20170303:
The entire network stack has been replaced. This requires two updates.
First, BEFORE rebooting, either before or after rebuilding the system,
copy the following new configuration files from /usr/src/etc into /etc:
# cd /usr/src/etc
# cp hosts inetd.conf named.conf nsswitch.conf /etc
Second, AFTER rebooting, set up a new network configuration for your
system. Run netconf(8) and and follow its instructions:
# netconf
If you previously configured your network statically and you forgot its
settings, take a look at /etc/rc.network. That file and /etc/inet.conf
are no longer used now. See the ifconfig.if(5) manual page for more
information about how network settings are specified going forward.
20170223:
Edit your /etc/rc.conf to set rc_configured to YES. If you do not,
your system will refuse to enter multi-user mode after the next reboot.
You can then still make the same edit from single user mode, but that
is not as easy.
20170222:
Because of naming conflicts, the MINIX 3 service(8) utility has been
renamed to "minix-service". After successfully rebuilding the system
*and* rebooting (no earlier!), remove the old service utility:
# rm /bin/service
Better yet, use the postinstall(8) command to remove all files marked
as obsolete. It is not a bad idea to do this every now and then:
# postinstall fix obsolete
..but only ever after the reboot! Either way, deleting the old service
tool will avoid conflicts with the same-named NetBSD utility later on.
20170218:
Before starting a build, you will have to update your master.passwd and
group files in /etc. This is needed because we have switched over from
the old set of MINIX users and groups to the new set of NetBSD users
and groups, as needed by various imported tools. Follow these steps.
1. Make a back-up copy of your old master.passwd and group files:
# cp /etc/master.passwd /etc/master.passwd~
# cp /etc/group /etc/group~
2. Install /usr/src/etc/master.passwd to /etc/master.passwd, and
install /usr/src/etc/group to /etc/group. If you have NOT created
any local user accounts yourself, for example because you are
upgrading a fresh MINIX 3 installation right away, all you need to
do is copy over those two files:
# cp /usr/src/etc/master.passwd /etc/master.passwd
# cp /usr/src/etc/group /etc/group
If you DO have custom user accounts or groups, you need to merge
their lines (and only those!) into the new master.passwd and group
files manually. If you are unsure whether you have such custom
entries, you can use the following commands:
# cd /usr/src
# git show 68804c2:etc/master.passwd | diff -u - /etc/master.passwd
# git show 68804c2:etc/group | diff -u - /etc/group
This should show any changes compared to the old two templates. If
you have such changes, you need to reapply them after copying over
the new two templates. The following procedure shows one approach:
# cd /usr/src
# cp /etc/master.passwd /tmp/my-passwd
# vi /tmp/my-passwd
<remove any lines from /tmp/my-passwd that have no password>
# cp /usr/src/etc/master.passwd /etc/master.passwd
# cat /tmp/my-passwd >> /etc/master.passwd
# rm /tmp/my-passwd
..and follow a similar procedure for /etc/group.
3. Once the new files are in place, update all derived password files:
# pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
If you did everything right so far, the following command:
# postinstall check uid gid
..should show "postinstall checks passed: uid gid" and no failures.
4. Now perform a full build as usual:
# cd /usr/src
# make build
As part of the build, all /dev files will get new proper ownership.
5. There may still be files that are owned by users and groups that now
have been renumbered. It is advisable to run at least the following
three commands to apply the renumbering to the most common files:
# find / -user 2 -exec chown bin \{\} \;
# find / -user 5 -exec chown uucp \{\} \;
# find / -user 9998 -exec chown games \{\} \;
If you have installed custom programs, you may want to check whether
they are not affected by the change. This should be rare, though.
Until a subsequent reboot, various running services will show up in
ps(1) output and /proc as owned by "postfix". This is no problem.
20170122:
MINIX 3 did not import NetBSD's passwd.conf file, which makes the
userland fall back by default to the old, broken UNIX password hashing
algorithm. Among other problems, it truncates passwords to the first
eight characters.
Please install /etc/passwd.conf and reset your passwords with passwd.
20160702:
Some tools are required to generate the locale resources which are
embedded into libintl, which is why you need to run the following:
for t in gencat locale mkcsmapper mkesdb mklocale
do
make -C /usr/src/usr.bin/${t} all install
done
Then the usual "make build".
20150623:
In order to use the new Unix98 PTYs, and to ensure that the test set
continues to pass, please add the following line to your /etc/fstab:
"none /dev/pts ptyfs rw,rslabel=ptyfs 0 0"
20140801:
As the ABI went under heavy changes it is not possible to do a source
upgrade (make build) between:
commit 7ebdb97a28234e0181f93a8b786331dda507482
Date: Sun Feb 16 20:08:20 2014 +0000
and
commit f1deff716ea30b28693c16f8e48ba1a369e2e922
Date: Thu Jul 31 18:36:24 2014 +0200
WARNING: Attempting to do so will break your system beyond repair, and
require a full reinstallation. You have been warned.
