| 7 |
Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way, |
| 8 |
we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was |
| 9 |
changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected |
| 10 |
using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider |
| 13 |
i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and |
| 18 |
runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output |
| 19 |
shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the |
| 20 |
percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or |
| 21 |
-c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
20081204: |
| 24 |
Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several |

| 28 |
intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ... |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version |
| 31 |
data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means |
| 32 |
testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version |
| 33 |
and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from |
| 34 |
sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
20080905: |
| 37 |
update nve(4) to support new hardware. |
| 38 |

| 47 |
|
| 48 |
The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
20080703: |
| 51 |

| 52 |
or posibly jails. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
20080627: |
| 55 |

ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that |
| 70 |
were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last |
| 71 |
few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration |
| 72 |
option. |

| 76 |
20080514: |
| 77 |
Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected |
| 78 |
to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it |
| 79 |
by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will |
| 80 |
install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with |
| 81 |
GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well. |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries |
| 84 |
on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance. |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
20080430: |
| 87 |
__MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested |
| 88 |
to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor. |

Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current |
| 141 |
thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx. |

ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This |
| 221 |
change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall |
| 222 |
enabled by default. |
| 223 |
|
| 224 |
20070814: |
| 225 |
Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar |

most of their local changes. |
| 246 |
|
| 247 |
20070409: |
| 248 |
RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will |
| 249 |
continue here. |
| 250 |
|
| 251 |
20070406: |
| 252 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
| 253 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
| 254 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
| 255 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
| 256 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
| 257 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
| 258 |
|
| 259 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
| 260 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
| 261 |
|
| 262 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
| 263 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
| 264 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
| 265 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
| 266 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
| 267 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
| 268 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
| 269 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
| 270 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
| 271 |
them. |
| 272 |
|
| 273 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
| 274 |
this from libc. |
| 275 |
|
| 276 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
| 277 |
installed. |
| 278 |
|
| 279 |
20070401: |
| 280 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
| 281 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
| 282 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
| 283 |
follow the these instructions: |
| 284 |
|
| 285 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
| 286 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
| 287 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
| 288 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
| 289 |
buildworld and kernel |
| 290 |
|
| 291 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
| 292 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
| 293 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
| 294 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
| 295 |
fix. |
| 296 |
|

Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
| 322 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
| 323 |
|
| 324 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
| 325 |
will not be effected. |
| 326 |
|
| 327 |
20070119: |
| 328 |

| 337 |
|
| 338 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
| 339 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
| 340 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
| 341 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
| 342 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
| 343 |
|
| 344 |
20061231: |
| 345 |

synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
| 351 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
| 352 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
| 353 |
|
| 354 |

cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output |
| 440 |
on a per line basis. |
| 441 |
|
| 442 |
The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple |
| 443 |
keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also |
| 444 |
improved with this patch. |
| 445 |
|
| 446 |
The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly |
| 447 |
increased on many systems. Additional models are supported. |
| 448 |
|
| 449 |
The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock. |
| 450 |
|
| 451 |
Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition. |

ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had |
| 455 |
the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld. |

| 459 |
To build a kernel |
| 460 |
----------------- |
| 461 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
| 462 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
| 463 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
| 464 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 465 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 466 |
|
| 467 |
To test a kernel once |
| 468 |
--------------------- |
| 469 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
| 470 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
| 471 |
debugging information) run |
| 472 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
| 473 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
| 474 |
|
| 475 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
| 476 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 477 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
| 478 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
| 479 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
| 480 |
|
| 481 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
| 482 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
| 483 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
| 484 |
make depend |
| 485 |
make |
| 486 |
make install |
| 487 |
|
| 488 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
| 489 |
|
| 490 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
| 491 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 492 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
| 493 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
| 494 |
|
| 495 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 496 |
make buildworld |
| 497 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 498 |
[1] |
| 499 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
| 500 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
| 501 |
make installworld |
| 502 |
make delete-old |
| 503 |
mergemaster [4] |
| 504 |
<reboot> |
| 505 |
|
| 506 |
|
| 507 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
| 508 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
| 509 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
| 510 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
| 511 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
| 512 |
# size. |
| 513 |
|
| 514 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 515 |
<boot into -stable> |
| 516 |
make buildworld |
| 517 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 518 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
| 519 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
| 520 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
| 521 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
| 522 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
| 523 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
| 524 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
| 525 |
<reboot into current> |
| 526 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
| 527 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
| 528 |
<reboot> |
| 529 |
|
| 530 |
|
| 531 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
| 532 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 533 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 534 |
make buildworld [9] |
| 535 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
| 536 |
[1] |
| 537 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
| 538 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
| 539 |
make installworld |
| 540 |
make delete-old |
| 541 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
| 542 |
<reboot> |
| 543 |
|
| 544 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
| 545 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
| 546 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
| 547 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
| 548 |
the UPDATING entries. |
| 549 |
|
| 550 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
| 551 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
| 552 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
| 553 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
| 554 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
| 555 |
|
| 556 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
| 557 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
| 558 |
system on reboot. |
| 559 |
|
| 560 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
| 561 |
fsck -p |
| 562 |
mount -u / |
| 563 |
mount -a |
| 564 |
cd src |
| 565 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
| 566 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
| 567 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
| 568 |
|
| 569 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
| 570 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
| 571 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
| 572 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
| 573 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
| 574 |
for potential gotchas. |
| 575 |
|
| 576 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
| 577 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
| 578 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
| 579 |
|
| 580 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
| 581 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
| 582 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
| 583 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
| 584 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
| 585 |
|
| 586 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
| 587 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
| 588 |
|
| 589 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
| 590 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
| 591 |
|
| 592 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
| 593 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
| 594 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
| 595 |
|
| 596 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
| 597 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
| 598 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
