114
115 20160923:
116 Security update for OpenSSL
117
118 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension.
119 If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status
120 Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the
121 server. [CVE-2016-6304]
122
123 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or through
124 the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker is able to supply
125 very large amounts of input data after a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate()
126 with a partial block then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
127 corruption. [CVE-2016-6303]
128
129 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
130 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
131 ultimately crash. [CVE-2016-6302]
132
133 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
134 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
135 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
136 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
137 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
138 [CVE-2016-2182]
139
140 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
141 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
142 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are presented.
143 [CVE-2016-2180]
144
145 Some calculations of limits in OpenSSL have used undefined pointer arithmetic.
146 This could cause problems with some malloc implementations. [CVE-2016-2177]
147
148 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in order to
149 avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA implementation means that
150 a non-constant time codepath is followed for certain operations. [CVE-2016-2178]
151
152 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order those
153 messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered for later
154 use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages
155 do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has been completed.
156 An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to remain in the buffer when
157 they are no longer required. These messages will be cleared when the DTLS
158 connection is closed. The default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore
159 the attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per connection.
160 [CVE-2016-2179]
161
162 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records that
163 arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before the MAC
164 for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by
165 sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have a
166 valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that all subsequent
167 legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of service for a specific
168 DTLS connection. [CVE-2016-2181]
169
170 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result in
171 OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a theoretical
172 DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common platforms.
173 [CVE-2016-6306]
174
175 20160918:
176 With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
177 depended on during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
178 the user prior to installworld.
179
180 The VFS KBI was changed with the merge of several nullfs
181 optimizations and fixes. All filesystem modules must be
182 recompiled.
183
184 20160916:
185 The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
186 generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
187 Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
188 needed. The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
189 option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
190 configurations.
191
192 A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged.
193 Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
194 is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
195 compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
196 pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS
197 pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj".
198 For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page.
199 Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
200 on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
201
202 20160906:
203 Add support for the MosChip MCS9904 four serial ports
204 controller.
205
206 Add support for walltimestamp in DTrace.
207
208 Various gdb improvments.
209
210 ZFS
211 Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O,
212 nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically
213 secure) of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
214 It also saves space if snapshots are in use.
215
216 It currently works only on datasets with enabled compression, disabled
217 deduplication and sha256 checksums.
218
219 Add loader(8) tunable to enable/disable nopwrite functionality:
220 vfs.zfs.nopwrite_enabled
221
222 Introduce a new dataset aclmode setting "restricted" to protect ACL's
223 being destroyed or corrupted by a drive-by chmod.
224
225 New loader-only tunables:
226 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_deferred_free
227 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_dont_compress
228 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_rewrite
229
230 chkgrp(8) add support for q flag
231
232 Fix problem with the Samsung 840 PRO series SSD detection.
233 The device reports support for SATA Asynchronous Notification in its
234 IDENTIFY data, but returns error on attempt to enable that feature.
235 Make SATA XPT of CAM only report these errors, but not fail the device.
236
237 20160905:
238 Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues
239 available to the user. Kqueue now saves the ucred of the
240 allocating thread, to correctly decrement the counter on close.
241 Based on FreeBSD SVN 256849
242
243 Import netcat from OpenBSD 5.2
244
245 20160904:
246 Introduced experimental TCP sysctls starting with
247 net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10
248
249 20160814:
250 switched default desktop port to midnightbsd-desktop. This gives us flexibility to change it
251 in the release after the fact.
252
253 tzdata 2016a
254
255 20160811:
256 libdispatch 210
257
258 Added quirks for several models of SSDs to enable advanced format/4k mode. List includes
259 Samsung 830, 840, 850 and 750 series, Intel x25 and a few Toshiba models. Also
260 added WD Red drives.
261
262 Updated list of pci device vendors.
263
264 Updated list of usb devices.
265
266 20160807:

274 support mkdir -p like behavior for plist entries.
275
276 20160531:
277 Fix four security issues with MidnightBSD.
278
279 The implementation of TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
280 struct before sending to userland in the linux emulation layer.
281
282 The compat 43 stat(2) system call exposes kernel stack to userland.
283
284 libarchive - CVE-2015-2304 and CVE-2013-0211 fix issues with
285 cpio directory traversal and an integer signedness error in the archive
286 write zip data routine.
287
288

