Updating Information for MidnightBSD users |
2 |
|
3 |
20091024: |
4 |
cpdup updated from DragonFly to 1.15 |
5 |
|
6 |
tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009. |
7 |
|
8 |
20091010: |
9 |
amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now |
10 |
to test current. |
11 |
|
12 |
Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos |
13 |
on amd64 systems. |
14 |
|
15 |
20091006: |
16 |
Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and |
17 |
Argentina changes. |
18 |
|
19 |
Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in |
20 |
sbin and usr.sbin. |
21 |
|
22 |
20090919: |
23 |
Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009. |
24 |
|
25 |
20090729: |
26 |
Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet |
27 |
can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit |
28 |
|
29 |
20090606: |
30 |
Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work |
31 |
as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment |
32 |
in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck |
33 |
with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum. |
34 |
|
35 |
I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is |
36 |
fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base |
37 |
system which makes no sense. |
38 |
|
39 |
A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to |
40 |
the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support |
41 |
but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on |
42 |
an external device. |
43 |
|
44 |
20090520: |
45 |
The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve |
46 |
compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new |
47 |
installer option in the startup section to enable it. This |
48 |
makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks |
49 |
out my new Phenom too. |
50 |
|
51 |
20090502: |
52 |
OpenSSH 5.2p1 import |
53 |
|
54 |
ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only) |
55 |
|
56 |
20090501: |
57 |
Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD |
58 |
|
59 |
20090422: |
60 |
OpenSSL security update |
61 |
|
62 |
The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths |
63 |
of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them. |
64 |
|
65 |
20090415: |
66 |
Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols |
67 |
|
68 |
Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities. |
69 |
|
70 |
Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap |
71 |
tools to fail. |
72 |
|
73 |
20090405: |
74 |
xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not |
75 |
yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then |
76 |
add |
77 |
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" |
78 |
to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured |
79 |
kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf |
80 |
|
81 |
20090403: |
82 |
mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with |
83 |
buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back |
84 |
for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called |
85 |
MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh |
86 |
but we may change this later. This will allow further |
87 |
testing by users and developers of mksh without |
88 |
causing an unpleasant default experience. In the |
89 |
long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility. |
90 |
|
91 |
20090328: |
92 |
Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root |
93 |
and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1) |
94 |
as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with |
95 |
ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile |
96 |
as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as |
97 |
an optional build parameter. |
98 |
|
99 |
ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until |
100 |
the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?) |
101 |
|
102 |
Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the |
103 |
default for login and profile. |
104 |
|
105 |
20090327: |
106 |
Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio. |
107 |
|
108 |
Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10 |
109 |
to the build (part of os). This will have an impact |
110 |
on mports. |
111 |
|
112 |
20090325: |
113 |
Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1 |
114 |
|
115 |
Update mksh to R36b |
116 |
|
117 |
Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current. |
118 |
|
119 |
Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD. |
120 |
|
121 |
20090115: |
122 |
Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND. |
123 |
|
124 |
20090110: |
125 |
For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL |
126 |
certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be |
127 |
used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. |
128 |
|
129 |
Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be |
130 |
affected. |
131 |
|
132 |
Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd |
133 |
|
134 |
20090104: |

Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not |
142 |
properly initialized. |
143 |
|
144 |
Happy 2009. |
145 |
|
146 |
20081206: |
147 |
Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way, |
148 |
we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was |
149 |
changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected |
150 |
using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code. |
151 |
|
152 |
The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider |
153 |
i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again. |
154 |
|
155 |
mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info. |
156 |
|
157 |
batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and |
158 |
runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output |
159 |
shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the |
160 |
percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or |
161 |
-c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more. |
162 |
|
163 |
20081204: |
164 |
Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several |
165 |
new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel |
166 |
support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm), |
167 |
openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated |
168 |
intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ... |
169 |
|
170 |
Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version |
171 |
data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means |
172 |
testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version |
173 |
and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from |
174 |
sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed. |
175 |
|
176 |
20080905: |
177 |
update nve(4) to support new hardware. |
178 |
|

185 |
|
186 |
Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed. |
187 |
|
188 |
The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed. |
189 |
|
190 |
20080703: |
191 |
pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds, |
192 |
or posibly jails. |
193 |
|
194 |
20080627: |
195 |
Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC. |
196 |
|
197 |

209 |
ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that |
210 |
were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last |
211 |
few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration |
212 |
option. |
213 |
|
214 |
The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD. |
215 |
|
216 |
20080514: |
217 |
Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected |
218 |
to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it |
219 |
by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will |
220 |
install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with |
221 |
GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well. |
222 |
|
223 |
System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries |
224 |
on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance. |
225 |
|
226 |
20080430: |
227 |
__MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested |
228 |
to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor. |
229 |
|
230 |
20080429: |
231 |

