| 3 | This file is maintained and copyrighted by M. Warner Losh |
| 4 | <imp@village.org>. See end of file for further details. For commonly |
| 5 | done items, please see the COMMON ITEMS: section later in the file. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | A reverse chronology since 4.0 was released is included, followed by |
| 8 | the common items quick how-tos, followed by entries for versions of |
| 9 | -current prior to 4.0 Release. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | |
| 12 | 20030403: |
| 13 | FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | 20030214: |
| 16 | OpenSSL 0.97 has been imported, and the libcrypto/libssl |
| 17 | library versions have been bumped. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 20030213: |
| 20 | sendmail 8.12.7 has been imported. It has one important |
| 21 | change for IPv6 users. The default submit.mc now uses |
| 22 | '[127.0.0.1]' instead of 'localhost' meaning only IPv4 is |
| 23 | used to connect to the MTA. Users on IPv6-only machines |
| 24 | will need to edit /etc/mail/submit.mc appropriately. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | 20021110: |
| 27 | The definitions of the standard file streams (stdin, stdout, and |
| 28 | stderr) have changed so that they are no longer compile-time |
| 29 | constants. Some older binaries may require updated 3.X |
| 30 | compatability libraries (for example, by setting COMPAT3X=yes |
| 31 | for a buildworld/installworld). |
| 32 | |
| 33 | 20021010: |
| 34 | FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | 20020807: |
| 37 | COPY is being deprecated. The 20020703 change was reverted, as |
| 38 | it causes far more pain than was expected, and to always compare |
| 39 | before installing, please use INSTALL="install -C" again. The |
| 40 | -C option is now silently ignored when used with the -d option. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | 20020704: |
| 43 | OpenSSH has been upgraded to 3.4p1 and fully PAMified. Note |
| 44 | that the protocol version now defaults to 2 rather than 1, |
| 45 | which means clients might get warnings about unknown host keys |
| 46 | their hostfiles only list the ssh1 RSA key. See ssh_config(5) |
| 47 | and sshd_config(5) for more information on configuring ssh and |
| 48 | sshd. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | 20020703: |
| 51 | The install(1) utility no longer allows the -d and -C options |
| 52 | to be specified together. "INSTALL=install -C" in make.conf |
| 53 | should be replaced with "COPY=-C". |
| 54 | |
| 55 | 20020615: |
| 56 | FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | 20020515: |
| 59 | The k5su utility installed as part of Kerberos 5 is no longer |
| 60 | installed with the set-user-ID bit set by default. Add |
| 61 | ENABLE_SUID_K5SU=yes to /etc/make.conf to have it installed |
| 62 | with the set-user-ID bit set. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | 20020501: |
| 65 | The ephemeral port range change that was previously mentioned |
| 66 | in this document has been reverted, so any changes it required |
| 67 | to your system may be reverted as well. Those who missed the |
| 68 | change should ignore this notice. |
| 69 | |
| 70 | 20020421: |
| 71 | inetd_enable was changed back to YES, to match the defaults |
| 72 | earlier in the 4.0-stable branch. This change restores the |
| 73 | daemons that were enabled prior to April 15th. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | When exec'ing set[ug]id executables, the kernel now ensures that the |
| 76 | stdio file descriptors (0..2) are open. See FreeBSD-SA-02:23.stdio. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | 20020420: |
| 79 | sendmail_enable was changed back to YES, to match the |
| 80 | defaults earlier in the 4.0-stable branch. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | 20020415: |
| 83 | Many denizens of /etc were MFC'ed. While most of the changes |
| 84 | are very benign, some of them have created a bit of a stir. |
| 85 | Use the new version of mergemaster to update /etc, either by |
| 86 | updating /etc after installworld, or by doing: |
| 87 | cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster; make -m /usr/src/share/mk all install |
| 88 | before you run installworld. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | Then use the new -C option to double-check your rc.conf settings. |
| 91 | You should also double-check settings in [defaults/]rc.conf, |
| 92 | syslog.conf, newsyslog.conf, and anything else important |
| 93 | to your system. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | The two most important changes to note: sendmail and inetd were |
| 96 | turned off by default. If you need them, please turn them back |
| 97 | on by adding sendmail_enable=YES and/or inetd_enable=YES to |
| 98 | /etc/rc.conf. |
| 99 | |
| 100 | 20020411: |
| 101 | New sendmail startup scripts have been installed to make it |
| 102 | easier to use alternative MTAs with FreeBSD. The rc.conf |
| 103 | variable mta_start_script can be set to a script for starting |
| 104 | an alternative MTA or to "" to prevent any MTA from being |
| 105 | started at boot. |
| 106 | |
| 107 | 20020404: |
| 108 | The sendmail startup code in /etc/rc has been changed to deal |
| 109 | with a non-set-user-ID sendmail binary. Setting the rc.conf |
| 110 | variable sendmail_enable to "NO" no longer prevents any sendmail |
| 111 | daemons from starting. Instead, set sendmail_enable to "NONE" |
| 112 | to prevent any MTA from being started at boot. |
| 113 | |
| 114 | 20020404: |
| 115 | Due to the import of sendmail 8.12.2 (see 20020325 entry), a new |
| 116 | user and group are required in order for sendmail to run as a |
| 117 | set-group-ID binary. A 'make installworld' will use the new user |
| 118 | and group to set the owner and group of /var/spool/clientmqueue |
| 119 | and will fail if the new user and group do not exist. The 'smmsp' |
| 120 | user and group must be merged from src/etc/group and |
| 121 | src/etc/master.passwd before using 'make installworld'. |
| 122 | 'mergemaster -p' will do this. You may need to install |
| 123 | mergemaster before this will work if you are updating from a |
| 124 | very old version of stable. This can be done with: |
| 125 | cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster; make -m /usr/src/share/mk all install |
