20000205:
|
|
The xinstall problem has kinda sorta been corrected. The
|
|
following is known to work by the author of UPDATING. It
|
|
is what he did to update his laptop. It is likely the same
|
|
effect as the work around listed in 20000129.
|
|
make buildworld
|
|
make installworld This will fail
|
|
cd usr.bin/xinstall
|
|
make clean all install NOSHARED=YES
|
|
cd ../..
|
|
make installworld
|
|
If it doesn't work for you, then I'm sure that there will be
|
|
another 100 messages in -current.
|
|
|
|
20000204:
|
|
libipsec version number changed from 2 to 0. The original
|
|
commit of Jan 6 incorrectly set this to 2. Remove
|
|
/usr/lib/libipsec.so.2* before the buildworld and rebuild
|
|
anything that uses libipsec.so after you install the new
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
20000201:
|
|
The rcmd related functions have been aligned with other BSD
|
|
implementations. rlogind and rshd have been changed to use
|
|
the new API. A make world is recommended to keep them in sync
|
|
with the libraries they use.
|
|
|
|
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/net/rcmd.c
|
|
has the details.
|
|
|
|
20000129:
|
|
{set,get}flags have been added to the tree for rather dubious
|
|
reasons.
|
|
|
|
IF AND ONLY IF installworld fails:
|
|
make -k -DNOFSCHG installworld
|
|
make installworld
|
|
This issue was resolved Feb 5, 2000.
|
|
|
|
20000125:
|
|
rcmd_af() is added for multiple address family support. rsh
|
|
and rlogin have been updated to use this to support INET6. A
|
|
make world is recommended to keep them in sync with the
|
|
libraries they use.
|
|
|
|
20000124:
|
|
The default way that virtual tables in our default C++
|
|
compiler has changed. We used to use THUNKS for virtual
|
|
inheritance. Unfortunately there are bugs that The GCC
|
|
developers thought would be fixed in GCC 2.95. However it
|
|
isn't.
|
|
|
|
After this change existing applications written in C++ may
|
|
give errors like below when you try to run them:
|
|
|
|
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3: Undefined symbol "__vt_7filebuf"
|
|
|
|
The only fix is to rebuild the application and any C++
|
|
libraries used.
|
|
|
|
20000124:
|
|
The management of next_writeable has been move from the
|
|
kernel to userspace. This means that the burncd command
|
|
must be in sync with the kernel. So make world is your
|
|
friend.
|
|
|
|
20000117:
|
|
GNU texinfo upgraded to 4.0. It is recommended that you use
|
|
make buildworld to update.
|
|
|
|
20000117:
|
|
CAM_VERSION has been increased. Recompile all programs that
|
|
depend on it (tosha, camcontrol, etc) when moving to kernels
|
|
past this date.
|
|
|
|
20000115:
|
|
pccard ioctls changed with a commit to have the kernel tell
|
|
pccardd which device it created, rather than having pccardd
|
|
dictate it to the kernel. Recompile kernel and
|
|
pccardd/pccardc together. pccardd/pccardc rely on a kernel
|
|
Makefile that must be installed prior to building them. Make
|
|
world will automatically take care of this issue, but you need
|
|
to know if you are building by hand.
|
|
|
|
20000109:
|
|
Your kernel config files need to be changed to s/controller/device/
|
|
in them. You will need a new version of config to do this.
|
|
|
|
20000107:
|
|
chown & chgrp moved again
|
|
|
|
This is a heads up to let you know that you need to
|
|
rm -f /sbin/chown /bin/chgrp
|
|
after your next `make world'. Additionally you need to install
|
|
a new /dev/MAKEDEV (mergemaster(8) will assist you in this).
|
|
|
|
20000107:
|
|
SHA-1 password support gone
|
|
|
|
As warned yesterday, I've just removed the ability for
|
|
libcrypt to understand SHA-1 passwords. This was present but
|
|
undocumented in the tree for the past few months and was
|
|
removed so it can be reimplemented properly as part of a
|
|
revamped libcrypt at a later date. Anyone who was actually
|
|
making use of the feature will have to update their passwords
|
|
back to MD5 before they reinstall the library.
|
|
|
|
20000106:
|
|
ioctl numbers changed for dvdio ioctls. You will need to recompile
|
|
anything that uses them. wormcontrol has been deprecated in
|
|
favor of burncd.
