et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but |
20 |
not included in GENERIC kernel. The kernel module needs |
21 |
testing before we can include it in GENERIC. |
22 |
|
23 |
intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one |
24 |
specific CPU core. |
25 |
|
26 |
20111017: |
27 |
Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011) |
28 |
|
29 |
Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data. |
30 |
|
31 |
20111015: |
32 |
Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used |
33 |
to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given |
34 |
process. Several new system calls were added to support this |
35 |
functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary |
36 |
compatibility on amd64. |
37 |
|
38 |
The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and |
39 |
amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE) |
40 |
for this feature. |
41 |
|
42 |
This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches. |
43 |
|
44 |
20111004: |
45 |
Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent |
46 |
patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network |
47 |
apps to work under the linuxolator again. |
48 |
|
49 |
20111001: |
50 |
Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is |
51 |
now default and an environment variable must be set to use |
52 |
active. |
53 |
|
54 |
20110930: |
55 |
Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including |
56 |
USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices. |
57 |
|
58 |
Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4). |
59 |
Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed |
60 |
when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum |
61 |
offloading. |
62 |
|
63 |
Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when |
64 |
working with large raid3 sets. |
65 |
|
66 |
Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller. |
67 |
|
68 |
20110929: |
69 |
Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3. |
70 |
|
71 |
The following modules are no longer available, and should be |
72 |
removed from loader.conf: |
73 |
ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample |
74 |
|
75 |
alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often |
76 |
required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that |
77 |
a connection could be established. Disable hibernation. |
78 |
|
79 |
20110928: |
80 |
Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z |
81 |
files that are corrupted. |
82 |
|
83 |
Fix path validation with unix domain sockets. |
84 |
|
85 |
20110917: |
86 |
Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as |
87 |
it's in the base system. |
88 |
|
89 |
20110914: |
90 |
Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3 |
91 |
|
92 |
20110813: |
93 |
synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64. |
94 |
|
95 |
20110806: |
96 |
sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported |
97 |
|
98 |
msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides |
99 |
a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used |
100 |
to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable |
101 |
index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the |
102 |
/usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable |
103 |
space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently. |
104 |
|
105 |
Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package |
106 |
versions. This will be obsolete with mport though. |
107 |
|
108 |
20110710: |
109 |
kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to |
110 |
know why it's in use and thus script can be run. |
111 |
|
112 |
Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed |
113 |
|
114 |
20110709: |
115 |
cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change |
116 |
with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4). |
117 |
|
118 |
20110612: |
119 |
Update mksh to R40 |
120 |
|
121 |
Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when |
122 |
updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old) |
123 |
|
124 |
20110528: |
125 |
Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers. |
126 |
|
127 |
20110526: |
128 |
newfs: |
129 |
Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from |
130 |
16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K. |
131 |
|
132 |
This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format" |
133 |
hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type |
134 |
have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course |
135 |
the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk. |
136 |
|
137 |
20110521: |
138 |
mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove |
139 |
all packages from a system. |
140 |
|
141 |
A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed. |

178 |
20110216: |
179 |
Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between |
180 |
igb(4) and em(4). Newer devices use igb(4). The code has moved |
181 |
to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has |
182 |
been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64. |
183 |
|
184 |
Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL. |
185 |
|
186 |
20110215: |
187 |
age(4) added. |
188 |
|
189 |

225 |
A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when |
226 |
processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime |
227 |
numbers. [CVE-2010-2939] |
228 |
|
229 |
20101120: |
230 |
Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file |
231 |
systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due |
232 |
to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified |
233 |
our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts |
234 |
which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB. |
235 |
|
236 |
newfs and growfs was also modified. |
237 |
|
238 |
20101110: |
239 |
Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel |
240 |
context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file |
241 |
systems such as procfs for instance. |
242 |
|
243 |
20101021: |
244 |
sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily. |
245 |
This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was |
246 |
written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD. |
247 |
|
248 |
20100920: |
249 |
bzip2 security patch for integer overflow. |
250 |
|
251 |
20100905: |
252 |
MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created. Aggressive development continues here |
253 |
for 0.4. |
254 |
|
255 |
20100902: |
256 |
Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in |
257 |
login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow |
258 |
the user to get more resources than they're allowed. |
259 |
|
260 |
20100822: |
261 |
Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd). |
262 |
|
263 |
20100814: |
264 |
libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in |
265 |
Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is |
266 |
licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that |
267 |
it's not required for all users to run code under a license they |
268 |
may not like. |
269 |
|
270 |
20100713: |

posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and |
334 |
install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or |
335 |
older current systems. |
336 |
|
337 |
kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality. |
338 |
|

Bind security update. Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative |
341 |
cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack. |
342 |
|
343 |
Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes. |
344 |

