- <netipx> headers [1]
- IPX library (libipx)
- IPX support in ifconfig(8)
- IPXrouted(8)
- new MK_NCP option
New MK_NCP build option controls:
- <netncp> and <fs/nwfs> headers
- NCP library (libncp)
- ncplist(1) and ncplogin(1)
- mount_nwfs(8)
- ncp and nwfs kernel modules
User knobs: WITHOUT_IPX, WITHOUT_IPX_SUPPORT, WITHOUT_NCP.
[1] <netsmb/netbios.h> unconditionally uses <netipx> headers
so they are still installed. This needs to be dealt with.
at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.
Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.
New release notes: BIND 9.3.2 (+MFC), IPFilter 4.1.10, tzdata2005r (+MFC).
Deleted release notes: libpcap and tcpdump updates (these updates
were actually a part of 6.0-RELEASE and therefore aren't "new"
anymore).
