   20100222:
 20041006:          The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
           .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
         A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes          libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
         variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This          your object directories.
         will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed  
         on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:  20100204:
           The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
         ident /bin/sh | grep var          but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
           from the system when upgrading.
         Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated          As such, you will need to remove them from your object
         before attempting a build.          and destination directories.
   
 20041001:  20091101:

         dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir          'build.sh -u tools' or 'build.sh -u distribution'.  Ditto
         before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and          src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
         ftp-proxy are the victims).  
   20091001:
 20040715:          On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
         The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine          before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
         if sendmail should be started at boot time.  It checks the  
         contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the  20091001:

         Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.  20090718:

         loopback interface.  
   20090709:
 20040715:          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
         The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386          without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
         kernel builds has been changed again.  The latest version  
         of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.  20090616:
           Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for

         from a clean objdir under tools/*.          subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
           be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
         This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing  
         to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.  20090501:
           Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
         The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.          can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
           who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you

         Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run  
         "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.  20090325:
           The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
         postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from          cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
         /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does  
         detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to  20090126:
         manually move these files yourself.          The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You
           need to 'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory
 20040426:          to avoid using the old assembly stub.
         Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has  
         been removed in favor of the newer layout.  This affects  20090202:
         consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as          pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
         the dynamic discovery mechanism.  This is believed only to          detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
         be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so          ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
         the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary  
         built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24  20090110:
         will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
         2004/04/25.  If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh          1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
         does not work, make sure that your revision of             This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
         src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the             conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
         do the following:          2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
              before installing.
         cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)          3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
         make USETOOLS=no includes             your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
         cd lib/libc             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
         make USETOOLS=no dependall install             and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
         cd ../../sbin/sysctl             libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
         make USETOOLS=no dependall install             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
           4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
         If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to             rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
         identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for             Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
         "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that.  if that happens,             that depend on it.
         make sure to follow the above steps.          5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
              will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
 20040425:          6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
         The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
         are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by             for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
         sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4             upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
         invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now             boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by
         automated by those scripts.  Note that under certain circumstances,             newsyslog(8), may mean that you do not have to remove the
         affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before             files manually.
         upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may          7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
         encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected             accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
         filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as             removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
         possible.  For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.             /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
              the file.
 20040418:          8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
         statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before             disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
         installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running             using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
         a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc             rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
         build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make  
         clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about  20081219:
         anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects          config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
         from the libc build directory.          swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config

         to build it.          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
         This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when          set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.

         Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace  
         to be rebuilt.  
   
 20021010:  
         The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register  
         dependencies on attributes, as well as other options.  Users  
         must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new  
         kernel.  
   
 20021009:  
         A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),  
         which is now used by the SCSI configuration description.  Users  
         must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new  
         kernel.  
   
 20021003:  
         Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration  
         framework.  Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config  
         before building a new kernel.  
   
 20021001:  
         The i386mp branch has been merged.  To compile a kernel, users  
         will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration  
         file.  Multiprocessor kernels will need  
         ioapic*         at mainbus? apid ?  
         options         MULTIPROCESSOR  
         options         COM_MPLOCK  
   
 20020922:  
         MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that  
         certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared  
         linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin  
         and /sbin are dynamically linked.  
         If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that  
         you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,  
         with:  
                 make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so  
   
 20020917:  
         USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:  
             -   TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which  
                 there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,  
                 x86_64).  
             -   EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the  
                 root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu).  This  
                 enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING  
                 platforms.  
   
 20020906:  
         gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and  
         reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.  
   
 20020822:  
         Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)  
         are now provided in /rescue.  
   
         To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter  
         what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built  
         from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).  
   
 20020820:  
         crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program  
         is statically linked.  
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch  
   
 20020605:  
         smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.  
   
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   
         smmsp:*:17:  
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   
         smmsp:*:17:17::0:0:Sendmail Message Submission Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin  
   
 20020515:  
         sshd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in, or sshd  
         will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)  
   
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   
         sshd:*:16:  
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   
         sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin  
   
         Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of  
         the build process).  
   
