# Content
1 Updating Information for MidnightBSD users
2
3 20090415:
4 Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
5
6 Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
7
8 Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
9 tools to fail.
10
11 20090405:
12 xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
13 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
14 add
15 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
16 to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
17 kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
18
19 20090403:
20 mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
21 buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back
22 for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
23 MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
24 but we may change this later. This will allow further
25 testing by users and developers of mksh without
26 causing an unpleasant default experience. In the
27 long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
28
29 20090328:
30 Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
31 and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
32 as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with
33 ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
34 as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
35 an optional build parameter.
36
37 ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
38 the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
39
40 Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
41 default for login and profile.
42
43 20090327:
44 Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
45
46 Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
47 to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
48 on mports.
49
50 20090325:
51 Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
52
53 Update mksh to R36b
54
55 Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
56
57 Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
58
59 20090115:
60 Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
61
62 20090110:
63 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
64 certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be
65 used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
66
67 Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
68 affected.
69
70 Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
71
72 20090104:
73 Import GNU libreadline 5.2
74
75 20090101:
76 Update time zone data to 2008i.
77
78 20081231:
79 Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
80 properly initialized.
81
82 Happy 2009.
83
84 20081206:
85 Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
86 we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was
87 changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
88 using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
89
90 The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider
91 i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
92
93 mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
94
95 batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and
96 runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output
97 shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
98 percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
99 -c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more.
100
101 20081204:
102 Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
103 new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
104 support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
105 openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
106 intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
107
108 Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
109 data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means
110 testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
111 and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
112 sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
113
114 20080905:
115 update nve(4) to support new hardware.
116
117 20080801:
118 Import OpenBSM 1.0
119
120 Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
121
122 etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
123
124 Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
125
126 The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
127
128 20080703:
129 pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
130 or posibly jails.
131
132 20080627:
133 Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
134
135 Add glabel to GENERIC.
136
137 Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
138
139 pcc connected to the build on i386. (alternative compiler)
140
141 ath added to GENERIC. (Atheros wireless NICs) on amd64/i386
142
143 20080528:
144 Sendmail 8.14.3
145
146 20080516:
147 ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
148 were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
149 few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
150 option.
151
152 The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
153
154 20080514:
155 Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
156 to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
157 by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
158 install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
159 GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
160
161 System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
162 on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
163
164 20080430:
165 __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
166 to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
167
168 20080429:
169 Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
170
171 libpthread (KSE) and libthr are built earlier
172
173 pcvt(4) removed!
174
175 Alias added for core2 cpus.
176
177 Alpha and PC98 only utilities removed from usr/sbin
178
179 syslogd, adduser, rmuser, mergemaster and mailwrapper have been
180 improved. See the man pages for info.
181
182 periodic scripts will not send emails with empty message bodies.
183 See mailwrapper fix.
184
185 20080410:
186 Sync cpdup with DragonFly. Add parallel transaction support and
187 -l flag to line-buffer stdout and stderr.
188
189 20080406:
190 Import bzip2 1.05
191 Import OpenSSH 4.9p1
192
193 20080322:
194 The default umask was changed to 022.
195
196 /usr/X11R6 paths were removed from several config files.
197
198 .mkshrc files are now installed for root.

201 FIx a problem with gif0 tunnels and neighbors with IPV6.
202
203 20080312:

205
206 New OS versions were added to the mapage code (groff)
207
208 20080310:
209 Correct a buffer overflow in ppp.

211 20080308:
212 Remove /usr/X11R6 from manpath config.
213
214 20080307:
215 Atheros driver no longer has several options set
216 which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
217
218 Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
219 thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
220
221 Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
222 I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
223 My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
224
225 20080306:
226 Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
227 Developers can now use it to check src builds.
228
229 20080303:

257 Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.
258
259 20080121:
260 Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
261 according to a VM present. VMWare and Parallels
262 should work better like this.

