Recent changes: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +20090530: + pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict + detection. It is recommented to rebuild the cache with + ``pkg_admin rebuild''. + + audit-packages.conf(5) has been superseded by pkg_install.conf(5). + The default configuration is the same. Support for pkg_view(1) has + been retired. The functionality of audit-packages(1) and + download-vulnerability-list(1) has moved into pkg_admin(1), wrapper + scripts that handle the common use cases are provided. + +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. + +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. + +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 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// 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/, 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
