20190207:
GCC 7 switched for many ports. Update builds are likely to fail.
-20180924:
- A newer OpenSSL version has been imported. If you are doing
- update builds, make sure to remove all old obj dirs, like:
- cd /usr/obj && find . -type d -name openssl | xargs rm -rf
-
-20180717:
- On aarch64 int64_t and related types have changed from long long
- to long. This requires recompiling all C++ binaries.
-
-20180713:
- On amd64 and i386 static binaries are now build position
- independent. This requires recompilation of all object
- files used to create the crunched /rescue binary.
- Clean the rescue directory in your obj directory before
- doing an update build, otherwise linking will fail.
-
-20180414:
- Existing binutils was migrated to binutils.old. Manual
- removal of tools/binutils objects directory may be required
- to fix tools build failure.
-
-20180311:
- bdftopcf was updated and may need cleaning in the
- src/external/mit/xorg/tools/bdftopcf subdirectory if there are
- link errors.
-
-20180212:
- between OpenSSL and GCC updates, many things may fail to build.
- any failure that looks like GCC or openssl is best handled by
- a clean destdir and objdir. Full cleandir and destdir deletion
- is recommended if build failures occur.
-
-20171225:
- removal of the vadvise syscall requires manual removal of all
- associated files from the libc build object directory (including
- the .depend files) - a command like:
- cd $OBJ && find . -type d -name libc | xargs rm -rf
- For architectures that support multiple "compat" binary targets,
- you'll need to cleanup both the regular libc directory and the
- compat ones (the above command will do that).
-
-20171010:
- a change to the build structure of external/bsd/acpica/bin/iasl
- means that its objdir (or *.d and .depend at least) might need
- to be manually removed - or a build done once without -u.
-
-20170822:
- a new version of GMP has been imported and probably
- will break parts of builds related to themselves or GCC, both
- in the tools and the native section. Remove all GCC, GMP, MPFR
- and MPC objdirs or build once without -u.
-
-20170816:
- a new version of MPFR and MPC have been imported and probably
- will break parts of builds related to themselves or GCC, both
- in the tools and the native section. Remove all GCC, GMP, MPFR
- and MPC objdirs or build once without -u.
-
-20170402:
- a new version of dhcpcd has been imported, which does not support
- update builds from the previous version. Remove your
- external/bsd/dhcpcd object dir or build once without -u.
-
-20170211:
- a new terminfo database has been imported.
- The structure of it has changed slightly from prior versions and
- an updated tic tool is required.
- If you build.sh, don't use -u
-
-20170207:
- various arch dependent libc/exect.S files were removed
- Either remove the obj directories (lib/libc and compat/amd64/i386/lib
- if it exists) or do a clean build.
- (This is a bug in the make system, it should be corrected without
- human intervention, but isn't.)
-
-20170104:
- xinput build options have changed.
- Remove the obj directory (external/mit/xorg/bin/xinput)
- if you build.sh -u
-
-20170103:
- a new version of flex has been imported.
- Remove the file from obj (external/bsd/flex)
- if you build.sh -u
-
-20161014:
- a new version of OpenSSL has been imported.
- Remove the files from obj (crypto/external/bsd/openssl)
- if you build.sh -u
-
-20161009:
- a new version of dhcpcd has been imported with slightly changed
- build infrastructure. When doing a build.sh -u this requires
- pruning the external/bsd/dhcpcd objdir.
-
-20160914:
- i386, amd64, shark, ofppc and macppc have joined shark and x68k
- ports in using xorg-server 1.18. This requires a clean destdir
- and a clean objdir.
-
-20160527:
- i386 needs a full cleandir or objdir deletion because PIE has
- been enabled. (see the amd64 entry two down for further info)
-
-20160418:
- libedit needs manual removal of all autogenerated files since
- some of them are not autogenerated anymore. Remember that there
- might be two copies of libedit if your platform builds "compat".
-
-20160410:
- amd64 needs full "make cleandir" or deletion of objdir now that
- PIE has been enabled for amd64. PIE, or position-independent
- executables, means all code, including executables and not just
- shared libraries, is position-independent and hence able to be
- relocated by ASLR, address space layout randomization.
-
- The change was made in Makefile variables for compiler and
- linker flags, for which make(1) does not record dependencies,
- hence it is unable to detect that all .o files need rebuilding.
-
- Partial rebuilds with some modified source files will likely
- fail when linking executables, since the linker refuses to mix
- position-independent code with position-dependent code in
- position-independent executables:
-
- .../x86_64--netbsd/bin/ld: foo.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `...' cannot be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
-
-20160401:
- Ports switching to GCC 5.3 will need a full "make cleandir".
