20090328: |
7 |
Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root |
8 |
and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1) |
9 |
as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with |
10 |
ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile |
11 |
as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as |
12 |
an optional build parameter. |
13 |
|
14 |
ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until |
15 |
the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?) |
16 |
|
17 |
Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the |
18 |
default for login and profile. |
19 |
|
20 |
20090327: |
21 |
Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio. |
22 |
|
23 |
Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10 |
24 |
to the build (part of os). This will have an impact |
25 |
on mports. |
26 |
|
27 |
20090325: |
28 |
Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1 |
29 |
|
30 |
Update mksh to R36b |
31 |
|
32 |
Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current. |
33 |
|
34 |
Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD. |
35 |
|
36 |
20090115: |
37 |
Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND. |
38 |
|
39 |
20090110: |
40 |
For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL |
41 |
certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be |
42 |
used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. |
43 |
|
44 |
Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be |
45 |
affected. |
46 |
|
47 |
Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd |
48 |
|
49 |

Import GNU libreadline 5.2 |
51 |
|
52 |
20090101: |
53 |

54 |
|
55 |
20081231: |
56 |
Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not |
57 |
properly initialized. |
58 |
|
59 |
Happy 2009. |
60 |
|
61 |
20081206: |
62 |
Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way, |
63 |
we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was |
64 |
changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected |
65 |
using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code. |
66 |
|
67 |
The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider |
68 |
i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again. |
69 |
|
70 |
mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info. |
71 |
|
72 |
batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and |
73 |
runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output |
74 |
shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the |
75 |
percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or |
76 |
-c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more. |
77 |
|
78 |
20081204: |
79 |
Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several |
80 |
new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel |
81 |
support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm), |
82 |
openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated |
83 |
intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ... |
84 |
|
85 |
Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version |
86 |
data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means |
87 |
testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version |
88 |
and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from |
89 |
sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed. |
90 |
|
91 |
20080905: |
92 |
update nve(4) to support new hardware. |
93 |
|
94 |
20080801: |
95 |
Import OpenBSM 1.0 |
96 |
|
97 |
Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages. |
98 |
|
99 |
etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats. |
100 |
|
101 |
Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed. |
102 |
|
103 |
The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed. |
104 |
|
105 |
20080703: |
106 |
pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds, |
107 |
or posibly jails. |
108 |
|
109 |
20080627: |
110 |
Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC. |
111 |
|
112 |
Add glabel to GENERIC. |
113 |
|
114 |

117 |
|
118 |
ath added to GENERIC. (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386 |
119 |
|
120 |
20080528: |
121 |
Sendmail 8.14.3 |
122 |
|
123 |
20080516: |
124 |
ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that |
125 |
were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last |
126 |
few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration |
127 |
option. |
128 |
|
129 |
The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD. |
130 |
|
131 |
20080514: |
132 |
Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected |
133 |
to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it |
134 |
by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will |
135 |
install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with |
136 |
GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well. |
137 |
|
138 |
System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries |
139 |
on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance. |
140 |
|
141 |
20080430: |
142 |
__MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested |
143 |
to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor. |
144 |
|
145 |
20080429: |
146 |

191 |
20080307: |
192 |
Atheros driver no longer has several options set |
193 |
which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms. |
194 |
|
195 |
Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current |
196 |
thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx. |
197 |
|
198 |
Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and |
199 |
I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days. |
200 |
My copy is in the closet collecting dust. |
201 |
|

Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default |
273 |
with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall |
274 |
or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable |
275 |
ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This |
276 |
change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall |
277 |
enabled by default. |
278 |
|
279 |
20070814: |
280 |
Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar |
281 |
for awhile. |
282 |
|
283 |
20070806: |
284 |
Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree. |
285 |
|
286 |
20070804: |
287 |
BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities. |
288 |
|
289 |
We switched to BSD cpio (pax). |
290 |
|
291 |
20070719: |
292 |
Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup |
293 |
|
294 |
20070716: |
295 |
Update GNU cpio to 2.8. |
296 |
|
297 |
20070410: |
298 |
cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed. |
299 |
cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with |
300 |
most of their local changes. |
301 |
|
302 |
20070409: |
303 |
RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will |
304 |
continue here. |
305 |
|
306 |
20070406: |
307 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
308 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
309 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
310 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
311 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
312 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
313 |
|
314 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
315 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
316 |
|
317 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
318 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
319 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
320 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
321 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
322 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
323 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
324 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
325 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
326 |
them. |
327 |
|
328 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
329 |
this from libc. |
330 |
|
331 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
332 |
installed. |
333 |
|
334 |
20070401: |
335 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
336 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
337 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
338 |
follow the these instructions: |
339 |
|
340 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
341 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
342 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
343 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
344 |
buildworld and kernel |
345 |
|
346 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
347 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
348 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
349 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
350 |
fix. |
351 |
|
352 |
20070314: |
353 |
Remove send-pr from src. |
354 |
|
355 |
Switch to NetBSD's gzip. |
356 |
|
357 |
Bump MBSD minor revision. |
358 |
|
359 |
20070313: |
360 |
Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1. |
361 |
|
362 |
Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it. |
363 |
|
364 |
Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for |
365 |
the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
366 |
|
367 |
20070312: |
368 |
Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the |
369 |
BSD Daemon files from src/share. |
370 |
|
371 |
20070308: |
372 |
Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including |
373 |
the Dell perc5i. |
374 |
|
375 |
20070206: |
376 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
377 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
378 |
|
379 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
380 |
will not be effected. |
381 |
|
382 |
20070119: |
383 |
Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file |
384 |
before installing world. |
385 |
|
386 |
hostapd was updated to 0.4.8. |
387 |
|
388 |
An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to |
389 |
unbreak world. |
390 |
|
391 |
wpa_supplicant was updated. |
392 |
|
393 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
394 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
395 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
396 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
397 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
398 |
|
399 |
20061231: |
400 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
401 |
|
402 |
Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions. |
403 |
|
404 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
405 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
406 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
407 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
408 |
|
409 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |
410 |
dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american, |

430 |
20061225: |
431 |
Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c |
432 |
that caused long double to long and long long |
433 |
conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1. |
434 |
|
435 |
20061221: |
436 |
Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no |
437 |
batteries are present. |
438 |

Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers. |
440 |
RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors. |

442 |
Corrected a bug with TTY. |
443 |
|
444 |
20061218: |

511 |
|
512 |
|
513 |
|
514 |
To build a kernel |
515 |
----------------- |
516 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
517 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
518 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
519 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
520 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
521 |
|
522 |
To test a kernel once |
523 |
--------------------- |
524 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
525 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
526 |
debugging information) run |
527 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
528 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
529 |
|
530 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
531 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
532 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
533 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
534 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
535 |
|
536 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
537 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
538 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
539 |
make depend |
540 |
make |
541 |
make install |
542 |
|
543 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
544 |
|
545 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
546 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
547 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
548 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
549 |
|
550 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
551 |
make buildworld |
552 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
553 |
[1] |
554 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
555 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
556 |
make installworld |
557 |
make delete-old |
558 |
mergemaster [4] |
559 |
<reboot> |
560 |
|
561 |
|
562 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
563 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
564 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
565 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
566 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
567 |
# size. |
568 |
|
569 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
570 |
<boot into -stable> |
571 |
make buildworld |
572 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
573 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
574 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
575 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
576 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
577 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
578 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
579 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
580 |
<reboot into current> |
581 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
582 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
583 |
<reboot> |
584 |
|
585 |
|
586 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
587 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
588 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
589 |
make buildworld [9] |
590 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
591 |
[1] |
592 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
593 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
594 |
make installworld |
595 |
make delete-old |
596 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
597 |
<reboot> |
598 |
|
599 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
600 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
601 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
602 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
603 |
the UPDATING entries. |
604 |
|
605 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
606 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
607 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
608 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
609 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
610 |
|
611 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
612 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
613 |
system on reboot. |
614 |
|
615 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
616 |
fsck -p |
617 |
mount -u / |
618 |
mount -a |
619 |
cd src |
620 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
621 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
622 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
623 |
|
624 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
625 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
626 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
627 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
628 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
629 |
for potential gotchas. |
630 |
|
631 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
632 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
633 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
634 |
|
635 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
636 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
637 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
638 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
639 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
640 |
|
641 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
642 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
643 |
|
644 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
645 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
646 |
|
647 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
648 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
649 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
650 |
|
651 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
652 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
653 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
