3 laffer1 6908 20141031:
4     tnftp 20141031 fixes a security vulnerability with tnftp,
5     CVE-2014-8517.
6    
7 laffer1 6898 20141028:
8     OpenSSL 0.9.8zc
9    
10 laffer1 6886 20141021:
11     Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
12     and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
13     nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
14    
15     The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
16     attempt to answer them. However, the output path assumes that the
17     destination address for the response is on a directly connected
18     network.
19    
20     Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
21     a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
22     overflow in rtsold(8).
23    
24 laffer1 6851 20141011:
25     mksh R50d - fix field splitting regression and null
26     pointer dereference
27    
28 laffer1 6862 xz 5.0.7
29    
30 laffer1 6865 OpenSSH 6.6p1
31    
32 laffer1 6841 20141004:
33     mksh R50c - security update for environment var bug with
34     foo vs foo+
35    
36 laffer1 6812 20141002:
37     sqlite 3.8.6
38    
39     sudo 1.7.8 - some issues with the current version, but we're slowly
40     getting up to date.
41    
42 laffer1 6801 20141001:
43     mksh R50b
44    
45     libmport now supports plist commands @dir, @owner, @group, @mode.
46    
47 laffer1 6805 sudo 1.7.6p2
48    
49 laffer1 6768 20140916:
50     Fix a security issue with TCP SYN.
51    
52     When a segment with the SYN flag for an already existing connection arrives,
53     the TCP stack tears down the connection, bypassing a check that the
54     sequence number in the segment is in the expected window.
55    
56 laffer1 6750 20140909:
57     Fixed a bug with our clearenv(3) implementation that caused segfaults
58     with some programs including Dovecot.
59    
60 laffer1 6754 OpenSSL security patch:
61    
62     The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS handshake message may cause OpenSSL
63     to consume large amounts of memory. [CVE-2014-3506]
64    
65     The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS packet could cause OpenSSL to leak
66     memory. [CVE-2014-3507]
67    
68     A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
69     X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
70     the stack. [CVE-2014-3508]
71    
72     OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject to
73     a denial of service attack. [CVE-2014-3510]
74    
75 laffer1 6740 20140902:
76     We're now 0.6-CURRENT
77

79     other devices.
80    
81 laffer1 6724 20140827:
82     Perl 5.18.2
83    
84 laffer1 6718 20140728:
85     Jails now run shutdown scripts.
86    
87 laffer1 6713 20140710:

89     before sharing with userland.
90    
91 laffer1 6711 20140701:
92     MKSH R50
93

98     Fix four security issues with OpenSSL
99    
100 laffer1 6657 20140604:
101     Sendmail failed to properly set close-on-exec for open file descriptors.
102    
103     ktrace page fault kernel trace entries were set to an incorrect size which resulted
104     in a leak of information.
105    
106 laffer1 6652 20140430:
107     Fix a TCP reassembly bug that could result in a DOS attack
108     of the system. It may be possible to obtain portions
109     of kernel memory as well.
110    
111 laffer1 6638 20140411:
112     Update zlib to 1.2.7
113    
114 laffer1 6606 20140122:

