6 laffer1 3458 20100814:
7     libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in
8     Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is
9     licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
10     it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
11     may not like.

59     properly pass arguments to ld.
60    
61     re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
62     realtek chipsets. Performance has been improved on re(4).

75 laffer1 3238
76 laffer1 3233 posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and
77     install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
78     older current systems.
79    
80     kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
81    
82 laffer1 3225 20100106:
83     Bind security update. Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
84     cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
85    
86     Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
87    
88 laffer1 3218 20091228:
89     amdtemp(4) was added. It allows one to monitor to the temperature
90     of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
91    
92 laffer1 3205 20091205:
93     OpenSSL security fix
94    
95     The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
96     cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
97    
98     20091128:
99 laffer1 3199 OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)
100    
101 laffer1 3205 20091126:
102 laffer1 3194 OpenNTPD 4.4 import
103    
104 laffer1 3184 Update OpenSSH to 5.3p1
105    
106     mksh R39
107    
108 laffer1 3205 20091124:
109 laffer1 3164 cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15
110    
111     tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
112    
113 laffer1 3129 20091010:
114     amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
115     to test current.
116    
117     Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos
118     on amd64 systems.
119    
120 laffer1 3120 20091006:
121     Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
122     Argentina changes.
123    
124     Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
125     sbin and usr.sbin.
126    
127 laffer1 3044 20090919:
128     Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
129    
130 laffer1 3034 20090729:
131     Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
132     can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
133    
134 laffer1 3002 20090606:
135     Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work
136     as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
137     in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck
138     with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
139    
140     I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
141     fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
142     system which makes no sense.
143    
144     A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
145     the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support
146     but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on
147     an external device.
148    
149 laffer1 2910 20090520:
150     The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
151     compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new
152     installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
153     makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
154     out my new Phenom too.
155    
156 laffer1 2874 20090502:
157     OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
158    
159 laffer1 2910 ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
160    
161 laffer1 2857 20090501:
162     Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
163    
164 laffer1 2843 20090422:
165     OpenSSL security update
166    
167     The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
168     of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
169    
170 laffer1 2836 20090415:
171     Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
172    
173     Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
174    
175     Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
176     tools to fail.
177    
178 laffer1 2745 20090405:
179     xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
180 laffer1 2746 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
181 laffer1 2745 add
182     Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
183     to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
184     kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
185    
186     20090403:
187 laffer1 2735 mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
188     buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back
189     for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
190     MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
191     but we may change this later. This will allow further
192     testing by users and developers of mksh without
193     causing an unpleasant default experience. In the
194     long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
195    
196 laffer1 2702 20090328:
197     Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
198     and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
199     as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with
200     ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
201     as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
202     an optional build parameter.
203    
204     ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
205     the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
206    
207     Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
208     default for login and profile.
209    
210 laffer1 2672 20090327:
211     Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
212    
213     Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
214     to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
215     on mports.
216    
217 laffer1 2654 20090325:
218     Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
219    
220     Update mksh to R36b
221    
222     Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
223    
224     Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
225    
226 laffer1 2524 20090115:
227     Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
228    
229     20090110:
230 laffer1 2511 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
231     certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be
232     used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
233    
234     Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
235     affected.
236    
237 laffer1 2513 Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
238    
239 laffer1 2524 20090104:
240 laffer1 2501 Import GNU libreadline 5.2
241    
242 laffer1 2524 20090101:
243 laffer1 2485 Update time zone data to 2008i.
244    
245 laffer1 2481 20081231:
246     Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
247     properly initialized.
248    
249     Happy 2009.
250    
251 laffer1 2399 20081206:
252     Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
253     we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was
254     changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
255     using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
256    
257     The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider
258     i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
259    
260     mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
261    
262     batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and
263     runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output
264     shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
265     percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
266     -c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more.
267    
268 laffer1 2360 20081204:
269     Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
270     new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
271     support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
272     openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
273     intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
274    
275     Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
276     data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means
277     testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
278     and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
279     sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
280    
281 laffer1 1809 20080905:
282     update nve(4) to support new hardware.
283    
284 laffer1 1794 20080801:
285     Import OpenBSM 1.0
286