373 |
|
374 |
Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos |
375 |
on amd64 systems. |
376 |
|
377 |
20091006: |
378 |
Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and |

389 |
can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit |
390 |
|
391 |
20090606: |
392 |
Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work |
393 |
as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment |
394 |
in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck |
395 |
with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum. |
396 |
|
397 |
I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is |
398 |
fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base |
399 |
system which makes no sense. |
400 |
|
401 |
A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to |
402 |
the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support |
403 |
but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on |
404 |
an external device. |
405 |
|
406 |
20090520: |
407 |
The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve |
408 |
compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new |
409 |
installer option in the startup section to enable it. This |
410 |
makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks |
411 |
out my new Phenom too. |

xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not |
437 |
yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then |
438 |
add |
439 |
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" |
440 |
to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured |
441 |
kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf |

444 |
mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with |
445 |
buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back |
446 |
for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called |
447 |
MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh |
448 |
but we may change this later. This will allow further |
449 |
testing by users and developers of mksh without |
450 |
causing an unpleasant default experience. In the |
451 |
long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility. |
452 |
|
453 |
20090328: |
454 |
Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root |
455 |
and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1) |
456 |
as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with |
457 |
ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile |
458 |
as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as |
459 |
an optional build parameter. |
460 |
|
461 |
ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until |
462 |
the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?) |

Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio. |
469 |
|
470 |
Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10 |
471 |
to the build (part of os). This will have an impact |
472 |
on mports. |
473 |

For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL |
488 |
certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be |
489 |
used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. |
490 |
|
491 |
Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be |
492 |
affected. |

507 |
|
508 |
20081206: |
509 |
Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way, |
510 |
we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was |
511 |
changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected |
512 |
using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code. |
513 |
|
514 |
The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider |
515 |
i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again. |
516 |
|
517 |
mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info. |
518 |
|
519 |
batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and |
520 |
runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output |
521 |
shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the |
522 |
percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or |
523 |
-c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more. |
524 |
|
525 |
20081204: |
526 |
Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several |

openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated |
530 |
intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ... |
531 |
|
532 |
Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version |
533 |
data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means |
534 |
testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version |
535 |
and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from |
536 |
sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed. |
537 |
|
538 |
20080905: |
539 |
update nve(4) to support new hardware. |
540 |
|

547 |
|
548 |
Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed. |
549 |
|
550 |
The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed. |
551 |
|
552 |
20080703: |

ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that |
572 |
were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last |
573 |
few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration |
574 |
option. |
575 |
|
576 |
The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD. |
577 |
|
578 |
20080514: |
579 |
Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected |
580 |
to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it |
581 |
by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will |
582 |
install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with |
583 |
GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well. |
584 |
|
585 |
System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries |
586 |
on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance. |
587 |
|
588 |
20080430: |
589 |
__MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested |
590 |
to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor. |
591 |
|
592 |

643 |
thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx. |

|
715 |
20070831: |
716 |

717 |
mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh. |
718 |
|
719 |
Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default |
720 |
with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall |
721 |
or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable |
722 |
ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This |
723 |
change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall |
724 |
enabled by default. |
725 |
|
726 |
20070814: |
727 |
Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar |
728 |
for awhile. |
729 |
|
730 |
20070806: |
731 |
Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree. |
732 |
|
733 |
20070804: |
734 |
BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities. |
735 |
|
736 |
We switched to BSD cpio (pax). |
737 |
|
738 |
20070719: |
739 |
Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup |
740 |
|
741 |
20070716: |
742 |
Update GNU cpio to 2.8. |
743 |
|
744 |
20070410: |
745 |
cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed. |
746 |
cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with |
747 |
most of their local changes. |
748 |
|
749 |
20070409: |
750 |
RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will |
751 |
continue here. |
752 |
|
753 |
20070406: |
754 |
Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems |
755 |
with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread. |
756 |
curthread was often NULL after the patch and many |
757 |
multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to |
758 |
work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new |
759 |
patch which also corrects our threading issues later. |
760 |
|
761 |
It is more important to have a stable system for our |
762 |
mport work and other projects at this time. |
763 |
|
764 |
This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you |
765 |
have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall |
766 |
or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and |
767 |
make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents |
768 |
of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, |
769 |
/usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on |
770 |
your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user |
771 |
mode and run make installworld. You will need to run |
772 |
chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite |
773 |
them. |
774 |
|
775 |
You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove |
776 |
this from libc. |
777 |
|
778 |
You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was |
779 |
installed. |
780 |
|
781 |
20070401: |
782 |
Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to |
783 |
provide us with much greater security and stability in the |
784 |
long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please |
785 |
follow the these instructions: |
786 |
|
787 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install |
788 |
cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install |
789 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install |
790 |
cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install |
791 |
buildworld and kernel |
792 |
|
793 |
It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built |
794 |
prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors |
795 |
or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org |
796 |
and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious |
797 |
fix. |
798 |
|
799 |
20070314: |
800 |

