note of this in the updating file. Put it under the 19981224 date rather than today's date, since that was when the change was. Submitted by: Gregory Bond <gnb@itga.com.au> Also added note about floppy tape driver. Didn't add note about voxware or pcvt as they have been restored to the kernel.

in it to him. It contains a list, in reverse chronologocal order, of
|
|
major breakages in tracking -current. Not all things will be listed
|
|
here, and it only starts on Novemeber 18, 1998. If you have an
|
|
earlier version of FreeBSD, you are on your own to get to November 18,
|
|
1998.

19990104:
|
|
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.
|
|
