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
        system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
        that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
        as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
        for potential gotchas.

        [5] Usually this step is a noop.  However, from time to time
        you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
        step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.

        [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
        needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
        option in your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system
        that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
        is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.

        Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
        last time you updated your kernel config file.

        [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
        cvs prune empty directories.

        If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
        "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
        override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.

        MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
        not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
        warn if it is improperly defined.

131			mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
132
133			Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
134			with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
135			or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
136			ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
137			change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
138			enabled by default.
139
140	laffer1	1192	20070814:
141			Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
142			for awhile.
143
144	laffer1	1143	20070806:
145			Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
146
147			20070804:
148			BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
149
150			We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
151
152	laffer1	1060	20070719:
153			Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
154
155	laffer1	1055	20070716:

160			cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
161			most of their local changes.
162
163			20070409:
164			RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
165			continue here.
166
167	laffer1	906	20070406:
168			Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
169			with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
170			curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
171			multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
172			work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
173			patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
174
175			It is more important to have a stable system for our
176			mport work and other projects at this time.
177
178	laffer1	907	This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
179			have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
180			or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
181			make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
182			of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
183			/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
184			your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
185			mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
186			chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
187			them.
188
189			You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
190			this from libc.
191
192			You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
193			installed.
194
195	archite	886	20070401:
196			Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
197			provide us with much greater security and stability in the
198			long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
199			follow the these instructions:
200
201			cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
202			cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
203	laffer1	893	cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
204			cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
205	archite	886	buildworld and kernel
206
207			It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
208			prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
209			or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
210			and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
211			fix.
212
213	laffer1	842	20070314:
214			Remove send-pr from src.
215
216			Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
217
218			Bump MBSD minor revision.
219
220	laffer1	832	20070313:
221			Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
222
223			Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
224
225			Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
226			the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
227
228	laffer1	807	20070312:
229			Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
230			BSD Daemon files from src/share.
231
232	laffer1	775	20070308:
233			Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
234			the Dell perc5i.
235
236	archite	726	20070206:
237			Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
238			/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
239
240			Those who install from a snapshot after this date
241			will not be effected.
242
243	laffer1	708	20070119:
244			Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
245			before installing world.
246
247			hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
248
249			An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
250			unbreak world.
251
252			wpa_supplicant was updated.
253
254	laffer1	775	For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
255			sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
256			fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
257			2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
258			will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
259	laffer1	708
260	laffer1	477	20061231:
261			Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
262
263			Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
264
265			Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
266			synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
267			to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
268			Feb 26, 2006.
269
270			Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
271			dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
272			/usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
273
274			Numerous man page and bug fixes.
275
276	laffer1	352	20061226:
277			Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
278	laffer1	376	MidnightBSD CVSup server.
279	laffer1	352
280	laffer1	376	Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
281			erasing CDRW media.
282
283			Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
284			in C.
285
286			Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
287
288			Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
289			geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
290
291	laffer1	352	20061225:
292			Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
293			that caused long double to long and long long
294			conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
295
296			20061221:
297			Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
298			batteries are present.
299
300			Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
301			RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
302
303			Corrected a bug with TTY.
304
305			20061218:
306			Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
307			threads don't get scheduled.
308
309			20061206:
310			Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
311
312			20061129:
313			Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
314
315			Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
316			FreeBSD.
317
318	laffer1	325	20061031:
319			Updated man pages in section 7.
320
321			20061030:
322			Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
323			r300 cards properly.
324
325			Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
326
327			Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
328
329	laffer1	305	20061027:
330			Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
331			random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
332			to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
333			commited.
334
335			lukemftpd updated.
336
337			openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
338			seeding.
339
340	laffer1	273	20061014:
341			Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
342
343			Started removal of alpha support.
344
345			20061013:
346			ATA driver was updated. USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
347
348			20061010:
349	laffer1	305	OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
350	laffer1	273
351	laffer1	169	20060909:
352			OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
353			the old ntpd daemon.
354	laffer1	63
355	laffer1	169	cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
356			on a per line basis.
357	laffer1	5
358	laffer1	169	The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
359			keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
360			improved with this patch.
361	laffer1	5
362	laffer1	169	The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
363			increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
364	laffer1	5
365	laffer1	169	The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
366	laffer1	5
367	laffer1	169	Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
368	laffer1	5
369	laffer1	169	20060817:
370			ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
371			the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
372	laffer1	5
373
374
375	laffer1	2	To build a kernel
376			-----------------
377	laffer1	169	If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
378	laffer1	2	a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
379			/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
380			make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
381			make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
382
383			To test a kernel once
384			---------------------
385			If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
386			if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
387			debugging information) run
388			make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
389			nextboot -k testkernel
390
391			To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
392			--------------------------------------------------------------
393			This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
394			${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
395	laffer1	273	"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
396	laffer1	2
397			cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
398			config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
399			cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
400			make depend
401			make
402			make install
403
404			If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
405
406			To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
407			-----------------------------------------------------------
408			# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
409			# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
410
411			<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
412			make buildworld
413			make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
414			[1]
415			<reboot in single user> [3]
416			mergemaster -p [5]
417			make installworld
418	laffer1	5	make delete-old
419	laffer1	2	mergemaster [4]
420			<reboot>
421
422
423			To cross-install current onto a separate partition
424			--------------------------------------------------
425			# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
426			# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
427			# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
428			# size.
429
430			<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
431			<boot into -stable>
432			make buildworld
433			make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
434			<maybe newfs current's root partition>
435			<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
436			make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
437			cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
438			make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
439			cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
440			<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
441			<reboot into current>
442			<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
443			<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
444			<reboot>
445
446
447			To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
448			-----------------------------------------------------------
449			<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
450			make buildworld [9]
451			make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
452			[1]
453			<reboot in single user> [3]
454			mergemaster -p [5]
455			make installworld
456	laffer1	5	make delete-old
457	laffer1	2	mergemaster -i [4]
458			<reboot>
459
460			Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
461			tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
462			cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
463			to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
464			the UPDATING entries.
465
466			Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
467			freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
468			your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
469			messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
470			much fewer pitfalls.
471
472			[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
473			should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
474			system on reboot.
475
476			[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
477			fsck -p
478			mount -u /
479			mount -a
480			cd src
481			adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
482			Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
483			you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
484
485			[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
486			can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
487			system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
488			that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
489			as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
490			for potential gotchas.
491
492			[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
493			you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
494			step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
495
496			[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
497			needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
498			option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
499			that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
500			is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
501
502			Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
503			last time you updated your kernel config file.
504
505			[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
506			cvs prune empty directories.
507
508			If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
509			"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
510			override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
511
512			MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
513			not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
514			warn if it is improperly defined.
