I would like to call attention to a number of outstanding bugs with tickets, 2 of them have patches!
1) kern/189219 (ticket has proposed patch, much better than mine) which is a crasher when using dummyney on sparc64.. I've had to maintain a separate kernel patch for >6 months, there's really no reason we can't get this in 2) kern/207070 (ticket also has proposed patch). Basically gptboot doesn't zero memory before it reads and attempts to process the boot.config file; trivial patch (one line, replaces foo[0] = '\0' with bzero(foo, sizeof(foo))) 3) kern/207069 (no patch, because I can't figure out forth).. this one is severe and really has to get fixed, anyone with a 'password="foo"' in loader.conf will find themselves unable to boot their systems. This existed since 10.2 but went largely unnoticed because if you had an already working system it worked (loader.rc in 10.1 and earlier work, 10.2 and later don't, but loader.rc was not updated), however we are now overwriting loader.rc on installworld, not even a mergemaster. For someone that understands loader and forth this is probably 20 seconds. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
