[ViewVC] Annotation of: src/trunk/UPDATING

Updating Information for MidnightBSD users

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

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.

214			-----------------------------------------------------------
215			<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
216			make buildworld [9]
217			make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
218			[1]
219			<reboot in single user> [3]
220			mergemaster -p [5]

225
226			Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
227			tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
228			cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
229			to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
230			the UPDATING entries.
231
232			Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
233			freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
234			your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
235			messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
236			much fewer pitfalls.
237
238			[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
239			should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
240			system on reboot.
241
242			[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
243			fsck -p
244			mount -u /
245			mount -a
246			cd src
247			adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
248			Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
249			you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
250
251			[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
252			can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
253			system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
254			that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
255			as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
256			for potential gotchas.
257
258			[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
259			you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
260			step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
261
262			[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
263			needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
264			option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
265			that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
266			is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
267
268			Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
269			last time you updated your kernel config file.
270
271			[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
272			cvs prune empty directories.
273
274			If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
275			"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
276			override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
277
278			MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
279			not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
280			warn if it is improperly defined.
