Updating Information for MidnightBSD users |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Items affecting the mports and packages system can be found in |
| 4 |
/usr/mports/UPDATING. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
20071120: |
| 7 |
Update system compiler to gcc 3.4.6. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
20070911: |
| 10 |
Updated mksh to version R31b. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Fixed stderr output in libpthread. Previously it was |
| 13 |
written to stdout. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
20070831: |
| 16 |
Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to |
| 17 |
mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default |
| 20 |
with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall |
| 21 |
or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable |
| 22 |
ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This |
| 23 |
change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall |
| 24 |
enabled by default. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
20070814: |
| 27 |
Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar |
| 28 |
for awhile. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
20070806: |
| 31 |
Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
20070804: |
| 34 |
BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
We switched to BSD cpio (pax). |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
20070719: |
| 39 |
Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
20070716: |
| 42 |
Update GNU cpio to 2.8. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
20070410: |
| 45 |
cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed. |
| 46 |
cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with |
| 47 |
most of their local changes. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
20070409: |
| 50 |
RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will |
| 51 |
continue here. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
20070406: |
| 54 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
| 55 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
| 56 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
| 57 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
| 58 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
| 59 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
| 62 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
| 65 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
| 66 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
| 67 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
| 68 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
| 69 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
| 70 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
| 71 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
| 72 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
| 73 |
them. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
| 76 |
this from libc. |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
| 79 |
installed. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
20070401: |
| 82 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
| 83 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
| 84 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
| 85 |
follow the these instructions: |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
| 88 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
| 89 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
| 90 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
| 91 |
buildworld and kernel |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
| 94 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
| 95 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
| 96 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
| 97 |
fix. |
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
20070314: |
| 100 |
Remove send-pr from src. |
| 101 |
|
| 102 |
Switch to NetBSD's gzip. |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
Bump MBSD minor revision. |
| 105 |
|
| 106 |
20070313: |
| 107 |
Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1. |
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it. |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for |
| 112 |
the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
| 113 |
|
| 114 |
20070312: |
| 115 |
Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the |
| 116 |
BSD Daemon files from src/share. |
| 117 |
|
| 118 |
20070308: |
| 119 |
Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including |
| 120 |
the Dell perc5i. |
| 121 |
|
| 122 |
20070206: |
| 123 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
| 124 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
| 125 |
|
| 126 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
| 127 |
will not be effected. |
| 128 |
|
| 129 |
20070119: |
| 130 |
Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file |
| 131 |
before installing world. |
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
hostapd was updated to 0.4.8. |
| 134 |
|
| 135 |
An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to |
| 136 |
unbreak world. |
| 137 |
|
| 138 |
wpa_supplicant was updated. |
| 139 |
|
| 140 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
| 141 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
| 142 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
| 143 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
| 144 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
| 145 |
|
| 146 |
20061231: |
| 147 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
| 148 |
|
| 149 |
Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions. |
| 150 |
|
| 151 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
| 152 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
| 153 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
| 154 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
| 155 |
|
| 156 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |
| 157 |
dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american, |
| 158 |
/usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math |
| 159 |
|
| 160 |
Numerous man page and bug fixes. |
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
20061226: |
| 163 |
Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new |
| 164 |
MidnightBSD CVSup server. |
| 165 |
|

Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while |
| 167 |
erasing CDRW media. |
| 168 |

Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written |
| 170 |
in C. |
| 171 |
|
| 172 |
Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30. |
| 173 |
|
| 174 |
Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in |
| 175 |
geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6. |
| 176 |
|
| 177 |
20061225: |
| 178 |
Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c |
| 179 |
that caused long double to long and long long |
| 180 |
conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1. |
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
20061221: |
| 183 |
Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no |
| 184 |
batteries are present. |
| 185 |
|
| 186 |
Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers. |
| 187 |
RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors. |
| 188 |
|
| 189 |
Corrected a bug with TTY. |
| 190 |
|
| 191 |
20061218: |