- Some people have found that cleandir is not sufficient, so if
- in doubt delete the entire object directory tree for gcc.
-
-20160306:
- NetBSD's regexp implementation is now part of libnbcompat.
- Nblex, nbm4, nbpax, nbsed use it and they may crash on
- non-NetBSD hosts if linked with stale object files produced
- while they included a non-NetBSD regex.h.
- In any case, you should "make cleandir" at least these tools
- before updating your toolchain.
-
-20160125:
- Dtrace has been enabled by default on some architectures.
- When doing an update build, make sure to clean the etc/mtree
- object directory before starting the build - otherwise the
- needed directories in destdir will not be created.
- An easy way to do this is:
- cd src/etc/mtree && $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$arch cleandir
-
-20150818:
- New acpica requires "make cleandir" in src/external/bsd/acpica
- again.
-
-20150413:
- New acpica requires "make cleandir" and reinstalling yacc
- in /usr/src/external/bsd/byacc and /usr/src/tools/yacc and
- also "make cleandir" in /usr/src/external/bsd/acpica.
-
-20150404:
- Lint changes require a full rebuild of the tool, so make
- sure to build without -u option to build.sh, or manually
- do a make cleandir in src/tools/lint1 and
- src/usr.bin/xlint.
-
-20150310:
- Improvements to openssl for arm mean that update builds of
- the openssl libraries will fail. A make cleandir in
- external/bsd/openssl/lib is needed
-
-20141026:
- A mishap during the import of pppd may cause your corruption
- in your cvs directory if you happened to do a cvs update
- during a short period of time. To fix, just remove the
- directory src/external/bsd/ppp/dist/pppd completely
- and let cvs restore it on next update.
-
-20140721:
- The src/external/mit/lua/src directory was accidentally created
- and then deleted in the CVS repository. If you get errors like
-
- cvs [update aborted]: cannot open directory
- /cvsroot/src/external/mit/lua/src: No such file or directory
-
- then delete your local copy of that directory tree and try again.
-
-20140530:
- ARM eABI switched to DWARF based exception handling. This requires
- rebuilding all C++ code. It is strongly advised to do a clean build.
-
-20140131:
- The new compiler_rt/libc integration moved a few things. It is strongly
- advised to do a clean build. At least lib/libc, the compat version(s)
- of libc, libkern, rump and the kernels need to be cleaned.
-
-20131227:
- 1. The new ntpd runs in a restricted mode to prevent amplification
- attacks. If you need ntpdc to work you need to explicitly enable
- mode7 in your config file. Make sure you put the necessary restrict
- statements to avoid being exposed.
- 2. strncat has moved from lib/libc to common/lib/libc; you might need
- to make clean in libc
-
-20131129:
- The GMP sources were updated, and builds will likely fail without
- cleaning their build trees for both tools and in-tree, like below.
-
-20131128:
- The MPC and MPFR sources were updated, and builds may require their
- tools and in-tree directories cleaned for successful updates.
-
-20130605:
- The kernel option FAST_IPSEC no longer exists, it's been renamed
- to IPSEC (and the older IPSEC version removed).
-
-20130605:
- Previous freetype installations erroneously installed private
- header files. If you are building against a non-empty $DESTDIR,
- please remove ${DESTDIR}//usr/X11R7/include/freetype2/freetype/.
-
-20130531:
- The xdm update may cause build failure due to xdm.man being
- in the obj tree. Make sure to ensure any like this:
- nbmake: nbmake: don't know how to make xdm.man. Stop
- is fixed by deleting the xdm.man in the obj tree.
-
-20130530:
- Updates of many xsrc packages will leave old .pc files around.
- Best to clean out the xsrc objdir entirely before rebuilds.
-
-20130301:
- The removal of netiso requires manual removal of /usr/include/netiso
- prior to the build and make cleandir in /usr/src/usr.bin/{ktruss,kdump}
-
-20120726:
- The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
- directory and DESTDIR. *Even non-update builds require cleaning
- DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
- some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
- cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.
-
-20120507:
- The database schema for makemandb was changed. You will
- need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
- for the next weekly run to fix it.
-
-20120319:
- sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
- size of db_symtab automatically. You need to update dbsym in
- your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE. If
- you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
- mk.conf.
-
-20120216:
- Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO. Update builds will fail
- unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually. If you built between 20120207
- and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
- /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or
- the next run of weekly will fix it.