 20020426:  
         NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.  
   
 20020426:  
         etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for  
         configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of  
         the problems identified.  
         This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's  
         configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).  
   
 20020320:  
         <bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.  
         Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.  
   
 20020319:  
         Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len  
         on send(2) operation.  Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold  
         newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.  
   
 20020311:  
         ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh.  Beware  
         if you restart your machine from remote.  Note that sshd.conf needs  
         to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).  
   
 20020223:  
         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas  
         so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all  
         the VAX assembly files.  
   
 20020118:  
         ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds  
         will break as mtree aborts early.  
   
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   
         ntpd:*:15:  
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin  
   
 20011207:  
         If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting  
         reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native  
         toolchain has some broken C++ bits.  
   
         To fix:  
   
         Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)  
         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)  
   
         gnu/lib/libgcc  
         gnu/lib/libstdc++  
   
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.  
   
 20011201:  
         In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If  
         you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this  
         point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating  
         point is broken.  
   
         To build:  
   
         remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc  
         remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links  
         against the new libgcc.a)  
   
 20011128:  
         Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in  
         the various "files" files.  Bug fixes to config(8) are  
         required in order for this to work properly.  Make sure  
         to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting  
         to build a new kernel.  
   
 20011030:  
         libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)  
         before building libc.  
   
 20011029:  
         The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or  
         see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build  
         procedure in great detail.  BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN  
         build process, are intended in the long run to replace this  
         manual update log.  
   
         Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the  
         BUILDING document for caveats.  Generally, BUILDING supersedes  
         UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of  
         by the new build system.  
   
 20011028:  
         src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle  
         symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that  
         prevented this was corrected.  
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall  
         Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work  
         for you.  
   
 20011006:  
         /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of  
         absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't  
         understand the format.  
   
         Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree  
   
 20011004:  
         Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating  
         is suggested before running a snapshot build  
   
 20010915:  
         The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed  
         a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h.  There may be stale .depend  
         files that still reference this file.  
   
         Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected  
         directories.  
   
 20010803:  
         grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo.  Since it  
         requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before  
         building gnu/usr.bin/grep.  To install new texinfo, please follow  
         the instruction described in 20010726 entry.  
   
 20010803:  
         (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like  
         `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the  
         kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,  
         (i.e., build.sh -t) or  (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"  
         from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.  
         See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.  
         [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]  
   
 20010731:  
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before  
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer  
         bootloaders.  
   
 20010726:  
         Texinfo was updated to 4.0.  To avoid failures when trying to  
         build the included texinfo files, do:  
   
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo  
         make MKINFO=no dependall install  
   
 20010718:  
         Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0.  The way this  
         was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means  
         make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the  
         timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").  
   
         The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV  
         if you have a stale dependency.  
   
         Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so  
         before starting your build.  
   
 20010628:  
         A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug  
         in lint(1).  If you get a warning/error about a non-portable  
         bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.  
   
 20010226:  
         Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds  
         will break as mtree aborts early.  
   
         To work around add by hand:  
   
         named:*:14:  
   
         to /etc/group and add:  
   
         named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin  
   
         to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).  
   
         Now a make build should progress.  
   
 20010219:  
         get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need  
         to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.  
   
         Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff  
                         usr.sbin/config (adding -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP to  
                           CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)  
                         usr.sbin/mdsetimage - Build a static copy if  
                           building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.  
   
 20010204:  
         prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in  
         particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc  
         needs to be installed before make build.  
   
 20010114:  
         introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to  
         bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing  
         anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed  
         with make build.  
   
 20010101:  
         bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused  
         afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.  
   
 20001230:  
         New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.  
         If you get make errors,  
                 (cd share/mk; make install)  
         Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.  
   
 20001019:  
         The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the  
         major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev  
         directory.

         The following make directives are obsoleted.  
         MKCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RSA NOCRYPTO_RC5 NOCRYPTO_IDEA  
         By default, RSA is built into libcrypto.  IDEA and RC5 will not be  
         built into libcrypto.  By using MKCRYPTO_{RC5,IDEA}, you can build  
         additional library libcrypto_{idea,rc5}.