|
|
|
|
19991223:
|
|
Building linux and svr4 compatibility into the kernel now
|
|
requires /usr/bin/genassym. Go to /usr/src/usr.bin/genassym,
|
|
do "make obj ; make clean depend all install" before building
|
|
your kernel.
|
|
|
|
19991218:
|
|
sendmail.cf has moved from /etc/sendmail.cf to
|
|
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf. You may need to adjust /etc/rc.conf
|
|
and /etc/rc to cope as well as moving sendmail.cf.
|
|
|
|
19991216:
|
|
ntp 4.0.98 has replaced the ancient xntpd. The daemon name
|
|
changed from xntpd to ntpd, so you may need to update your
|
|
/etc/rc.conf file. The ntp.conf files are compatible with the
|
|
old release, unless you are using a local reference clock.
|
|
Details about ntp4 can be found at http://www.ntp.org/.
|
|
|
|
xntpd will be cvs removed from the repo in about a week.
|
|
|
|
19991213:
|
|
Soren updated the ata driver. Please update to at least this
|
|
version before submitting bug reports.
|
|
|
|
19991210:
|
|
The ata driver has become the primary ata/ide/atapi driver in
|
|
the kernel. The wd driver is obsolete. You should upgrade your
|
|
machine to the new ata driver. You will need to follow the
|
|
directions for updating the devices in the 19991205 entry. You
|
|
will need to update all occurances of wd to ad in your config files
|
|
(/etc/rc.conf, /etc/fstab, etc). A compatibility device exists
|
|
for wd for the time being, but once you have determined that
|
|
ata is working for you, transition to the new ad devices.
|
|
|
|
19991205:
|
|
Block devices are going away. You will need to update your /dev
|
|
tree with a fresh copy of MAKEDEV for things to always work in
|
|
the future. fsck is unable to cope with dirty file systems
|
|
after this change, so it may work for you or it may not.
|
|
|
|
See "To rebuild disk /dev entries" at the end of the file.
|
|
|
|
*** All uses of block devices must be converted to char devices.
|
|
*** Likely the only thing impacted is dumpdev in /etc/rc.conf
|
|
|
|
19991204:
|
|
The dc interface has replaced al, ax, dm, pn and mx. The former
|
|
have been removed.
|
|
|
|
19991204:
|
|
Support for the old 'sd' device names has been removed in
|
|
favor of 'da'. Please update your /etc/fstab, /etc/rc.conf
|
|
and any other places you might have sd names cached.
|
|
Generally these changes are as simple as s=/dev/sd=/dev/da=g,
|
|
but be careful to make sure that things are really that
|
|
simple. You may also need to create /dev entries for the da
|
|
devices as well.
|
|
|
|
See "To rebuild disk /dev entries" at the end of the file.
|
|
|
|
19991203:
|
|
BAD144 support has been removed. Cope or replace the hardware.
|
|
|
|
19991129:
|
|
ALPHA users take note. All klds will need to be recompiled for
|
|
kernels build after this date. It is a good time to update since
|
|
pal.s will be going away soon.
|
|
|
|
19991126:
|
|
MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE are gone, replaced by MD_ROOT and
|
|
MD_ROOT_SIZE options in the md driver. md driver now deals with
|
|
the hacks. You should add md driver to kerneles that have
|
|
MFS_ROOT, et al. See GENERIC or LINT for details.
|
|
|
|
19991125:
|
|
The ep changed a while ago and can no longer be used with hard
|
|
wired addresses in the config file.
|
|
|
|
19991122:
|
|
The bridge drivers for sound cards have been committed. Please
|
|
see LINT for instructions for your card, if it still works at
|
|
all.
|
|
|
|
19991113:
|
|
Gcc 2.95.2 is now the default compiler.
|
|
|
|
19991030:
|
|
/etc/radius.conf file format has changed.The format change is
|
|
as follows. Each server line in the file should now begin
|
|
with a new field containing either "auth" for RADIUS
|
|
authentication, or "acct" for RADIUS accounting. Formerly
|
|
only authentication was supported. If the first field isn't
|
|
"auth" or "acct" then the code assumes that "auth" is
|
|
intended. (That's the compatibility hack.)
|
|
|
|
19991015:
|
|
PCCARD has been updated to attach pcic to the isa bus. Therefore
|
|
you will need to modify kernel config files that have pcic/card
|
|
in them as follows:
|
|
controller pcic0 at isa?
|
|
controller pcic1 at isa?