812 |
the tcp autobuf patch applied previously. |
813 |
|
814 |
20070312: |
815 |
Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the |
816 |
BSD Daemon files from src/share. |
817 |
|
818 |
20070308: |
819 |
Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including |
820 |
the Dell perc5i. |
821 |
|
822 |
20070206: |
823 |
Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install |
824 |
/usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building. |
825 |
|
826 |
Those who install from a snapshot after this date |
827 |
will not be effected. |
828 |
|
829 |
20070119: |
830 |
Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file |
831 |
before installing world. |
832 |
|
833 |
hostapd was updated to 0.4.8. |
834 |
|
835 |
An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to |
836 |
unbreak world. |
837 |
|
838 |
wpa_supplicant was updated. |
839 |
|
840 |
For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD |
841 |
sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original |
842 |
fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May |
843 |
2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and |
844 |
will not sync every little change with FreeBSD. |
845 |
|
846 |
20061231: |
847 |
Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007. |
848 |
|
849 |
Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions. |
850 |
|
851 |
Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've |
852 |
synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe |
853 |
to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from |
854 |
Feb 26, 2006. |
855 |
|
856 |
Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional |
857 |

Corrected a bug with TTY. |
890 |
|
891 |
20061218: |

958 |
|
959 |
|
960 |
|
961 |
To build a kernel |
962 |
----------------- |
963 |
If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just |
964 |
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a |
965 |
/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld, |
966 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
967 |
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
968 |
|
969 |
To test a kernel once |
970 |
--------------------- |
971 |
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure |
972 |
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide |
973 |
debugging information) run |
974 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel |
975 |
nextboot -k testkernel |
976 |
|
977 |
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up |
978 |
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
979 |
This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace |
980 |
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386", |
981 |
"amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc). |
982 |
|
983 |
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf |
984 |
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
985 |
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE |
986 |
make depend |
987 |
make |
988 |
make install |
989 |
|
990 |
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section. |
991 |
|
992 |
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. |
993 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
994 |
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than |
995 |
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. |
996 |
|
997 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
998 |
make buildworld |
999 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
1000 |
[1] |
1001 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
1002 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
1003 |
make installworld |
1004 |
make delete-old |
1005 |
mergemaster [4] |
1006 |
<reboot> |
1007 |
|
1008 |
|
1009 |
To cross-install current onto a separate partition |
1010 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
1011 |
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold |
1012 |
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition |
1013 |
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in |
1014 |
# size. |
1015 |
|
1016 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
1017 |
<boot into -stable> |
1018 |
make buildworld |
1019 |
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
1020 |
<maybe newfs current's root partition> |
1021 |
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}> |
1022 |
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
1023 |
cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd |
1024 |
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} |
1025 |
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd |
1026 |
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition> |
1027 |
<reboot into current> |
1028 |
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section> |
1029 |
<maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat> |
1030 |
<reboot> |
1031 |
|
1032 |
|
1033 |
To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable |
1034 |
----------------------------------------------------------- |
1035 |
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps> |
1036 |
make buildworld [9] |
1037 |
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8] |
1038 |
[1] |
1039 |
<reboot in single user> [3] |
1040 |
mergemaster -p [5] |
1041 |
make installworld |
1042 |
make delete-old |
1043 |
mergemaster -i [4] |
1044 |
<reboot> |
1045 |
|
1046 |
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the |
1047 |
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life |
1048 |
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own |
1049 |
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of |
1050 |
the UPDATING entries. |
1051 |
|
1052 |
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to |
1053 |
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update |
1054 |
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent |
1055 |
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has |
1056 |
much fewer pitfalls. |
1057 |
|
1058 |
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you |
1059 |
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your |
1060 |
system on reboot. |
1061 |
|
1062 |
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
1063 |
fsck -p |
1064 |
mount -u / |
1065 |
mount -a |
1066 |
cd src |
1067 |
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
1068 |
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that |
1069 |
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. |
1070 |
|
1071 |
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step |
1072 |
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the |
1073 |
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those |
1074 |
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well |
1075 |
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists |
1076 |
for potential gotchas. |
1077 |
|
1078 |
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time |
1079 |
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following |
1080 |
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. |
1081 |
|
1082 |
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries |
1083 |
needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
1084 |
option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system |
1085 |
that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 |
1086 |
is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. |
1087 |
|
1088 |
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the |
1089 |
last time you updated your kernel config file. |
1090 |
|
1091 |
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have |
1092 |
cvs prune empty directories. |
1093 |
|
1094 |
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the |
1095 |
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can |
1096 |
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. |
1097 |
|
1098 |
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and |
1099 |
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will |
1100 |
warn if it is improperly defined. |