296
297 20160519:
298 Kernel Security updates
299
300 atkbd(4) - Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious
301 local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
302
303 Incorrect argument handling in sendmsg(2)
304
305 Incorrect argument handling in the socket code allows malicious local
306 user to overwrite large portion of the kernel memory.
307
308 20160505:
309 OpenSSL security patch
310
311 The padding check in AES-NI CBC MAC was rewritten to be in constant time
312 by making sure that always the same bytes are read and compared against
313 either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer checked that there was
314 enough data to have both the MAC and padding bytes. [CVE-2016-2107]
315
316 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
317 Base64 encoding of binary data. [CVE-2016-2105]
318
319 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function, however it is
320 believed that there can be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
321 [CVE-2016-2106]
322
323 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
324 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
325 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
326 [CVE-2016-2109]
327
328 20160412:
329 0.8 stable branch created. Continue development as 0.9.
330
331 Fix several issues with wait6 system call addition.
332
333 20160409:
334 libmport now supports two new plist formats:
335 @(root,wheel,4775) myfile
336 @dir(root,wheel,775) mydir
337
338 On delete, absoluate paths are now handled properly.
339
340 20160317:
341 OpenSSH doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
342
343 Fix a security issue with OpenSSH X11 forwarding that can allow an attacker
344 run shell commands on the call to xauth.
345
346 Incorrect argument validation in sysarch(2)
347
348 A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to
349 uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT. The start descriptor
350 is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided. Due to invalid
351 use of a signed intermediate value in the bounds checking during argument
352 validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent
353 memory can be initiated from usermode.
354
355 Patch obtained from FreeBSD.
356
357 20160229:
358 top now displays information on ZFS arc cache.
359
360 20160228:
361 llvm + clang 3.3 is now the default compiler in MidnightBSD.
362
363 20160222:
364 Introduce pipe2 to linux emulation layer.
365
366 20160114:
367 OpenSSL
368
369 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
370 if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
371 mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194]
372
373 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak
374 memory. [CVE-2015-3195]
375
376 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values
377 are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. [CVE-2015-3196]
378
379 Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
380
381 TCP MD5 signature denial of service
382
383 A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
384 and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
385
386 SCTP
387
388 A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack
389 can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer
390 dereference. In either case, a kernel panic will follow.
391
392 20160102:
393 Happy New Year
394
395 20151101:
396 Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
397
398 20151017:
399 Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
400 it in mport(1).
401
402 20151002:
403 Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
404
405 20150930:
406 In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
407 two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer. When one
408 of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
409 would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
410
411 20150926:
412 libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
413 to replace @exec and @unexec.
414
415 pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
416
417 post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
418 pkg message.
419
420 pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
421
422 post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
423
424 20150917:
425 Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
426
427 20150825:
428 kernel:
429 fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via
430 userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
431
432 openssh:
433 A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
434 service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
435 overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
436
437 A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
438 service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
439 compromised unprivileged child process.
440
441 A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
442 service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
443
444 20150818:
445 expat security fix
446
447 20150815:
448 libc changes:
449 setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
450 libc will compile without error using clang
451
452 20150814:
453 wait6 system call added.
454
455 date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
456 like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
457
458 20150811:
459 ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
460 Intel lynxpoint SATA.
461
462 Fix some const warnings when building several device drivers
463 with llvm/clang.
464
465 Sync cas(4) with FreeBSD 9-stable.
466
467 Fix some minor issues with ath(4).
468
469 20150809:
470 xz 5.0.8
471
472 20150808:
473 libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
474
475 20150805:
476 routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
477 the network can disrupt routing.
478
479 bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
480 to run.
481
482 20150802:
483 jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
484
485 20150728:
486 Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
487
488 OpenSSL 1.0.1o
489
490 cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
491
492 TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
493 There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
494 global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
495 queues into a per-VNET limit. Because mbufs are allocated from a
496 global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
497 total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
498 total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
499 traffic would cease.
500 Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
501
502 OpenSSH
503
504 Fix two security vulnerabilities:
505 OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
506 offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
507
508 OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
509 using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
510 MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
511
512
513 Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
514
515 20150726:
516 BSD Sort updated
517
518 sqlite 3.8.10.2
519
520 20150725:
521 Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.
522
523 The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
524 nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
525 calculation nmemb * size.
526
527 20150722:
528 Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
529 state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
530
531 20150715:
532 libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
533 a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
534 it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
535 .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
536 only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
537
538 20150709:
539 flex 2.5.39
540
541 20150702:
542 ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
543 with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
544
545 Verify it's working with
546 zfs get compressratio pool/path
547 du -h -s *
548
549 Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
550 changes. Existing files are not compressed.
551
552 Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
553 FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
554 and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
555 to ZFS.
556
557 20150621:
558 libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
559
560 The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc
561 for this to work. This is equivalent to running service <name> onestop
562
563 20150618:
564 Sendmail
565
566 With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
567 sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
568
569 Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
570 match the server configuration.
571
572 ZFS
573
574 Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
575 ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
576
577 Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
578 first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
579 amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
580 to disable this behaviour.
581
582 ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
583 is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
584 via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
585
586 Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
587 under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
588
589 rc.d
590
591 Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
592 implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
593
594 Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.

