   20090709:
 20050917:          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
         arch/*/conf/std.* was changed to include conf/std, which          without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.

         If you have kernel config files which doesn't include  20090616:

         postinstall(8) migrates this during interactive use.  
         Users of MKUPDATE=yes will need to manually rectify  20090501:
         this in their DESTDIR.          Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
           can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people

         Thus usr.bin/config must be updated (and run on the kernel  
         configuration file) before a new kernel can be built.  20090325:
           The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
 20050531:          cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.
         genassym.sh(8) was moved to genassym(1). You need to either build  
         tools first or install the version of genassym from /usr/bin before  20090126:
         you can build a kernel again.          The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You need to
           'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory to avoid using
 20050520:          the old assembly stub.
         Because a kernfs bug which xentools relies on was fixed,  
         xentools up to xentools20-2.0.3nb4 won't work with new kernel.  20090202:

           time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
 20050325:          1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
         pcppi(4) was separated in two devices, adding attimer(4).  Be sure             This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is

         might even not hear any more beep.  Also, it is advised to attach both          3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
         devices the same way (i.e., both on isa or both on acpi) or the             your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers

           5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file
 20050109:             will be upgraded and it will not be backwards compatible.
         Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have          6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
         /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
         for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require             for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
         a password).             upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
              boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by

         you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through             accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
         the build.             removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
              /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
 20041201:             the file.
         Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of          8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
         /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new             disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
         MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*             using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
              rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
 20041006:  
   20081219:
         A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes          config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
         variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This          swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
         will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed          (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
         on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:          config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
           kernels.
         ident /bin/sh | grep var  
   20081205:
         Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         before attempting a build.          /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.
 20041001:  
         The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to  20081122:
         dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile          On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
         dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir          file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
         before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and          Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
         ftp-proxy are the victims).          following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
   
 20040715:          - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
         The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine  
         if sendmail should be started at boot time.  It checks the          - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
         contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the            for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically

           file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
         Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.  
   20080827:
         If you are only using sendmail by default and only for          If you built and installed a libc from sources between
         local delivery, it is important that you also update your          2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)

         loopback interface.          Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
           needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
 20040715:            $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
         The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386  
         kernel builds has been changed again.  The latest version  20080813:
         of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.          MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
           about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
 20040621:  
         Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts  20080802:
         from a clean objdir under tools/*.          A regression in binary compatibility for pthread_mutex_t has
           been fixed. Unfortunately, the price is breaking compatibility
         This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing          for -current.
         to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.  
           Threaded programs (using libpthread) and C++ programs (using
         The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.          libstdc++) compiled after 20070907 and before 20080802 need to
           be recompiled.
 20040516:  
         The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved          One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
         from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.

         upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may  
         encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected  20080126:
         filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as          The posix_fadvise system call has been changed from an assembly

         to the kernel which should discover and warn about it.  See  20070209:
         http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html          The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
           was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
 20030906:          kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread

         kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.          (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
           the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should

         With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.          is the only threaded application in the base system.
         rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \  
         /usr/lib/libdes* before building.  20061214:
           Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
 20030703:          from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
         Texinfo was updated to 4.6.  To avoid failures when trying to          will need to do a "make cleandir" in
         build the included texinfo files, do:                  tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,
                   bin/pax/, bin/ls/, usr.sbin/mtree/, usr.sbin/makefs/,
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo                  usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
         make MKINFO=no dependall install                  as the installation images in distrib/
           in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header
 20030630:          file in the ls sources -- stat_flags.h has been removed.
         Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do  
                 cd share/mk && make install  20061108:
                 cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff          The configure script used in the src/tools/gcc compiler has been
                 make MKMAN=no dependall install          changed to indicate that our libc has ssp support built-in and
         (untested).          does not depend on -lssp and -lssp-nonshared. You'll need to
           make clean in src/tools/gcc first to rebuild the compiler.
 20030516:  
         Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines  20061009:
         were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when          The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
         mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.
         been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks  
         export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,  20060814:
         make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export          The vt, vidcconsole, kbd, and rpckbd drivers on acorn32 have been
         file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.          withdrawn.  Use vidcvideo and pckbd instead.  See the GENERIC
         a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.          kernel configuration for an example.  X servers from the last
           few years should cope.
 20030402:  
         The superblock layout for FFS was changed.  If you have 1.6  20060703:
         fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
         with the first alternate, because they compare too many          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
         fields (even ones that aren't useful).  If possible, upgrade          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
         your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.  
         None of this signals actual filesystem damage.  20060627:
           socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
 20030324:          For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
         sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported.  Since sendmail is          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
         now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"          errors will result.
         mode for most common activities, there is a new config  
         file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.  
         The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf  
         is named netbsd-msp.cf.  Upgrading your regular sendmail  
         configuration file is also strongly advised.  
   
         See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in  
         the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more  
         information.  
   
 20030117:  
         Texinfo was updated to 4.3.  To avoid failures when trying to  
         build the included texinfo files, do:  
   
         cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo  
         make MKINFO=no dependall install  
   
 20021223:  
         The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading  
         "${DESTDIR}" from path names.  
         This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.  
         For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and  
         update tools/mtree, before running make build.  
   
 20021219:  
         CVS repository layout was changed.  See the following for details  
         if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.  
   
         http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-announce/2002/12/19/0000.html  
   
 20021219:  
         install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an  
         alternate location to look up users & groups (instead  
         of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).  
   
         The build system was modified to take advantage of  
         this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you  
         use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and  
         reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.  
   
 20021130:  
         fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.  
         If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes  
         and rebuild libc:  
                 make includes  
                 make do-lib-libc  
         If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"  
         before rebuilding the tools.  
   
 20021126:  
         The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,  
         including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.  
         All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into  
         /usr/include.  
   
 20021121:  
         The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o  
         (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were  
         split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.  
         This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the  
         new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding  
         libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new  
         required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to  
         do this.  
   
         An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries  
         which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that  
         their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.  
   
 20021121:  
         A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been  
         corrected.  
   
         NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by  
         default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking  
         objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the  
         compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"  
         to the assembler.  
   
         Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider  
         old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be  
         incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.  
   
         The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile  
         a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program  
         against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"  
         markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES  
         WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.  
   
         The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of  
         the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for  
         system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are  
         generally available on releng.NetBSD.org.  Any packages you  
         have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled  
         if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.  
   
         If you have questions about this matter, please contact  
         port-arm@NetBSD.org.  
   
 20021011:  
         Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.  
         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.  
   
 20000929:  
         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}.
