| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vt(4) is a new console driver which brings features such as: o Support for Unicode and double-width characters o Integration with the KMS kernel video drivers o Support for UEFI You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf, most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will indicate what you need to do. vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to syscons(4). See the wiki for up-to-date information: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding the following line to /boot/loader.conf: kern.vty=sc Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1005 Discussed with: emaste@, nwhitehorn@, ray@ Relnotes: yes

* Change suggestion how to set MAKESYSPATH as broken incremental buildache2014-06-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | workaround. Magic ".../share/mk" (search directories up to /) does not work for f.e. /usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc because the path inside is starting from /usr/obj hierarchy and ends up in /usr/share/mk, not in the /usr/src/share/mk where src.opts.mk is. IMHO proper fixing of incremental build is needed urgently.
* Move atf-sh from /usr/bin/ to /usr/libexec/jmmv2014-06-061-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In r266650, we made libatf-c and libatf-c++ private libraries so that no components outside of the source tree could unintendedly depend on them. This change does the same for the "atf-sh library" by moving the atf-sh interpreter from its public location in /usr/bin/ to the private location in /usr/libexec/. Our build system will ensure that our own test programs use the right binary, but users won't be able to depend on atf-sh by "mistake". Committing this now to ride the UPDATING notice added with r267172 today.
* Homogenize libatf-* version numbers with upstream.jmmv2014-06-061-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | The libatf-* major version numbers in FreeBSD were one version ahead of upstream because, when atf was first imported into FreeBSD, the upstream numbers were not respected. This is just confusing and bound to cause problems down the road. Fix this by taking advantage of the fact that libatf-* are now private and that atf is not yet built by default. However, and unfortunately, a clean build is needed for tests to continue working once "make delete-old-libs" has been run; hence the note in UPDATING.

| | | | | | | | | | | versions. With its movement to src.opts.mk, bsd.prog.mk was testing COMPILER_TYPE without including the bsd.compiler.mk anymore. In the source tree, this caused no problems, for reasons that aren't clear, but does cause problems outside of the source tree. Allow bsd.compiler.mk to be included multiple times safely, and always include bsd.compiler.mk at the top of bsd.prog.mk. Resist the urge to put it in bsd.init.mk, since that would reintroduce the implicit include.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add it in kern.mk, but only if we're using clang. While this option is supported by both clang and gcc, in the future there may be changes to clang which change the defaults that require a tweak to build our kernel such that other tools in our tree will work. Set a good example by forcing -gdwarf-2 only for clang builds, and only if the user hasn't specified another dwarf level already. Update UPDATING to reflect the changed state of affairs. This also keeps us from having to update all the ARM kernels to add this, and also keeps us from in the future having to update all the MIPS kernels and is one less place the user will have to know to do something special for clang and one less thing developers will need to do when moving an architecture to clang.