116    
117 laffer1 6601 20140114:
118     Fix two security vulnerabilities.
119    
120     bsnmpd contains a stack overflow when sent certain queries.
121    
122     bind 9.8 when using NSEC3-signed zones zones, will crash with special
123     crafted packets.
124    
125 laffer1 6572 20131228:
126     Imported FreeBSD 9.2 usb stack (plus z87 patches from stable)
127    
128     Updated em(4), igb(4) and ixgbe(4)
129    
130     MidnightBSD now works with Z87 Intel chipsets.
131    
132 laffer1 6468 20131207:
133     Remove sparc64 architecture. It hasn't been working for awhile
134     and it's not useful for desktops anymore.
135    
136 laffer1 6466 20131205:
137     OpenSSH 6.4p1
138    
139 laffer1 6457 20131203:
140     Perl 5.18.1 imported.
141    
142     Update less to v458
143    
144 laffer1 6427 20131130:
145     Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for
146     now until replacements can be found.
147    
148 laffer1 6044 20131004:
149     rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD)
150    
151 laffer1 6039 20130917:
152     Support for 65,536 routing tables was added. A new fib specific
153     field has been added to mbuf. This is an increase from 16.
154    
155 laffer1 6032 20130910:
156     Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
157    
158     nullfs(5)
159    
160     The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
161     check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
162     nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
163     location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
164     underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
165    
166     ifioctl
167    
168     As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
169     handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
170     passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
171     return an error code.
172    
173     Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
174     SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
175     handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
176     validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer
177     actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
178     and resetting the underlying hardware.
179    
180 laffer1 6003 20130824:
181     Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
182     handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
183     FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
184     will be included in the next release.
185    
186 laffer1 6018 Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
187     binary. It has limited functionality, but can be used to
188     checkout/commit code. It is named svnlite.
189    
190 laffer1 5969 20130822:
191     Fix two security vulnerabilities.
192    
193     Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
194     This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
195    
196     When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
197     a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.
198    
199 laffer1 5976 Import xz 5.0.4
200    
201 laffer1 5982 Import sqlite 3.7.17

235 laffer1 5706 OpenSSH 5.8p2 imported
236    
237 laffer1 5697 SQLite 3.7.15.2 imported
238    
239     Fixed a longstanding bug in libmport extrating new index files.
240    
241 laffer1 5038 20120710:
242     BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT
243    
244     For now, GNU sort is installed as gnusort, but it will
245     go away in time.
246    
247 laffer1 5031 20120708:
248     tcsh 6.18.01 imported.
249    
250     NetBSD's iconv imported.
251    
252     libc gains strnlen(3), memrchr(3), stpncpy(3).
253    
254 laffer1 4915 20120612:
255     BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667.
256    
257     Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting
258     in a DOS attack or information disclosure.
259    
260 laffer1 4811 20120407:
261     mksh R40f (fixes regression)
262    
263 laffer1 4756 20120328:
264     mksh R40e
265    
266 laffer1 4761 Perl 5.14.2
267

270    
271 laffer1 4636 20120209:
272     mDNSResponder 333.10 imported
273    
274 laffer1 4476 20111227:
275     import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8)
276    
277     This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel
278     memory.
279    
280 laffer1 4458 20111223:
281 laffer1 4464 telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked
282    
283 laffer1 4463 pam: don't allow escape from policy path. Exploitable in KDE, etc.
284    
285 laffer1 4461 Fix pam_ssh module:
286    
287     If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
288     to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
289    
290     This has to due with the way that openssl works. It ignores unencrpted data.
291    
292 laffer1 4458 Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
293    
294     nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
295     operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
296     hole in things like ftpd.
297    
298 laffer1 4454 20111217:
299     libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not
300     backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog
301    
302 laffer1 4439 20111212:
303     mksh r40d imported
304    
305 laffer1 4431 20111210:
306     re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
307    
308     GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable.
309    
310     MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and
311     setup in boot loader and GEOM.
312    
313     amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support
314     8xx series chipset.
315    
316 laffer1 4408 20111207:
317     import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
318    
319     MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
320     as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
321    
322 laffer1 4367 20111122:
323     mksh vR40c imported.
324    
325 laffer1 4350 20111117:
326     BIND 9.6 ESV R5 P1
327

