|
Groff was update to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do |
|
cd share/mk && make install |
|
cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff |
|
make MKMAN=no dependall install |
|
(untested). |
|
|

|
Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines |
|
were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when |
|
mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already |
|
been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks |
|
export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel, |
|
make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export |
|
file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e. |
|
a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel. |
|
|
|
20030402: |
|
The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6 |
|
fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch |
|
with the first alternate, because they compare too many |
|
fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade |
|
your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel. |
|
None of this signals actual filesystem damage. |
|
|
|
20030324: |
|
sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. 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. 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. |
|

|
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. |

|
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 |
