3 laffer1 273 Items affecting the mports and packages system can be found in
4     /usr/mports/UPDATING.
5 laffer1 2
6 laffer1 1642 20080528:
7     Sendmail 8.14.3
8    
9 laffer1 1598 20080516:
10     ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
11     were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
12     few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
13     option.
14    
15     The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
16    
17     20080514:
18     Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
19     to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
20     by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
21     install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
22     GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
23    
24     System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
25     on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
26    
27 laffer1 1561 20080430:
28     __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
29     to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
30    
31 laffer1 1559 20080429:
32     Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
33    
34     libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
35    
36     pcvt(4) removed!
37    
38     Alias added for core2 cpus.
39    
40     Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
41    
42     syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
43     improved. See the man pages for info.
44    
45     periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
46     See mailwrapper fix.
47    
48 laffer1 1462 20080410:
49     Sync cpdup with DragonFly. Add parallel transaction support and
50     -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
51    
52 laffer1 1456 20080406:
53 laffer1 1462 Import bzip2 1.05
54 laffer1 1456 Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
55    
56 laffer1 1432 20080322:
57     The default umask was changed to 022.
58    
59     /usr/X11R6 paths were removed from several config files.
60    
61     .mkshrc files are now installed for root.
62    
63 laffer1 1420 20080316:
64     FIx a problem with gif0 tunnels and neighbors with IPV6.
65    
66     20080312:
67     Add lndir from X.org. This aides in the porting of MirPorts.
68    
69     New OS versions were added to the mapage code (groff)
70    
71     20080310:
72     Correct a buffer overflow in ppp.
73    
74     20080308:
75     Remove /usr/X11R6 from manpath config.
76    
77     20080307:
78     Atheros driver no longer has several options set
79     which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
80    
81     Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
82     thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
83    
84     Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
85     I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
86     My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
87    
88     20080306:
89     Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
90     Developers can now use it to check src builds.
91

113    
114     iso639 file sycned with DragonFly.
115    
116     20080128:
117     Changed NTP configuration so that ips aren't cached
118     so multiple servers are used.
119    
120     Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.
121    
122     20080121:
123     Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
124     according to a VM present. VMWare and Parallels
125     should work better like this.
126    
127     Change to full x11 install in sysinstall. Add
128     xorg 7 support.
129    
130     20080115:

137     Happy New Year
138    
139 laffer1 1345 20071123:
140     Update sendmail to 8.14.2
141    
142 laffer1 1339 20071120:
143     Update system compiler to gcc 3.4.6.
144    
145 laffer1 1345 20071023:
146     Updated mksh to R31d.
147    
148 laffer1 1228 20070911:
149     Updated mksh to version R31b.
150    
151     Fixed stderr output in libpthread. Previously it was
152     written to stdout.
153    
154 laffer1 1214 20070831:
155     Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
156     mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
157    
158     Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
159     with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
160     or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
161     ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
162     change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
163     enabled by default.
164    
165 laffer1 1192 20070814:
166     Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
167     for awhile.
168    
169 laffer1 1143 20070806:
170     Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
171    
172     20070804:
173     BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
174    
175     We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
176    
177 laffer1 1060 20070719:
178     Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
179    
180 laffer1 1055 20070716:
181     Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
182    
183 laffer1 939 20070410:
184     cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
185     cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
186     most of their local changes.
187    
188     20070409:
189     RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
190     continue here.
191    
192 laffer1 906 20070406:
193     Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
194     with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
195     curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
196     multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
197     work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
198     patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
199    
200     It is more important to have a stable system for our
201     mport work and other projects at this time.
202    
203 laffer1 907 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
204     have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
205     or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
206     make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
207     of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
208     /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
209     your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
210     mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
211     chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
212     them.
213    
214     You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
215     this from libc.
216    
217     You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
218     installed.
219    
220 archite 886 20070401:
221     Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
222     provide us with much greater security and stability in the
223     long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
224     follow the these instructions:
225    
226     cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
227     cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
228 laffer1 893 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
229     cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
230 archite 886 buildworld and kernel
231    
232     It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
233     prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
234     or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
235     and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
236     fix.
237    
238 laffer1 842 20070314:
239     Remove send-pr from src.
240    
241     Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
242    
243     Bump MBSD minor revision.
244    
245 laffer1 832 20070313:
246     Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
247    
248     Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
249    
250     Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
251     the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
252    
253 laffer1 807 20070312:
254     Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
255     BSD Daemon files from src/share.
256    
257 laffer1 775 20070308:
258     Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
259     the Dell perc5i.
260    
261 archite 726 20070206:
262     Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
263     /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
264    
265     Those who install from a snapshot after this date
266     will not be effected.
267    
268 laffer1 708 20070119:
269     Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
270     before installing world.
271    
272     hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
273    
274     An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
275     unbreak world.
276    
277     wpa_supplicant was updated.
278    
279 laffer1 775 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
280     sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
281     fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
282     2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
283     will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
284 laffer1 708
285 laffer1 477 20061231:
286     Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
287    
288     Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
289    
290     Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
291     synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
292     to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
293     Feb 26, 2006.
294    
295     Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
296     dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
297     /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
298    
299     Numerous man page and bug fixes.
300    
301 laffer1 352 20061226:
302     Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
303 laffer1 376 MidnightBSD CVSup server.
304 laffer1 352
305 laffer1 376 Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
306     erasing CDRW media.
307    
308     Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
309     in C.
310    
311     Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
312    
313     Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
314     geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
315    
316 laffer1 352 20061225:
317     Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
318     that caused long double to long and long long
319     conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
320    
321     20061221:
322     Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
323     batteries are present.
324    
325     Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
326     RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
327    
328     Corrected a bug with TTY.
329    
330     20061218:
331     Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
332     threads don't get scheduled.
333    
334     20061206:
335     Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
336    
337     20061129:
338     Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
339    
340     Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
341     FreeBSD.
342    
343 laffer1 325 20061031:
344     Updated man pages in section 7.
345    
346     20061030:
347     Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
348     r300 cards properly.
349    
350     Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
351    
352     Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
353    
354 laffer1 305 20061027:
355     Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
356     random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
357     to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
358     commited.
359    
360     lukemftpd updated.
361    
362     openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
363     seeding.
364    
365 laffer1 273 20061014:
366     Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
367    
368     Started removal of alpha support.
369