289     etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
290    
291     Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
292    
293     The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
294    
295 laffer1 1724 20080703:
296     pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
297     or posibly jails.
298    
299 laffer1 1672 20080627:
300     Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
301    
302     Add glabel to GENERIC.
303    
304     Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
305    
306     pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
307    
308 laffer1 1678 ath added to GENERIC. (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
309    
310 laffer1 1642 20080528:
311     Sendmail 8.14.3
312    
313 laffer1 1598 20080516:
314     ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
315     were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
316     few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
317     option.
318    
319     The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
320    
321     20080514:
322     Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
323     to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
324     by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
325     install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
326     GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
327    
328     System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
329     on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
330    
331 laffer1 1561 20080430:
332     __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
333     to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
334    
335 laffer1 1559 20080429:
336     Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
337    
338     libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
339    
340     pcvt(4) removed!
341    
342     Alias added for core2 cpus.
343    
344     Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
345    
346     syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
347     improved. See the man pages for info.
348    
349     periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
350     See mailwrapper fix.
351    
352 laffer1 1462 20080410:
353     Sync cpdup with DragonFly. Add parallel transaction support and
354     -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
355

365     .mkshrc files are now installed for root.
366    
367 laffer1 1420 20080316:
368     FIx a problem with gif0 tunnels and neighbors with IPV6.
369    
370     20080312:

372    
373     New OS versions were added to the mapage code (groff)
374    
375     20080310:

377    
378     20080308:
379     Remove /usr/X11R6 from manpath config.
380    
381     20080307:
382     Atheros driver no longer has several options set
383     which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
384    
385     Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
386     thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
387    
388     Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
389     I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
390     My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
391    
392     20080306:
393     Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
394     Developers can now use it to check src builds.

452 laffer1 1228 20070911:
453     Updated mksh to version R31b.
454    
455     Fixed stderr output in libpthread. Previously it was
456     written to stdout.
457    
458 laffer1 1214 20070831:
459     Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
460     mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
461    
462     Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
463     with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
464     or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
465     ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
466     change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
467     enabled by default.
468    
469 laffer1 1192 20070814:
470     Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
471     for awhile.
472    
473 laffer1 1143 20070806:
474     Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.

