Since sendmail is + now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection" + 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.

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 + + An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries + which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that + their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.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.