338    
339 laffer1 4260 20111020:
340     less v436 imported
341    
342     amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
343    
344 laffer1 4241 20111019:
345     awk 20110810 imported
346    
347 laffer1 4260 et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but
348     not included in GENERIC kernel. The kernel module needs
349     testing before we can include it in GENERIC.
350    
351     intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
352     specific CPU core.
353    
354 laffer1 4230 20111017:
355     Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011)
356    
357     Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
358    
359 laffer1 4215 20111015:
360     Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
361     to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
362     process. Several new system calls were added to support this
363     functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
364     compatibility on amd64.
365    
366     The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
367     amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
368     for this feature.
369    
370     This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
371    
372 laffer1 4199 20111004:
373     Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
374     patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
375     apps to work under the linuxolator again.
376    
377 laffer1 4196 20111001:
378     Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
379     now default and an environment variable must be set to use
380     active.
381    
382 laffer1 4193 20110930:
383     Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
384     USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
385    
386     Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
387     Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
388     when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
389     offloading.
390    
391     Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
392     working with large raid3 sets.
393    
394     Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
395    
396 laffer1 4176 20110929:
397     Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
398    
399 laffer1 4193 The following modules are no longer available, and should be
400     removed from loader.conf:
401     ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
402    
403 laffer1 4176 alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
404     required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
405     a connection could be established. Disable hibernation.
406    
407 laffer1 4166 20110928:
408     Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
409     files that are corrupted.
410    
411     Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
412    
413 laffer1 4156 20110917:
414     Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as
415     it's in the base system.
416    
417 laffer1 4153 20110914:
418     Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3
419    
420 laffer1 4117 20110813:
421     synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64.
422    
423 laffer1 4101 20110806:
424     sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
425    
426     msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides
427     a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used
428     to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
429     index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
430     /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable
431     space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
432    
433     Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
434     versions. This will be obsolete with mport though.
435    
436 laffer1 4022 20110710:
437     kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
438     know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
439    
440     Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
441    
442 laffer1 4006 20110709:
443     cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
444     with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
445    
446 laffer1 3973 20110612:
447     Update mksh to R40
448    
449     Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when
450     updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
451    
452 laffer1 3953 20110528:
453     Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers.
454    
455 laffer1 3951 20110526:
456     newfs:
457     Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
458     16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
459    
460     This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
461     hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
462     have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course
463     the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
464    
465 laffer1 3949 20110521:
466     mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove
467     all packages from a system.
468    
469     A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
470    
471 laffer1 3932 20110518:
472     Perl 5.14.0
473    
474     20110517:
475     Sendmail 8.14.5
476    
477 laffer1 3892 20110314:
478     DRM/DRI code updated to support newer video cards. (FreeBSD 7.1)

506 laffer1 3776 20110216:
507     Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
508     igb(4) and em(4). Newer devices use igb(4). The code has moved
509     to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
510     been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
511    
512     Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL.
513

553     A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
554     processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
555     numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
556    
557 laffer1 3565 20101120:
558     Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
559     systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
560     to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
561     our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
562     which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
563    
564     newfs and growfs was also modified.
565    
566 laffer1 3556 20101110:
567     Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
568     context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file
569     systems such as procfs for instance.
570    
571 laffer1 3543 20101021:
572     sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
573     This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
574     written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.

583 laffer1 3483 20100902:
584     Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
585     login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
586     the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
587    
588 laffer1 3476 20100822:
589     Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
590    
591 laffer1 3458 20100814:
592     libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in
593     Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is
594     licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
595     it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
596     may not like.

661 laffer1 3233 posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and
662     install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
663     older current systems.
664    
665     kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
666    
667 laffer1 3225 20100106:

669     cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
670    
671     Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
672    
673 laffer1 3218 20091228:
674     amdtemp(4) was added. It allows one to monitor to the temperature
675     of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
676    
677 laffer1 3205 20091205:
678     OpenSSL security fix
679    
680     The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
681     cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
682

697    
698 laffer1 3129 20091010:
699     amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
700     to test current.
701    
702     Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos
703     on amd64 systems.
704    
705 laffer1 3120 20091006:
706     Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
707     Argentina changes.
708    
709     Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
710     sbin and usr.sbin.
711

