. file- and functionality-compatible with previous situation
(FreeBSD csu) (with a crt1.o -> crt0.o symlink in /usr/lib)
. harmonizes source with netbsd
. harmonizes linker invocation (e.g. clang) with netbsd
. helpful to get some arm code in there for the arm port project
. common/include/arch/i386 is not actually an imported
sys/arch/i386/include but leftover Minix files;
remove and move to include/
. move include/ufs to sys/ufs, where it came from, now that
we have a sys/ hierarchy
. move mdocml/ to external/bsd/, now we have that
. single sys/arch/i386/stand/ import for boot stuff
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.
Changes in this commit:
. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
. test compile fix
. harmonize includes
. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
less on the state of the machine making them now.
. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
. reduce mtree
Kernels and system services are stored in a single directory in the
/boot/minix/ and rotated like /boot/images. /boot/minix_latest slink
is created automatically.
System serives are prefixed by "modNN_" to allow to easily load them
using "mod*" pattern.
Also following functionality was added:
- Add install_master to the installboot from NetBSD.
- Check if enough space for bootxx.
Old installboot was renamed to installboot_minix.
. detect both formats in /etc/rc
. generate new format in setup
. obsoletes /etc/fstab.local: everything can go in /etc/fstab
. put shutdown/reboot/halt and a copy of /usr/adm/wtmp
(/etc/wtmp) on root FS so that we can do shutdown checks before
mounting /usr
. new fstab format makes getfsent() and friends work
. add bsd-style MLINKS to minix man set, restoring aliases
(e.g. man add64 -> int64)
. update daily cron script to run makewhatis and restore makewhatis
in man Makefile (makedb), restores functionality of man -k
. netbsd imports of man, mdocml, makewhatis, libutil, apropos
. update man.conf with manpage locations, restoring man [-s] <section>
. throws out some obsolete manpages
. speeds up mkdep (i.e. world builds) significantly
. have to keep minix /bin/sed for a while because previous
usr/etc/rc depends on it
. force mkdep to use /usr/bin/sed for speedup
. Feature to do a 'release' into a permanent
and usable FS hierarchy, usable with chroot
. Just like the temporary staging hierarchy really
. Useful to checking out and building the latest
version of minix from a host minix; to
(1) make an uptodate minix jail, and
(2) make a sterile, reproducible jail environment, and
(3) use as disposable environment in which moving /usr/pkg
is ok
(i.e. pkgsrc bulk builds)
. if the build target is invoked again for the install target, the
stack sizes aren't set properly. A workaround is to only build
and not install the servers. (Installing them doesn't really make
sense anyway.)
Add two makefiles to manage compiling packages with NetBSD libc.
* minix.libc.mk contains the proper CFLAGS/LDFLAGS
* pkgsrchooks.mk contains the logic for setting the flags.
* update bmake
Several pkg-config files were added to help pkgsrc learn about
the c, minlib, and compat_minix libraries.
3 sets of libraries are built now:
. ack: all libraries that ack can compile (/usr/lib/i386/)
. clang+elf: all libraries with minix headers (/usr/lib/)
. clang+elf: all libraries with netbsd headers (/usr/netbsd/)
Once everything can be compiled with netbsd libraries and headers, the
/usr/netbsd hierarchy will be obsolete and its libraries compiled with
netbsd headers will be installed in /usr/lib, and its headers
in /usr/include. (i.e. minix libc and current minix headers set
will be gone.)
To use the NetBSD libc system (libraries + headers) before
it is the default libc, see:
http://wiki.minix3.org/en/DevelopersGuide/UsingNetBSDCode
This wiki page also documents the maintenance of the patch
files of minix-specific changes to imported NetBSD code.
Changes in this commit:
. libsys: Add NBSD compilation and create a safe NBSD-based libc.
. Port rest of libraries (except libddekit) to new header system.
. Enable compilation of libddekit with new headers.
. Enable kernel compilation with new headers.
. Enable drivers compilation with new headers.
. Port legacy commands to new headers and libc.
. Port servers to new headers.
. Add <sys/sigcontext.h> in compat library.
. Remove dependency file in tree.
. Enable compilation of common/lib/libc/atomic in libsys
. Do not generate RCSID strings in libc.
. Temporarily disable zoneinfo as they are incompatible with NetBSD format
. obj-nbsd for .gitignore
. Procfs: use only integer arithmetic. (Antoine Leca)
. Increase ramdisk size to create NBSD-based images.
. Remove INCSYMLINKS handling hack.
. Add nbsd_include/sys/exec_elf.h
. Enable ELF compilation with NBSD libc.
. Add 'make nbsdsrc' in tools to download reference NetBSD sources.
. Automate minix-port.patch creation.
. Avoid using fstavfs() as it is *extremely* slow and unneeded.
. Set err() as PRIVATE to avoid name clash with libc.
. [NBSD] servers/vm: remove compilation warnings.
. u32 is not a long in NBSD headers.
. UPDATING info on netbsd hierarchy
. commands fixes for netbsd libc
and minor fixes:
. add ack/clean target to lib, 'unify' clean target
. add includes as library dependency
. mk: exclude warning options clang doesn't have in non-gcc
. set -e in lib/*.sh build files
. clang compile error circumvention (disable NOASSERTS for release builds)
. when switching from the base pkg_install to the pkgin pkg_install,
the version number changed, causing a compatability problem if the
old base system binary was inadvertently left behind.
. this change checks for that situation by specifically invoking
the pkgin instance of pkg_install and telling the user to install
it if it doesn't exist.
