1This file is maintainted by imp@village.org.  Please send new entries
2in it to him.  It contains a list, in reverse chronologocal order, of
3major breakages in tracking -current.  Not all things will be listed
4here, and it only starts on Novemeber 18, 1998.  If you have an
5earlier version of FreeBSD, you are on your own to get to November 18,
61998.

9	When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your
10	/etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for
11	elf and aout.  Otherwise things like X will stop working with
12	messages about being unable to find library files.
13
1419990104:
15	Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in
16	  http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html
17	about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions
18	for doing the upgrade.
19
2019981230:
21	You should install new bootblocks now.  The ELF kernel will
22	become default soon.  In addition, you'll need to upgrade
23	your userland programs to ELF before then as well.  Use
24	make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old
25	a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will
26	continue to work, even after the upgrade).  See src/Makefile
27	for more details.
28
2919981224:
30	The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel.  The
31	driver that replaces it is named acd.  You'll need to change
32	this in your configuration files.
33
34	Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not
35	configured" at boot time.
36
37	The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel,
38	with no replacement driver.
39
4019981202:
41	New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they
42	aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have.
43
4419981201:
45	New user/group added: bind.  From src/etc/master.passwd and
46	src/etc/group:
47		% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group 
48		bind:*:53:
49		% grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd 
50		tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
51		kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
52		bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
53
5419981118:
55	PAM integrated into the tree.   Requires new /etc/pam.conf file
56	to silence warnings from authentication programs (login, etc).
57	See src/etc/pam.conf for a sample.
58
59YYYYMMDD:
60	What happened and what you need to do.