|
|
controller card0
|
|
|
|
19990929:
|
|
The sigset_t datatype has been changed from an integral type
|
|
to a compound type and can hold 128 signals. Syscalls directly
|
|
or indirectly using the new sigset_t have been added as to
|
|
maintain compatibility with existing binaries. A new kernel must
|
|
be made and installed and booted with before a make world can
|
|
be done.
|
|

|
|
19990919:
|
|
New jail syscall format requires recompilation of jail(8) with
|
|
fresh headers installed (or a make world will do it for you).
|
|
|
|
19990914:
|
|
Matt Dillon checked in many vm related things and sent a heads up
|
|
to -current urging caution and to report vm problems to him.
|
|
As of the 19th, no killer problems have been reported, but you
|
|
have been warned.
|
|
|
|
19990908:
|
|
The new miibus has been added to the system. If you are using
|
|
the dm, rl, sf, sis, ste, tl, wb or xl drivers, you need to
|
|
add "controller miibus0" to your config file.
|
|
|
|
19990905:
|
|
/var/cron/log has been moved to /var/log/cron to get all the
|
|
log files in one place.
|
|
|
|
19990831:
|
|
tn3270 has been removed from the base system and added as a port.
|
|
|
|
19990830:
|
|
User-visible TCP timers are now expressed in units of 1ms, instead
|
|
of 500ms, so if you've customized any timer values under
|
|
``net.inet.tcp'', multiply them by 500 to preserve TCP's behavior.
|
|
|
|
19990828:
|
|
RCS Id tags changed to FreeBSD. This will cause huge cvsup
|
|
updates.
|
|
|
|
19990821:
|
|
On 28-May-1999 libreadline was upgraded from readline-2.2 to
|
|
readline-4.0. At that time the shared library major version
|
|
number was bumped from "3" to "4". It has been deemed that
|
|
the interface change between readline-2.2 and readline-4.0 was
|
|
not sufficient to warrant the version number bump.
|
|
|
|
Thus I have reverted it back to "3". You will need to perform
|
|
the below immediately before your next ``make world'':
|
|
cd /usr/lib
|
|
ls -l libreadline.so.4
|
|
(if you have /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4)
|
|
mv libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.3
|
|
rm -f libreadline.so
|
|
ln -s libreadline.so.3 libreadline.so
|
|
|
|
19990801:
|
|
Changes to the pccardd kernel interface require that you recompile
|
|
pccardd for new kernel.
|
|
|
|
19980725:
|
|
The ipfw interface to the kernel has changed. You will need to
|
|
recompile ipfw programs for the new kernel.
|
|
|
|
19990715:
|
|
The bpfilter device has been renamed to bpf. You will need to
|
|
change your config files in order to enable this in newer kernels.
|
|
|
|
19990704:
|
|
src/contrib/sys/softupdates is moving to
|
|
src/sys/contrib/softupdates. Update your symbolic links/etc.
|
|
|
|
19990702:
|
|
Major changes have been made to vinum and its interface. See
|
|
the man page (vinum(8)) for details. Look at the concat,
|
|
mirror and stripe commands, as well as the SIMPLIFIED
|
|
CONFIGURATION section.
|
|
|
|
19990628:
|
|
Newsyslog.conf has had a minor, but potentially dangerous,
|
|
change to its username/group syntax. The old syntax was
|
|
user.group, while the new syntax is user:group.
|
|
|
|
19990627:
|
|
Inetd wrapping default has changed. Please see the updated
|
|
man page for details.
|
|
|
|
19990623:
|
|
Compaq Smart Raid driver committed as ida.
|
|
|
|
19990622:
|
|
The second phase of syscons cleanup has happened. Some
|
|
functionality has been made optional. For details, see
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update-June.txt
|
|
Everyone will need to re-config(8) their kernels, but old
|
|
binaries will work with the new kernel.
|
|
|
|
19990620:
|
|
IPFW uid/gid-based filtering support has been committed. This
|
|
breaks binary compatibility with previous copies of
|
|
ipfw(8). Any utilities using the ioctl()s of ipfw (especially
|
|
ipfw(8)) need to be recompiled with the newest headers
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
19990618:
|
|
Inetd now wraps all stream-based services, including internals.
|
|
Syslog "severity" options are honoured. Installed syslog.conf
|
|
and hosts.allow should be checked.
|
|
|
|
19990509:
|
|
Most of the problems with newbus have been corrected, but
|
|
it is still current and evolving.
|
|
|
|
libcam's ABI has changed. You must recompile the world and
|
|
any ports that use it.
