1 Updating Information for MidnightBSD users.
2
3 20131205:
4 OpenSSH 6.4p1
5
6 20131203:
7 Perl 5.18.1 imported.
8
9 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
15 20131004:
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
22 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.
65

101 20130122:
102 OpenSSH 5.8p2 imported
103
104 SQLite 3.7.15.2 imported
105
106 Fixed a longstanding bug in libmport extrating new index files.
107
108 20120710:
109 BSD licensed sort imported from FreeBSD-CURRENT
110
111 For now, GNU sort is installed as gnusort, but it will
112 go away in time.
113
114 20120708:
115 tcsh 6.18.01 imported.
116
117 NetBSD's iconv imported.
118
119 libc gains strnlen(3), memrchr(3), stpncpy(3).
120
121 20120612:
122 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
127 20120407:
128 mksh R40f (fixes regression)
129
130 20120328:
131 mksh R40e
132
133 Perl 5.14.2
134
135 20120229:
136 cpucontrol(8) and cpuctl(4) added from FreeBSD 7-stable.
137
138 20120209:
139 mDNSResponder 333.10 imported
140
141 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
172 20111210:
173 re(4) and rl(4) updated to support new chips.
174
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.
182
183 20111207:
184 import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD.
185
186 MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed
187 as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep.
188
189 20111122:
190 mksh vR40c imported.
191
192 20111117:
193 BIND 9.6 ESV R5 P1
194
195 20111107:
196 tzdata 2011n
197
198 20111026:
199 mDNSResponder v320
200
201 BIND 9.6 ESV R5
202
203 20111022:
204 cflow 0.0.6 imported
205
206 20111020:
207 less v436 imported
208
209 amdsbwd(4) AMD southbridge watchdog
210
211 20111019:
212 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.
337
338 20110518:
339 Perl 5.14.0
340
341 20110517:
342 Sendmail 8.14.5
343
344 20110314:

346
347 cdevpriv wrappers added
348
349 nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
350
351 dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
352
353 20110308:
354 Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
355
356 Patch for OpenSSL security issue CVE-2011-0014.
357
358 "OSREVISION 4004"
359
360 nsswitch module for multicast dns (nss_mdns) added.
361
362 tzdata2011c
363
364 20110220:
365 cam(4) syncronized with FreeBSD 7.3.
366
367 20110219:
368 amdtemp(4) updated to support sensors framework.
369
370 20110217:
371 Perl 5.10.1 imported
372
373 20110216:
374 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:
382 age(4) added.
383
384 20110208:
385 BIND 9.6.3 which fixes a bug with DNSSEC records getting added.
386
387 20110206:
388 eeemon(4) added to monitor Asus Eee PC.
389
390 20110205:
391 OpenSSH 5.7p1
392
393 GNU sort 6.9 (coreutils)
394
395 20110203:
396 one true awk 20100523 imported
397
398 sqlite 3.7.5
399
400 OpenSSL 0.9.8q
401
402 20110202:
403 tcsh 6.17.00
404
405 file 5.05
406
407 20110122:
408 Import it(4) and lm(4), with support for Super I/O hardware monitors. This
409 uses the sensors framework ported by Constantine A. Murenin (GSOC2007)
410
411 20110120:
412 BIND 9.6.2-P3
413
414 sudo 1.7.4-p6
415
416 20110115:
417 Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices.
418
419 20101130:
420 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
438 20101021:
439 sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
440 This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
441 written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
442
443 20100920:
444 bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
445
446 20100905:
447 MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created. Aggressive development continues here
448 for 0.4.
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.
454
455 20100822:
456 Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
457
458 20100814:
459 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 licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
462 it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
463 may not like.
464
465 20100713:
466 mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.
467
468 20100704:
469 brainfuck(1) imported from MirBSD.
470
471 20100505:
472 zlib 1.2.5

506
507 libffi (ffi) 3.0.9
508
509 20100206:
510 WITHOUT_LIB32 is no longer needed on AMD64. GCC was fixed to
511 properly pass arguments to ld.
512
513 re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
514 realtek chipsets. Performance has been improved on re(4).
515
516 20100204:
517 Fix a bug cropping up on AMD64 MidnightBSD with sftp
518 segfaulting.
519

