.Ss "What is NetBSD?"
|
|
.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Operating System is a fully functional
|
|
.Tn Open Source
|
|
UN*X-like operating system derived from the Berkeley Networking
|
|
Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources.
|
|
.Nx
|
|
runs on twenty different system architectures featuring eight distinct
|
|
families of CPUs, and is being ported to more. The
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
release contains complete binary releases for fourteen different
|
|
machine types. (The six remaining are not fully supported at this time
|
|
and are thus not part of the binary distribution. For information on
|
|
them, please see the NetBSD web site at
|
|
.Lk http://www.netbsd.org/ )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nx
|
|
is a completely integrated system.
|
|
In addition to its highly portable, high performance kernel,
|
|
.Nx
|
|
features a complete set of user utilities, compilers for several
|
|
languages, The X Window System,
|
|
and numerous other tools, all accompanied by full source code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\" XXX Should we include some text here about NetBSD's license
|
|
.\" policies and how commercial-friendly it is?
|
|
.Nx
|
|
is a creation of the members of the Internet community.
|
|
Without the unique cooperation and coordination the net makes
|
|
possible, it's likely that
|
|
.Nx
|
|
wouldn't exist.
|
|
.Ss Changes Since The Last Release
|
|
.if \n[_FOR_RELEASE] \{\
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
release is a substantial improvement over its predecessors. We have
|
|
provided numerous significant functional enhancements, including
|
|
support for many new devices, integration of hundreds of bug fixes,
|
|
new and updated kernel subsystems, and many userland enhancements. The
|
|
results of these improvements is a stable operating system fit for
|
|
production use that rivals most commercially available systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is impossible to completely summarize the nearly two years of
|
|
development that went into the
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
release. Some highlights include:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Substantial improvements in the TCP/IP implementation, including
|
|
numerous performance enhancements and bug fixes by Jason Thorpe and
|
|
others.
|
|
.It
|
|
A new, high efficiency kernel memory pool allocator by Paul
|
|
Kranenburg. This has been integrated into most kernel subsystems.
|
|
.It
|
|
A new, totally rewritten virtual memory subsystem, UVM, created by
|
|
Chuck Cranor, which is substantially cleaner and better performing
|
|
than the old Mach derived VM subsystem.
|
|
.It
|
|
Improved POSIX and XPG standards compliance.
|
|
.It
|
|
Completion of the integration of all remaining
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
Lite-2 kernel improvements and bug fixes that had not been previously
|
|
integrated. (Integration of all userland components was completed
|
|
before
|
|
.Nx 1.3 )
|
|
.It
|
|
Several new ports, including macppc, bebox, sparc64, next68k, and
|
|
others, have been integrated into the source tree.
|
|
.It
|
|
The system compilers have been upgraded to egcs 1.1.1, and the system
|
|
compiler toolchain now (mostly) uses the latest versions of GNU
|
|
binutils instead of the obsolete versions left over from
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
Lite.
|
|
.It
|
|
Everyone's favorite
|
|
.Xr ftp 1
|
|
client has been improved even further. See the man page for details.
|
|
.It
|
|
A new architecture independent console driver,
|
|
.Xr wscons 4 ,
|
|
has been integrated into many ports.
|
|
.It
|
|
Numerous improvements have been made to the audio subsystem support,
|
|
including support for MIDI device drivers.
|
|
.It
|
|
Linux compatibility support has been improved.
|
|
.It
|
|
A number of scheduler enhancements have yielded dramatic
|
|
improvements in interactive performance and better control
|
|
of background tasks.
|
|
.It
|
|
Several network tunneling protocols, including GRE and IP in IP, have
|
|
been implemented.
|
|
.It
|
|
Kernel support for the CODA distributed file system has been added.
|
|
.It
|
|
Manuel Bouyer completed major changes to the IDE support. It is now
|
|
architecture independent. Major changes have been made to the IDE code
|
|
for better error handling, improved ATAPI support, 32 bit data I/O
|
|
support and bus-master DMA support on PCI IDE controllers.
|
|
.It
|
|
Lennart Augustsson has added full USB support, permitting the use of a
|
|
wide variety of Universal Serial Bus peripherals. The drivers should
|
|
easily port to any future platforms that support the PCI bus. See
|
|
.Xr usb 4
|
|
for an overview.
|
|
.It
|
|
RAIDframe, version 1.1, from the Parallel Data Laboratory at Carnegie
|
|
Mellon University, has been integrated. Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 4,
|
|
5, and more.
|
|
.It
|
|
Luke Mewburn added
|
|
.Xr nsswitch.conf 5
|
|
functionality to the system to specify the search order for system databases.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Xr syslogd 8
|
|
now supports listening on multiple sockets, to make the
|
|
chrooting of servers easier.
|
|
.It
|
|
Most third party packages have been updated to the latest stable
|
|
release.
|
|
.It
|
|
Import IPv6/IPsec stack, from KAME project.
|
|
This includes addition of kernel code for IPv6/IPsec,
|
|
IPv4/v6 dual-stack user applications and supporting libraries.
|
|
Due to this, shlib major version for
|
|
.Xr pcap 3
|
|
is incremented and you may need a recompilation of your userland tools.
|
|
We will be upgrading IPv6 part to unified-ipv6 codebase
|
|
whenever it becomes ready.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As has been noted, there have also been innumerable bug fixes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Kernel interfaces have continued to be refined, and more subsystems
|
|
and device drivers are shared among the different ports. You can look
|
|
for this trend to continue.

