                      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.

                     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.

1.325   ! martin     24:        (or a full clean/non-update build).

                     27:        Device tree sources were updated for evbarm.  Some device nodes
                     28:        (in particular, ld(4) devices on the ROCKPro64) will be renumbered.

                     34:        Changed MNT_ACLS to default to POSIX1e ACLs instead of NFSv4
                     35:        ACLs, to be compatible with FreeBSD. If you are using NFSv4 ACLs
                     36:        and have "acls" in /etc/fstab you'll need to change it to "nfs4acls".

                     39:        Updated GMP sources may require cleaning in tools/gmp and/or in
                     40:        external/lgpl3/gmp/lib, particularly if GCC itself does not build.
                     41:
1.318     mrg        42: 20210417:
                     43:        GCC 10 was enabled for several platforms.  If builds fail in either
                     44:        tools/gcc or external/gpl/gcc, first try cleaning those objects and
                     45:        removing the $DESTDIR/usr/include/g++ subdirectory.
                     46:

                     53:        turn up in extra files in the DESTDIR, which should be cleaned.

1.315     mrg        55: 20200925:
                     56:        GNU MPC and MPFR have been updated.  At least MPFR needs cleaning
                     57:        in both the tools and external dirs.
                     58:

                     64:        GCC 9 is coming, and binutils has been updated for MIPS.  This
                     65:        probably requires cleaning the tools/binutils.

1.311     mrg        67: 20200811:
1.312     mrg        68:        GCC updates may require cleaning the objdir.  This may occur
                     69:        due to GCC 7.5 update, GCC 8.4 move to gcc.old, or the upcoming
                     70:        GCC 9 upgrade.

                     77:        Due to a mistake in LIBISPRIVATE handling, .so libraries were
                     78:        created in the build directories and need cleaning.

1.307     mrg        80: 20200311:
                     81:        GCC 8 ports will need cleaning in src/tools/gcc and
                     82:        src/external/gpl3/gcc due to GCC 8.4 update.

                     87:        The same comments as in 20191022 apply.

                     90:        The LLVM update requires a clean rebuild for all architectures using
                     91:        LLVM during the tools build phase (i386, amd64, aarch64).
                     92:
1.304     martin     93: 20191022:

                     96:        when going from a GCC 7 userland to GCC 8. Do a regular
                     97:        build to a different DESTDIR (or preferably: build.sh -U) at least
1.306     christos   98:        once and install sets, or download comp.{tar.xz,tgz} from the
1.304     martin     99:        daily builds and install that before doing the next in-place build.

                    102:        GCC 8.3 was imported.  Builds of src/tools/gcc may fail if
                    103:        old builds with GCC 7 output now uses GCC 8.  Clean this
                    104:        directory, and also clean src/external/gpl3/gcc.
                    105:
1.302     riastrad  106: 20190903:
1.306     christos  107:        Files with names that coincide with existing files' names on
1.302     riastrad  108:        case-insensitive file systems were inadvertently committed, for
                    109:        radeon GPU firmware.  We cannot mark these as obsolete for
                    110:        postinstall to fix, so if you updated src since 2019-08-26, and
                    111:        ran build.sh distribution or ran build.sh release, you must
                    112:        manually delete the following files in your DESTDIR (which is
                    113:        usually $OBJDIR/destir.$ARCH), or from / if you have installed