378     the old ntpd daemon.
379 laffer1 63
380 laffer1 169 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
381     on a per line basis.
382 laffer1 5
383 laffer1 169 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
384     keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
385     improved with this patch.
386 laffer1 5
387 laffer1 169 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
388     increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
389 laffer1 5
390 laffer1 169 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
391 laffer1 5

396     the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
397 laffer1 5
398    
399    
400 laffer1 2 To build a kernel
401     -----------------
402 laffer1 169 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
403 laffer1 2 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
404     /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
405     make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
406     make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
407    
408     To test a kernel once
409     ---------------------
410     If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
411     if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
412     debugging information) run
413     make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
414     nextboot -k testkernel
415    
416     To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
417     --------------------------------------------------------------
418     This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
419     ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
420 laffer1 273 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
421 laffer1 2
422     cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
423     config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
424     cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
425     make depend
426     make
427     make install
428    
429     If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
430    
431     To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
432     -----------------------------------------------------------
433     # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
434     # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
435    
436     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
437     make buildworld
438     make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
439     [1]
440     <reboot in single user> [3]
441     mergemaster -p [5]
442     make installworld
443 laffer1 5 make delete-old
444 laffer1 2 mergemaster [4]
445     <reboot>
446    
447    
448     To cross-install current onto a separate partition
449     --------------------------------------------------
450     # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
451     # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
452     # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
453     # size.
454    
455     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
456     <boot into -stable>
457     make buildworld
458     make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
459     <maybe newfs current's root partition>
460     <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
461     make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
462     cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
463     make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
464     cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
465     <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
466     <reboot into current>
467     <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
468     <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
469     <reboot>
470    
471    
472     To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
473     -----------------------------------------------------------
474     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
475     make buildworld [9]
476     make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
477     [1]
478     <reboot in single user> [3]
479     mergemaster -p [5]
480     make installworld
481 laffer1 5 make delete-old
482 laffer1 2 mergemaster -i [4]
483     <reboot>
484    
485     Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
486     tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
487     cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
488     to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
489     the UPDATING entries.
490    
491     Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
492     freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
493     your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
494     messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
495     much fewer pitfalls.
496    
497     [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
498     should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
499     system on reboot.
500    
501     [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
502     fsck -p
503     mount -u /
504     mount -a
505     cd src
506     adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
507     Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
508     you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
509    
510     [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
511     can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
512     system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
513     that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
514     as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
515     for potential gotchas.
516    
517     [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
518     you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
519     step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
520    
521     [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
522     needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
523     option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
524     that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
525     is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
526    
527     Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
528     last time you updated your kernel config file.
529    
530     [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
531     cvs prune empty directories.
532    
533     If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
534     "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
535     override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
536    
537     MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
538     not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
539     warn if it is improperly defined.
