Update less to v458 |
10 |
|
11 |
20131130: |
12 |
Remove named from base. We still include the client utilities for |
13 |
now until replacements can be found. |
14 |

16 |
rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD) |
17 |
|
18 |
20130917: |
19 |
Support for 65,536 routing tables was added. A new fib specific |
20 |
field has been added to mbuf. This is an increase from 16. |
21 |
|

20130910: |
23 |
Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001) |
24 |
|
25 |
nullfs(5) |
26 |
|
27 |
The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not |
28 |
check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same |
29 |
nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a |
30 |
location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the |
31 |
underlying (source) filesystem is the same. |
32 |
|
33 |
ifioctl |
34 |
|
35 |
As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request |
36 |
handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is |
37 |
passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or |
38 |
return an error code. |
39 |
|
40 |
Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR, |
41 |
SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been |
42 |
handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input |
43 |
validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer |
44 |
actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up" |
45 |
and resetting the underlying hardware. |
46 |
|
47 |
20130824: |
48 |
Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it |
49 |
handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers. |
50 |
FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix |
51 |
will be included in the next release. |
52 |
|
53 |
Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static |
54 |
binary. It has limited functionality, but can be used to |
55 |
checkout/commit code. It is named svnlite. |
56 |
|
57 |
20130822: |
58 |
Fix two security vulnerabilities. |
59 |
|
60 |
Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST). |
61 |
This could be exploited to read memory by a user process. |
62 |
|
63 |
When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks, |
64 |
a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized. |

BIND security update related to CVE-2012-1667. |
123 |
|
124 |
Zero length resource records can cause BIND to crash resulting |
125 |
in a DOS attack or information disclosure. |
126 |

20111227: |
142 |
import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8) |
143 |
|
144 |
This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel |
145 |
memory. |
146 |
|
147 |
20111223: |
148 |
telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked |
149 |
|
150 |
pam: don't allow escape from policy path. Exploitable in KDE, etc. |
151 |
|
152 |
Fix pam_ssh module: |
153 |
|
154 |
If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access |
155 |
to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys. |
156 |
|
157 |
This has to due with the way that openssl works. It ignores unencrpted data. |
158 |
|
159 |
Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd. |
160 |
|
161 |
nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some |
162 |
operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security |
163 |
hole in things like ftpd. |
164 |
|
165 |
20111217: |
166 |
libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not |
167 |
backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog |
168 |
|
169 |
20111212: |
170 |
mksh r40d imported |
171 |

|
175 |
GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable. |
176 |
|
177 |
MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and |
178 |
setup in boot loader and GEOM. |
179 |
|
180 |
amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support |
181 |
8xx series chipset. |

|
183 |
20111207: |
184 |
import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD. |
185 |

awk 20110810 imported |
213 |
|
214 |
et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but |
215 |
not included in GENERIC kernel. The kernel module needs |
216 |
testing before we can include it in GENERIC. |
217 |
|
218 |
intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one |
219 |
specific CPU core. |
220 |
|
221 |
20111017: |
222 |
Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011) |
223 |
|
224 |
Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data. |
225 |
|
226 |
20111015: |
227 |
Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used |
228 |
to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given |
229 |
process. Several new system calls were added to support this |
230 |
functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary |
231 |
compatibility on amd64. |
232 |
|
233 |
The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and |
234 |
amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE) |
235 |
for this feature. |
236 |
|
237 |
This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches. |
238 |
|
239 |
20111004: |
240 |
Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent |
241 |
patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network |
242 |
apps to work under the linuxolator again. |
243 |
|
244 |
20111001: |
245 |
Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is |
246 |
now default and an environment variable must be set to use |
247 |
active. |
248 |
|
249 |
20110930: |
250 |
Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including |
251 |
USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices. |
252 |
|
253 |
Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4). |
254 |
Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed |
255 |
when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum |
256 |
offloading. |
257 |
|
258 |
Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when |
259 |
working with large raid3 sets. |
260 |
|
261 |
Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller. |
262 |
|
263 |
20110929: |
264 |
Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3. |
265 |
|
266 |
The following modules are no longer available, and should be |
267 |
removed from loader.conf: |
268 |
ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample |
269 |
|
270 |
alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often |
271 |
required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that |
272 |
a connection could be established. Disable hibernation. |
273 |
|
274 |
20110928: |
275 |
Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z |
276 |
files that are corrupted. |
277 |
|
278 |
Fix path validation with unix domain sockets. |
279 |
|
280 |
20110917: |
281 |
Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as |
282 |
it's in the base system. |
283 |
|
284 |
20110914: |
285 |
Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3 |
286 |
|
287 |
20110813: |
288 |
synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64. |
289 |
|
290 |
20110806: |
291 |
sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported |
292 |
|
293 |
msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides |
294 |
a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used |
295 |
to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable |
296 |
index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the |
297 |
/usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable |
298 |
space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently. |
299 |
|
300 |
Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package |
301 |
versions. This will be obsolete with mport though. |
302 |
|
303 |
20110710: |
304 |
kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to |
305 |
know why it's in use and thus script can be run. |
306 |
|
307 |
Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed |
308 |
|
309 |
20110709: |
310 |
cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change |
311 |
with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4). |
312 |
|
313 |
20110612: |
314 |
Update mksh to R40 |
315 |
|
316 |
Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when |
317 |
updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old) |
318 |
|
319 |
20110528: |
320 |
Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers. |
321 |
|
322 |
20110526: |
323 |
newfs: |
324 |
Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from |
325 |
16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K. |
326 |
|
327 |
This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format" |
328 |
hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type |
329 |
have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course |
330 |
the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk. |
331 |
|
332 |
20110521: |
333 |
mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove |
334 |
all packages from a system. |
335 |
|
336 |
A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed. |

Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between |
375 |
igb(4) and em(4). Newer devices use igb(4). The code has moved |
376 |
to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has |
377 |
been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64. |
378 |
|
379 |
Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL. |
380 |
|
381 |
20110215: |

A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when |
421 |
processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime |
422 |
numbers. [CVE-2010-2939] |
423 |
|
424 |
20101120: |
425 |
Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file |
426 |
systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due |
427 |
to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified |
428 |
our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts |
429 |
which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB. |
430 |
|
431 |
newfs and growfs was also modified. |
432 |
|
433 |
20101110: |
434 |
Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel |
435 |
context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file |
436 |
systems such as procfs for instance. |
437 |

449 |
|
450 |
20100902: |
451 |
Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in |
452 |
login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow |
453 |
the user to get more resources than they're allowed. |

libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in |
460 |
Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is |
461 |

Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work |
588 |
as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment |
589 |
in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck |
590 |
with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum. |
591 |
|
592 |
I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is |
593 |
fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base |
594 |
system which makes no sense. |
595 |
|
596 |
A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to |
597 |
the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support |
598 |
but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on |
599 |
an external device. |

The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve |
603 |
compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new |
604 |
installer option in the startup section to enable it. This |
605 |
makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks |
606 |
out my new Phenom too. |

yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then |
633 |
add |

mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with |
640 |
buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back |
641 |
for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called |
642 |
MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh |
643 |
but we may change this later. This will allow further |
644 |
testing by users and developers of mksh without |
645 |
causing an unpleasant default experience. In the |
646 |
long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility. |
647 |
|
648 |
20090328: |
649 |
Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root |
650 |
and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1) |
651 |
as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with |
652 |
ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile |
653 |
as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as |
654 |
an optional build parameter. |
655 |
|
656 |
ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until |
657 |

For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL |
683 |
certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be |
684 |
used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. |
685 |

Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be |
687 |
affected. |

Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way, |
705 |
we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was |
706 |
changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected |
707 |
using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code. |
708 |
|
709 |
The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider |
710 |
i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again. |
711 |

batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and |
715 |
runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output |
716 |
shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the |
717 |
percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or |
718 |
-c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more. |

726 |
|
727 |
Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version |
728 |
data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means |
729 |
testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version |
730 |
and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from |
731 |
sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed. |
732 |
|
733 |
20080905: |

773 |
20080514: |
774 |
Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected |
775 |
to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it |
776 |
by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will |
777 |
install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with |
778 |
GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well. |
779 |
|
780 |
System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries |
781 |
on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance. |
782 |
|
783 |
20080430: |
784 |
__MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested |

918 |
change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall |
919 |
enabled by default. |
920 |
|
921 |
20070814: |
922 |
Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar |
923 |
for awhile. |
924 |
|
925 |
20070806: |
926 |
Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree. |
927 |
|
928 |
20070804: |
929 |
BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities. |
930 |
|
931 |
We switched to BSD cpio (pax). |
932 |
|
933 |
20070719: |
934 |
Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup |
935 |
|
936 |
20070716: |
937 |
Update GNU cpio to 2.8. |
938 |
|
939 |
20070410: |
940 |
cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed. |
941 |
cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with |
942 |
most of their local changes. |
943 |
|
944 |
20070409: |
945 |
RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will |
946 |
continue here. |
947 |
|
948 |
20070406: |
949 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
950 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
951 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
952 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
953 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
954 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
955 |
|
956 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
957 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
958 |
|
959 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
960 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
961 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
962 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
963 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
964 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
965 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
966 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
967 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
968 |
them. |
969 |
|
970 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
971 |
this from libc. |
972 |
|
973 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
974 |
installed. |
975 |
|
976 |
20070401: |
977 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
978 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
979 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
980 |
follow the these instructions: |
981 |
|
982 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
983 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
984 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
985 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
986 |
buildworld and kernel |
987 |
|
988 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
989 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
990 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
991 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
992 |
fix. |
993 |
|
994 |
20070314: |
995 |
Remove send-pr from src. |
996 |
|
997 |
Switch to NetBSD's gzip. |
998 |
|
999 |
Bump MBSD minor revision. |
1000 |
|
1001 |
20070313: |
1002 |
Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1. |
1003 |
|
1004 |
Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it. |
1005 |
|
1006 |
Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for |
1007 |
the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
1008 |
|
1009 |
20070312: |
1010 |
Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the |
1011 |
BSD Daemon files from src/share. |
1012 |
|
1013 |
20070308: |
1014 |
Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including |
1015 |
the Dell perc5i. |
1016 |
|
1017 |
20070206: |
1018 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
1019 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
1020 |
|
1021 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
1022 |
will not be effected. |
1023 |
|
1024 |
20070119: |
1025 |
Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file |
1026 |
before installing world. |
1027 |
|
1028 |
hostapd was updated to 0.4.8. |
1029 |
|
1030 |
An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to |
1031 |
unbreak world. |
1032 |
|
1033 |
wpa_supplicant was updated. |
1034 |
|
1035 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
1036 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
1037 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
1038 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
1039 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
1040 |
|
1041 |
20061231: |
1042 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
1043 |
|
1044 |
Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions. |
1045 |
|
1046 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
1047 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
1048 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
1049 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
1050 |
|
1051 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |
1052 |
dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american, |
1053 |
/usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math |
1054 |
|
1055 |
Numerous man page and bug fixes. |
1056 |
|

Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30. |
1068 |
|
1069 |

1070 |
geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6. |
1071 |
|
1072 |
20061225: |
1073 |
Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c |
1074 |
that caused long double to long and long long |
1075 |
conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1. |
1076 |
|
1077 |
20061221: |
1078 |
Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no |
1079 |
batteries are present. |
1080 |
|
1081 |
Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers. |
1082 |
RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors. |
1083 |
|
1084 |
Corrected a bug with TTY. |
1085 |
|
1086 |
20061218: |

1112 |
random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes |
1113 |
to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386) |
1114 |
commited. |
1115 |
|
1116 |
lukemftpd updated. |
1117 |
|
1118 |
openssh rc script was altered which effects initial |
1119 |
seeding. |

1131 |
|
1132 |
20060909: |
1133 |
OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove |
1134 |
the old ntpd daemon. |
1135 |
|
1136 |
cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output |
1137 |
on a per line basis. |
1138 |
|
1139 |
The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple |
1140 |
keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also |
1141 |
improved with this patch. |
1142 |
|
1143 |
The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly |
1144 |
increased on many systems. Additional models are supported. |
1145 |
|
1146 |
The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock. |
1147 |
|
1148 |
Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition. |
1149 |
|
1150 |
20060817: |
1151 |
ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had |
1152 |
the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld. |
1153 |
|
1154 |
|
1155 |
|
1156 |
To build a kernel |
1157 |
----------------- |
1158 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
1159 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
1160 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
1161 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
1162 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
1163 |
|
1164 |
To test a kernel once |
1165 |
--------------------- |
1166 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
1167 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
1168 |
debugging information) run |
1169 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
1170 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
1171 |
|
1172 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
1173 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
1174 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
1175 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
1176 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
1177 |
|
1178 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
1179 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
1180 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
1181 |
make depend |
1182 |
make |
1183 |
make install |
1184 |
|
1185 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
1186 |
|
1187 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
1188 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
1189 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
1190 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
1191 |
|
1192 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
1193 |
make buildworld |
1194 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
1195 |
[1] |
1196 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
1197 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
1198 |
make installworld |
1199 |
make delete-old |
1200 |
mergemaster [4] |
1201 |
<reboot> |
1202 |
|
1203 |
|
1204 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
1205 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
1206 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
1207 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
1208 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
1209 |
# size. |
1210 |
|
1211 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
1212 |
<boot into -stable> |
1213 |
make buildworld |
1214 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
1215 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
1216 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
1217 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
1218 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
1219 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
1220 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
1221 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
1222 |
<reboot into current> |
1223 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
1224 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
1225 |
<reboot> |
1226 |
|
1227 |
|
1228 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
1229 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
1230 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
1231 |
make buildworld [9] |
1232 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
1233 |
[1] |
1234 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
1235 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
1236 |
make installworld |
1237 |
make delete-old |
1238 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
1239 |
<reboot> |
1240 |
|
1241 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
1242 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
1243 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
1244 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
1245 |
the UPDATING entries. |
1246 |
|
1247 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
1248 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
1249 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
1250 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
1251 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
1252 |
|
1253 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
1254 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
1255 |
system on reboot. |
1256 |
|
1257 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
1258 |
fsck -p |
1259 |
mount -u / |
1260 |
mount -a |
1261 |
cd src |
1262 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
1263 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
1264 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
1265 |
|
1266 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
1267 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
1268 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
1269 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
1270 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
1271 |
for potential gotchas. |
1272 |
|
1273 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
1274 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
1275 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
1276 |
|
1277 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
1278 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
1279 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
1280 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
1281 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
1282 |
|
1283 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
1284 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
1285 |
|
1286 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
1287 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
1288 |
|
1289 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
1290 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
1291 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
1292 |
|
1293 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
1294 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
1295 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