| 126 | |
| 127 | 20020325: |
| 128 | sendmail 8.12.2 has been imported. The sendmail binary is no |
| 129 | longer a set-user-ID root binary and the infrastructure to support |
| 130 | command line mail submission has changed. Be sure to run |
| 131 | mergemaster (especially for updating /etc/rc, /etc/defaults/rc.conf, |
| 132 | and /etc/mail) and read /etc/mail/README for more details. |
| 133 | |
| 134 | 20020318: |
| 135 | The ata(4) driver has been updated from the version in -CURRENT. |
| 136 | As a result, some device nodes in /dev have changed; it will be |
| 137 | necessary to update MAKEDEV and re-make the device nodes. |
| 138 | mergemaster(8) will offer to do this as a part of its upgrade |
| 139 | procedure. |
| 140 | |
| 141 | 20020129: |
| 142 | FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE. |
| 143 | |
| 144 | 20020105: |
| 145 | The locale names have been renamed in -stable to match |
| 146 | -current: |
| 147 | 1. ISO_* -> ISO* |
| 148 | 2. ru_SU* -> ru_RU* |
| 149 | 3. DIS_* -> ISO*-15 |
| 150 | 4. *.ASCII -> *.US-ASCII |
| 151 | |
| 152 | 20011202: |
| 153 | A security hole in OpenSSH involving `UseLogin yes' has been |
| 154 | patched. |
| 155 | |
| 156 | 20011110: |
| 157 | Some linux module changes, merged from current, require that you |
| 158 | clean out the old compile directory. If you are building with |
| 159 | MODULES_WITH_WORLD=yes, then you need to cd to src/sys/modules/linux |
| 160 | and run "make cleandir". If not, then you need to cd |
| 161 | src/sys/compile/$KERNCONF and do a make modules-clean. |
| 162 | |
| 163 | 20011102: |
| 164 | ipfw/bridge/dummynet features merged from current. |
| 165 | |
| 166 | 20011018: |
| 167 | The kernel Makefile was enhanced to pass -g to modules builds |
| 168 | when it is used for kernel building (eg, when the config file |
| 169 | has DEBUG=-g). People that have enabled debugging kernels |
| 170 | will find they need significantly more disk space in their |
| 171 | slash (/) partition. |
| 172 | |
| 173 | 20010928: |
| 174 | The OpenSSH `ChallengeResponseAuthentication' option now |
| 175 | defaults to `yes'. This enables S/Key authentication, which |
| 176 | can result in users receiving an S/Key challenge when logging |
| 177 | in interactively. To disable this behavior, add a line to |
| 178 | your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file: |
| 179 | `ChallengeResponseAuthentication no' |
| 180 | |
| 181 | 20010914: |
| 182 | 4.4 Released. |
| 183 | |
| 184 | 20010814: |
| 185 | The pci attachment for pcic device was merged from current. You |
| 186 | should update your pccardd at the same time as you update your |
| 187 | kernel. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | Note: Interrupts will now be shared between the CardBus bridge |
| 190 | and the cards. This is a change over the hand configuration |
| 191 | before. |
| 192 | |
| 193 | 20010811: |
| 194 | isdn4bsd was updated to version 1.00.1. for users of the isp<N> |
| 195 | (kernel PPP over ISDN) devices, this means that they now _must_ |
| 196 | use ispppcontrol instead of spppcontrol to configure and control |
| 197 | their isp<N> devices. see /usr/share/examples/isdn for more info. |
| 198 | |
| 199 | 20010725: |
| 200 | The ed driver has been updated. It now allows mii attachments, |
| 201 | which means that you must include the miibus in your kernel if |
| 202 | you use the ed driver. |
| 203 | |
| 204 | 20010724: |
| 205 | The gif(4) interface has been converted to use cloning |
| 206 | rather then allocating a static number of devices a compile |
| 207 | time. If you use gif interfaces and configure them by any |
| 208 | method other then setting standard variables in /etc/rc.conf |
| 209 | you will need to update your system to create devices with |
| 210 | "ifconfig gifX create" before attempting to configure them. |
| 211 | |
| 212 | See the ifconfig(8) man page and /etc/rc.network for more |
| 213 | information. |
| 214 | |
| 215 | 20010611: |
| 216 | The TCP_RESTRICT_RST option has been removed. You should entirely |
| 217 | remove it from your kernel configuration. |
| 218 | |
| 219 | The same functionality is available from the blackhole(4) MIB. |
| 220 | |
| 221 | 20010531: |
| 222 | The wd compat devices were removed from the ata driver. Kernels |
| 223 | after this date will fail to work with /dev/ nodes that you may |
| 224 | have on your disk. /etc/fstab is a common place to find these |
| 225 | files hanging out, as are dump devices in /etc/rc.conf. |
| 226 | |
| 227 | 20010521: |
| 228 | Minor repo damange has happened. This may cause problems |
| 229 | with cvsup of ports. If you get errors, please see |
| 230 | http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=27495 |
| 231 | at the bottom for details on a workaround. The error message |
| 232 | is |
| 233 | Updater failed: Cannot delete "/usr/ports/www/jakarta-tomcat/files": Directory not empty |
| 234 | |
| 235 | 20010516: |
| 236 | Size changes in the cred structures introduced a binary |
| 237 | incompatibility for modules using the crhold() macro. Modules |
| 238 | should be recompiled for kernel later than this date. |
| 239 | |
| 240 | 20010510: |
| 241 | The fxp driver from current has been ported to -stable. This |
| 242 | requires kernels that include fxp to also include mii bus devices. |
| 243 | See GENERIC for details. |
| 244 | |
| 245 | 20010421: |
| 246 | FreeBSD 4.3 RELEASE |
| 247 | |
| 248 | 20010402: |
| 249 | It appears that PERL_THREADED=true in /etc/make.conf is not |
| 250 | compatible with mod_perl. Not sure the exact date of this problem, |
| 251 | but it post dates 4.2 and predates 4.3. |
| 252 | |
| 253 | 20010202: |
| 254 | The KERNEL variable for buildkernel and installkernel has been |
| 255 | deprecated in favor of KERNCONF. make kernel now combines these |
| 256 | two steps. |
| 257 | |
| 258 | 20010117: |
| 259 | Linksys Fast Ethernet PCCARD cards supported by the ed driver |
| 260 | now require the addition of flag 0x80000 to their config line |
| 261 | in pccard.conf(5). This flag is not optional. These Linksys |
| 262 | cards will not be recognized without it. |
| 263 | |
| 264 | 20010112: |
| 265 | Important new FreeBSD-version stuff: PAM support has been worked |
| 266 | in, partially from the "Unix" OpenSSH version. This requires |
| 267 | adding the following in pam.conf: |
| 268 | |