289 written to stdout.
290
291 20070831:
292 Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
293 mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
294
295 Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
296 with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
297 or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
298 ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
299 change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
300 enabled by default.
301
302 20070814:
303 Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
304 for awhile.
305
306 20070806:
307 Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
308
309 20070804:
310 BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
311
312 We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
313
314 20070719:
315 Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
316
317 20070716:
318 Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
319
320 20070410:
321 cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
322 cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
323 most of their local changes.
324
325 20070409:
326 RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
327 continue here.
328
329 20070406:
330 Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
331 with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
332 curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
333 multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
334 work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
335 patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
336
337 It is more important to have a stable system for our
338 mport work and other projects at this time.
339
340 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
341 have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
342 or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
343 make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
344 of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
345 /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
346 your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
347 mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
348 chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
349 them.
350
351 You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
352 this from libc.
353
354 You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
355 installed.
356
357 20070401:
358 Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
359 provide us with much greater security and stability in the
360 long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
361 follow the these instructions:
362
363 cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
364 cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
365 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
366 cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
367 buildworld and kernel
368
369 It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
370 prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
371 or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
372 and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
373 fix.
374
375 20070314:
376 Remove send-pr from src.
377
378 Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
379
380 Bump MBSD minor revision.
381
382 20070313:
383 Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
384
385 Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
386
387 Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
388 the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
389
390 20070312:
391 Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
392 BSD Daemon files from src/share.
393
394 20070308:
395 Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
396 the Dell perc5i.
397
398 20070206:
399 Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
400 /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
401
402 Those who install from a snapshot after this date
403 will not be effected.
404
405 20070119:
406 Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
407 before installing world.
408
409 hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
410
411 An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
412 unbreak world.
413
414 wpa_supplicant was updated.
415
416 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
417 sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
418 fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
419 2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
420 will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
421
422 20061231:
423 Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
424
425 Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
426
427 Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
428 synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
429 to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
430 Feb 26, 2006.
431
432 Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
433 dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
434 /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
435
436 Numerous man page and bug fixes.
437
438 20061226:
439 Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
440 MidnightBSD CVSup server.
441
442 Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
443 erasing CDRW media.
444
445 Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
446 in C.
447
448 Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
449
450 Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
451 geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
452
453 20061225:
454 Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
455 that caused long double to long and long long
456 conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
457
458 20061221:
459 Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
460 batteries are present.
461
462 Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
463 RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
464
465 Corrected a bug with TTY.
466
467 20061218:
468 Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
469 threads don't get scheduled.
470
471 20061206:
472 Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
473
474 20061129:
475 Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
476
477 Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
478 FreeBSD.
479
480 20061031:
481 Updated man pages in section 7.
482
483 20061030:
484 Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
485 r300 cards properly.
486
487 Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
488
489 Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
490
491 20061027:
492 Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
493 random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
494 to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
495 commited.
496
497 lukemftpd updated.
498
499 openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
500 seeding.
501
502 20061014:
503 Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
504
505 Started removal of alpha support.
506
507 20061013:
508 ATA driver was updated. USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
509
510 20061010:
511 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
512
513 20060909:
514 OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
515 the old ntpd daemon.
516
517 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
518 on a per line basis.
519
520 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
521 keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
522 improved with this patch.
523
524 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
525 increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
526
527 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
528
529 Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
530
531 20060817:
532 ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
533 the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
534
535
536
537 To build a kernel
538 -----------------
539 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
540 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
541 /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
542 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
543 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
544
545 To test a kernel once
546 ---------------------
547 If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
548 if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
549 debugging information) run
550 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
551 nextboot -k testkernel
552
553 To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
554 --------------------------------------------------------------
555 This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
556 ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
557 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
558
559 cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
560 config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
561 cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
562 make depend
563 make
564 make install
565
566 If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
567
568 To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
569 -----------------------------------------------------------
570 # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
571 # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
572
573 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
574 make buildworld
575 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
576 [1]
577 <reboot in single user> [3]
578 mergemaster -p [5]
579 make installworld
580 make delete-old
581 mergemaster [4]
582 <reboot>
583
584
585 To cross-install current onto a separate partition
586 --------------------------------------------------
587 # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
588 # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
589 # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
590 # size.
591
592 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
593 <boot into -stable>
594 make buildworld
595 make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
596 <maybe newfs current's root partition>
597 <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
598 make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
599 cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
600 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
601 cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
602 <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
603 <reboot into current>
604 <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
605 <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
606 <reboot>

608
609 To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
610 -----------------------------------------------------------
611 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
612 make buildworld [9]
613 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
614 [1]
615 <reboot in single user> [3]
616 mergemaster -p [5]
617 make installworld
618 make delete-old
619 mergemaster -i [4]
620 <reboot>
621
622 Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
623 tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
624 cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
625 to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
626 the UPDATING entries.
627
628 Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
629 freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
630 your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
631 messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
632 much fewer pitfalls.
633
634 [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
635 should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
636 system on reboot.
637
638 [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
639 fsck -p
640 mount -u /
641 mount -a
642 cd src
643 adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
644 Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
645 you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
646
647 [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
648 can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
649 system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
650 that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
651 as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
652 for potential gotchas.
653
654 [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
655 you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
656 step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
657
658 [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
659 needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
660 option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
661 that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
662 is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
663
664 Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
665 last time you updated your kernel config file.
666
667 [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
668 cvs prune empty directories.
669
670 If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
671 "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
672 override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
673
674 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
675 not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
676 warn if it is improperly defined.