713     Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
714    
715 laffer1 3034 20090729:
716     Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
717     can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
718    
719 laffer1 3002 20090606:
720     Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work
721     as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
722     in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck
723     with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
724    
725     I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
726     fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
727     system which makes no sense.
728    
729     A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
730     the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support
731     but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on
732     an external device.
733    
734 laffer1 2910 20090520:
735     The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
736     compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new
737     installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
738     makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
739     out my new Phenom too.
740    
741 laffer1 2874 20090502:
742     OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
743    
744 laffer1 2910 ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
745    
746 laffer1 2857 20090501:

748    
749 laffer1 2843 20090422:
750     OpenSSL security update
751    
752     The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
753     of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
754    
755 laffer1 2836 20090415:
756     Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
757    
758     Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
759    
760     Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
761     tools to fail.
762    
763 laffer1 2745 20090405:
764     xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
765 laffer1 2746 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
766 laffer1 2745 add
767     Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
768     to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
769     kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
770    
771     20090403:
772 laffer1 2735 mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
773     buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back
774     for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
775     MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
776     but we may change this later. This will allow further
777     testing by users and developers of mksh without
778     causing an unpleasant default experience. In the
779     long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
780    
781 laffer1 2702 20090328:
782     Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
783     and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
784     as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with
785     ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
786     as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
787     an optional build parameter.
788    
789     ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
790     the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
791    
792     Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
793     default for login and profile.
794    
795 laffer1 2672 20090327:
796     Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
797    
798     Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
799     to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
800     on mports.
801    
802 laffer1 2654 20090325:
803     Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
804    
805     Update mksh to R36b
806    
807     Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
808    
809     Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
810    
811 laffer1 2524 20090115:
812     Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
813    
814     20090110:
815 laffer1 2511 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
816     certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be
817     used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
818    
819     Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
820     affected.
821    
822 laffer1 2513 Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd

829    
830 laffer1 2481 20081231:
831     Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
832     properly initialized.
833    
834     Happy 2009.
835    
836 laffer1 2399 20081206:
837     Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
838     we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was
839     changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
840     using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
841    
842     The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider
843     i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
844    
845     mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
846    
847     batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and
848     runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output
849     shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
850     percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
851     -c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more.
852    
853 laffer1 2360 20081204:
854     Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
855     new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
856     support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
857     openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
858     intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
859    
860     Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
861     data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means
862     testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
863     and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
864     sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
865    
866 laffer1 1809 20080905:
867     update nve(4) to support new hardware.
868    
869 laffer1 1794 20080801:

874     etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
875    
876     Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
877    
878     The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
879    
880 laffer1 1724 20080703:
881     pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
882     or posibly jails.
883    
884 laffer1 1672 20080627:
885     Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
886    
887     Add glabel to GENERIC.
888    
889     Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
890    
891     pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
892    
893 laffer1 1678 ath added to GENERIC. (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
894    
895 laffer1 1642 20080528:
896     Sendmail 8.14.3
897    
898 laffer1 1598 20080516:
899     ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
900     were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
901     few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
902     option.
903    
904     The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
905    
906     20080514:
907     Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
908     to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
909     by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
910     install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
911     GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
912    
913     System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
914     on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
915    
916 laffer1 1561 20080430:
917     __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
918     to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
919    
920 laffer1 1559 20080429:
921     Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
922    
923     libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier

927     Alias added for core2 cpus.
928    
929     Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
930    
931     syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
932     improved. See the man pages for info.
933    
934     periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
935     See mailwrapper fix.
936    
937 laffer1 1462 20080410:
938     Sync cpdup with DragonFly. Add parallel transaction support and
939     -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.

967     Atheros driver no longer has several options set
968     which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
969    
970     Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
971     thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
972    
973     Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
974     I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
975     My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
976    
977     20080306:
978     Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
979     Developers can now use it to check src builds.

