20070401: |
7 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
8 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
9 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
10 |
follow the these instructions: |
11 |
|
12 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
13 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
14 |
cd /usr/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
15 |
cd /usr/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
16 |
buildworld and kernel |
17 |
|
18 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
19 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
20 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
21 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
22 |
fix. |
23 |
|
24 |
20070314: |
25 |
Remove send-pr from src. |
26 |
|
27 |
Switch to NetBSD's gzip. |
28 |
|
29 |
Bump MBSD minor revision. |
30 |
|
31 |
20070313: |
32 |
Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1. |
33 |
|
34 |
Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it. |
35 |
|
36 |
Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for |
37 |
the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
38 |
|
39 |
20070312: |
40 |
Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the |
41 |
BSD Daemon files from src/share. |
42 |
|
43 |
20070308: |
44 |
Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including |
45 |
the Dell perc5i. |
46 |
|
47 |
20070206: |
48 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
49 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
50 |
|
51 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
52 |
will not be effected. |
53 |
|
54 |
20070119: |
55 |
Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file |
56 |
before installing world. |
57 |
|
58 |
hostapd was updated to 0.4.8. |
59 |
|
60 |
An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to |
61 |
unbreak world. |
62 |
|
63 |
wpa_supplicant was updated. |
64 |
|
65 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
66 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
67 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
68 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
69 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
70 |
|
71 |
20061231: |
72 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
73 |
|
74 |
Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions. |
75 |
|
76 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
77 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
78 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
79 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
80 |
|
81 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |
82 |

83 |
/usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math |
84 |
|
85 |
Numerous man page and bug fixes. |
86 |
|

102 |
20061225: |
103 |
Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c |
104 |
that caused long double to long and long long |
105 |
conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1. |
106 |
|
107 |
20061221: |
108 |
Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no |
109 |
batteries are present. |

167 |
on a per line basis. |
168 |
|
169 |
The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple |
170 |
keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also |
171 |
improved with this patch. |
172 |
|
173 |
The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly |
174 |

180 |
20060817: |
181 |
ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had |
182 |
the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld. |
183 |
|
184 |
|
185 |
|
186 |
To build a kernel |
187 |
----------------- |
188 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
189 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
190 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
191 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
192 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
193 |
|
194 |
To test a kernel once |
195 |
--------------------- |
196 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
197 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
198 |
debugging information) run |
199 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
200 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
201 |
|
202 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
203 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
204 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
205 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
206 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
207 |
|
208 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
209 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
210 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
211 |
make depend |
212 |
make |
213 |
make install |
214 |
|
215 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
216 |
|
217 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
218 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
219 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
220 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
221 |
|
222 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
223 |
make buildworld |
224 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
225 |
[1] |
226 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
227 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
228 |
make installworld |
229 |
make delete-old |
230 |
mergemaster [4] |
231 |
<reboot> |
232 |
|
233 |
|
234 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
235 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
236 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
237 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
238 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
239 |
# size. |
240 |
|
241 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
242 |
<boot into -stable> |
243 |
make buildworld |
244 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
245 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
246 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
247 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
248 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
249 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
250 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
251 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
252 |
<reboot into current> |
253 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
254 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
255 |
<reboot> |
256 |
|
257 |
|
258 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
259 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
260 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
261 |
make buildworld [9] |
262 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
263 |
[1] |
264 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
265 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
266 |
make installworld |
267 |
make delete-old |
268 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
269 |
<reboot> |
270 |
|
271 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
272 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
273 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
274 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
275 |
the UPDATING entries. |
276 |
|
277 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
278 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
279 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
280 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
281 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
282 |
|
283 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
284 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
285 |
system on reboot. |
286 |
|
287 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
288 |
fsck -p |
289 |
mount -u / |
290 |
mount -a |
291 |
cd src |
292 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
293 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
294 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
295 |
|
296 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
297 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
298 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
299 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
300 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
301 |
for potential gotchas. |
302 |
|
303 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
304 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
305 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
306 |
|
307 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
308 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
309 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
310 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
311 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
312 |
|
313 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
314 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
315 |
|
316 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
317 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
318 |
|
319 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
320 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
321 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
322 |
|
323 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
324 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
325 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
