With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get: -made libalias modular: -support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external modules loadable at runtime -modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and user land (/lib/libalias_*) -protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp, skinny and smedia -added logging support for kernel side -cleanup After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf in /etc or manually copy it. During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf: that file contains the list of modules to load. User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd: if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference. The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat: if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp). General information and details about the inner working are available in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE (AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'. NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat support will be part of the next libalias-related commit. Approved by: glebius Reviewed by: glebius, ru
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