1026     Happy New Year
1027    
1028 laffer1 1345 20071123:
1029     Update sendmail to 8.14.2
1030    
1031 laffer1 1339 20071120:
1032     Update system compiler to gcc 3.4.6.
1033    
1034 laffer1 1345 20071023:
1035     Updated mksh to R31d.
1036    
1037 laffer1 1228 20070911:
1038     Updated mksh to version R31b.
1039    
1040     Fixed stderr output in libpthread. Previously it was
1041     written to stdout.
1042    
1043 laffer1 1214 20070831:
1044     Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
1045     mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
1046    
1047     Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
1048     with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
1049     or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
1050     ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
1051     change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
1052     enabled by default.
1053    
1054 laffer1 1192 20070814:
1055     Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
1056     for awhile.
1057    
1058 laffer1 1143 20070806:
1059     Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
1060    
1061     20070804:
1062     BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
1063    
1064     We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
1065    
1066 laffer1 1060 20070719:
1067     Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
1068    
1069 laffer1 1055 20070716:
1070     Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
1071    
1072 laffer1 939 20070410:
1073     cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
1074     cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
1075     most of their local changes.
1076    
1077     20070409:
1078     RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
1079     continue here.
1080    
1081 laffer1 906 20070406:
1082     Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
1083     with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
1084     curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
1085     multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
1086     work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
1087     patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
1088    
1089     It is more important to have a stable system for our
1090     mport work and other projects at this time.
1091    
1092 laffer1 907 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
1093     have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
1094     or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
1095     make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
1096     of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
1097     /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
1098     your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
1099     mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
1100     chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
1101     them.
1102    
1103     You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
1104     this from libc.
1105    
1106     You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
1107     installed.
1108    
1109 archite 886 20070401:
1110     Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
1111     provide us with much greater security and stability in the
1112     long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
1113     follow the these instructions:
1114    
1115     cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
1116     cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
1117 laffer1 893 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
1118     cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
1119 archite 886 buildworld and kernel
1120    
1121     It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
1122     prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
1123     or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
1124     and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
1125     fix.
1126    
1127 laffer1 842 20070314:
1128     Remove send-pr from src.
1129    
1130     Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
1131    
1132     Bump MBSD minor revision.
1133    
1134 laffer1 832 20070313:
1135     Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
1136    
1137     Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
1138    
1139     Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
1140     the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
1141    
1142 laffer1 807 20070312:
1143     Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
1144     BSD Daemon files from src/share.
1145    
1146 laffer1 775 20070308:
1147     Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
1148     the Dell perc5i.
1149    
1150 archite 726 20070206:
1151     Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
1152     /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
1153    
1154     Those who install from a snapshot after this date
1155     will not be effected.
1156    
1157 laffer1 708 20070119:
1158     Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
1159     before installing world.
1160    
1161     hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
1162    
1163     An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
1164     unbreak world.
1165    
1166     wpa_supplicant was updated.
1167    
1168 laffer1 775 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
1169     sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
1170     fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
1171     2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
1172     will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
1173 laffer1 708
1174 laffer1 477 20061231:
1175     Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
1176    
1177     Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
1178    
1179     Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
1180     synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
1181     to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
1182     Feb 26, 2006.
1183    
1184     Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
1185     dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
1186     /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
1187    
1188     Numerous man page and bug fixes.
1189    
1190 laffer1 352 20061226:
1191     Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
1192 laffer1 376 MidnightBSD CVSup server.
1193 laffer1 352
1194 laffer1 376 Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
1195     erasing CDRW media.
1196    
1197     Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
1198     in C.
1199    
1200     Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
1201    
1202     Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
1203     geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
1204    
1205 laffer1 352 20061225:
1206     Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
1207     that caused long double to long and long long
1208     conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
1209    
1210     20061221:
1211     Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
1212     batteries are present.
1213    
1214     Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
1215     RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
1216    
1217     Corrected a bug with TTY.
1218    
1219     20061218:
1220     Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
1221     threads don't get scheduled.
1222    
1223     20061206:
1224     Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
1225    
1226     20061129:
1227     Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
1228    
1229     Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
1230     FreeBSD.
1231    
1232 laffer1 325 20061031:
1233     Updated man pages in section 7.
1234    
1235     20061030:
1236     Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
1237     r300 cards properly.
