Originally, MKCRYPTO was introduced because the United States
classified cryptography as a munition and restricted its export. The
export controls were substantially relaxed fifteen years ago, and are
essentially irrelevant for software with published source code.
In the intervening time, nobody bothered to remove the option after
its motivation -- the US export restriction -- was eliminated. I'm
not aware of any other operating system that has a similar option; I
expect it is mainly out of apathy for churn that we still have it.
Today, cryptography is an essential part of modern computing -- you
can't use the internet responsibly without cryptography.
The position of the TNF board of directors is that TNF makes no
representation that MKCRYPTO=no satisfies any country's cryptography
regulations.
My personal position is that the availability of cryptography is a
basic human right; that any local laws restricting it to a privileged
few are fundamentally immoral; and that it is wrong for developers to
spend effort crippling cryptography to work around such laws.
As proposed on tech-crypto, tech-security, and tech-userlevel to no
objections:

P.S. Reviewing all the uses of MKCRYPTO in src revealed a lot of
*bad* crypto that was conditional on it, e.g. DES in telnet... That
should probably be removed too, but on the grounds that it is bad,
not on the grounds that it is (nominally) crypto.
Atffile generation.
This is needed to be able to generate Kyuafiles (coming later), as these
clearly differentiate between the definition of test programs and the
recursion into other subdirectories (or files).
In particular: rename ATFFILE_EXTRA_TPS to ATFFILE_EXTRA_SUBDIRS and
change the logic in bsd.test.mk to keep track of subdirectories aside from
_TESTS when creating the Atffile.
This fixes a problem in MKKYUA=no builds in which the kyua-testers
subdirectory in /usr/tests was created unconditionally and atf-run was
confused because such subdirectory didn't have an Atffile of its own.
(Due to the way our directory creation and file lists work, I'm not
sure it's possible to just not "install" the empty directory. But
that'd be an alternative to this.)
Auto-generating the Atffile causes it to only list the subdirectories
listed by the Makefile, which can vary depending on various MK* options.
Problem found by martin@.
This is to match the layout of the installed and source files more closely.
While doing this, honor the MKSHARE variable, as the files these tests
validate are only installed when MKSHARE=yes.
The main goal of this change is to simplify the further addition of test
cases for the share/mk infrastructure by adding a few placeholder test
programs to the tests tree.
To not leave these test programs empty, I have added a bunch of extremely
simple test cases to them.
more than create an empty file system, grow it, and makes sure fsck
finds the result clean. The 'shrink' test does likewise for shrinking,
but is an expected failure at the moment due to PR bin/44177.
subcommands and the optional argument passing to them from the command
line.
Triggered by the modification of the run_rc_command function in rc.subr
to allow passing in extra parameters to the commands defined in rc.d
scripts.
The algorithm used is the Jenkins hash. The name (mi_vector_hash)
reflects the nature of the hash function.
Add glue for libc ATF tests and include a test case to make sure that
(mis)alignment and endianess are handled correctly.
Bump libc minor to 169.
This change converts all the existing regression tests in regress/games
to the new framework provided by atf. As a side effect, this also moves
all the tests programs in regress/games to tests/games.
This change converts all the existing regression tests in
regress/sys/fs/tmpfs to the new framework provided by atf. As a side
effect, this also moves all the tests programs in regress/sys/fs/tmpfs to
tests/fs/tmpfs.
This change converts all the existing regression tests in regress/bin to
the new framework provided by atf. As a side effect, this also moves all
the tests programs in regress/bin to tests/util, as they all belong to
utilities installed by the base-util-root package.
This adds a new tests.tgz set to releases which includes all the tests
for the system. It is important to note that this set does not rely on
comp.tgz: a user of the system can run the tests without having the
development tools installed, which can be useful in a production machine.
