20071123: |
7 |
Update sendmail to 8.14.2 |

10 |
Update system compiler to gcc 3.4.6. |
11 |
|
12 |
20071023: |
13 |
Updated mksh to R31d. |
14 |
|
15 |
20070911: |
16 |
Updated mksh to version R31b. |
17 |
|
18 |
Fixed stderr output in libpthread. Previously it was |
19 |
written to stdout. |
20 |
|
21 |
20070831: |
22 |
Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to |
23 |
mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh. |
24 |
|
25 |
Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default |
26 |
with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall |
27 |
or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable |
28 |
ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This |
29 |
change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall |
30 |
enabled by default. |
31 |
|
32 |
20070814: |
33 |
Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar |
34 |
for awhile. |
35 |
|
36 |
20070806: |
37 |
Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree. |
38 |
|
39 |
20070804: |
40 |
BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities. |
41 |
|
42 |
We switched to BSD cpio (pax). |
43 |
|
44 |
20070719: |
45 |
Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup |
46 |
|
47 |
20070716: |
48 |
Update GNU cpio to 2.8. |
49 |
|
50 |
20070410: |
51 |
cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed. |
52 |
cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with |
53 |
most of their local changes. |
54 |
|
55 |
20070409: |
56 |
RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will |
57 |
continue here. |
58 |
|
59 |
20070406: |
60 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
61 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
62 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
63 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
64 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
65 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
66 |
|
67 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
68 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
69 |
|
70 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
71 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
72 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
73 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
74 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
75 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
76 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
77 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
78 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
79 |
them. |
80 |
|
81 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
82 |
this from libc. |
83 |
|
84 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
85 |
installed. |
86 |
|
87 |
20070401: |
88 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
89 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
90 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
91 |
follow the these instructions: |
92 |
|
93 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
94 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
95 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
96 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
97 |
buildworld and kernel |
98 |
|
99 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
100 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
101 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
102 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
103 |
fix. |
104 |
|
105 |
20070314: |
106 |
Remove send-pr from src. |
107 |
|
108 |
Switch to NetBSD's gzip. |
109 |
|
110 |
Bump MBSD minor revision. |
111 |
|
112 |
20070313: |
113 |
Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1. |
114 |
|
115 |
Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it. |
116 |
|
117 |
Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for |
118 |
the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
119 |
|
120 |
20070312: |
121 |
Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the |
122 |
BSD Daemon files from src/share. |
123 |
|
124 |
20070308: |
125 |
Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including |
126 |
the Dell perc5i. |
127 |
|
128 |
20070206: |
129 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
130 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
131 |
|
132 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
133 |
will not be effected. |
134 |
|
135 |
20070119: |
136 |
Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file |
137 |
before installing world. |
138 |
|
139 |
hostapd was updated to 0.4.8. |
140 |
|
141 |
An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to |
142 |
unbreak world. |
143 |
|
144 |
wpa_supplicant was updated. |
145 |
|
146 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
147 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
148 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
149 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
150 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
151 |
|
152 |
20061231: |
153 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
154 |
|
155 |
Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions. |
156 |
|
157 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
158 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
159 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
160 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
161 |
|
162 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |
163 |
dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american, |
164 |
/usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math |
165 |
|
166 |
Numerous man page and bug fixes. |
167 |
|
168 |
20061226: |
169 |
Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new |
170 |
MidnightBSD CVSup server. |
171 |
|
172 |
Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while |
173 |
erasing CDRW media. |
174 |
|
175 |
Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written |
176 |
in C. |
177 |
|
178 |
Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30. |
179 |
|
180 |
Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in |
181 |
geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6. |
182 |
|
183 |
20061225: |
184 |
Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c |
185 |
that caused long double to long and long long |
186 |
conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1. |
187 |
|
188 |
20061221: |
189 |
Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no |
190 |
batteries are present. |
191 |
|
192 |
Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers. |
193 |
RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors. |
194 |
|
195 |
Corrected a bug with TTY. |
196 |
|
197 |
20061218: |
198 |
Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended |

Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss. |
220 |
|
221 |
20061027: |
222 |
Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt, |
223 |
random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes |
224 |
to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386) |
225 |
commited. |
226 |
|
227 |
lukemftpd updated. |
228 |
|
229 |

OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1. |
242 |
|
243 |
20060909: |
244 |
OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove |
245 |
the old ntpd daemon. |
246 |
|
247 |
cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output |
248 |
on a per line basis. |
249 |
|
250 |
The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple |
251 |
keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also |
252 |
improved with this patch. |
253 |
|
254 |
The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly |
255 |
increased on many systems. Additional models are supported. |
256 |
|
257 |
The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock. |
258 |
|
259 |
Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition. |
260 |
|
261 |
20060817: |
262 |
ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had |
263 |
the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld. |
264 |
|
265 |
|
266 |
|
267 |
To build a kernel |
268 |
----------------- |
269 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
270 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
271 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
272 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
273 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
274 |
|
275 |
To test a kernel once |
276 |
--------------------- |
277 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
278 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
279 |
debugging information) run |
280 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
281 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
282 |
|
283 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
284 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
285 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
286 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
287 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
288 |
|
289 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
290 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
291 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
292 |
make depend |
293 |
make |
294 |
make install |
295 |
|
296 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
297 |
|
298 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
299 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
300 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
301 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
302 |
|
303 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
304 |
make buildworld |
305 |

313 |
|
314 |
|
315 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
316 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
317 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
318 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
319 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
320 |
# size. |
321 |
|
322 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
323 |
<boot into -stable> |
324 |
make buildworld |
325 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
326 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
327 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
328 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
329 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
330 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
331 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
332 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
333 |
<reboot into current> |
334 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
335 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
336 |
<reboot> |
337 |
|
338 |
|
339 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
340 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
341 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
342 |
make buildworld [9] |
343 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
344 |
[1] |
345 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
346 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
347 |
make installworld |
348 |
make delete-old |
349 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
350 |
<reboot> |
351 |
|
352 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
353 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
354 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
355 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
356 |
the UPDATING entries. |
357 |
|
358 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
359 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
360 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
361 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
362 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
363 |
|
364 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
365 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
366 |
system on reboot. |
367 |
|
368 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
369 |
fsck -p |
370 |
mount -u / |
371 |
mount -a |
372 |
cd src |
373 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
374 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
375 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
376 |
|
377 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
378 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
379 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
380 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
381 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
382 |
for potential gotchas. |
383 |
|
384 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
385 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
386 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
387 |
|
388 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
389 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
390 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
391 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
392 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
393 |
|
394 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
395 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
396 |
|
397 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
398 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
399 |
|
400 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
401 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
402 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
403 |
|
404 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
405 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
406 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
