 Download the binary installation files onto another machine, and burn a CD

If our intent was to make installation a living hell, then yes this an excellent

Everyone from the guru to the warez monkey understands burning an ISO.

No-one forces you to upgrade you systems. Partial upgrades are something that are
nice when they work, but understood when they don't.

We don't accept bug reports (typically) when a person hasn't upgraded their world,
kernel, and modules. I don't understand why we're accepting preemptive bitching.

 Some users do install snapshots and/or releases.  Snap shots occur on a
 regular basis and are affected by this change in API.

If they use the module from the same snapshot/release, it's not a problem.

 Ahh.. the problem occurs with user Z running snap 4.0-stable 4/30 when trying
 to use vendor X module for 4.0-release.  Get it??

When the requirements for software are "FooBaz Version 1.2" that means "FooBaz Version
1.2".

If the vendor markets software as "FreeBSD version 4.0 or later", that's their problem.

The entire point is that somewhere the user has decided to upgrade their system, and
they need to know what the consequences are before taking the plunge. If they upgrade
their system half-ass (kernel, but not modules) they are digging their own grave.

If they have 3rd party modules, they need to understand that those modules may not
work if you're tracking changes. That's life. I don't expect my 3rd party voodoo 3000
drivers for Win98 to work in Win2000 either.

If you would use the "total" field to monitor diskusage on / then you get

Think about doing something like

 WORLDTMP is a place to *install* binaries we made during the build. We
 don't install in /usr.bin or /usr.sbin; we install in /usr/bin and
 /usr/sbin resp.

And then we try and install the kernel using those utilties that are in

You are wrong, but we'll forgive you. :-

from bridge(4):

 net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw

 Set to 1 to enable ipfw filtering on bridged packets.  Note that ipfw
 rules only apply to IP packets.

from ipfw(8):

 Each incoming or outgoing packet is passed through the ipfw rules.  If
 host is acting as a gateway, packets forwarded by the gateway are pro-
 cessed by ipfw twice.  In case a host is acting as a bridge, packets for-
 warded by the bridge are processed by ipfw once.

the 'bridged' keyword can be used to match only bridged packets, so:

ipfw add allow tcp from any to any 22 setup bridged
ipfw add allow tcp from any 22 to any established bridged

would allow ssh over a bridge, but in the absence of other rules, wouldn't
allow it to the actual machine (or if the machine is also a router(?!) it
wouldn't route ssh sessions either.)

Stop right here. If you didn't compile IPDIVERT in the kernel, the hooks aren't
in the tcp/ip stack and you're screwed.

Figuring out a way to fix this is on my TODO list, though I don't have any ideas that
don't cost a performance hit for non-DIVERT users.

 Is there a way to cause the ipfw module to default to a different policy upon

 For now it appears that I am locked out, until I can access the console.

I'll renew my annoyance with the fact that we just bumped this without

to save functionality without having to bump the version number[1]. We also
never propogated this bump to RELENG_4, so the release shipped with the
worst of both worlds.

To answer your question, though:

I'd suggest just symlinking libc.so.4 to libc.so.5, nothing terrible

 Think of it as an opportunity :-)

My timesheet for last week had 100+ hours, I don't need more work. :-

Okay, I have cardbus versions of this card too, if you need those for

PNPBIOS + Dell PowerEdge = panic()

Hola,

As the subject indicated PNPBIOS and Dell PowerEdge servers seem
to be a recipe for disaster. This doesn't bother me too terribly
much as I don't need PNPBIOS for anything on this machine, but I
figured the new-bus folks didn't have enough to do, so I'd help.

This machine is a dual pIII/450 w/512MB. This is not SMP specific, BTW.

This post exposes my DDB and newbus stupidity. If this was gdb, 
I'd at least try and pull out some sort of relevent data. I have
a guess that the sheer amount/range of the ports and iomem has
something to do with it. That or the fact one starts with 0.

Thanks and e-mail me privatly or catch me on IRC (bfumerola) if
you want me to try things with this server.

 The problem here is that the i386 nexus_alloc_resource() unconditionally 
 calls pmap_mapdev() to map any memory-type resource into the kernel.  
 This is definitely a bad idea; IMHO we should only do this when the 
 resource is actually activated (and obviously free it when deactivated).
 
 Commentary?  Should I just commit the change and see what happens? 8)

Naturally, I know nothing of the implications, but I'd certainly test
patches since I can reproduce this with the greatest of ease.

Do the above and try and figure out and track down if the marketing information

Re: when is FreeBSD-4.0 up for release ?

 So every little date event needs a confirmation??   Why isn't the fact
 that JKH didn't resend the event not mean that it is in effect?

David,

It's been previously stated that the feature freeze (is/was) planned
for Jan 15 and would take effect when jkh made the announcement. If he
hasn't made the announcement committers (and submitters like Will) are to
assume that it hasn't taken place.

This is the normal for announcements for freezes for as long as I've been
a committer, or as long as I can remember, whichever is shorter.

 Source tree is as of Feb 1st, so only 24hrs old, but I don't recall seeing

Without looking at the specifics, I'd say that libcom_err depends on one
of the new features of install-info (and the new version hasn't been merged
from current). yet another thing to add to the bootstrap tools (or whatever
they've called, I haven't followed the naming convention thread..)

Re: /usr/src/Makefile.inc1: make update

2000-02-07 Thread Bill Fumerola

On Mon, Feb 07, 2000 at 10:31:17PM +0100, Christian Weisgerber wrote:

 Why does "make update" in /usr/src also include a cvsup of /usr/ports?
 
 Since /usr/ports and /usr/docs have Makefiles and "update" targets
 of their own, and the alternative update by cvs doesn't cover
 /usr/ports either, I suggest to remove the /usr/ports cvsup from
 Makefile.inc1's "update" target.

As the person who implemented PORTSSUPFILE, I'd object. Originally SUPFILE2 was
set to the ports-supfile, so to preserve original behavior (that is, updating
ports along with src/) that stayed in.

To some of us, updating both at the same time is rather convinient as well.

 Agreed. This is where the depth of the discussion should take place.
 
  This is NOT a -current issue!! 
 I beg to differ. Any significant change to the status-quo is a -current issue.
 
 To adopt ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE without widespread public notice is just
 inviting grumblings of "backroom politics". Just see what happens if the City
 Council votes to close Main Street and explains " this was discussed at a Public
 Hearing before the Public Works Commission"
 
 And some of us, myself included, are advocating making FreeBSD into a small set
 of ports!
 
 I guess that doesn't affect very many people :-)

You are very wrong. We are not "adopting significant change", we are discussing
possibilities. Discussions related to ports/packages belong on freebsd-ports.

Please read the mail charters.

PS. The reason that "Public Works Commissions" of the world exist is because
City Councils trust their departments to make informed reccomendations.

I think that's jumping to conclusions a little too quickly.

Jordan, we are eliminating a LOT more future PRs and FAQs by using this
method. A few permission and installation oversights (no software can ever
be tested on every possible instance.) should not constitute removal of
the whole idea.