629 20150225:
630 Fix two security vulnerabilities.
631
632 1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
633 are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
634 "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
635 unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
636 variable.
637
638 CVE-2015-1349
639
640 2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
641 in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
642
643 This can result in a DOS attack.
644
645 20141211:

666 20141021:
667 Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
668 and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
669 nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
670
671 The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
672 attempt to answer them. However, the output path assumes that the
673 destination address for the response is on a directly connected
674 network.
675
676 Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
677 a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
678 overflow in rtsold(8).

719 to consume large amounts of memory. [CVE-2014-3506]
720
721 The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS packet could cause OpenSSL to leak
722 memory. [CVE-2014-3507]
723
724 A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
725 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
726 the stack. [CVE-2014-3508]

806
807 20130917:
808 Support for 65,536 routing tables was added. A new fib specific
809 field has been added to mbuf. This is an increase from 16.
810
811 20130910:
812 Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
813
814 nullfs(5)
815
816 The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
817 check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
818 nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
819 location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
820 underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
821
822 ifioctl
823
824 As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
825 handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
826 passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
827 return an error code.
828
829 Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
830 SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
831 handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
832 validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer
833 actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
834 and resetting the underlying hardware.
835
836 20130824:
837 Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
838 handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
839 FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
840 will be included in the next release.
841
842 Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
843 binary. It has limited functionality, but can be used to
844 checkout/commit code. It is named svnlite.
845
846 20130822:
847 Fix two security vulnerabilities.
848
849 Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
850 This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.
851
852 When initializing the SCTP state cookie being sent in INIT-ACK chunks,
853 a buffer allocated from the kernel stack is not completely initialized.

942
943 If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
944 to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.
945
946 This has to due with the way that openssl works. It ignores unencrpted data.
947
948 Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd.
949
950 nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some
951 operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security
952 hole in things like ftpd.

1006
1007 intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one
1008 specific CPU core.
1009

1013 Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data.
1014
1015 20111015:
1016 Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
1017 to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
1018 process. Several new system calls were added to support this
1019 functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
1020 compatibility on amd64.
1021
1022 The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
1023 amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
1024 for this feature.
1025
1026 This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
1027
1028 20111004:
1029 Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent
1030 patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
1031 apps to work under the linuxolator again.
1032
1033 20111001:
1034 Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is
1035 now default and an environment variable must be set to use
1036 active.
1037
1038 20110930:
1039 Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
1040 USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
1041
1042 Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
1043 Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
1044 when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
1045 offloading.
1046
1047 Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
1048 working with large raid3 sets.
1049
1050 Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
1051
1052 20110929:
1053 Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
1054
1055 The following modules are no longer available, and should be
1056 removed from loader.conf:
1057 ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
1058
1059 alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
1060 required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
1061 a connection could be established. Disable hibernation.
1062
1063 20110928:
1064 Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
1065 files that are corrupted.
1066
1067 Fix path validation with unix domain sockets.
1068
1069 20110917:

1079 20110806:
1080 sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
1081
1082 msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides
1083 a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used
1084 to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
1085 index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
1086 /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable
1087 space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
1088
1089 Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
1090 versions. This will be obsolete with mport though.
1091
1092 20110710:
1093 kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
1094 know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
1095
1096 Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
1097
1098 20110709:
1099 cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
1100 with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
1101
1102 20110612:
1103 Update mksh to R40
1104
1105 Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when
1106 updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
1107
1108 20110528:
1109 Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers.
1110
1111 20110526:
1112 newfs:
1113 Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
1114 16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
1115
1116 This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
1117 hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
1118 have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course
1119 the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
1120
1121 20110521:
1122 mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove
1123 all packages from a system.
1124
1125 A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
1126
1127 20110518:
1128 Perl 5.14.0
1129

1135
1136 cdevpriv wrappers added
1137
1138 nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
1139
1140 dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.
1141
1142 20110308:
1143 Introduce liblzma & xz 5.0.1 to the base system
1144

1162 20110216:
1163 Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between
1164 igb(4) and em(4). Newer devices use igb(4). The code has moved
1165 to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has
1166 been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64.
1167

1208 20101130:
1209 A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
1210 processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
1211 numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
1212
1213 20101120:
1214 Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
1215 systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
1216 to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
1217 our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
1218 which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
1219
1220 newfs and growfs was also modified.
1221
1222 20101110:
1223 Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
1224 context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file
1225 systems such as procfs for instance.
1226
1227 20101021:
1228 sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
1229 This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
1230 written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
1231
1232 20100920:
1233 bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
1234
1235 20100905:
1236 MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created. Aggressive development continues here
1237 for 0.4.
1238
1239 20100902:
1240 Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
1241 login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
1242 the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
1243
1244 20100822:
1245 Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
1246
1247 20100814:
1248 libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in
1249 Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is
1250 licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
1251 it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
1252 may not like.
1253
1254 20100713:
1255 mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.

1315 Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
1316
1317 posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and
1318 install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
1319 older current systems.
1320
1321 kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
1322
1323 20100106:
1324 Bind security update. Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
1325 cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
1326
1327 Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
1328
1329 20091228:
1330 amdtemp(4) was added. It allows one to monitor to the temperature
1331 of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
1332
1333 20091205:
1334 OpenSSL security fix
1335

1353
1354 20091010:
1355 amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
1356 to test current.
1357
1358 Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos
1359 on amd64 systems.
1360
1361 20091006:
1362 Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
1363 Argentina changes.
1364
1365 Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
1366 sbin and usr.sbin.
1367
1368 20090919:
1369 Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
1370
1371 20090729:
1372 Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
1373 can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
1374
1375 20090606:
1376 Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work
1377 as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
1378 in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck
1379 with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
1380
1381 I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
1382 fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
1383 system which makes no sense.
1384
1385 A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
1386 the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support
1387 but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on
1388 an external device.
1389
1390 20090520:
1391 The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
1392 compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new
1393 installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
1394 makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
1395 out my new Phenom too.
1396
1397 20090502:
1398 OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
1399
1400 ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
1401
1402 20090501:
1403 Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
1404
1405 20090422:
1406 OpenSSL security update
1407
1408 The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
1409 of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
1410
1411 20090415:
1412 Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
1413
1414 Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
1415
1416 Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
1417 tools to fail.
1418
1419 20090405:
1420 xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
1421 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
1422 add
1423 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
1424 to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
1425 kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
1426
1427 20090403:
1428 mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
1429 buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back
1430 for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
1431 MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
1432 but we may change this later. This will allow further
1433 testing by users and developers of mksh without
1434 causing an unpleasant default experience. In the
1435 long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
1436
1437 20090328:
1438 Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
1439 and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
1440 as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with
1441 ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
1442 as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
1443 an optional build parameter.
1444
1445 ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
1446 the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
1447
1448 Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
1449 default for login and profile.
1450
1451 20090327:
1452 Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
1453
1454 Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
1455 to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
1456 on mports.
1457
1458 20090325:
1459 Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
1460
1461 Update mksh to R36b