481 laffer1 1060 20070719:
482     Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
483    
484 laffer1 1055 20070716:
485     Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
486    
487 laffer1 939 20070410:
488     cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
489     cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
490     most of their local changes.
491    
492     20070409:
493     RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
494     continue here.
495    
496 laffer1 906 20070406:
497     Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
498     with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
499     curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
500     multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
501     work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
502     patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
503    
504     It is more important to have a stable system for our
505     mport work and other projects at this time.
506    
507 laffer1 907 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
508     have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
509     or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
510     make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
511     of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
512     /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
513     your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
514     mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
515     chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
516     them.
517    
518     You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
519     this from libc.
520    
521     You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
522     installed.
523    
524 archite 886 20070401:
525     Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
526     provide us with much greater security and stability in the
527     long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
528     follow the these instructions:
529    
530     cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
531     cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
532 laffer1 893 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
533     cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
534 archite 886 buildworld and kernel
535    
536     It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
537     prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
538     or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
539     and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
540     fix.
541    
542 laffer1 842 20070314:
543     Remove send-pr from src.
544    
545     Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
546    
547     Bump MBSD minor revision.
548    
549 laffer1 832 20070313:
550     Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
551    
552     Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
553    
554     Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
555     the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
556    
557 laffer1 807 20070312:
558     Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
559     BSD Daemon files from src/share.
560    
561 laffer1 775 20070308:
562     Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
563     the Dell perc5i.
564    
565 archite 726 20070206:
566     Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
567     /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
568    
569     Those who install from a snapshot after this date
570     will not be effected.
571    
572 laffer1 708 20070119:
573     Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
574     before installing world.
575    
576     hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
577    
578     An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
579     unbreak world.
580    
581     wpa_supplicant was updated.
582    
583 laffer1 775 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
584     sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
585     fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
586     2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
587     will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
588 laffer1 708
589 laffer1 477 20061231:
590     Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
591    
592     Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
593    
594     Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
595     synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
596     to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
597     Feb 26, 2006.
598    
599     Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
600     dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
601     /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
602    
603     Numerous man page and bug fixes.
604    
605 laffer1 352 20061226:
606     Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
607 laffer1 376 MidnightBSD CVSup server.
608 laffer1 352
609 laffer1 376 Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
610     erasing CDRW media.
611    
612     Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
613     in C.
614    
615     Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
616    
617     Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
618     geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
619    
620 laffer1 352 20061225:
621     Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
622     that caused long double to long and long long
623     conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
624    
625     20061221:
626     Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
627     batteries are present.
628    
629     Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
630     RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
631    
632     Corrected a bug with TTY.
633    
634     20061218:
635     Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
636     threads don't get scheduled.
637    
638     20061206:
639     Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
640    
641     20061129:
642     Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
643    
644     Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
645     FreeBSD.
646    
647 laffer1 325 20061031:
648     Updated man pages in section 7.
649    
650     20061030:
651     Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
652     r300 cards properly.
653    
654     Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
655    
656     Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
657    
658 laffer1 305 20061027:
659     Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
660     random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
661     to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
662     commited.
663    
664     lukemftpd updated.
665    
666     openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
667     seeding.
668    
669 laffer1 273 20061014:
670     Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
671    
672     Started removal of alpha support.
673    
674     20061013:
675     ATA driver was updated. USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
676    
677     20061010:
678 laffer1 305 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
679 laffer1 273
680 laffer1 169 20060909:
681     OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
682     the old ntpd daemon.
683 laffer1 63
684 laffer1 169 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
685     on a per line basis.
686 laffer1 5
687 laffer1 169 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
688     keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
689     improved with this patch.
690 laffer1 5
691 laffer1 169 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
692     increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
693 laffer1 5
694 laffer1 169 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
695 laffer1 5
696 laffer1 169 Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
697 laffer1 5
698 laffer1 169 20060817:
699     ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
700     the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
701 laffer1 5
702    
703    
704 laffer1 2 To build a kernel
705     -----------------
706 laffer1 169 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
707 laffer1 2 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
708     /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
709     make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
710     make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
711    
712     To test a kernel once
713     ---------------------
714     If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
715     if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
716     debugging information) run
717     make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
718     nextboot -k testkernel
719    
720     To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
721     --------------------------------------------------------------
722     This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
723     ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
724 laffer1 273 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
725 laffer1 2
726     cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
727     config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
728     cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
729     make depend
730     make
731     make install
732    
733     If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
734    
735     To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
736     -----------------------------------------------------------
737     # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
738     # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
739    
740     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
741     make buildworld
742     make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
743     [1]
744     <reboot in single user> [3]
745     mergemaster -p [5]
746     make installworld
747 laffer1 5 make delete-old
748 laffer1 2 mergemaster [4]
749     <reboot>
750    
751    
752     To cross-install current onto a separate partition
753     --------------------------------------------------
754     # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
755     # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
756     # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
757     # size.
758    
759     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
760     <boot into -stable>
761     make buildworld
762     make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
763     <maybe newfs current's root partition>
764     <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
765     make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
766     cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
767     make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
768     cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
769     <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
770     <reboot into current>
771     <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
772     <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
773     <reboot>
774    
775    
776     To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
777     -----------------------------------------------------------
778     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
779     make buildworld [9]
780     make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
781     [1]
782     <reboot in single user> [3]
783     mergemaster -p [5]
784     make installworld
785 laffer1 5 make delete-old
786 laffer1 2 mergemaster -i [4]
787     <reboot>
788    
789     Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
790     tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
791     cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
792     to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
793     the UPDATING entries.
794    
795     Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
796     freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
797     your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
798     messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
799     much fewer pitfalls.
800    
801     [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
802     should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
803     system on reboot.
804    
805     [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
806     fsck -p
807     mount -u /
808     mount -a
809     cd src
810     adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
811     Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
812     you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
813    
814     [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
815     can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
816     system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
817     that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
818     as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
819     for potential gotchas.
820    
821     [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
822     you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
823     step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
824    
825     [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
826     needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
827     option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
828     that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
829     is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
830    
831     Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
832     last time you updated your kernel config file.
833    
834     [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
835     cvs prune empty directories.
836    
837     If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
838     "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
839     override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
840    
841     MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
842     not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
843     warn if it is improperly defined.
