 20041001:  20100520:
         The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to          The location of the xkb compiled descriptions has changed. Please
         dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile          remove usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled from your $DESTDIR.
         dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir  
         before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and  
         ftp-proxy are the victims).  20100222:
           The shared objects file extension has been changed from .so to
 20040715:          .pico, in order to avoid conflicts with shared libraries names
         The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine          libXX.so.  All now stale regular .so files can be removed from
         if sendmail should be started at boot time.  It checks the          your object directories.
         contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the  
         owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes  20100204:
         to the mail infrastructure have been made.  If no changes          The termcap database has been removed from the sources,
         are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.          but has not been marked obsolete so it is not removed
           from the system when upgrading.
         Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.          As such, you will need to remove them from your object
           and destination directories.
         If you are only using sendmail by default and only for  
         local delivery, it is important that you also update your  20091101:

 20040715:          src/tools/lex/ and src/usr.bin/lex/.
         The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386  
         kernel builds has been changed again.  The latest version  20091001:
         of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.          On amd64 you must rebuild tools (to get the new binutils)
           before building a kernel, or the build fails on cpufunc.S.
 20040621:  
         Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts  20091001:
         from a clean objdir under tools/*.          An error will create a ./usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb
           symlink, failing the build.  Delete the link, and the subdir
         This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing          it is in, and retry your build.
         to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.  
   20090718:
         The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.          libc build changed so that strchr() provides the extra entry
           point for index(). Update build of libc.a (and libc_pic.a)
 20040516:          may fail because the archive contains the unwanted index.o.
         The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved          (Similarly for strrchr() and rindex().)
         from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.

         "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again

         do the following:          The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires
           cleaning your src/tools directory and $TOOLDIR and rebuilding them.

         make sure to follow the above steps.  
   20090110:
 20040425:          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
         The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402          1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
         are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by             This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is

              the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
 20040418:          4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
         statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before             rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.

         anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects          6. The utmpx/wtmpx files (/var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx, see
         from the libc build directory.             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
              for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after

         to build it.          7. The optional accounting file (/var/account/acct, see
              accton(8)) has not been versioned, and will need to be
         This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when             removed.  The automatic rotation of the accounting file by
         building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.             /etc/daily limits the bad consequences of failure to remove
              the file.
 20040318:          8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
         A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without             disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
         provision of backwards compatibility, after several public             using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
         notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher             rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
         ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and  
         recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See  20081219:
         (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)          config(1) has been updated, and one of the files it creates -
           swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config

         will need updating.  See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf  
         for examples.  20081205:

         files.  20081122:
           On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including

         since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal          - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
         superblock mismatches.  To repair, make sure you have  
         an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4          - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
         to complete the filesystem upgrade.  A message has            for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
         been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.  
         See the following discussion for more information:          If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
         http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html          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.
 20031203:  
         New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.  20080827:
         It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that          If you built and installed a libc from sources between
         the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.          2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
           which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
 20031111:          Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
         A newer mkdep is needed.  Error noting that is          needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
                 cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --            $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
   
 20031008:  20080813:

         http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html  
           One way to find affected pkgsrc packages:
 20030906:  
         With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline            $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libpthread /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
         code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running            $ grep REQUIRES=/usr/lib/libstdc++ /var/db/pkg/*/+BUILD_INFO
         kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.  
   20080731:
 20030801:          WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this
         With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.          time isn't backwards compatible with pre-WAPBL aware kernels

         Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines            $ (cd sbin/drvctl/ && nbmake-$arch all)

 20021121:  
         The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o  20070319:

         A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been  
         corrected.  20070209:
           The threading model was changed when the newlock2 branch
         NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by          was merged to NetBSD-current.  If you boot with a new
         default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking          kernel (version 4.99.10), then you also need a new pthread
         objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the          library (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.7).  If you boot with
         compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"          an old kernel, then you need the old pthread library
         to the assembler.          (/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.6).  Provided you keep the kernel and
           the pthread library in sync, old threaded applications should
         Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider          continue to work with an old or new kernel.  Note that named(8)
         old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be          is the only threaded application in the base system.
         incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.  
   20061214:
         The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile          Following the move of string_to_flags() and flags_to_string()
         a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program          from the bin/ls/ sources to libutil, users doing UPDATE builds
         against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"          will need to do a "make cleandir" in
         markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES                  tools/mtree/, tools/makefs/, tools/binstall/, tools/pax/,

                   usr.bin/xinstall/, libexec/ftpd/, rescue/, as well
         The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of                  as the installation images in distrib/
         the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for          in order to excise stale references to the old stat_flags.h header

 20021011:  20061009:
         Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.          The sysctl variables net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.newreno are no longer
         Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace          available. Use net.inet{,6}.tcp{,6}.congctl.selected instead.

 20021009:          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
         A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed

         kernel.  20060627:
           socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
 20021003:          For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
         Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'

         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}.