524
525 20100110:
526 Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
527
528 posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and
529 install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
530 older current systems.
531
532 kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
533
534 20100106:
535 Bind security update. Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
536 cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
537
538 Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
539
540 20091228:
541 amdtemp(4) was added. It allows one to monitor to the temperature
542 of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
543
544 20091205:
545 OpenSSL security fix
546
547 The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without

584 can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
585
586 20090606:
587 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.
600
601 20090520:
602 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.
607
608 20090502:
609 OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
610
611 ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
612
613 20090501:
614 Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
615
616 20090422:
617 OpenSSL security update
618
619 The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
620 of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
621
622 20090415:
623 Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
624
625 Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
626
627 Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
628 tools to fail.
629
630 20090405:
631 xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
632 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
633 add
634 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
635 to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
636 kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
637
638 20090403:
639 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 the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
658
659 Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
660 default for login and profile.
661
662 20090327:
663 Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
664
665 Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
666 to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
667 on mports.
668
669 20090325:
670 Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
671
672 Update mksh to R36b
673
674 Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
675
676 Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
677
678 20090115:
679 Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
680
681 20090110:
682 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
686 Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
687 affected.
688
689 Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
690
691 20090104:
692 Import GNU libreadline 5.2
693

696
697 20081231:
698 Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
699 properly initialized.
700
701 Happy 2009.
702
703 20081206:
704 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
712 mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
713
714 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.
719
720 20081204:
721 Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
722 new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
723 support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
724 openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
725 intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
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:
734 update nve(4) to support new hardware.
735
736 20080801:
737 Import OpenBSM 1.0
738
739 Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
740
741 etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
742
743 Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
744
745 The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
746
747 20080703:
748 pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
749 or posibly jails.
750
751 20080627:
752 Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.

759
760 ath added to GENERIC. (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
761
762 20080528:
763 Sendmail 8.14.3
764
765 20080516:
766 ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
767 were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
768 few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
769 option.
770
771 The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
772
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
785 to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
786
787 20080429:
788 Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
789
790 libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier

798 syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
799 improved. See the man pages for info.
800
801 periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
802 See mailwrapper fix.
803
804 20080410:
805 Sync cpdup with DragonFly. Add parallel transaction support and
806 -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
807
808 20080406:
809 Import bzip2 1.05
810 Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
811

813 The default umask was changed to 022.
814
815 /usr/X11R6 paths were removed from several config files.
816
817 .mkshrc files are now installed for root.
818
819 20080316:
820 FIx a problem with gif0 tunnels and neighbors with IPV6.
821
822 20080312:
823 Add lndir from X.org. This aides in the porting of MirPorts.
824
825 New OS versions were added to the mapage code (groff)
826
827 20080310:
828 Correct a buffer overflow in ppp.
829
830 20080308:
831 Remove /usr/X11R6 from manpath config.
832
833 20080307:
834 Atheros driver no longer has several options set
835 which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
836
837 Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
838 thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
839
840 Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
841 I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
842 My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
843
844 20080306:
845 Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
846 Developers can now use it to check src builds.
847
848 20080303:
849 Add mksh to /etc/shells, made some adjustments to options
850 for mksh builds per suggestion upstream.

875
876 Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.
877
878 20080121:
879 Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
880 according to a VM present. VMWare and Parallels
881 should work better like this.
882
883 Change to full x11 install in sysinstall. Add
884 xorg 7 support.
885
886 20080115:
887 Fix the handling of PTY's. CVE-2008-0216
888
889 20080105:
890 mport delete code added, USE_MPORT_TOOLS knob aded.
891
892 20080101:
893 Happy New Year

903
904 20070911:
905 Updated mksh to version R31b.
906
907 Fixed stderr output in libpthread. Previously it was
908 written to stdout.
909
910 20070831:
911 Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
912 mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
913
914 Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
915 with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
916 or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
917 ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
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

1065 in C.
1066
1067 Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
1068
1069 Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
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:
1087 Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended

1089
1090 20061206:
1091 Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
1092
1093 20061129:
1094 Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
1095
1096 Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
1097 FreeBSD.
1098
1099 20061031:
1100 Updated man pages in section 7.
1101

1104 r300 cards properly.
1105
1106 Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
1107
1108 Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
1109
1110 20061027:
1111 Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
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.

1130 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
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.
