Search for 'COMMON ITEMS:' -20000308: - The binary interface of perl to its modules changed. You - will need to recompile any perl moudles after an - installworld. This includes all ports matching the pattern - /usr/ports/*/p5-*. - -20000303: - CMSG_XXX macros offset in <sys/socket.h> has changed to - conform RFC-2292. All affected applications have been - corrected. The i386 platform's offsets haven't changed, but - the alpha's did. When you build and install new kernel on - FreeBSD/alpha, you must also do a make world. - -20000225: - OpenSSH has been added to FreeBSD. This may conflict with the - ports/security/ssh port since it installs binaries into - /usr/bin and the port goes into /usr/local/bin. Most paths - have /usr/bin in the path before /usr/local/bin, so problems - may arise. If you don't want OpenSSH, add NO_OPENSSH=yes to - your make.conf. - - You will also need to enable OpenSSH in /etc/rc.conf if you - want to run the new servers. You may need to move your host - key and other config files from /usr/local/etc to /etc/ssh. - - OpenSSH's command line parsing, available options and default - settings aren't the same as ssh, so some care needs to be - taken in its operation. One should do a full audit of all - configuration settings. - -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. - - *************************************************************** - RECOMPILE AND REINSTALL KERNEL BEFORE MAKEWORLD - *************************************************************** - -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. - -19990210: - 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 - -http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=800363+0+current/freebsd-current - - 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. - -19990106: - 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. - -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. +20000318: + We've entered the tradtional post release dumping party. + Large kernel changes are being committed and are in the + works.
