 This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build  This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
 process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work.  changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
   what to do if something doesn't work.
   
   For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
   using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
   
   Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
   build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
   working around specific problems with build.sh.
   
 For a more detailed description see Makefile.  See also: BUILDING, build.sh, Makefile.
   
 Recent changes:  Recent changes:
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
   20050417:
           postinstall(8) was moved from /etc to /usr/sbin and made part
           of the "base" set, to make it easier to invoke after an
           upgrade.
   
   20050211:
           Fixes to tools/Makefile.gnuhost may cause UPDATE=1 builds in
           some of the cross tools to fail if they use configure. Some configure's
           cache the environment passed in and notice the new environment is
           different and abort. Doing a clean in tools/ should be enough to
           make a build continue.
   
   20050109:
           Since su is using pam by default now, make sure that you have
           /etc/pam.d populated (postinstall will do that automatically
           for you). Otherwise su will fail open (i.e. will not require
           a password).
   
   20041229:
           Make had a path resolution bug that manifested itself as not
           being able to install openpam.3. This bug has been fixed, but
           you might need to rebuild make manually first to get through
           the build.
   
   20041201:
           Userland programs have been changed to use /dev/bpf instead of
           /dev/bpfX. You need to create that device by installing a new
           MAKEDEV and running it, or mv /dev/bpf0 /dev/bpf && rm /dev/bpf[0-9]*
   
   20041006:
   
           A bug was introduced into /bin/sh (var.c rev 1.35) which causes
           variables to not export correctly to subshells in all cases. This
           will cause builds to break if that version of /bin/sh is installed
           on the system. The proper version of /bin/sh can be verified with:
   
           ident /bin/sh | grep var
   
           Any /bin/sh w. version 1.35 will not work and needs to be updated
           before attempting a build.
   
   20041001:
           The ipfilter kernel sources moved from sys/netinet to
           dist/sys/ipf/netinet. Due to the move some Makefile
           dependencies are now dangling requiring a make cleandir
           before they work again (kdump, ktruss, rescue, ipf, and
           ftp-proxy are the victims).
   
   20040715:
           The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
           if sendmail should be started at boot time.  It checks the
           contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
           owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
           to the mail infrastructure have been made.  If no changes
           are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
   
           Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
   
           If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
           local delivery, it is important that you also update your
           sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
           loopback interface.
   
   20040715:
           The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
           kernel builds has been changed again.  The latest version
           of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
   
   20040621:
           Due to the recent rototill of tools/compat it's crucial one starts
           from a clean objdir under tools/*.
   
           This is mostly due to generated files (yacc and lex sources) needing
           to be generated with new rules from bsd.hostprog.mk.
   
           The safest course is to rm -rf all objects under tools before building.
   
   20040516:
           The end-user modifiable X11 configuration has been moved
           from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<dir> to /etc/X11/<dir>.
           Ensure that src and xsrc is up to date, and run
           "make cleandir" in src/x11 before your next build.
   
           postinstall currently doesn't migrate the files from
           /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* to /etc/X11/* although it does
           detect that this needs to occur, so you'll have to
           manually move these files yourself.
   
   20040426:
           Support for the original dynamic sysctl node structure has
           been removed in favor of the newer layout.  This affects
           consumers of the create and delete interface, as well as
           the dynamic discovery mechanism.  This is believed only to
           be the sysctl(8) binary itself, at this point in time, so
           the only effect of this should be that a sysctl binary
           built from sources dated between 2003/12/04 and 2004/03/24
           will not work on a kernel built from sources dated after
           2004/04/25.  If you need a new sysctl binary but build.sh
           does not work, make sure that your revision of
           src/sys/sys/sysctl.h is 1.112 (or later), and then the
           do the following:
   
           cd /usr/src (or wherever your source tree is)
           make USETOOLS=no includes
           cd lib/libc
           make USETOOLS=no dependall install
           cd ../../sbin/sysctl
           make USETOOLS=no dependall install
   
           If you are using older sysctl binary, GNU autoconf would fail to
           identify your machine architecture, and tries to build binary for
           "unknown-unknown-netbsd20F" or something like that.  if that happens,
           make sure to follow the above steps.
   
   20040425:
           The ffs superblock issues listed below under 20040109 and 20030402
           are now automatically addressed by the /etc/rc.d/fixsb script or by
           sysinst when it checks a a filesystem. The manual fsck_ffs -b16 -c4
           invocation mentioned below will continue to work and is now
           automated by those scripts.  Note that under certain circumstances,
           affected filesystems upgraded to a -current kernel first before
           upgrading their userland with the fixsb and fsck_ffs fixes may
           encounter a 'freeing free inode' panic when writing to the affected
           filesystem, so it is a good idea to repair the filesystem as soon as
           possible.  For more details on the fixsb script, see pr install/25138.
   
   20040418:
           statfs(2) and friends have been replaced with statvfs(2). Before
           installing a newly build userland make sure that you are running
           a newly built kernel with COMPAT_20 set. In addition your libc
           build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make
           clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about
           anymore. Manually remove all generated .S sources and objects
           from the libc build directory.
   
   20040326:
           The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
           has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencoded file in CVS
           and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
           to build it.
   
           This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
           building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
   
   20040318:
           A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
           provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
           notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
           ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
           recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
           (recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
   
   20040313:
           On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
           the old wsqms driver is now called qms.  Kernel config files
           will need updating.  See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
           for examples.
   
   20040125:
           On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
           needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
           files.
   
   20040109:
           Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
           added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
           when using those layouts.  If you have been using -current
           since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
           superblock mismatches.  To repair, make sure you have
           an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
           to complete the filesystem upgrade.  A message has
           been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
           See the following discussion for more information:
           http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
   
   20031203:
           New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
           It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
           the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
   
   20031111:
           A newer mkdep is needed.  Error noting that is
                   cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
   
   20031008:
           /usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
           It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
           the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
   
   20031007:
           A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
           of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags.  This should only
           affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
           A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
           should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
           to the kernel which should discover and warn about it.  See
           http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2003/10/07/0005.html
   
   20030906:
           With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
           code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
           kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
   
   20030801:
           With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
           rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
           /usr/lib/libdes* before building.
