<h2>Introduction</h2> |
68 |
< |
|
69 |
< |
<p style="text-indent: 3em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">MidnightBSD |
70 |
< |
is a desktop operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium® and Athlon™), |
71 |
< |
and soon amd64 compatible (including Opteron™, Athlon™64, and EM64T) |
72 |
< |
architectures. It was originally based on <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</a> |
73 |
< |
6.1 Beta. The goal of the project is to create a BSD with ease of use and simplicity in mind.</p> |
74 |
< |
|
75 |
< |
<h3>MidnightBSD 0.1-RELEASE</h3> |
76 |
< |
|
77 |
< |
<p> |
78 |
< |
<strong>August 6, 2007</strong> |
79 |
< |
MidnightBSD 0.1-RELEASE is now available. It includes several software packages |
80 |
< |
such as ksh, sudo, OpenNTPD, gcc 3.4.4, BIND 9.3.4 (plus patch) and others in |
81 |
< |
the base system. Disc 1 ISO includes the entire Operating System and X11 (xorg 6.9) |
82 |
< |
packages. Disc 2 ISO includes a selection of additional packages such as |
83 |
< |
GNUstep, bash 3, zsh, and cups-base. There are additional packages on our FTP |
84 |
< |
server. More will be added in a few days. Only disc 1 is required for installation. |
85 |
< |
This release is intended for enthusiests, developers and people interested in |
86 |
< |
new operating systems that can handle bugs. The core OS is stable, but many |
87 |
< |
elements such as ports are in flux. |

<h4>0.1-RELEASE Errata</h4> |
96 |
< |
<pre> |
97 |
< |
Installation issues |
98 |
< |
|
99 |
< |
projectcenter.app package is missing dependancies on disc2. |
100 |
< |
mutt package is missing urlview dependancy on disc2. |
101 |
< |
|
102 |
< |
GNUstep package includes gdnc which is missing libgcc_s.so.1. |
103 |
< |
|
104 |
< |
bash 3 and gmake missing libintl.so.6. This can be fixed by uninstalling gettext |
105 |
< |
and building it from the port. A new package was placed on the FTP server. |
106 |
< |
|
107 |
< |
System issues |
108 |
< |
|
109 |
< |
CVSUP example for updating src fetches CURRENT instead of RELENG_0_1 |
110 |
< |
|
111 |
< |
The new mports system was not included in the RELEASE. Many ports work in |
112 |
< |
mports that do not work in the old system. It is suggested that you update |
113 |
< |
your source using RELENG_0_1 and download the latest mports using CVS or CVSup. |
114 |
< |
|
115 |
< |
Using Virtual PC for Windows: |
116 |
< |
If you install MidnightBSD in VPC, you will need to set hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" |
117 |
< |
in /boot/device.hints This will help with the "calcru: negative runtime of" issue. |
118 |
< |
|
119 |
< |
August 11, 2007: |
120 |
< |
The pkg_install tools found in src/usr.sbin/pkg_install were not updated for |
121 |
< |
mports. This has been corrected. You should be able to cvs update that directory |
122 |
< |
and run make install and get the new versions of pkg_add, pkg_delete, and so on. |

<h3>Security</h3> |
191 |
< |
|
192 |
< |
<p>August 1, 2007<br /> |
193 |
< |
BIND and Tcpdump were patched in 0.2 and 0.1 for recent security issues. BIND is now equivalent to 9.3.4p1. |
194 |
< |
</p> |
195 |
< |
|
196 |
< |
<p>May 2, 2007<br /> |
197 |
< |
CURRENT and STABLE both have the patch for ipv6 type 0 routing headers. The problem is that ipv6 routing headers could be run over the same link multiple times. |
198 |
< |
</p> |
199 |
< |
<p>March 10, 2007<br /> |
200 |
< |
While many of the DST changes were imported last year, we decided to cover all cases and import |
201 |
< |
the latest tzdata2007c. Users concerned about DST changes should update their sources |
202 |
< |
and rebuild. The java ports may not have DST changes in place. We will review that issue. |
203 |
< |
</p> |
204 |
< |
<p>Jaunary 23, 2007<br /> |
205 |
< |
A "symlink" exploit was found in the MidnightBSD jail system. A fix was made available. Please |
206 |
< |
update your /etc/rc.d/jail file from cvs. Patches will not be created until our first release. |