| 269 | sshd auth sufficient pam_skey.so |
| 270 | sshd auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass |
| 271 | sshd session required pam_permit.so |
| 272 | |
| 273 | 20010109: |
| 274 | ipfw interface changed. Make sure that the userland and kernel match |
| 275 | or you won't have the firewall rules you think you do. |
| 276 | |
| 277 | 20001120: |
| 278 | FreeBSD 4.2 RELEASE. |
| 279 | |
| 280 | 20001020: |
| 281 | ****************************** WARNING ****************************** |
| 282 | Sendmail has been updated. |
| 283 | ****************************** WARNING ****************************** |
| 284 | o mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary. |
| 285 | o sendmail(8) is now built with STARTTLS support unless NO_OPENSSL |
| 286 | is set. |
| 287 | o The default /etc/mail/sendmail.cf disables the SMTP EXPN and VRFY |
| 288 | commands. |
| 289 | o Now using sendmail's version of vacation(1). |
| 290 | o The sendmail cf building tools (contrib/sendmail/cf) are installed |
| 291 | in /usr/share/sendmail/cf. |
| 292 | o sendmail.cw changed to local-host-names |
| 293 | |
| 294 | More details can be found at |
| 295 | http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/UPDATING/sendmail-20001010 |
| 296 | |
| 297 | 20001009: |
| 298 | The ports tree's new layout is in place. Be sure to update |
| 299 | your entire ports tree, or you will have problems. |
| 300 | |
| 301 | 20001006: |
| 302 | The perl build procedure no longer installs miniperl, nor uses |
| 303 | the installed miniperl. It is recommended that you delete |
| 304 | /usr/bin/miniperl. |
| 305 | |
| 306 | 20000925: |
| 307 | FreeBSD 4.1.1 RELEASE. |
| 308 | |
| 309 | 20000907: |
| 310 | Changes to libkvm requires a recompile of the usual suspects. |
| 311 | (find /usr/src -name Makefile | xargs egrep -l LIBKVM) |
| 312 | This means that your world must match your kernel around this |
| 313 | point. |
| 314 | |
| 315 | 20000904: |
| 316 | A new issue with the sendmail upgrade has come to light. |
| 317 | /etc/aliases has moved to /etc/mail/aliases. Mergemaster will |
| 318 | incorrectly install the default aliases in /etc/mail rather than |
| 319 | move the old one from /etc. So you'll need to manually move the |
| 320 | file, create a symbolic link, remove the old /etc/aliases.db and |
| 321 | run newaliases. For safety sake, you should stop sendmail |
| 322 | while doing this and run the upgrade when locally sourced email |
| 323 | is not likely to be generated. |
| 324 | |
| 325 | 20000827: |
| 326 | sendmail has been updated from 8.9.3 to 8.11.0. Some of the more |
| 327 | visible changes that may immediately affect your configuration |
| 328 | include: |
| 329 | - New default file locations from src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README |
| 330 | - newaliases limited to root and trusted users |
| 331 | - MSA port (587) turned on by default |
| 332 | - New queue file naming system so can't go from 8.11 -> 8.9 |
| 333 | - FEATURE(`rbl') renamed to FEATURE(`dnsbl') |
| 334 | - FEATURE(`nullclient') is more full featured |
| 335 | - FEATURE(`nouucp') requires an argument: `reject' or `nospecial' |
| 336 | - mail.local FreeBSD-only -b option changed to -B |
| 337 | - See src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for more info |
| 338 | |
| 339 | 20000803: |
| 340 | The "installkernel" target has changed slightly. Now even if |
| 341 | you override KERNEL e.g. 'make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL' |
| 342 | it will install the MYKERNEL file (built with the buildkernel |
| 343 | target) as /kernel rather than /MYKERNEL. Those who have |
| 344 | updated their /boot/loader.conf files to point to /MYKERNEL |
| 345 | should remove that entry or perform manual rename of /kernel |
| 346 | to /MYKERNEL. |
| 347 | |
| 348 | 20000724: |
| 349 | FreeBSD 4.1 RELEASE |
| 350 | |
| 351 | 20000711: |
| 352 | If you use CVSUP or CTM to get CVS trees, AND you used to get |
| 353 | the old crypto files from internat.freebsd.org AND you check |
| 354 | out files from the CVS tree with the cvs command, please read |
| 355 | http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/internat.txt |
| 356 | for details on potential problems that you might have and how |
| 357 | to get around them. |
| 358 | |
| 359 | If you are merely a mirror, or don't answer yes to each of the |
| 360 | clauses above, you needn't worry. |
| 361 | |
| 362 | 20000707: |
| 363 | We started building modules here. IF you don't wish to |
| 364 | follow the documented procedure for building kernels, then |
| 365 | you'll have to install new mk files from src/share/mk, or |
| 366 | define NO_MODULES. |
| 367 | |
| 368 | 20000706: |
| 369 | Binutils were updated. In order to build a kernel after this |
| 370 | date, you must follow the updating procedure for building |
| 371 | kernels exactly as presented here. You may be able to get away |
| 372 | with doing it the old way, but if it breaks, make sure that you've |
| 373 | tried the "To build a kernel" section with a fresh /usr/obj |
| 374 | first. |
| 375 | |
| 376 | 20000622: |
| 377 | The license on the softupdates is now a standard 2 clause |
| 378 | BSD license. You may need to remove your symbolic links |
| 379 | that used to be required when updating. |
| 380 | |
| 381 | 20000501: |
| 382 | At approximately this date, an incompatible kernel change |
| 383 | was made which means that if you update kernels accross |
| 384 | this boundary, you also have to update modules, and vice |
| 385 | versa. |
| 386 | |
| 387 | 20000315: |
| 388 | FreeBSD 4.0 RELEASE. Historical entries follow the common |
| 389 | items. |
| 390 | |
| 391 | ****************************** 4.0 RELEASE ****************************** |
| 392 | |
| 393 | COMMON ITEMS: |
| 394 | |
| 395 | To build a kernel |
| 396 | ----------------- |
| 397 | cd /usr/src |
| 398 | # If you have not already done so, please buildworld here |
| 399 | # You will also need to update your config file to 4.x. Usually |
| 400 | # people tend to start with GENERIC from 4.x and hack from there. |
| 401 | make buildkernel KERNCONF=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE> |
| 402 | make installkernel KERNCONF=<YOUR_KERNEL_HERE> |
| 403 | # Verify that the new kernel works, it will be installed as |
| 404 | # /kernel |
| 405 | |
| 406 | To rebuild disk /dev entries |
