Framework and content for the first Conspectus -- KernelTraffic for
FreeBSD, pretty much. A big hello to Salvo Bartolotta, who will be producing them for -stable for the foreseeable future. Volunteers to do the same for other lists appreciated.

To update a conspectus from a contributor, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Place the .sgml file in the appropriate <list>/<year>/<month>/
|
||||
directory. Create the directories as necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Update the Makefile in the same directory to include the new file.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Run make(1) in the directory to confirm that the file builds
|
||||
correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
4. cd(1) up a level, so you're in <list>/<year>/, and edit index.sgml
|
||||
to include the contents of the new conspectus. Do this by cutting
|
||||
and pasting the TOC from the new file in to index.sgml. We do things
|
||||
in reverse chronological order (i.e., most recent first)
|
||||
|
||||
* Be sure and update the links in the pasted TOC, as they will
|
||||
need to include the month/<file>.sgml name as well. A quick
|
||||
way to do this is to search and replace
|
||||
|
||||
"#
|
||||
|
||||
with
|
||||
|
||||
"<month>/<date>.sgml#
|
||||
|
||||
in the file.
|
||||
|
||||
* Make sure the <h2> contains a link to the whole file.
|
||||
|
||||
5. cd(1) up two levels, and edit the main conspectus/index.sgml file.
|
||||
Update the link to the latest Conspectus

<p><a href="http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=581706+0+archive/2000/freebsd-stable/20000521.freebsd-stable">Last week's thought-provoking debate</a>
|
||||
continued this week; the discussion focused on a a few possible
|
||||
workarounds for circumventing the well-known ad driver bug
|
||||
early in the booting process. It seems that an effective
|
||||
solution has not still been implemented. However, a number of
|
||||
interesting suggestions were offered.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The point is that, in order to prevent any HD damage, PIO mode
|
||||
should be set by default very early at boot time. Albeit the
|
||||
bug only manifests itself in the worst form in a very limited
|
||||
number of cases -- ie rather special combinations of hardware
|
||||
components -- when it does, it does ...</p>

|
||||
|

<p>On May 25, 2000, <a href="mailto:grm@cequrux.com">[Graham Wheeler]</a>
|
||||
met a number of errors in the make world process while compiling
|
||||
gcc. After some experimentation, he got rid of them by using the
|
||||
"i" option for make. He seems to be the only person in the forum
|
||||
to have found these errors; probably, they were caused by an
|
||||
incorrect updating procedure.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Although the problems were soon easily solved, several fine
|
||||
points were hinted at in this thread: in particular, such a
|
||||
secondary specific procedure as "make includes", which is
|
||||
(usually) relevant to -CURRENT.</p>

<p>The boot problem in question turned out to be trivial: the ata

<p>The correspondents, subsequently, went on to describe their

|
||||
|
||||
<p>On May 23, 2000,
|
||||
<a href="mailto:fritz.heinrichmeyer@FernUni-Hagen.de">[Fritz
|
||||
Heinrichmeyer]</a> announced that he had solved his spontaneous
|
||||
reboot problem by upgrading to -STABLE -- the SMP cleanups
|
||||
seemed to require a recompilation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Incidentally, I have read about spontaneous reboots a good number
|
||||
of times in the FreeBSD mailing lists. The most common cause is
|
||||
bad hardware; sometimes, as in the present situation, the cause
|
||||
is of software nature. Upgrading to -STABLE, as is very often the
|
||||
case, is the solution to that vexed question.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On May, 29, however, Fritz wrote again. Other spontaneous
|
||||
reboots, in fact, occurred a few days later. Also,
|
||||
<a href="mailto:mi@privatelabs.com">[MI]</a> reported on the
|
||||
same matter -- MI, too, has been running SMP boards.
|
||||
This anomalous behavio(ur) seems to be specifically related to
|
||||
the SMP code, and is currently under investigation.

answering a letter of <a href="mailto:tolyar@mx.ru">[Zherdev

|

<p><i>What I usually do is perform the first-time build and

install on the server. Then, when I need one of the

applications in /usr/ports on a different system, I
|

NFS-mount /usr/ports and perform a "make reinstall" to get

the application installed, but not built from scratch, on

the client.</i></p>

</blockquote>
|

|

<blockquote>
|

<p><i>I do it this way, because I had been alerted to

permission problems in the building of various components.
|

It's just simpler to do all of the builds on a server, and

||||
only do the installs on the client. Besides, my server is
|

a faster machine than the clients I have, so builds go
|

MUCH faster on it.</i></p>
