The uuidgen command, by means of the uuidgen syscall, generates one
or more Universally Unique Identifiers compatible with OSF/DCE 1.1
version 1 UUIDs.
From the Perforce logs (change 11995):
Round of cleanups:
o Give uuidgen() the correct prototype in syscalls.master
o Define struct uuid according to DCE 1.1 in sys/uuid.h
o Use struct uuid instead of uuid_t. The latter is defined
in sys/uuid.h but should not be used in kernel land.
o Add snprintf_uuid(), printf_uuid() and sbuf_printf_uuid()
to kern_uuid.c for use in the kernel (currently geom_gpt.c).
o Rename the non-standard struct uuid in kern/kern_uuid.c
to struct uuid_private and give it a slightly better definition
for better byte-order handling. See below.
o In sys/gpt.h, fix the broken uuid definitions to match the now
compliant struct uuid definition. See below.
o In usr.bin/uuidgen/uuidgen.c catch up with struct uuid change.
A note about byte-order:
The standard failed to provide a non-conflicting and
unambiguous definition for the binary representation. My initial
implementation always wrote the timestamp as a 64-bit little-endian
(2s-complement) integral. The clock sequence was always written
as a 16-bit big-endian (2s-complement) integral. After a good
nights sleep and couple of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (not
necessarily in that order :-) I reread the spec and came to the
conclusion that the time fields are always written in the native
by order, provided the the low, mid and hi chopping still occurs.
The spec mentions that you "might need to swap bytes if you talk
to a machine that has a different byte-order". The clock sequence
is always written in big-endian order (as is the IEEE 802 address)
because its division is resulting in bytes, making the ordering
unambiguous.

replaced with the new version in sendmail's distribution, vacation and
the necessary libraries (libsmdb and libsmutil) were changed so they

as no sendmail sources available or no sendmail binary. It is now the former.
Also, remove the sendmail chapter from System Managers Manual (SMM) if
NO_SENDMAIL is defined (for similar reasons -- source not available).

IMO it is merely a workaround, the proper solution is to move libmp to

-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.

>decision is, I'll respect it.
Another chance to architect people's principles...I can hardly wait. Seems
quite appropriate for a Sunday - I just need to get one of those collection
plates (and money envelopes) so I can profit, too. :-)
Tcl stays in /usr/src for now, but it needs to be kept up to date; same
for perl. If Jordan doesn't have "setup" (written in tcl) ready for 3.0,
then tcl will be yanked prior to the 3.0 release (and made into a port).
As for the ports tree only supporting the last FreeBSD release, this seems
sensible to me. The "ports" have always been a moving target between releases
and the problem is only going to get worse when we expand to supporting other
processor architectures. In any case, Satoshi is and always has been in charge
of the ports tree and whatever he wants to do with it (within reason :-)) is
his decision.
Does this cover the issue completely? I admit to deleting messages in this
thread with unusual fervor (people have FAR too much time on their hands!).
There's a fair bit of reasoning behind the above, but since everyone is sick
of arguing about this, I'll spare you the analysis.

Move our old a.out utils to /usr/libexec/aout.
Enable binutils and put the utils in /usr/libexec/elf
Enable objformat, a little helper program that calls the right
utils based on /etc/objformat and $OBJFORMAT.
This will enable the ELF generating tools.
Remember that this is only step one, the system is still compiled
and run in a.out format ONLY.
Problem left to solve: The BSD manpages wins over the GNU equivalents
as the are installed last. We need to distinguish between the manpages
somehow...
that prevent the programs from being linked static (duplicated
symbols).
Other programs depend on kernel internals. These will have to wait
for a custom alpha kernel. For now, let's just make the build safe.
