|
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: |
|
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 USE_TOOLS==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An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries |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. |
|
|
|

|
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. |

|
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. |
|

gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and |
|

|
|
|
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 |
|

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). |