| 407 | ---------------------------- |
| 408 | MAKEDEV should be copied from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev before |
| 409 | starting the following: |
| 410 | |
| 411 | For N in the list of disks |
| 412 | MAKEDEV N # eg ad0 |
| 413 | for M in the list of slices |
| 414 | MAKEDEV NsMa # eg ad0s1a |
| 415 | |
| 416 | |
| 417 | To rebuild everything |
| 418 | --------------------- |
| 419 | make world |
| 420 | |
| 421 | Except when it doesn't work :-) |
| 422 | |
| 423 | To update from 3.x to 4.x stable |
| 424 | -------------------------------- |
| 425 | *********************************************************** |

| 446 | cd ../../../.. |
| 447 | ldconfig -R /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libc |
| 448 | make installworld -DNOPERL [5] |
| 449 | mergemaster [4] |
| 450 | reboot |
| 451 | <multi-user> |
| 452 | |
| 453 | [1] You may need to switch from wd to ad ala 19991210. In |
| 454 | addition, you should disable any third party modules such as |
| 455 | vmware so that you don't crash your system on reboot. |
| 456 | [2] If you have any of the following in your /etc/make.conf, |
| 457 | please comment them out before following these instructions |
| 458 | and then do a make buildworld + make installworld after you |
| 459 | are back to <multi-user> above: |
| 460 | MAKE_KERBEROS4 |
| 461 | [3] Update to 4.x-stable sources. Make sure that you get all |
| 462 | the parts. If you are using cvsup files that are older than a |
| 463 | couple of months, be sure they have all the components listed |
| 464 | in /usr/share/examples/cvsup. Crypto and secure are now |
| 465 | required. |
| 466 | [4] This step is not optional. If you fail to do this, you |
| 467 | will not have critical system config files updated for their |
| 468 | 4.x functionality. This will lead to reduced system |
| 469 | functionality, the biggest problem being with /etc/pam.conf |
| 470 | not having the entries necessary to allow remote ssh access. |
| 471 | [5] Note: This won't upgrade your perl install. You will |
| 472 | need to rebuild the world on 4.x to update perl. |
| 473 | [6] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do |
| 474 | fsck -p |
| 475 | mount -u / |
| 476 | mount -a |
| 477 | cd /usr/src |
| 478 | adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time |
| 479 | |
| 480 | To update from 4.0-RELEASE or later to the most current |
| 481 | 4.x-STABLE |
| 482 | ---------- |
| 483 | make buildworld |
| 484 | make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 485 | make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE |
| 486 | reboot (in single user) [1] |
| 487 | make installworld |
| 488 | mergemaster [2] |
| 489 | reboot |
| 490 | |
| 491 | [1] You can often get away without doing this step as the |
| 492 | system will be properly updated. During the running of the |
| 493 | installworld, however, system components may break and other |
| 494 | oddities may happen. Don't do this on systems that aren't |
| 495 | otherwise quiet as unpredictable results may happen. If in |
| 496 | doubt, reboot into single user. For remote installs, keep |
| 497 | a separate kernel around and use a serial console if at all |
| 498 | possible. See also note [6] above. |
| 499 | [2] If you do not run mergemaster, you will likely hit a |
| 500 | number of show stopper problems. The biggest one is that |
| 501 | your /etc/pam.conf won't let you log in using ssh. |
| 502 | |
| 503 | What follows are older entries for those people upgrading from earlier |
| 504 | versions of -stable/-current. |
| 505 | |
| 506 | 20000308: |
| 507 | The binary interface of perl to its modules changed. You |
| 508 | will need to recompile any perl moudles after an |
| 509 | installworld. This includes all ports matching the pattern |
| 510 | /usr/ports/*/p5-*. |
| 511 | |
| 512 | 20000303: |
| 513 | CMSG_XXX macros offset in <sys/socket.h> has changed to |
| 514 | conform RFC-2292. All affected applications have been |
| 515 | corrected. The i386 platform's offsets haven't changed, but |
| 516 | the alpha's did. When you build and install new kernel on |
| 517 | FreeBSD/alpha, you must also do a make world. |
| 518 | |
| 519 | 20000225: |
| 520 | OpenSSH has been added to FreeBSD. This may conflict with the |
| 521 | ports/security/ssh port since it installs binaries into |
| 522 | /usr/bin and the port goes into /usr/local/bin. Most paths |
| 523 | have /usr/bin in the path before /usr/local/bin, so problems |
| 524 | may arise. If you don't want OpenSSH, add NO_OPENSSH=yes to |
| 525 | your make.conf. |
| 526 | |
| 527 | You will also need to enable OpenSSH in /etc/rc.conf if you |
| 528 | want to run the new servers. You may need to move your host |
| 529 | key and other config files from /usr/local/etc to /etc/ssh. |
| 530 | |
| 531 | OpenSSH's command line parsing, available options and default |
| 532 | settings aren't the same as ssh, so some care needs to be |
| 533 | taken in its operation. One should do a full audit of all |
| 534 | configuration settings. |
| 535 | |
| 536 | 20000205: |
| 537 | The xinstall problem has kinda sorta been corrected. The |
| 538 | following is known to work by the author of UPDATING. It |
| 539 | is what he did to update his laptop. It is likely the same |
| 540 | effect as the work around listed in 20000129. |
| 541 | make buildworld |
| 542 | make installworld This will fail |
| 543 | cd usr.bin/xinstall |
| 544 | make clean all install NOSHARED=YES |
| 545 | cd ../.. |
| 546 | make installworld |
| 547 | If it doesn't work for you, then I'm sure that there will be |
| 548 | another 100 messages in -current. |
| 549 | |
| 550 | 20000204: |
| 551 | libipsec version number changed from 2 to 0. The original |
| 552 | commit of Jan 6 incorrectly set this to 2. Remove |
| 553 | /usr/lib/libipsec.so.2* before the buildworld and rebuild |
| 554 | anything that uses libipsec.so after you install the new |
| 555 | version. |
| 556 | |
| 557 | 20000201: |
| 558 | The rcmd related functions have been aligned with other BSD |
| 559 | implementations. rlogind and rshd have been changed to use |
| 560 | the new API. A make world is recommended to keep them in sync |
| 561 | with the libraries they use. |
| 562 | |
| 563 | http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/net/rcmd.c |
| 564 | has the details. |
| 565 | |
| 566 | 20000129: |
