1.123     jmc         3: This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
                      4: changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
                      5: what to do if something doesn't work.
1.1       abs         6:
1.123     jmc         7: For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
                      8: using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.
                      9:
                     10: Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
                     11: build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
                     12: working around specific problems with build.sh.

        !            20:        The update of OpenSSL requires cleaning both the OpenSSL build
        !            21:        directory and DESTDIR.  *Even non-update builds require cleaning
        !            22:        DESTDIR.* Builds done without taking these steps may fail, or in
        !            23:        some cases may succeed and install broken OpenSSL libraries that
        !            24:        cause third-party software to link incorrectly and/or crash.

1.229.2.3! yamt       27:        The database schema for makemandb was changed.  You will
1.229.2.2  yamt       28:        need to update the database using 'makemandb -f' or wait
                     29:        for the next weekly run to fix it.
                     30:
1.229.2.1  yamt       31: 20120319:
                     32:        sys/conf/Makefile.kern.inc has been modified to adjust the
                     33:        size of db_symtab automatically.  You need to update dbsym in
                     34:        your $TOOLDIR to build kernels with options SYMTAB_SPACE.  If
                     35:        you don't want this behavior, add AUTO_SYMTAB_SPACE=no to your
                     36:        mk.conf.

1.229.2.3! yamt       39:        Default for MKCATPAGES changed to NO.  Update builds will fail
        !            40:        unless DESTDIR is cleaned manually.  If you built between 20120207
        !            41:        and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
        !            42:        /var/db/man.db index for apropos.  Running makemandb -f or
1.229.2.1  yamt       43:        the next run of weekly will fix it.

                     46:        If you built between 20111225 and 20111227 you need to remove
                     47:        /usr/lib/libpam.so.4* and /usr/lib/security/*.so.4, since the
                     48:        bump has been reverted.

                     51:        The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
                     52:        means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
                     53:        configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
                     54:        removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.

                     58:        utility (pointers in datastructures in an array, making 32->64
                     59:        bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
                     60:        non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
                     61:        replace your rndctl executable too.

                     65:        changed and their new version is not backward compatible with the old
1.229.2.3! yamt       66:        one.  So ensure that all consumers of these functions (currently:
1.229     jym        67:        quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.

1.227     riastrad   73: 20110806:

                     75:        objdir or DESTDIR for them should be deleted before updating.

                     79:        the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
                     80:        DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
                     81:        sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.

1.225     matt       85:        update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
                     86:        for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there

1.229.2.3! yamt       96:        ordering issues with "make all".  It may be necessary to remove
1.222     plunky     97:        the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
                     98:        if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a

1.220     joerg     103:        the build of individual parts of the tree.  This is handled
                    104:        correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
                    105:        and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.

1.229.2.3! yamt      109:        by default.  It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