.Ss "The Future of NetBSD"
|
|
.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Foundation has been incorporated as a non-profit
|
|
organization. Its purpose is to encourage, foster and promote the
|
|
free exchange of computer software, namely the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Operating
|
|
System. The foundation will allow for many things to be handled more
|
|
smoothly than could be done with our previous informal organization.
|
|
In particular, it provides the framework to deal with other parties
|
|
that wish to become involved in the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Project.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Foundation will help improve the quality of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
by:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
providing better organization to keep track of development
|
|
efforts, including co-ordination with groups working in
|
|
related fields.
|
|
.It
|
|
providing a framework to receive donations of goods and
|
|
services and to own the resources necessary to run the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Project.
|
|
.It
|
|
providing a better position from which to undertake
|
|
promotional activities.
|
|
.It
|
|
periodically organizing workshops for developers and other
|
|
interested people to discuss ongoing work.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We intend to begin narrowing the time delay between releases. Our
|
|
ambition is to provide a full release every six to eight months.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We hope to support even
|
|
.Em more
|
|
hardware in the future, and we have a
|
|
rather large number of other ideas about what can be done to improve
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We intend to continue our current practice of making the
|
|
NetBSD-current development source available on a daily basis. In
|
|
addition, we intend to provide Anonymous CVS access to the NetBSD
|
|
source tree in the near future, so that anyone on the internet can
|
|
examine the full NetBSD source code repository.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources
|
|
submit them, providing that they are well thought-out and increase the
|
|
usability of the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be
|
|
responsive to the needs and desires of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
users, because it is for
|
|
and because of them that
|
|

|
exists.

.Nx \*V
|
|
has a binary distribution. There are also
|

export regulations of the United States. It is your responsibility
|
|
to determine whether or not it is legal for you to export these portions
|
|
and to act accordingly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the

|
|

.Pp
|
|
Most of the above source sets are located in the
|
|
.Pa source/sets
|
|
subdirectory of the distribution tree. The secrsrc.tgz set is
|
|
contained in the
|
|
.Pa source/security
|
|
subdirectory. This set, which is
|
|
available only to users in the United States and Canada, contains the

\- primarily kerberos and
|
|
other cryptographic security related software. (Remember, because of
|
|
United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to
|
|
locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be
|
|
unpacked into

