favor of the PKG_DBDIR variable in /etc/pkg_install.conf. The purpose
of this is to only have to define the location of the packages database
in a single place and have all other system components pick it up.
pkgdb_dir is still honored if defined and the scripts will spit out a
warning in that case, asking the administrator to migrate to the
PKG_DBDIR setting. We can't remove this compatibility workaround until,
at least, after NetBSD 6 is released.
remains world-readable. Otherwise, it ends up with 600 permissions which
make it unusable for building pkgsrc packages as non-root.
Problem found by wiz@.
value when packages are found (so that the user knows he is not getting the
vulnerability checks).
Why? People is complaining. (And somehow, the argument that NetBSD doesn't
do any network operation by default convinces me that it should continue to
do so.)
But still, I will be adding a question to sysinst to enable/disable this.
packages vulnerability database up to date. This will only fetch the
file from the server if it has changed since the last run.
Add the check_pkg_vulnerabilities and check_pkg_signatures options to the
security script to check that the installed packages are sane.
All of these options are enabled by default but they will only run if
there is, at least, one installed package.
decide whether to make kernel modules: set MKKMOD to no for evbppc.
Use this in etc/Makefile to decide whether to do the "modules"
obsolete sets. Move the ./var/db/obsolete/modules entry from the
"mi" to the "module.mi" file set.
Fixes the build for evbppc.
Discussed with uebayasi@
- nss_mdns renamed to nss_multicast_dns for clarity and less chance of
confusion with nss_mdnsd (see next).
- Support using mdnsd for all unicast too with new nss_mdnsd module
(note: this mode requires an updated mdnsd too, not yet committed)
- Implement resolv.conf "search" directive support. Needed for nss_mdnsd,
potentially useful with nss_multicast_dns (you could now do
"search example.com local" in resolv.conf if you wanted to and it would
act as you might expect)
- Add references in nsswitch.conf man page and sample file
- Implement AI_CANONNAME
- Various bug fixes
is stored in /etc/zpool.cache and it is automatically loaded to kernel from
filesystem. Filesystems are then configured accordingly to their properties
loaded from cache file.
- Enhance the built-in drop-privs support and use it instead of
having the rc.conf do it. Avoids log error on startup.
From OpenSolaris, with enhancements.
- Add dumping of the unicast server list to the DumpStateLog
debugging output, a'la Mac OS X.
- Fix a locking botch that caused warnings in the log.
- Fix FILE leak. From OpenSolaris.
in the release.
Using the modularise "GENERIC" kernel on an existing NetBSD 5.0 system
is difficult and error-prone. The "MONOLITHIC" kernel provides an
easy way to test a new kernel or to upgrade an existing system.
