Changes in INSTALL

Changes in INSTALL_FLOPPY http://nxr.netbsd.org/rss/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY en Copyright 2005 Java PR/57889: Ricardo Branco: ext2fs does not have user immutable and append file flags, only system ones. Restrict those to the superuser. Before the behavior was controlled by EXT2FS_SYSTEM_FLAGS. Make that behavior the default. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.58 Mon Jan 29 18:27:13 UTC 2024 christos Adjust _all_ cinclude of *.local files - Ensure always at end - Use tab rather than spaces - Add consistent comment "Pull in optional local configuration - always at end" The only functional change is that a local file which tried to override an existing setting (eg with "no foo") would have failed in some cases before, but now will work /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.57 Thu Feb 09 14:09:48 UTC 2023 abs add a commented out compat_ossaudio wherever there's compat_linux requested by mrg /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.56 Thu Jan 21 06:51:55 UTC 2021 nia branches: 1.55.2; Remove uyap, USB YAP phone firmware loader. And the associated ezload EZ-USB code, which is only used by uyap. It could theoretically be used by other drivers, but none of them are in tree. I suspect that this device isn't in use, as phone technology has improved a lot since 2001 when uyap(4) was added to the tree. Proposed with no objections on netbsd-users on 13 April 2020 /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.55 Sat May 16 13:46:11 UTC 2020 maya Retire "le* at pci?" from the shipped kernel configs: - If the config had both an le@pci and a pcn, simply remove le@pci (pcn would match at a higher priority anyway). - If the config had le@pci enabled, but no pcn, change le@pci to pcn. - If the config had le@pci commented out, but no pcn, change le@pci to pcn and leave it commented out. The pcn driver supports more chips than le@pci and does DMA directly to/from mbufs rather than memory copies. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.54 Sat Jan 25 18:38:36 UTC 2020 thorpej Remove FDDI support. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.53 Mon Jan 20 18:38:20 UTC 2020 thorpej Remove Token Ring support. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.52 Sun Jan 19 20:00:37 UTC 2020 thorpej Remove HIPPI support and the esh(4) driver that uses it. There have not been any users of HIPPI for some time, and it is unlikely to be resurrected. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.51 Sun Jan 19 06:55:23 UTC 2020 thorpej Remove the strip(4) - Starmode Radio IP - pseudo-device driver. It is long since obsolete. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.50 Sun Jan 19 01:25:05 UTC 2020 thorpej branches: 1.49.6; Add ure(4) to kernel config files. Also add PHY drivers where necessary. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.49 Wed Feb 06 11:58:31 UTC 2019 rin Remove the satlink driver. It was disabled everywhere, had no man page and no use either. Spotted by thorpej in PR/21345, ok christos. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.48 Sun Jan 27 08:53:30 UTC 2019 maxv Remove references to "lmc" in the kernel configurations. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.47 Wed Dec 12 06:29:37 UTC 2018 maxv Retire the 'midway' driver. Discussed on tech-net@ recently and also three years ago, part of removing the network ATM code. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.46 Thu Sep 06 05:36:50 UTC 2018 maxv Add (commented out) mue(4) to where appropriate. Also add MII/PHY drivers for USB NICs if missing. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.45 Sat Aug 25 20:52:41 UTC 2018 rin Unreference IPF/PF from the x86 config files (amd64, i386, xen), and enable NPF instead when wanted. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.44 Wed Aug 01 16:59:09 UTC 2018 maxv branches: 1.43.2; 1.43.4; Revive commented out DISKLABEL_EI option to kernel configuration files that contain FFS_EI option. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.43 Mon Nov 06 02:57:18 UTC 2017 rin clean up COMPAT_* options for native netbsd code: - new series of files that are useful for saying "i want everything since netbsd 1.4", etc. - use the fact COMPAT_* options have future dependancies to remove many redundant options. removes about 3000 lines total across kernel configuration files. tested about 30 random kernels in the changed list. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.42 Thu Sep 14 07:58:41 UTC 2017 mrg Remove support for vm86 on i386. It is bug-friendly, and there is no point in having kernel support for this: the instruction set of the CPU is small, and it can easily be emulated in userland entirely. There are also several assumptions in the code that are not respected, and the slightest confusion in the trap frame can lead to ring0 exploits. vm86 has received zero maintenance. As far as I can tell, it was added 20 years ago in order to make doscmd work. But doscmd has not been maintained either, and was removed from pkgsrc in 2011. dosbox can be used instead: it does not require kernel support, and will produce better results than our flimsy implementation. Pass 1. (many pieces still in the tree) /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.41 Sat Aug 12 06:46:13 UTC 2017 maxv Remove compat_ibcs2 from i386. After a discussion on port-vax, it turns out that compat_ibcs2 does not implement the iBCS2 standard - which is x86-specific - but rather SVR3. Our real iBCS2 implementation was a mixture of compat_ibcs2 and compat_svr4, and was only partial. Keeping support for this in i386 is totally irrelevant today. I also asked on port-i386 but didn't wait long. The main issue is that compat_ibcs2 should have been called compat_svr3. But CVS does not support renaming files, and moving things around is both painful and tiring, even more so when no one seems to be interested in doing this work or in the feature at all. For now compat_ibcs2 is available on Vax and will stay, until someone (not me) cleans it up. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.40 Wed Aug 09 18:45:30 UTC 2017 maxv Remove TCP_COMPAT_42 from the config files. Pass 3. /src/sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL_FLOPPY - 1.39 Sat Jul 29 18:08:58 UTC 2017 maxv