.No The Pa sets/Split/
|
|
.No and Pa security/Split/
|
|
subdirectories contain split
|
|
versions of the source sets for those users who need to load the
|
|
source sets from floppy or otherwise need a split distribution. The
|
|
split sets are are named "set_name.xx" where "set_name" is the
|
|
distribution set name, and "xx" is the sequence number of the file,
|
|
starting with "aa" for the first file in the distribution set, then
|
|
"ab" for the next, and so on. All of these files except the last one
|
|
of each set should be exactly 240,640 bytes long. (The last file is
|
|
just long enough to contain the remainder of the data for that
|
|
distribution set.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The split distributions may be reassembled and extracted with

|
|
In each of the source distribution set directories, there is a file
|

|
.Pa CKSUMS
|
|
which contains the checksums of the files in that

|
|
check the integrity of the archives, if you suspect that one of the

|
files is corrupt and have access to a cksum binary. Checksums based on
|
|
other algorithms may also be present \- see the

|
|
Users upgrading from previous versions of
|
|
.Nx
|
|
may wish to bear the
|
|
following problems and compatibility issues in mind when upgrading to
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
.(Note
|
|
Only issues effecting an upgrade from NetBSD 1.3 or NetBSD 1.3.x
|
|
are decribed here.

|
|
.It Description
|
|
Some architecture may fail to install the
|
|
.Ic comp
|
|
set because the
|
|
.Dl /usr/include/machine
|
|
directory changed to a symbolic link in NetBSD 1.4.
|
|
.It Fix
|
|
If this happens, you can use the command
|
|
.D1 # Ic rm -r /usr/include/machine
|
|
to remove the old directory and it contents and reinstall the
|
|
.Ic comp
|
|
set.

.Ss "Using online NetBSD documentation"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Documentation is available if you first install the manual
|
|
distribution set. Traditionally, the
|
|
.Dq man pages
|
|
(documentation) are denoted by
|
|
.Dq Li name(section) .
|
|
Some examples of this are
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
.Xr intro 1 ,
|
|
.It
|
|
.Xr man 1 ,
|
|
.It
|
|
.Xr apropros 1 ,
|
|
.It
|
|
.Xr passwd 1 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.It
|
|
.Xr passwd 5 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The section numbers group the topics into several categories, but three
|
|
are of primary interest: user commands are in section 1, file formats
|
|
are in section 5, and administrative information is in section 8.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.No The Em man
|
|
command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is
|
|
started by entering
|
|
.Ic man Op Ar section
|
|
.Ar topic .
|
|
The brackets
|
|
.Op \&
|
|
around the
|
|
section should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is
|
|
optional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the
|
|
lowest numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after
|
|
logging in, enter
|
|
.D1 Ic "man passwd
|
|
to read the documentation for
|
|
.Xr passwd 1 .
|
|
To view the documentation for
|
|
.Xr passwd 5 m
|
|
enter
|
|
.D1 Ic man 5 passwd
|
|
instead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter
|
|
.Ic apropos Ar subject-word
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar subject-word
|
|
is your topic of interest; a list of possibly
|
|
related man pages will be displayed.

If you've got something to say, do so! We'd like your input.
|
|
There are various mailing lists available via the mailing list
|
|
server at
|
|
.Mt majordomo@NetBSD.ORG .
|
|
To get help on using the mailing
|
|
list server, send mail to that address with an empty body, and it will
|
|
reply with instructions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are various mailing lists set up to deal with comments and
|
|
questions about this release. Please send comments to:
|
|
.Mt netbsd-comments@NetBSD.ORG .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To report bugs, use the
|
|
.Xr send-pr 1
|
|
command shipped with
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
and fill in as much information about the problem as you can. Good
|
|
bug reports include lots of details. Additionally, bug reports can
|
|
be sent by mail to:
|
|
.Mt netbsd-bugs@NetBSD.ORG .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Use of
|
|
.Xr send-pr 1
|
|
is encouraged, however, because bugs reported with it
|
|
are entered into the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
bugs database, and thus can't slip through
|
|
the cracks.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are also port-specific mailing lists, to discuss aspects of
|
|
each port of
|
|
.Nx .
|
|
Use majordomo to find their addresses. If
|
|
you're interested in doing a serious amount of work on a specific
|
|
port, you probably should contact the "owner" of that port (listed
|
|
below).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you'd like to help with this effort, and have an idea as to how
|
|
you could be useful, send us mail or subscribe to:
|
|
.Mt netbsd-help@NetBSD.ORG .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As a favor, please avoid mailing huge documents or files to these
|
|
mailing lists. Instead, put the material you would have sent up
|
|
for FTP somewhere, then mail the appropriate list about it, or, if
|
|
you'd rather not do that, mail the list saying you'll send the data
|
|
to those who want it.