20061027: |
| 216 |
Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt, |
| 217 |
random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes |
| 218 |
to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386) |
| 219 |
commited. |
| 220 |
|
| 221 |
lukemftpd updated. |
| 222 |
|
| 223 |
openssh rc script was altered which effects initial |
| 224 |
seeding. |
| 225 |
|
| 226 |
20061014: |
| 227 |
Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ. |
| 228 |

OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1. |
| 236 |
|
| 237 |
20060909: |
| 238 |
OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove |
| 239 |
the old ntpd daemon. |
| 240 |
|
| 241 |
cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output |
| 242 |
on a per line basis. |
| 243 |
|
| 244 |
The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple |
| 245 |
keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also |
| 246 |
improved with this patch. |
| 247 |
|
| 248 |
The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly |
| 249 |
increased on many systems. Additional models are supported. |
| 250 |
|
| 251 |
The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock. |
| 252 |
|
| 253 |
Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition. |
| 254 |
|
| 255 |
20060817: |
| 256 |
ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had |
| 257 |
the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld. |
| 258 |
|
| 259 |
|
| 260 |
|
| 261 |
To build a kernel |
| 262 |
----------------- |
| 263 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
| 264 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
| 265 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
| 266 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 267 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 268 |
|
| 269 |
To test a kernel once |
| 270 |
--------------------- |
| 271 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
| 272 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
| 273 |
debugging information) run |
| 274 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
| 275 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
| 276 |
|
| 277 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
| 278 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 279 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
| 280 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
| 281 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
| 282 |
|
| 283 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
| 284 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
| 285 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
| 286 |
make depend |
| 287 |
make |
| 288 |
make install |
| 289 |
|
| 290 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
| 291 |
|
| 292 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
| 293 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 294 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
| 295 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
| 296 |
|
| 297 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 298 |
make buildworld |
| 299 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 300 |
[1] |
| 301 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
| 302 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
| 303 |
make installworld |
| 304 |
make delete-old |
| 305 |
mergemaster [4] |
| 306 |
<reboot> |
| 307 |
|
| 308 |
|
| 309 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
| 310 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
| 311 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
| 312 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
| 313 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
| 314 |
# size. |
| 315 |
|
| 316 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 317 |
<boot into -stable> |
| 318 |
make buildworld |
| 319 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 320 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
| 321 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
| 322 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
| 323 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
| 324 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
| 325 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
| 326 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
| 327 |
<reboot into current> |
| 328 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
| 329 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
| 330 |
<reboot> |
| 331 |
|
| 332 |
|
| 333 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
| 334 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 335 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
| 336 |
make buildworld [9] |
| 337 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
| 338 |
[1] |
| 339 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
| 340 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
| 341 |
make installworld |
| 342 |
make delete-old |
| 343 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
| 344 |
<reboot> |
| 345 |
|
| 346 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
| 347 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
| 348 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
| 349 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
| 350 |
the UPDATING entries. |
| 351 |
|
| 352 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
| 353 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
| 354 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
| 355 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
| 356 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
| 357 |
|
| 358 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
| 359 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
| 360 |
system on reboot. |
| 361 |
|
| 362 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
| 363 |
fsck -p |
| 364 |
mount -u / |
| 365 |
mount -a |
| 366 |
cd src |
| 367 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
| 368 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
| 369 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
| 370 |
|
| 371 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
| 372 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
| 373 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
| 374 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
| 375 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
| 376 |
for potential gotchas. |
| 377 |
|
| 378 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
| 379 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
| 380 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
| 381 |
|
| 382 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
| 383 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
| 384 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
| 385 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
| 386 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
| 387 |
|
| 388 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
| 389 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
| 390 |
|
| 391 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
| 392 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
| 393 |
|
| 394 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
| 395 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
| 396 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
| 397 |
|
| 398 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
| 399 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
| 400 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
