Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos |
| 8 |
+ |
on amd64 systems. |

20091006: |

Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and |
| 12 |
+ |
Argentina changes. |
| 13 |
+ |
|
| 14 |
+ |
Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in |
| 15 |
+ |
sbin and usr.sbin. |
| 16 |
+ |
|
| 17 |
+ |
20090919: |
| 18 |
+ |
Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009. |

Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet |
| 22 |
+ |
can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit |
| 23 |
+ |
|
| 24 |
+ |
20090606: |
| 25 |
+ |
Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work |
| 26 |
+ |
as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment |
| 27 |
+ |
in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck |
| 28 |
+ |
with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum. |
| 29 |
+ |
|
| 30 |
+ |
I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is |
| 31 |
+ |
fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base |
| 32 |
+ |
system which makes no sense. |
| 33 |
+ |
|
| 34 |
+ |
A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to |
| 35 |
+ |
the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support |
| 36 |
+ |
but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on |
| 37 |
+ |
an external device. |
| 38 |
+ |

The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve |
| 41 |
+ |
compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new |
| 42 |
+ |
installer option in the startup section to enable it. This |
| 43 |
+ |
makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks |
| 44 |
+ |
out my new Phenom too. |
| 45 |
+ |
|

OpenSSH 5.2p1 import |
| 48 |
+ |
|
| 49 |
+ |
ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only) |
| 50 |
+ |
|
| 51 |
+ |
20090501: |
| 52 |
+ |
Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD |
| 53 |
+ |
|
| 54 |
+ |
20090422: |
| 55 |
+ |
OpenSSL security update |
| 56 |
+ |
|
| 57 |
+ |
The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths |
| 58 |
+ |
of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them. |
| 59 |
+ |
|
| 60 |
+ |
20090415: |
| 61 |
+ |
Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols |
| 62 |
+ |
|
| 63 |
+ |
Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities. |
| 64 |
+ |
|
| 65 |
+ |
Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap |
| 66 |
+ |
tools to fail. |
| 67 |
+ |
|
| 68 |

+ |
xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not |
| 70 |
+ |
yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then |
| 71 |
+ |
add |
| 72 |
+ |
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" |
| 73 |
+ |
to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured |
| 74 |
+ |
kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf |
| 75 |
+ |
|

mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with |
| 78 |
+ |
buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back |
| 79 |
+ |
for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called |
| 80 |
+ |
MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh |
| 81 |
+ |
but we may change this later. This will allow further |
| 82 |
+ |
testing by users and developers of mksh without |
| 83 |
+ |
causing an unpleasant default experience. In the |
| 84 |
+ |
long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility. |
| 85 |
+ |
|
| 86 |
+ |
20090328: |
| 87 |
+ |
Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root |
| 88 |
+ |
and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1) |
| 89 |
+ |
as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with |
| 90 |
+ |
ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile |
| 91 |
+ |
as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as |
| 92 |
+ |
an optional build parameter. |
| 93 |
+ |
|
| 94 |
+ |
ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until |
| 95 |
+ |
the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?) |
| 96 |
+ |
|
| 97 |
+ |
Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the |
| 98 |
+ |
default for login and profile. |
| 99 |
+ |
|
| 100 |
+ |
20090327: |
| 101 |
+ |
Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio. |
| 102 |
+ |
|
| 103 |
+ |
Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10 |
| 104 |
+ |
to the build (part of os). This will have an impact |
| 105 |
+ |
on mports. |
| 106 |
+ |
|
| 107 |
+ |
20090325: |
| 108 |
+ |
Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1 |
| 109 |
+ |
|
| 110 |
+ |
Update mksh to R36b |
| 111 |
+ |
|
| 112 |
+ |
Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current. |
| 113 |
+ |
|
| 114 |
+ |
Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD. |
| 115 |
+ |
|
| 116 |
|
20090115: |