275 |
|
276 |
20080307: |
277 |
Atheros driver no longer has several options set |
278 |
which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms. |
279 |
|
280 |
Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current |
281 |
thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx. |
282 |
|
283 |
Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and |
284 |
I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days. |
285 |
My copy is in the closet collecting dust. |
286 |
|
287 |
20080306: |
288 |
Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD. |
289 |
Developers can now use it to check src builds. |
290 |
|

written to stdout. |
352 |
|
353 |
20070831: |
354 |
Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to |
355 |
mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh. |
356 |
|
357 |
Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default |
358 |
with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall |
359 |
or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable |
360 |
ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This |
361 |
change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall |
362 |
enabled by default. |
363 |
|
364 |
20070814: |
365 |
Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar |
366 |
for awhile. |
367 |
|
368 |
20070806: |
369 |
Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree. |
370 |
|
371 |
20070804: |
372 |
BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities. |
373 |
|
374 |
We switched to BSD cpio (pax). |
375 |
|
376 |
20070719: |
377 |
Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup |
378 |
|
379 |
20070716: |
380 |
Update GNU cpio to 2.8. |
381 |
|
382 |
20070410: |
383 |
cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed. |
384 |
cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with |
385 |
most of their local changes. |
386 |
|
387 |
20070409: |
388 |
RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will |
389 |
continue here. |
390 |
|
391 |
20070406: |
392 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
393 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
394 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
395 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
396 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
397 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
398 |
|
399 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
400 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
401 |
|
402 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
403 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
404 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
405 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
406 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
407 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
408 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
409 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
410 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
411 |
them. |
412 |
|
413 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
414 |
this from libc. |
415 |
|
416 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
417 |
installed. |
418 |
|
419 |
20070401: |
420 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
421 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
422 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
423 |
follow the these instructions: |
424 |
|
425 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
426 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
427 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
428 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
429 |
buildworld and kernel |
430 |
|
431 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
432 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
433 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
434 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
435 |
fix. |
436 |
|
437 |
20070314: |
438 |
Remove send-pr from src. |
439 |
|
440 |

446 |
|
447 |
Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it. |
448 |
|
449 |
Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for |
450 |
the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
451 |
|
452 |
20070312: |
453 |
Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the |
454 |
BSD Daemon files from src/share. |
455 |
|
456 |
20070308: |
457 |
Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including |

461 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
462 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
463 |
|
464 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
465 |
will not be effected. |
466 |

477 |
|
478 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
479 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
480 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
481 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
482 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
483 |
|
484 |
20061231: |
485 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
486 |
|

488 |
|
489 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
490 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
491 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
492 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
493 |
|
494 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |

|
599 |
To build a kernel |
600 |
----------------- |
601 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
602 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
603 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
604 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
605 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
606 |
|
607 |
To test a kernel once |
608 |
--------------------- |
609 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
610 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
611 |
debugging information) run |
612 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
613 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
614 |
|
615 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
616 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
617 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
618 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
619 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
620 |
|
621 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
622 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
623 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
624 |
make depend |
625 |
make |
626 |
make install |
627 |
|
628 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
629 |
|
630 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
631 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
632 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
633 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
634 |
|
635 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
636 |
make buildworld |
637 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
638 |
[1] |
639 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
640 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
641 |
make installworld |
642 |
make delete-old |
643 |
mergemaster [4] |
644 |
<reboot> |
645 |
|
646 |
|
647 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
648 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
649 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
650 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
651 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
652 |
# size. |
653 |
|
654 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
655 |
<boot into -stable> |
656 |
make buildworld |
657 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
658 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
659 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
660 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
661 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
662 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
663 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
664 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
665 |
<reboot into current> |
666 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
667 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
668 |
<reboot> |
669 |
|
670 |
|
671 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
672 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
673 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
674 |
make buildworld [9] |
675 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
676 |
[1] |
677 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
678 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
679 |
make installworld |
680 |
make delete-old |
681 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
682 |
<reboot> |
683 |
|
684 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
685 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
686 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
687 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
688 |
the UPDATING entries. |
689 |
|
690 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
691 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
692 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
693 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
694 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
695 |
|
696 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
697 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
698 |
system on reboot. |
699 |
|
700 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
701 |
fsck -p |
702 |
mount -u / |
703 |
mount -a |
704 |
cd src |
705 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
706 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
707 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
708 |
|
709 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
710 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
711 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
712 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
713 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
714 |
for potential gotchas. |
715 |
|
716 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
717 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
718 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
719 |
|
720 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
721 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
722 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
723 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
724 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
725 |
|
726 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
727 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
728 |
|
729 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
730 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
731 |
|
732 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
733 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
734 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
735 |
|
736 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
737 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
738 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