1464
1465 Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
1466
1467 20090115:
1468 Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
1469
1470 20090110:
1471 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
1472 certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be
1473 used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
1474
1475 Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
1476 affected.
1477
1478 Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
1479
1480 20090104:
1481 Import GNU libreadline 5.2

1488 properly initialized.
1489
1490 Happy 2009.
1491
1492 20081206:
1493 Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
1494 we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was
1495 changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
1496 using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
1497
1498 The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider
1499 i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
1500
1501 mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
1502
1503 batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and
1504 runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output
1505 shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
1506 percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
1507 -c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more.
1508
1509 20081204:
1510 Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
1511 new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
1512 support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
1513 openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
1514 intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
1515
1516 Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
1517 data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means
1518 testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
1519 and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
1520 sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
1521
1522 20080905:
1523 update nve(4) to support new hardware.
1524
1525 20080801:

1527
1528 Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
1529
1530 etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
1531
1532 Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
1533
1534 The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
1535
1536 20080703:
1537 pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
1538 or posibly jails.
1539
1540 20080627:
1541 Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.

1550
1551 20080528:
1552 Sendmail 8.14.3
1553
1554 20080516:
1555 ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
1556 were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
1557 few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
1558 option.
1559
1560 The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
1561
1562 20080514:
1563 Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
1564 to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
1565 by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
1566 install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
1567 GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
1568
1569 System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
1570 on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
1571
1572 20080430:
1573 __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
1574 to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
1575
1576 20080429:
1577 Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
1578

1624 which corrects building in tinderbox on all three platforms.
1625
1626 Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
1627 thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
1628
1629 Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
1630 I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
1631 My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
1632
1633 20080306:
1634 Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
1635 Developers can now use it to check src builds.
1636
1637 20080303:
1638 Add mksh to /etc/shells, made some adjustments to options

1663 so multiple servers are used.
1664
1665 Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.
1666
1667 20080121:
1668 Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
1669 according to a VM present. VMWare and Parallels
1670 should work better like this.
1671
1672 Change to full x11 install in sysinstall. Add
1673 xorg 7 support.
1674
1675 20080115:

1697 written to stdout.
1698
1699 20070831:
1700 Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
1701 mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
1702
1703 Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
1704 with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
1705 or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
1706 ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
1707 change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
1708 enabled by default.
1709
1710 20070814:
1711 Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
1712 for awhile.
1713
1714 20070806:
1715 Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
1716
1717 20070804:
1718 BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
1719
1720 We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
1721
1722 20070719:
1723 Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
1724
1725 20070716:
1726 Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
1727
1728 20070410:
1729 cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
1730 cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
1731 most of their local changes.
1732
1733 20070409:
1734 RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
1735 continue here.
1736
1737 20070406:
1738 Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
1739 with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
1740 curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
1741 multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
1742 work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
1743 patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
1744
1745 It is more important to have a stable system for our
1746 mport work and other projects at this time.
1747
1748 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
1749 have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
1750 or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
1751 make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
1752 of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
1753 /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
1754 your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
1755 mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
1756 chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
1757 them.
1758
1759 You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
1760 this from libc.
1761
1762 You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
1763 installed.
1764
1765 20070401:
1766 Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
1767 provide us with much greater security and stability in the
1768 long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
1769 follow the these instructions:
1770
1771 cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
1772 cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
1773 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
1774 cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
1775 buildworld and kernel
1776
1777 It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
1778 prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
1779 or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
1780 and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
1781 fix.
1782
1783 20070314:
1784 Remove send-pr from src.
1785
1786 Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
1787
1788 Bump MBSD minor revision.
1789
1790 20070313:
1791 Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
1792
1793 Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
1794
1795 Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
1796 the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
1797
1798 20070312:
1799 Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
1800 BSD Daemon files from src/share.
1801
1802 20070308:
1803 Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
1804 the Dell perc5i.
1805
1806 20070206:
1807 Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
1808 /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
1809
1810 Those who install from a snapshot after this date
1811 will not be effected.
1812
1813 20070119:
1814 Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
1815 before installing world.
1816
1817 hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
1818
1819 An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
1820 unbreak world.
1821
1822 wpa_supplicant was updated.
1823
1824 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
1825 sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
1826 fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
1827 2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
1828 will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
1829
1830 20061231:
1831 Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
1832
1833 Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
1834
1835 Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
1836 synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
1837 to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
1838 Feb 26, 2006.
1839
1840 Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
1841 dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
1842 /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
1843
1844 Numerous man page and bug fixes.
1845
1846 20061226:
1847 Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
1848 MidnightBSD CVSup server.
1849
1850 Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
1851 erasing CDRW media.
1852
1853 Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
1854 in C.
1855
1856 Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
1857
1858 Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
1859 geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
1860
1861 20061225:
1862 Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
1863 that caused long double to long and long long
1864 conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
1865
1866 20061221:
1867 Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
1868 batteries are present.
1869
1870 Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
1871 RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
1872
1873 Corrected a bug with TTY.
1874
1875 20061218:
1876 Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
1877 threads don't get scheduled.
1878
1879 20061206:
1880 Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
1881
1882 20061129:
1883 Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
1884
1885 Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
1886 FreeBSD.
1887
1888 20061031:
1889 Updated man pages in section 7.
1890
1891 20061030:
1892 Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
1893 r300 cards properly.
1894
1895 Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
1896
1897 Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
1898
1899 20061027:
1900 Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
1901 random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
1902 to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
1903 commited.
1904
1905 lukemftpd updated.
1906
1907 openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
1908 seeding.
1909
1910 20061014:
1911 Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
1912
1913 Started removal of alpha support.
1914
1915 20061013:
1916 ATA driver was updated. USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
1917
1918 20061010:
1919 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
1920
1921 20060909:
1922 OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
1923 the old ntpd daemon.
1924
1925 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
1926 on a per line basis.
1927
1928 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
1929 keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
1930 improved with this patch.
1931
1932 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
1933 increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
1934
1935 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
1936
1937 Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
1938
1939 20060817:
1940 ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
1941 the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
1942
1943
1944
1945 To build a kernel
1946 -----------------
1947 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
1948 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
1949 /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
1950 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1951 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1952
1953 To test a kernel once
1954 ---------------------
1955 If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
1956 if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
1957 debugging information) run
1958 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
1959 nextboot -k testkernel
1960
1961 To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1962 --------------------------------------------------------------
1963 This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
1964 ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1965 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
1966
1967 cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
1968 config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1969 cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1970 make depend
1971 make
1972 make install
1973
1974 If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
1975
1976 To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
1977 -----------------------------------------------------------
1978 # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
1979 # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
1980
1981 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1982 make buildworld
1983 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1984 [1]
1985 <reboot in single user> [3]
1986 mergemaster -p [5]
1987 make installworld
1988 make delete-old
1989 mergemaster [4]
1990 <reboot>
1991
1992
1993 To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1994 --------------------------------------------------
1995 # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1996 # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
1997 # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
1998 # size.
1999
2000 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
2001 <boot into -stable>
2002 make buildworld
2003 make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
2004 <maybe newfs current's root partition>
2005 <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
2006 make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
2007 cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
2008 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
2009 cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
2010 <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
2011 <reboot into current>
2012 <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
2013 <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
2014 <reboot>
2015
2016
2017 To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
2018 -----------------------------------------------------------
2019 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
2020 make buildworld [9]
2021 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
2022 [1]
2023 <reboot in single user> [3]
2024 mergemaster -p [5]
2025 make installworld
2026 make delete-old
2027 mergemaster -i [4]
2028 <reboot>
2029
2030 Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
2031 tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
2032 cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
2033 to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
2034 the UPDATING entries.
2035
2036 Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
2037 freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
2038 your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
2039 messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
2040 much fewer pitfalls.
2041
2042 [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
2043 should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
2044 system on reboot.
2045
2046 [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
2047 fsck -p
2048 mount -u /
2049 mount -a
2050 cd src
2051 adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
2052 Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
2053 you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
2054
2055 [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
2056 can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
2057 system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
2058 that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2059 as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
2060 for potential gotchas.
2061
2062 [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
2063 you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
2064 step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
2065
2066 [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
2067 needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2068 option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
2069 that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2070 is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
2071
2072 Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
2073 last time you updated your kernel config file.
2074
2075 [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
2076 cvs prune empty directories.
2077
2078 If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2079 "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2080 override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2081
2082 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2083 not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
2084 warn if it is improperly defined.