1238    
1239     Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
1240    
1241     Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
1242    
1243 laffer1 305 20061027:
1244     Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
1245     random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
1246     to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
1247     commited.
1248    
1249     lukemftpd updated.
1250    
1251     openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
1252     seeding.
1253    
1254 laffer1 273 20061014:
1255     Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
1256    
1257     Started removal of alpha support.
1258    
1259     20061013:
1260     ATA driver was updated. USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
1261    
1262     20061010:
1263 laffer1 305 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
1264 laffer1 273
1265 laffer1 169 20060909:
1266     OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
1267     the old ntpd daemon.
1268 laffer1 63
1269 laffer1 169 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
1270     on a per line basis.
1271 laffer1 5
1272 laffer1 169 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
1273     keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
1274     improved with this patch.
1275 laffer1 5
1276 laffer1 169 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
1277     increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
1278 laffer1 5
1279 laffer1 169 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
1280 laffer1 5
1281 laffer1 169 Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
1282 laffer1 5
1283 laffer1 169 20060817:
1284     ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
1285     the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
1286 laffer1 5
1287    
1288    
1289 laffer1 2 To build a kernel
1290     -----------------
1291 laffer1 169 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
1292 laffer1 2 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
1293     /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
1294     make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1295     make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1296    
1297     To test a kernel once
1298     ---------------------
1299     If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
1300     if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
1301     debugging information) run
1302     make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
1303     nextboot -k testkernel
1304    
1305     To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1306     --------------------------------------------------------------
1307     This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
1308     ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1309 laffer1 273 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
1310 laffer1 2
1311     cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
1312     config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1313     cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1314     make depend
1315     make
1316     make install
1317    
1318     If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
1319    
1320     To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
1321     -----------------------------------------------------------
1322     # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
1323     # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
1324    
1325     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1326     make buildworld
1327     make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1328     [1]
1329     <reboot in single user> [3]
1330     mergemaster -p [5]
1331     make installworld
1332 laffer1 5 make delete-old
1333 laffer1 2 mergemaster [4]
1334     <reboot>
1335    
1336    
1337     To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1338     --------------------------------------------------
1339     # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1340     # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
1341     # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
1342     # size.
1343    
1344     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1345     <boot into -stable>
1346     make buildworld
1347     make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1348     <maybe newfs current's root partition>
1349     <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
1350     make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
1351     cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
1352     make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
1353     cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
1354     <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
1355     <reboot into current>
1356     <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
1357     <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
1358     <reboot>
1359    
1360    
1361     To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
1362     -----------------------------------------------------------
1363     <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1364     make buildworld [9]
1365     make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
1366     [1]
1367     <reboot in single user> [3]
1368     mergemaster -p [5]
1369     make installworld
1370 laffer1 5 make delete-old
1371 laffer1 2 mergemaster -i [4]
1372     <reboot>
1373    
1374     Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1375     tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
1376     cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1377     to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1378     the UPDATING entries.
1379    
1380     Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
1381     freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
1382     your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
1383     messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
1384     much fewer pitfalls.
1385    
1386     [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1387     should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1388     system on reboot.
1389    
1390     [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1391     fsck -p
1392     mount -u /
1393     mount -a
1394     cd src
1395     adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
1396     Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1397     you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1398    
1399     [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
1400     can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1401     system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1402     that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1403     as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
1404     for potential gotchas.
1405    
1406     [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
1407     you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1408     step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
1409    
1410     [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
1411     needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
1412     option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
1413     that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
1414     is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.

1416     Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the

1419     [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
1420     cvs prune empty directories.

1422     If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
1423     "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
1424     override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
1425    
1426     MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
1427     not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
1428     warn if it is improperly defined.
