 20021121:  20090709:
         The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o          Native Xorg was upgraded again.  Builds will probably fail again
         (and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were          without a clean objdir, at least for src/external/mit/xorg.
         split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.  
         This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the  20090616:
         new libraries are installed.  The process of rebuilding          Native Xorg was upgraded.  Builds will need a clean objdir for
         libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new          src/external/mit/xorg.  Upgrading a system from sets will not
         required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to          work properly yet as the /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
         do this.          subdirectory has been changed into a file, and this needs to
           be manually "rm -r"'ed before installing xbase.tgz.
         An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries  
         which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that  20090501:
         their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.          Several new functions were added to string.h/libc, and this
           can cause autoconf problems during the tool build for people
 20021121:          who fail to clean out their tools objects properly. If you

         corrected.          failure during the tool build, clean out all your tools
           objects and start again.
         NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by  
         default.  However, the assembler lacked support for marking  20090325:
         objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the          The i386 port was switched to i486 default toolchain.  This requires

         to the assembler.  
   20090126:
         Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider          The __posix_fadvise50 system call changed assembly stub type. You need to
         old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be          'rm -f __posix_fadvise50.*' in the libc build directory to avoid using
         incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.          the old assembly stub.
   
         The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile  20090202:
         a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program          pkg_install now depends on the pkgdb cache for automatic conflict
         against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"          detection.  It is recommented to rebuild the cache with
         markings.  ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES          ``pkg_admin rebuild''.
         WILL CONTINUE TO WORK PROPERLY.  
   20090110:
         The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of          time_t and dev_t have been bumped to 64 bit quantities. To upgrade:
         the libraries on the system.  The easiest way to do this for          1. Make sure your kernel has COMPAT_50 in it. Build and install.
         system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; there are             This is needed even in the MODULAR kernel because there is
         generally available on releng.netbsd.org.  Any packages you             conditionally compiled code in rtsock.c.
         have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled          2. make sure build.sh completes and the binaries in a chroot work
         if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.             before installing.
           3. If you don't use build.sh and you build directly to root, and
         If you have questions about this matter, please contact             your build breaks in the middle, don't despair. Make sure headers
         port-arm@netbsd.org.             are installed properly, and start building libraries first libc
              and libutil, install them and then continue building all the
 20021011:             libraries in src/lib and src/gnu/lib and install them. Once
         Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.             the new libraries are installed, you can restart the build.
         Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace          4. If you compile packages and you notice link time warnings,
         to be rebuild.             rebuild the required packages to update their shared libraries.
              Any package you rebuild will require rebuilding all the packages
 20021010:             that depend on it.
         The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register          5. Next time you run pwd_mkdb with the new binary, the file

         kernel.             lastlogx(5)) have been versioned, and there is a heuristic
              for utmp. You are better off removing the old files after
 20021009:             upgrading.  The automated clearing of /var/run during
         A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),             boot, and the automated rotating of files in /var/log by

         before building a new kernel.          8. Application software that writes time_t to binary files on
              disk will break or need attention. Most notably: if you are
 20021001:             using PostgreSQL < 8.4, you need to dump your databases,
         The i386mp branch has been merged.  To compile a kernel, users             rebuild PostgreSQL with the new time_t, then restore.
         will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration

         options         MULTIPROCESSOR          swapnetbsd.o - has changed format.  You need to rebuild config
         options         COM_MPLOCK          (done automatically by build.sh) and then you need to rerun
           config on all kernel configuration files before rebuilding those
 20020922:          kernels.
         MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that  
         certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared  20081205:
         linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin          If you build with MKX11=no, you should remove /etc/rc.d/xdm and
         and /sbin are dynamically linked.          /etc/rc.d/xfs from DESTDIR because those files were moved to the xetc
         If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that          set and will appear as extra files for MKX11=no update builds.
         you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,  
         with:  20081122:
                 make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so          On i386, various kernel options(4) in GENERIC including
           file systems have been disabled and moved into kernel modules.
 20020917:          Before trying a new GENERIC kernel, you have to prepare the
         USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:          following files as well as a new GENERIC kernel:
             -   TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which  
                 there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,          - build and install kernel modules from src/sys/modules
                 x86_64).  
             -   EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the          - install the latest bootloader, which will load a module
                 root ofan external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu).  This            for the file system from which the kernel is loaded automatically
                 enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING  
                 platforms.          If you have to load your kernel from a file system which is not of
           the same type as the root file system, you have to load the necessary
 20020906:          file system module manually on the boot prompt or in the boot.cfg file.
         gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and  
         reinstall usr.sbin/config before build the kernel.  20080827:
           If you built and installed a libc from sources between
 20020822:          2008/08/20 and 2008/08/26 you got a broken strtouq(3)
         Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)          which results in false errors reported by lint(1).
         are now provided in /rescue.          Since this breaks the libc build itself, manual help is
           needed -- lint must be disabled temporarily, e.g.:
         To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter            $ (cd lib/libc && make MKLINT=no dependall install)
         what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built  
         from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).  20080813:
           MKDEBUG build was broken because the .depend files did not know
 20020820:          about .go files. You need to remove all .depend files and rebuild.
         crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program  
         is statically linked.  20080731:
           WAPBL (metadata journaling support) has been added, but at this

           and userland (fsck_ffs in particular).  Please make sure you
 20020515:          don't use a journaled filesystem with an older kernel/userland,
         sshd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in, or sshd          especially an uncleanly mounted journaled filesystem.  WAPBL
         will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)          also requires the super block to be in the UFS2 format.  You
           can use fsck_ffs -c 4 to update the superblock format.
         Add the following into /etc/group:  
   20080721:
         sshd:*:16:          Assembler warnings are now fatal if $WARNS>0 and $NOGCCERROR
           isn't defined.
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  
   20080531:
         sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin          The ioctl number of DRVSUSPENDDEV command on /dev/drvctl changed
           from 125 (conflicted with DRVCTLCOMMAND) to 129. The drvctl(8)

 20020311:

         Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas  
         so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all  20071209:
         the VAX assembly files.          The acpiec(4) driver has been split into two attachments. If you
           get ACPI errors before the attachment, please update your kernel

         ntpd user/group has been added.  Need to hand add this in or builds  20071115:

           argument specified in the kernel configuration file is not valid
         Add the following into /etc/group:          anymore. The itesio(4) driver now uses the Super I/O address port
           rather than the EC address port. Please update your kernel
         ntpd:*:15:          configuration file appropriately or see GENERIC for more details.
   
         and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):  20071028:
           The pccons(4) driver has been removed from the NetBSD/shark port.
         ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin          You need to update any custom kernel configuration file you have
           to remove any references to pccons (which includes removing the
 20011207:          now useless XSERVER option) and replace them with the correct
           entries for the wscons driver.  See the GENERIC configuration file

           A latent bug in dhclient/dhcpd that caused it to be unable to
         To fix:          enumerate interfaces was fixed.  The bug began to cause
           problems after 20070911 when the kernel's SIOCGIFCONF
         Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)          implementation was repaired.  From 20070529 to 20070911 racoon
         Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)          could not enumerate interfaces.  (These are noted because
           normal kernel/userspace version matching hygiene is not
         gnu/lib/libgcc          sufficient to avoid this problem.)  Ensure that both kernel
         gnu/lib/libstdc++          and userland are from after 20070913.
   
         After this a snapshot will be able to be built.  20070703:

         point is broken.  20070422:
           The way OS emulations lookup filenames inside the emulation root

         kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,  
         (i.e., build.sh -t) or  (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"  20060703:
         from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.          MPACPI is no more. We always configure PCI interrupts using ACPI
         See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.          if we have an ACPI kernel. The option MPACPI_SCANPCI has been renamed
         [updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]          to ACPI_SCANPCI. Thanks to work from fvdl.
   
 20010731:  20060627:
         Bootloader update on ELF platforms.  DDB in kernels from before          socket(2) has changed, and its system call has been versioned.
         this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer          For userlands with the old version of socket(2), make sure that
         bootloaders.          your kernel has 'options COMPAT_30' set, or else 'bad system call'
           errors will result.
 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}.
