WARNING: this will blind your system to - /etc/shadow, making current user accounts vanish. Updating the - group file is necessary to add a 'users' group so the new stock - useradd will work. - - # make clean world - # cp etc/group /etc/group - - The new shadow file is /etc/master.passwd. Add your old user - accounts back with useradd(8), groups with groupadd(8), and - set a root pw with passwd(1) if you want. Use vipw(8) to edit - /etc/master.passwd if you want. See useradd(8) to get started - with the new pw format. Test your new system now by logging in. - - Once you're satisfied your new system works, remove the old - adduser, and rely exclusively on the new useradd and - master.passwd. - # rm /usr/bin/adduser - # mv /etc/shadow /etc/shadow.orig - - pwdauth is updated so that current binaries (e.g. sshd) will - work with the new pw db. - - By default your new users are in the 'users' group. Add yourself - to the 'operator' group if you want to be able to su without - typing in the password. - -20111109: - fstab format change. /etc/rc reads both formats for a while. - Please convert your /etc/fstab to the new format though as - the system will assume the new format in the future. - - A helper script is in etc/. Example: - # sh etc/newfstab.sh /etc/fstab >newfstab - (Don't redirect to /etc/fstab directly as the shell will - truncate it before it can be read.) - -20110928: - Update your /usr/etc/daily and /etc/man.conf if you - want to fully enjoy the manpage fixes. - -20110817: - To use the new asynchronous version of VFS do: - # BUILDAVFS=yes make cleandepend world - - To switch back to the normal VFS do: - # make cleandepend world - - By default the old VFS and PFS are built and included in the boot - image. AVFS is a work in progress and not yet mature.

Previous to this - revision, you do this by: - # cp commands/acd/acd.descr /usr/lib/descr - Repeating the above commands to make sure your /usr/include - is re-acked is probably a good idea too for going back revisions. - - This change moves - 1. /usr/include to /usr/include.ack - 2. /usr/netbsd/include to /usr/include - - Reduce compiler cases to only two: - 1. ack, a.out, minix headers (moved to /usr/include.ack), - minix libc - 2. gcc/clang, elf, netbsd headers (moved to /usr/include), - netbsd libc (moved to /usr/lib) - - So this obsoletes the /usr/netbsd hierarchy. - - There are no specific UPDATING instructions, but you should know - that starting with this version, gcc/clang use the netbsd libc and - headers system exclusively, and those files are in the standard - locations now. It's the first step to switching completely and - simplifying building. - -20110629: - Rebuild m4: - make -C usr.bin/m4 install - -20110629: - You must install clang. By default, it is used to build the - elf libraries and some userland utilities. - -20110628: - Since buildworld will also build the elf-libraries, you - must follow the process in - http://wiki.minix3.org/en/UsersGuide/ELFSwitch - -20110624: - (Next release bumped to MINIX 3.2.0.) - ELF support in the base system. /usr/lib libraries - will be in ELF format once you upgrade. - These were know as 'gcc format', but now more properly refered - to as 'elf format,' as they are shared between gcc and clang. - To start producing ELF, please see: - http://wiki.minix3.org/en/UsersGuide/ELFSwitch - - To create the /usr/netbsd hierarchy: - # cd /usr/src - # umount /proc - # make etcfiles - # mount -e -t procfs none /proc - -20110225: - Create ddekit include dirs: - mkdir -p /usr/include/ddekit/minix - -20100921: - gcc format libraries are created in /usr/lib now, - so throw out /usr/gnu/lib/ if you want to make sure you - don't pick up the old ones. - (with pkgsrc and this, all of /usr/gnu is obsolete now.) - -20100914: - mkdir /proc - chmod 555 /proc - -20100827: - From now on, the rc scripts, recovery scripts and system.conf in /etc - and /usr/etc are updated automatically by make world. If you want to - change them, do so in the source tree. If you make changes to your - settings in /etc and /usr/etc, merge them into the the source tree - before issuing a make world. - -20100805: - mkfs and fsck have been renamed to mkfs.mfs and fsck.mfs, respectively. - Moreover, they have been moved to /sbin, which is by default not in - PATH.

Use only newly compiled images (make clean world - the first time) or download and install the latest ISO. -20100705: - /usr/src/etc/usr/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /usr/etc/rc. - /usr/src/etc/rc updated: copy it (or merge it) to /etc/rc. - Perform some cleanup (optional): - # rm -f /sbin/tty /sbin/log -20100630: - protocol change between service and rs: be sure to compile commands - together with the system image and don't use the new userspace with - an old image (or vice versa); it is recommended to replace - /boot/image_big with the newly compiled image to keep option 1 in the - boot menu working. -20100625: - /etc/mk has been moved to /usr/share/mk.