-
-20111227:
- If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
- /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
- bump has been reverted.
-
-20111125:
- The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
- means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
- configuration files. The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
- removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.
-
-20111119:
- A problem with the datastructures used by the rndctl(8)
- utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
- bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
- non-backwards-compatible way. If you replace your kernel,
- replace your rndctl executable too.
-
-20111001:
- the prop_*_send_syscall() functions from proplib(3) have been
- changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
- one. So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
- quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.
-
-20110817:
- sparc has been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any objdir or
- DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
-
-20110806:
- i386 and amd64 have been changed to use GCC 4.5.3, so any
- objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.
-
-20110805:
- The update to GCC 4.5.3 requires a non-trivial portion of
- the tree to be cleaned. Best to delete both objdir and
- DESTDIR before running this update. So far, only the
- sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.
-
-20110803:
- The layout of external/public-domain/xz has changed. To do an
- update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
- for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there
- is now a directory.
-
-20110410:
- The configuration of src/tools/gcc has changed. To do an
- update build you have to clean both tools/binutils and
- tools/gcc by hand.
-
-20110328:
- Building the Xorg binary was moved into a subdirectory to fix
- ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
- the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
- if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a
- directory.
-
-20110121:
- Assembler files no longer use -traditional-cpp. This can break
- the build of individual parts of the tree. This is handled
- correctly by build.sh. Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
- and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.
-
-20101217:
- The tcpdump(8) program was changed to drop privileges and chroot(2)
- by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
- group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.
-
-20101125:
- The latest changes to setenv(3) disallow setting environment
- variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
- assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
- old copy of /usr/bin/env causes env x=1 printenv | grep x= to
- break which affects the autoconf tests for dependency finding,
- so building gcc will end up printing:
- checking dependency style of gcc... none
- configure: error: no usable dependency style found
- Fix it by rebuilding and re-installing env.
-
-20101119:
- Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ may cause various build
- or run-time problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you
- have any build problems with xsrc, or problems with mismatched
- versions between xorg-server and drivers.
-
-20100604:
- The update of ATF to 0.9 causes old tests written in shell to fail
- unless they are rebuilt. If you are building with MKUPDATE=yes,
- you need to clean the src/external/bsd/atf/tests/ and the src/tests/
- trees by hand.
-
-20100522:
- Recent Xorg updates in xsrc/external/mit/ will cause various build
- problems. Delete your entire DESTDIR and OBJDIR if you have any
- build problems with xsrc.
-
-20100522:
- private section of <ctype.h> was split, and now mklocale(1)
- include ctype_local.h, so you have to make cleandir in tools/mklocale.
-
-20100520:
- The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
- remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
-
-20100222:
- The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
- .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
- libXX.so. All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
- your object directories.
-
-20100204:
- The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
- but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
- from the system when upgrading.
- As such, you will need to remove them from your object
- and destination directories.
-
-20091101:
- After updating, it may be necessary to make the 'cleandir'
- target in src/tools/yacc/ and in src/usr.bin/yacc/ before a
- 'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'. Ditto
- src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
-
-20091001:
- On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
- before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
-
-20091001:
- An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
- symlink, failing the build. Delete the link, and the subdir
- it is in, and retry your build.
-
-20090718:
- libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
- point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
- may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
- (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
-
-20090709:
- Native Xorg was upgraded again. Builds will probably fail again
- without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
-
-20090616:
- Native Xorg was upgraded. Builds will need a clean objdir for
- src/external/mit/xorg. Upgrading a system from sets will not
- work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
- subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
- be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
-
-20090501:
- Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
- can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
- who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you
- note messages about stpcpy, stpncpy or strnlen accompanying a
- failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
- objects and start again.
-
-20090325:
- The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain. This requires
- cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
-
-20090126:
- The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
- need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
- to avoid using the old assembly stub.
-
-20090202:
- pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
- detection. It is recommended to rebuild the cache with
- ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
-
-20090110:
- time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
- 1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
- This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
- conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
- 2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
- before installing.
- 3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
- your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
- are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
- and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
- libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
- the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
- 4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
- rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
- Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
- that depend on it.
- 5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
- will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
- 6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
- lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
- for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
- upgrading. The automated clearing of /var/run during
- boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
- newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
- files manually.
- 7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
- accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
- removed. The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
- /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
- the file.
- 8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
- disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
- using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
- rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
-
-20081219:
- config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
- swapnetbsd.o - has changed format. You need to rebuild config
- (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
- config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
- kernels.