| 567 | {set,get}flags have been added to the tree for rather dubious |
| 568 | reasons. |
| 569 | |
| 570 | IF AND ONLY IF installworld fails: |
| 571 | make -k -DNOFSCHG installworld |
| 572 | make installworld |
| 573 | This issue was resolved Feb 5, 2000. |
| 574 | |
| 575 | 20000125: |
| 576 | rcmd_af() is added for multiple address family support. rsh |
| 577 | and rlogin have been updated to use this to support INET6. A |
| 578 | make world is recommended to keep them in sync with the |
| 579 | libraries they use. |
| 580 | |
| 581 | 20000124: |
| 582 | The default way that virtual tables in our default C++ |
| 583 | compiler has changed. We used to use THUNKS for virtual |
| 584 | inheritance. Unfortunately there are bugs that The GCC |
| 585 | developers thought would be fixed in GCC 2.95. However it |
| 586 | isn't. |
| 587 | |
| 588 | After this change existing applications written in C++ may |
| 589 | give errors like below when you try to run them: |
| 590 | |
| 591 | /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3: Undefined symbol "__vt_7filebuf" |
| 592 | |
| 593 | The only fix is to rebuild the application and any C++ |
| 594 | libraries used. |
| 595 | |
| 596 | 20000124: |
| 597 | The management of next_writeable has been move from the |
| 598 | kernel to userspace. This means that the burncd command |
| 599 | must be in sync with the kernel. So make world is your |
| 600 | friend. |
| 601 | |
| 602 | 20000117: |
| 603 | GNU texinfo upgraded to 4.0. It is recommended that you use |
| 604 | make buildworld to update. |
| 605 | |
| 606 | 20000117: |
| 607 | CAM_VERSION has been increased. Recompile all programs that |
| 608 | depend on it (tosha, camcontrol, etc) when moving to kernels |
| 609 | past this date. |
| 610 | |
| 611 | 20000115: |
| 612 | pccard ioctls changed with a commit to have the kernel tell |
| 613 | pccardd which device it created, rather than having pccardd |
| 614 | dictate it to the kernel. Recompile kernel and |
| 615 | pccardd/pccardc together. pccardd/pccardc rely on a kernel |
| 616 | Makefile that must be installed prior to building them. Make |
| 617 | world will automatically take care of this issue, but you need |
| 618 | to know if you are building by hand. |
| 619 | |
| 620 | 20000109: |
| 621 | Your kernel config files need to be changed to s/controller/device/ |
| 622 | in them. You will need a new version of config to do this. |
| 623 | |
| 624 | 20000107: |
| 625 | chown & chgrp moved again |
| 626 | |
| 627 | This is a heads up to let you know that you need to |
| 628 | rm -f /sbin/chown /bin/chgrp |
| 629 | after your next `make world'. Additionally you need to install |
| 630 | a new /dev/MAKEDEV (mergemaster(8) will assist you in this). |
| 631 | |
| 632 | 20000107: |
| 633 | SHA-1 password support gone |
| 634 | |
| 635 | As warned yesterday, I've just removed the ability for |
| 636 | libcrypt to understand SHA-1 passwords. This was present but |
| 637 | undocumented in the tree for the past few months and was |
| 638 | removed so it can be reimplemented properly as part of a |
| 639 | revamped libcrypt at a later date. Anyone who was actually |
| 640 | making use of the feature will have to update their passwords |
| 641 | back to MD5 before they reinstall the library. |
| 642 | |
| 643 | 20000106: |
| 644 | ioctl numbers changed for dvdio ioctls. You will need to recompile |
| 645 | anything that uses them. wormcontrol has been deprecated in |
| 646 | favor of burncd. |
| 647 | |
| 648 | 19991223: |
| 649 | Building linux and svr4 compatibility into the kernel now |
| 650 | requires /usr/bin/genassym. Go to /usr/src/usr.bin/genassym, |
| 651 | do "make obj ; make clean depend all install" before building |
| 652 | your kernel. |
| 653 | |
| 654 | 19991218: |
| 655 | sendmail.cf has moved from /etc/sendmail.cf to |
| 656 | /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. You may need to adjust /etc/rc.conf |
| 657 | and /etc/rc to cope as well as moving sendmail.cf. |
| 658 | |
| 659 | 19991216: |
| 660 | ntp 4.0.98 has replaced the ancient xntpd. The daemon name |
| 661 | changed from xntpd to ntpd, so you may need to update your |
| 662 | /etc/rc.conf file. The ntp.conf files are compatible with the |
| 663 | old release, unless you are using a local reference clock. |
| 664 | Details about ntp4 can be found at http://www.ntp.org/. |
| 665 | |
| 666 | xntpd will be cvs removed from the repo in about a week. |
| 667 | |
| 668 | 19991213: |
| 669 | Soren updated the ata driver. Please update to at least this |
| 670 | version before submitting bug reports. |
| 671 | |
| 672 | 19991210: |
| 673 | The ata driver has become the primary ata/ide/atapi driver in |
| 674 | the kernel. The wd driver is obsolete. You should upgrade your |
| 675 | machine to the new ata driver. You will need to follow the |
| 676 | directions for updating the devices in the 19991205 entry. You |
| 677 | will need to update all occurances of wd to ad in your config files |
| 678 | (/etc/rc.conf, /etc/fstab, etc). A compatibility device exists |
| 679 | for wd for the time being, but once you have determined that |
| 680 | ata is working for you, transition to the new ad devices. |
| 681 | |
| 682 | 19991205: |
| 683 | Block devices are going away. You will need to update your /dev |
| 684 | tree with a fresh copy of MAKEDEV for things to always work in |
| 685 | the future. fsck is unable to cope with dirty file systems |
| 686 | after this change, so it may work for you or it may not. |
| 687 | |
| 688 | See "To rebuild disk /dev entries" at the end of the file. |
| 689 | |
| 690 | *** All uses of block devices must be converted to char devices. |
| 691 | *** Likely the only thing impacted is dumpdev in /etc/rc.conf |
| 692 | |
| 693 | 19991204: |
| 694 | The dc interface has replaced al, ax, dm, pn and mx. The former |
| 695 | have been removed. |
| 696 | |
| 697 | 19991204: |
| 698 | Support for the old 'sd' device names has been removed in |
| 699 | favor of 'da'. Please update your /etc/fstab, /etc/rc.conf |
| 700 | and any other places you might have sd names cached. |
| 701 | Generally these changes are as simple as s=/dev/sd=/dev/da=g, |
| 702 | but be careful to make sure that things are really that |
| 703 | simple. You may also need to create /dev entries for the da |
| 704 | devices as well. |
| 705 | |