|
|
|
|
19990427:
|
|
Massive changes to SMP went into the tree that should speed
|
|
things up. However, if you experience problems with SMP
|
|
machines, you can back off to the PRE_SMP_VMSHARE tag in the
|
|
CVS repository (or run an MP kernel).
|
|
|
|
19990420:
|
|
Pccardd and the pccard bus in general seem to be broken or
|
|
most people. Soren has patches to make it better for some,
|
|
but not all people. Work is underway to make it better for
|
|
all people.
|
|
|
|
19990416:
|
|
new bus changes integrated into -current. Many problems were
|
|
initially reported, but most have been fixed. You'll need a
|
|
new config and to tweak your kernel config file the way that
|
|
GENERIC was tweaked. Keep a copy of your old kernel when
|
|
upgrading in case your new kernel doesn't work (and report the
|
|
breakage to current@freebsd.org).
|
|
|
|
As of 19990421 the remaining problems/quirks are
|
|
|
|
o sio no longer supports pnp nor pccard. This will be corrected,
|
|
but the new pccard code needs to be completed.
|
|
o Some of the sound drivers broke for some people. It seems
|
|
inconsistant as to who/what/when/where things broke.
|
|
o Duplicate device entries in your config do not work. Previously
|
|
they were silently ignored. psm0 seems to be the most common
|
|
duplicate choice, although some reports have come in from people
|
|
that wired their scsi disk entries.
|
|
o You must move the keyboard and mouse attachments from the
|
|
isa bus to the atkbdc bus. See GENERIC for details.
|
|
o Machines with multiple host-pci bridges (Intel 450NX) will not
|
|
probe the second pci bus.
|
|
o Some probe ordering may have changed, so device naming may change
|
|
with the new kernel. If you have multiple devices, please double
|
|
check to make sure they didn't move. This is especially true
|
|
for cards on different buses.
|
|
o The bus attachment for vga0 is always isa0 and never pci0 when
|
|
it is in fact a pci card. It is safe to ignore this.
|
|
o The format of the boot messages has changed (and is not
|
|
guaranteed to be constant for a while) so you may see this
|
|
in some shell scripts that diff dmesg from day to day as well
|
|
as scripts that parse dmesg output.
|
|
|
|
19990414:
|
|
cc -aout sometimes has problems compiling with -g, remove -g
|
|
from those compilation units affected until this is corrected.
|
|
|
|
cc -aout has problems with producing some threaded libraries,
|
|
so make world -DWANT_AOUT is not functional at this time.
|
|
|
|
Since make world for a.out isn't functional, you cannot do
|
|
make aout-to-elf from a pre-egcs a.out system. To work around
|
|
this problem, make aout-to-elf using 3.1-stable first (or a
|
|
pre egcs -current) and then a simple make world will take you
|
|
the rest of the way with a -current source base.
|
|
|
|
19990413:
|
|
Make -j works again for make world. As always, use it with
|
|
care, and be sure to try a make world w/o -j before reporting
|
|
problems (that is, know if the problem exists w/o -j before
|
|
reporting the problem with -j).
|
|
|
|
19990413:
|
|
Note cc -aout, which had been broken since the conversion to
|
|
egcs, now supposedly works. If you have rebuilt things like
|
|
XFree86 a.out libraries, you should rebuild them again or
|
|
progams that use them, including netscape, will fail to work.
|
|
|
|
19990409:
|
|
NOTE: New c++ compiler cannot be used with c++ binaries from
|
|
the old compiler and vice versa.
|
|
|
|
19990408:
|
|
In recent days egcs has been imported into the tree. A number
|
|
of problems have been discussed in -current. Here is a highlight
|
|
of a few of the more common ones. With the exception of make
|
|
-j n, they have been claimed to have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
c++ is broken after make world: This is correct. Because we
|
|
changed compilers two make worlds are necessary to get C++
|
|
working again. The code generated by the old compiler and new
|
|
compiler are not compatible, so things wind up being
|
|
undefined.
|
|
|
|
cpp is broken in make world: There was a window where cpp
|
|
would be built incorrectly. The fix for this is
|
|
cd src/gnu/usr.bin/cc
|
|
make clean
|
|
make all
|
|
make install
|
|
and this should correct your problems. See the -current
|
|
archives for a version of this that does moer cleaning.
|
|
|
|
Make -j n doesn't work. Work contiunes to make this work,
|
|
I've seen no reports of success as of April 7th.