-
-20081205:
- If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
- /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
- set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
-
-20081122:
- On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
- file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
- Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
- following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
-
- - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
-
- - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
- for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
-
- If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
- the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
- file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
-
-20080827:
- If you built and installed a libc from sources between
- 2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
- which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
- Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
- needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
- $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
-
-20080813:
- MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
- about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
-
-20080802:
- A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
- been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
- for -current.
-
- Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
- libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
- be recompiled.
-
- One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
-
- $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
- $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
-
-20080731:
- WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
- time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels
- and userland (fsck_ffs in particular). Please make sure you
- don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
- especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem. WAPBL
- also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format. You
- can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
-
-20080721:
- Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
- isn't defined.
-
-20080531:
- The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
- from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)
- utility needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled as older binaries
- won't work correctly. The following sequence of commands:
-
- $ (cd sys/sys/ && nbmake-$arch includes)
- $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch clean)
- $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)
-
- leaves new drvctl utility in sbin/drvctl build directory.
-
-20080503:
- The <bsd.lib.mk> variable MKPRIVATELIB was renamed to LIBISPRIVATE.
-
-20080521:
- For a while, unprivileged UPDATE builds would fail to
- succeed at the checkflist stage, complaining that
- ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>/ did not exist. A fix for this
- problem was committed to share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk, revision 1.9.
- If you already hit this problem, update the .mk file,
- remove ${DESTDIR}/stand/<arch>, and re-run the build.
-
-20080303:
- Linker warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0.
-
-20080126:
- The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly
- stub, to a c file that calls an assembly stub. You need to
- 'rm -f posix_fadvise.* .depend' in the libc build directory to
- avoid using the old assembly stub.
-
-20071209:
- The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
- get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel
- configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
-
-20071115:
- The it(4) driver has been renamed to itesio(4) and the old port
- argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
- anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
- rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
- configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
-
-20071028:
- The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
- You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
- to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
- now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
- entries for the wscons driver. See the GENERIC configuration file
- for more details.
-
-20070913:
- A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
- enumerate interfaces was fixed. The bug began to cause
- problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
- implementation was repaired. From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
- could not enumerate interfaces. (These are noted because
- normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
- sufficient to avoid this problem.) Ensure that both kernel
- and userland are from after 20070913.
-
-20070703:
- nbinstall has been renamed ${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-install. It
- calls the target-specific strip program, and the logic to pass
- down STRIP from make has been removed. This requires a
- re-installation of tools.
-
-20070422:
- The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root
- has been changed. Rather than modify the pathname (and copy back
- to userspace) namei() and lookup() directly check the emulation
- root. One side effect is that absolute symlinks inside the emulated
- root file system will be relative to that file system - unless they
- start /../ this is useful when the emulated root is a real install
- that has such links.
- This might affect symlinks that have been added to reference outside
- the emulated root.
-
-20070412:
- The pckbc driver on sgimips IP32 has been removed. Use macekbc
- instead. See the GENERIC32_IP3x kernel configuration for an
- example.
-
-20070319:
- src/lib/libc/Makefile revision 1.129 broke libc and ld.elf_so
- on many platforms due to incorrect flags settings. If you
- updated and built after about 20070315, do "nbmake-$arch
- cleandir" in src/lib/libc and src/libexec/ld.elf_so to force a
- rebuild of object files that might have been built
- incorrectly, and ensure that you have at least
- src/lib/libc/Makefile 1.130.
-
-20070210:
- src/sys/sys/{sa.h,savar.h} were removed.
- find ${OBJDIR} \( -name .depend -o -name '*.d' \) -print \
- | xargs egrep -l '/sa.h|/savar.h' | xargs rm
- will allow dependencies on those files to get get rebuilt
-
-20070209:
- The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
- was merged to NetBSD-current. If you boot with a new
- kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
- library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7). If you boot with
- an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
- (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6). Provided you keep the kernel and
- the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
- continue to work with an old or new kernel. Note that named(8)
- is the only threaded application in the base system.
-
-20061214:
- Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
- from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
- will need to do a "make cleandir" in
- tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
- bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
- usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
- as the installation images in distrib/
- in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
- file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
-
-20061108:
- The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
- changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
- does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
- make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
-
-20061009:
- The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
- available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
-
-20060814:
- The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
- withdrawn. Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead. See the GENERIC
- kernel configuration for an example. X servers from the last
- few years should cope.
-
-20060703:
- MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
- if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
- to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
-
-20060627:
- socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
- For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
- your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
- errors will result.