| 706 | See "To rebuild disk /dev entries" at the end of the file. |
| 707 | |
| 708 | 19991203: |
| 709 | BAD144 support has been removed. Cope or replace the hardware. |
| 710 | |
| 711 | 19991129: |
| 712 | ALPHA users take note. All klds will need to be recompiled for |
| 713 | kernels build after this date. It is a good time to update since |
| 714 | pal.s will be going away soon. |
| 715 | |
| 716 | 19991126: |
| 717 | MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE are gone, replaced by MD_ROOT and |
| 718 | MD_ROOT_SIZE options in the md driver. md driver now deals with |
| 719 | the hacks. You should add md driver to kerneles that have |
| 720 | MFS_ROOT, et al. See GENERIC or LINT for details. |
| 721 | |
| 722 | 19991125: |
| 723 | The ep changed a while ago and can no longer be used with hard |
| 724 | wired addresses in the config file. |
| 725 | |
| 726 | 19991122: |
| 727 | The bridge drivers for sound cards have been committed. Please |
| 728 | see LINT for instructions for your card, if it still works at |
| 729 | all. |
| 730 | |
| 731 | 19991113: |
| 732 | Gcc 2.95.2 is now the default compiler. |
| 733 | |
| 734 | 19991030: |
| 735 | /etc/radius.conf file format has changed.The format change is |
| 736 | as follows. Each server line in the file should now begin |
| 737 | with a new field containing either "auth" for RADIUS |
| 738 | authentication, or "acct" for RADIUS accounting. Formerly |
| 739 | only authentication was supported. If the first field isn't |
| 740 | "auth" or "acct" then the code assumes that "auth" is |
| 741 | intended. (That's the compatibility hack.) |
| 742 | |
| 743 | 19991015: |
| 744 | PCCARD has been updated to attach pcic to the isa bus. Therefore |
| 745 | you will need to modify kernel config files that have pcic/card |
| 746 | in them as follows: |
| 747 | controller pcic0 at isa? |
| 748 | controller pcic1 at isa? |
| 749 | controller card0 |
| 750 | |
| 751 | 19990929: |
| 752 | The sigset_t datatype has been changed from an integral type |
| 753 | to a compound type and can hold 128 signals. Syscalls directly |
| 754 | or indirectly using the new sigset_t have been added as to |
| 755 | maintain compatibility with existing binaries. A new kernel must |
| 756 | be made and installed and booted with before a make world can |
| 757 | be done. |
| 758 | |
| 759 | *************************************************************** |
| 760 | RECOMPILE AND REINSTALL KERNEL BEFORE MAKEWORLD |
| 761 | *************************************************************** |
| 762 | |
| 763 | 19990919: |
| 764 | New jail syscall format requires recompilation of jail(8) with |
| 765 | fresh headers installed (or a make world will do it for you). |
| 766 | |
| 767 | 19990914: |
| 768 | Matt Dillon checked in many vm related things and sent a heads up |
| 769 | to -current urging caution and to report vm problems to him. |
| 770 | As of the 19th, no killer problems have been reported, but you |
| 771 | have been warned. |
| 772 | |
| 773 | 19990908: |
| 774 | The new miibus has been added to the system. If you are using |
| 775 | the dm, rl, sf, sis, ste, tl, wb or xl drivers, you need to |
| 776 | add "controller miibus0" to your config file. |
| 777 | |
| 778 | 19990905: |
| 779 | /var/cron/log has been moved to /var/log/cron to get all the |
| 780 | log files in one place. |
| 781 | |
| 782 | 19990831: |
| 783 | tn3270 has been removed from the base system and added as a port. |
| 784 | |
| 785 | 19990830: |
| 786 | User-visible TCP timers are now expressed in units of 1ms, instead |
| 787 | of 500ms, so if you've customized any timer values under |
| 788 | ``net.inet.tcp'', multiply them by 500 to preserve TCP's behavior. |
| 789 | |
| 790 | 19990828: |
| 791 | RCS Id tags changed to FreeBSD. This will cause huge cvsup |
| 792 | updates. |
| 793 | |
| 794 | 19990821: |
| 795 | On 28-May-1999 libreadline was upgraded from readline-2.2 to |
| 796 | readline-4.0. At that time the shared library major version |
| 797 | number was bumped from "3" to "4". It has been deemed that |
| 798 | the interface change between readline-2.2 and readline-4.0 was |
| 799 | not sufficient to warrant the version number bump. |
| 800 | |
| 801 | Thus I have reverted it back to "3". You will need to perform |
| 802 | the below immediately before your next ``make world'': |
| 803 | cd /usr/lib |
| 804 | ls -l libreadline.so.4 |
| 805 | (if you have /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4) |
| 806 | mv libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.3 |
| 807 | rm -f libreadline.so |
| 808 | ln -s libreadline.so.3 libreadline.so |
| 809 | |
| 810 | 19990801: |
| 811 | Changes to the pccardd kernel interface require that you recompile |
| 812 | pccardd for new kernel. |
| 813 | |
| 814 | 19980725: |
| 815 | The ipfw interface to the kernel has changed. You will need to |
| 816 | recompile ipfw programs for the new kernel. |
| 817 | |
| 818 | 19990715: |
| 819 | The bpfilter device has been renamed to bpf. You will need to |
| 820 | change your config files in order to enable this in newer kernels. |
| 821 | |
| 822 | 19990704: |
| 823 | src/contrib/sys/softupdates is moving to |
| 824 | src/sys/contrib/softupdates. Update your symbolic links/etc. |
| 825 | |
| 826 | 19990702: |
| 827 | Major changes have been made to vinum and its interface. See |
| 828 | the man page (vinum(8)) for details. Look at the concat, |
| 829 | mirror and stripe commands, as well as the SIMPLIFIED |
| 830 | CONFIGURATION section. |
| 831 | |
| 832 | 19990628: |
| 833 | Newsyslog.conf has had a minor, but potentially dangerous, |
| 834 | change to its username/group syntax. The old syntax was |
| 835 | user.group, while the new syntax is user:group. |
| 836 | |
| 837 | 19990627: |
| 838 | Inetd wrapping default has changed. Please see the updated |
| 839 | man page for details. |
| 840 | |
| 841 | 19990623: |
| 842 | Compaq Smart Raid driver committed as ida. |
| 843 | |
| 844 | 19990622: |
| 845 | The second phase of syscons cleanup has happened. Some |
| 846 | functionality has been made optional. For details, see |
| 847 | http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update-June.txt |
| 848 | Everyone will need to re-config(8) their kernels, but old |
| 849 | binaries will work with the new kernel. |
| 850 | |
| 851 | 19990620: |
| 852 | IPFW uid/gid-based filtering support has been committed. This |