|
|
|
|
19990329:
|
|
Previously, one would define "NOAOUT" to keep from building
|
|
the legacy a.out bits. Now one would define "WANT_AOUT" to
|
|
build them.
|
|
|
|
19990316:
|
|
The name of the old wd.c and atapi.c based CDROM driver has
|
|
been changed back to wcd. So update your config file to use
|
|
"device wcd" instead of "device acd".
|
|
|
|
19990314:
|
|
For those of you using the VN device as a loadable module,
|
|
please be aware that the new VN device has been committed to
|
|
-4.x and cannot yet be used as a loadable module. This will
|
|
be fixed in the future.
|
|
|
|
19990309:
|
|
New loader.rc mechanism. Please see src/sys/boot/README for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
19990225:
|
|
struct proc size changed. Recompile kernel and the
|
|
usual suspects. Make world if in doubt.
|
|
|
|
19990214:
|
|
The nlpt driver has changed names back to be the lpt driver.
|
|
See ppbus(4) or http://www.freebsd.org/~nsouch/ppbus.html
|
|
for proper configuration details.

The 'lpt' driver is now obsolete. Replace it with the 'nlpt'
|
|
driver and 'ppbus' controller combination.

19990209:
|
|
New devstat API requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat,
|
|
iostat, vmstat and rpc.rstatd. A new kernel is also required.
|
|
make world + building a kernel should do all of this. Any
|
|
ports that use devstat need to be recompiled as well.
|
|
|
|
19990125:
|
|
Linux threads options has gone away (they are now standard in
|
|
the FreeBSD kernel). A recompile of all libkvm using programs
|
|
is in order (or better yet a make world).
|
|
|
|
19990122:
|
|
On or about this date there was a small window when the boot
|
|
blocks had some minor problems which seemed to force one to
|
|
edit /etc/fstab. This has been corrected, if you are seeing this
|
|
problem, please rebuild and reinstall your boot blocks.
|
|
|
|
19990121:
|
|
Vinum has changed. The "vinum read" command has changed. For
|
|
updates, please see
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
Matt Dillon committed a boatload of VM changes, for
|
|
information please see
|
|
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=886676+0+current/freebsd-current
|
|
or
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=827400+0+current/freebsd-current
|
|
|
|
for details. These changes will likely not impact anybody,
|
|
but large chagnes to the VM need at least a heads up.
|
|
|
|
19990120:
|
|
Stable branch created. You might want to consider using this
|
|
branch. It is tagged with RELENG_3.
|
|
|
|
19990119:
|
|
More work on the syscons driver has been committed. Since
|
|
files moved around, you will need to reconfigure your kernel,
|
|
and make clean; make depend before rebuilding the kernel. No
|
|
config file changes are needed.
|
|
|
|
19990111:
|
|
New keyboard and video card drivers are introduced as the first
|
|
stage of console driver reorganization. You are required to
|
|
update the kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel.
|
|
kbdcontrol, vidcontrol, and screen savers also need recompilation.
|
|
The instruction can be found in
|
|
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt
|
|
|
|
It has notes on splash screen too.

Robert Nordier was kind enough to make this page to enable people to
|
|
install the new bootblocks:
|
|
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt
|
|
|
|
When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your
|
|
/etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for
|
|
elf and aout. Otherwise things like X will stop working with
|
|
messages about being unable to find library files. The
|
|
mergemaster utility in ports/sysutils/mergemaster helps to
|
|
keep critical files like this in sync, and its use is
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|

|
Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in
|
|
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html
|
|
|
|
about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions
|
|
for doing the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
19981230:
|
|
You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will
|
|
become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade
|
|
your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use
|
|
make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old
|
|
a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will
|
|
continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
19981224:
|
|
The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel. The
|
|
driver that replaces it is named acd. You'll need to change
|
|
this in your configuration files.
|
|
|
|
Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not
|
|
configured" at boot time.
|
|
|
|
The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel,
|
|
with no replacement driver.
|
|
|
|
19981202:
|
|
New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they
|
|
aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have.
|
|
|
|
19981201:
|
|
New user/group added: bind. From src/etc/master.passwd and
|
|
src/etc/group:
|
|
% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group
|
|
bind:*:53:
|
|
% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd
|
|
tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
|
|
kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
|
|
bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
|
|
|
|
19981118:
|
|
PAM integrated into the tree. Requires new /etc/pam.conf file
|
|
to silence warnings from authentication programs (login, etc).
|
|
See src/etc/pam.conf for a sample.
|
|
|