| 853 | breaks binary compatibility with previous copies of |
| 854 | ipfw(8). Any utilities using the ioctl()s of ipfw (especially |
| 855 | ipfw(8)) need to be recompiled with the newest headers |
| 856 | installed. |
| 857 | |
| 858 | 19990618: |
| 859 | Inetd now wraps all stream-based services, including internals. |
| 860 | Syslog "severity" options are honoured. Installed syslog.conf |
| 861 | and hosts.allow should be checked. |
| 862 | |
| 863 | 19990509: |
| 864 | Most of the problems with newbus have been corrected, but |
| 865 | it is still current and evolving. |
| 866 | |
| 867 | libcam's ABI has changed. You must recompile the world and |
| 868 | any ports that use it. |
| 869 | |
| 870 | 19990427: |
| 871 | Massive changes to SMP went into the tree that should speed |
| 872 | things up. However, if you experience problems with SMP |
| 873 | machines, you can back off to the PRE_SMP_VMSHARE tag in the |
| 874 | CVS repository (or run an MP kernel). |
| 875 | |
| 876 | 19990420: |
| 877 | Pccardd and the pccard bus in general seem to be broken or |
| 878 | most people. Soren has patches to make it better for some, |
| 879 | but not all people. Work is underway to make it better for |
| 880 | all people. |

| 882 | 19990416: |
| 883 | new bus changes integrated into -current. Many problems were |
| 884 | initially reported, but most have been fixed. You'll need a |
| 885 | new config and to tweak your kernel config file the way that |
| 886 | GENERIC was tweaked. Keep a copy of your old kernel when |
| 887 | upgrading in case your new kernel doesn't work (and report the |
| 888 | breakage to current@freebsd.org). |
| 889 | |
| 890 | As of 19990421 the remaining problems/quirks are |
| 891 | |
| 892 | o sio no longer supports pnp nor pccard. This will be corrected, |
| 893 | but the new pccard code needs to be completed. |
| 894 | o Some of the sound drivers broke for some people. It seems |
| 895 | inconsistent as to who/what/when/where things broke. |
| 896 | o Duplicate device entries in your config do not work. Previously |
| 897 | they were silently ignored. psm0 seems to be the most common |
| 898 | duplicate choice, although some reports have come in from people |
| 899 | that wired their scsi disk entries. |
| 900 | o You must move the keyboard and mouse attachments from the |
| 901 | isa bus to the atkbdc bus. See GENERIC for details. |
| 902 | o Machines with multiple host-pci bridges (Intel 450NX) will not |
| 903 | probe the second pci bus. |
| 904 | o Some probe ordering may have changed, so device naming may change |
| 905 | with the new kernel. If you have multiple devices, please double |
| 906 | check to make sure they didn't move. This is especially true |
| 907 | for cards on different buses. |
| 908 | o The bus attachment for vga0 is always isa0 and never pci0 when |
| 909 | it is in fact a pci card. It is safe to ignore this. |
| 910 | o The format of the boot messages has changed (and is not |
| 911 | guaranteed to be constant for a while) so you may see this |
| 912 | in some shell scripts that diff dmesg from day to day as well |
| 913 | as scripts that parse dmesg output. |
| 914 | |
| 915 | 19990414: |
| 916 | cc -aout sometimes has problems compiling with -g, remove -g |
| 917 | from those compilation units affected until this is corrected. |
| 918 | |
| 919 | cc -aout has problems with producing some threaded libraries, |
| 920 | so make world -DWANT_AOUT is not functional at this time. |
| 921 | |
| 922 | Since make world for a.out isn't functional, you cannot do |
| 923 | make aout-to-elf from a pre-egcs a.out system. To work around |
| 924 | this problem, make aout-to-elf using 3.1-stable first (or a |
| 925 | pre egcs -current) and then a simple make world will take you |
| 926 | the rest of the way with a -current source base. |
| 927 | |
| 928 | 19990413: |
| 929 | Make -j works again for make world. As always, use it with |
| 930 | care, and be sure to try a make world w/o -j before reporting |
| 931 | problems (that is, know if the problem exists w/o -j before |
| 932 | reporting the problem with -j). |
| 933 | |
| 934 | 19990413: |
| 935 | Note cc -aout, which had been broken since the conversion to |
| 936 | egcs, now supposedly works. If you have rebuilt things like |
| 937 | XFree86 a.out libraries, you should rebuild them again or |
| 938 | progams that use them, including netscape, will fail to work. |
| 939 | |
| 940 | 19990409: |
| 941 | NOTE: New c++ compiler cannot be used with c++ binaries from |
| 942 | the old compiler and vice versa. |
| 943 | |
| 944 | 19990408: |
| 945 | In recent days egcs has been imported into the tree. A number |
| 946 | of problems have been discussed in -current. Here is a highlight |
| 947 | of a few of the more common ones. With the exception of make |
| 948 | -j n, they have been claimed to have been fixed. |
| 949 | |
| 950 | c++ is broken after make world: This is correct. Because we |
| 951 | changed compilers two make worlds are necessary to get C++ |
| 952 | working again. The code generated by the old compiler and new |
| 953 | compiler are not compatible, so things wind up being |
| 954 | undefined. |
| 955 | |
| 956 | cpp is broken in make world: There was a window where cpp |
| 957 | would be built incorrectly. The fix for this is |
| 958 | cd src/gnu/usr.bin/cc |
| 959 | make clean |
| 960 | make all |
| 961 | make install |
| 962 | and this should correct your problems. See the -current |
| 963 | archives for a version of this that does moer cleaning. |
| 964 | |
| 965 | Make -j n doesn't work. Work contiunes to make this work, |
| 966 | I've seen no reports of success as of April 7th. |
| 967 | |
| 968 | 19990329: |
| 969 | Previously, one would define "NOAOUT" to keep from building |
| 970 | the legacy a.out bits. Now one would define "WANT_AOUT" to |
| 971 | build them. |
| 972 | |
| 973 | 19990316: |
| 974 | The name of the old wd.c and atapi.c based CDROM driver has |
| 975 | been changed back to wcd. So update your config file to use |
| 976 | "device wcd" instead of "device acd". |
| 977 | |
| 978 | 19990314: |
| 979 | For those of you using the VN device as a loadable module, |
| 980 | please be aware that the new VN device has been committed to |
| 981 | -4.x and cannot yet be used as a loadable module. This will |
| 982 | be fixed in the future. |
| 983 | |
| 984 | 19990309: |
| 985 | New loader.rc mechanism. Please see src/sys/boot/README for |
| 986 | details. |
| 987 | |
| 988 | 19990225: |
| 989 | struct proc size changed. Recompile kernel and the |
| 990 | usual suspects. Make world if in doubt. |
| 991 | |
| 992 | 19990214: |
| 993 | The nlpt driver has changed names back to be the lpt driver. |
| 994 | See ppbus(4) or http://www.freebsd.org/~nsouch/ppbus.html |
| 995 | for proper configuration details. |
| 996 | |
| 997 | 19990210: |
| 998 | The 'lpt' driver is now obsolete. Replace it with the 'nlpt' |
| 999 | driver and 'ppbus' controller combination. |
| 1000 | |
| 1001 | 19990209: |
| 1002 | New devstat API requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, |
| 1003 | iostat, vmstat and rpc.rstatd. A new kernel is also required. |
| 1004 | make world + building a kernel should do all of this. Any |
| 1005 | ports that use devstat need to be recompiled as well. |
| 1006 | |
| 1007 | 19990125: |
| 1008 | Linux threads options has gone away (they are now standard in |
| 1009 | the FreeBSD kernel). A recompile of all libkvm using programs |
| 1010 | is in order (or better yet a make world). |
| 1011 | |
| 1012 | 19990122: |
| 1013 | On or about this date there was a small window when the boot |
| 1014 | blocks had some minor problems which seemed to force one to |
| 1015 | edit /etc/fstab. This has been corrected, if you are seeing this |
| 1016 | problem, please rebuild and reinstall your boot blocks. |
| 1017 | |
| 1018 | 19990121: |
| 1019 | Vinum has changed. The "vinum read" command has changed. For |
| 1020 | updates, please see |
| 1021 | |
| 1022 | http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=800363+0+current/freebsd-current |
| 1023 | |
| 1024 | for details. |
| 1025 | |
| 1026 | Matt Dillon committed a boatload of VM changes, for |
| 1027 | information please see |
| 1028 | |
| 1029 | http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=886676+0+current/freebsd-current |
| 1030 | or |
| 1031 | http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=827400+0+current/freebsd-current |
| 1032 | |
| 1033 | for details. These changes will likely not impact anybody, |
| 1034 | but large chagnes to the VM need at least a heads up. |
| 1035 | |
| 1036 | 19990120: |
| 1037 | Stable branch created. You might want to consider using this |
| 1038 | branch. It is tagged with RELENG_3. |
| 1039 | |
| 1040 | 19990119: |
| 1041 | More work on the syscons driver has been committed. Since |
| 1042 | files moved around, you will need to reconfigure your kernel, |
| 1043 | and make clean; make depend before rebuilding the kernel. No |
| 1044 | config file changes are needed. |
| 1045 | |
| 1046 | 19990111: |
| 1047 | New keyboard and video card drivers are introduced as the first |
| 1048 | stage of console driver reorganization. You are required to |
| 1049 | update the kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel. |
| 1050 | kbdcontrol, vidcontrol, and screen savers also need recompilation. |
| 1051 | The instruction can be found in |
| 1052 | |
| 1053 | http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt |
| 1054 | |
| 1055 | It has notes on splash screen too. |
| 1056 | |
| 1057 | 19990106: |
| 1058 | Robert Nordier was kind enough to make this page to enable people to |
| 1059 | install the new bootblocks: |
| 1060 | |
| 1061 | http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt |
| 1062 | |
| 1063 | When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your |
| 1064 | /etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for |
| 1065 | elf and aout. Otherwise things like X will stop working with |
| 1066 | messages about being unable to find library files. The |
| 1067 | mergemaster utility in ports/sysutils/mergemaster helps to |
| 1068 | keep critical files like this in sync, and its use is |
| 1069 | recommended. |
| 1070 | |
| 1071 | 19990104: |
| 1072 | Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in |
| 1073 | |
| 1074 | http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html |
| 1075 | |
| 1076 | about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions |
| 1077 | for doing the upgrade. |
| 1078 | |
| 1079 | 19981230: |
| 1080 | You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will |
| 1081 | become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade |
| 1082 | your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use |
| 1083 | make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old |
| 1084 | a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will |
| 1085 | continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile |
| 1086 | for more details. |
| 1087 | |
| 1088 | 19981224: |
| 1089 | The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel. The |
| 1090 | driver that replaces it is named acd. You'll need to change |
| 1091 | this in your configuration files. |
| 1092 | |
| 1093 | Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not |
| 1094 | configured" at boot time. |
| 1095 | |
| 1096 | The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel, |
| 1097 | with no replacement driver. |
| 1098 | |
| 1099 | 19981202: |
| 1100 | New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they |
| 1101 | aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have. |
| 1102 | |
| 1103 | 19981201: |
| 1104 | New user/group added: bind. From src/etc/master.passwd and |
| 1105 | src/etc/group: |
| 1106 | % grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group |
| 1107 | bind:*:53: |
| 1108 | % grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd |
| 1109 | tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin |
| 1110 | kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin |
| 1111 | bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin |
| 1112 | |
| 1113 | 19981118: |
| 1114 | PAM integrated into the tree. Requires new /etc/pam.conf file |
| 1115 | to silence warnings from authentication programs (login, etc). |
| 1116 | See src/etc/pam.conf for a sample. |
| 1117 | |
| 1118 | FORMAT: |

| 1120 | This file contains a list, in reverse chronologocal order, of major |
| 1121 | breakages in tracking -stable. Not all things will be listed here, |
| 1122 | and it only starts on November 18, 1998. If you have an earlier |
| 1123 | version of FreeBSD, you are on your own to get to November 18, 1998. |
