The NetBSD project announced the third release from netbsd-9 branch on 4th of August, 2022. It includes security and stability fixes, as well as some selected feature enhancements. Main highlights can be found in release announcement, a complete list of changes from 9.2 release in CHANGES-9.3 file. The release can be downloaded from CDN service or any other project mirrors.
It is strongly recommended to update for users of earlier NetBSD releases.
NetBSD has an option to redirect console to the serial device in the boot(8) selector program and it works pretty well with the BIOS bootloader. After switching to interactive mode, one can simply type consdev com0 and console immediately switches to serial output (with default config of 9600 8N1). It is possible to change the speed by adding one after comma, for example, consdev com0,115200. Same command can be added to boot.cfg, if permanent serial output is required.
uefiboot, however, has some peculiarities. First of all, using device index doesn’t seem to work, thus specifying com0 or com1 doesn’t end up in serial output. The second issue is related to the fact that even if configuration is correct, console is not redirected immediately at boot selector application. Additionally, consdev command still reprints the banner in the screen contributing to more confusion and gives initial impression of broken functionality, especially if being used to BIOS bootloader functionality. I believe second issue is a bug, unless there are some technical limitations. Nevertheless, the console redirection to serial device still works right after the boot process starts, if serial device address is used instead of index in consdev command. Format is consdev com,addr,speed (please, take attention to no specific index while writing com). There are several ways to find the address of the serial device. I am usually retrieving it from dmesg(8) messages, for example dmesg |grep com0 should show something like com0 at acpi0 (UAR1, PNP0501-0): io 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 where 0x3f8 is the address required. This info quite often can be found in some BIOS options too. Typically com0 is a 0x3f8, thus consdev com,0x3f8,115200 command would properly redirect console to serial device as soon as boot starts.
It took me a bit of time to figure that out by reading documentation and some experimentation, later I also found the same recommendation in the mailing lists, but since UEFI boot is common these days, hopefully this info can save someones time and it is a good reminder for myself.
Time is moving fast and pkgsrc released three quarterly releases since my last update. The last one, 2022Q1 release was announced few days ago. It marks 74th quarterly release with 321 new packages added, 56 removed, and 1762 updates to 1209 unique packages since last update. You can read more details in the release annoucement. As usual, pkgsrc can be retrieved from the github mirror, CVS repository or as a archived file. Installation and usage instructions can be found here or in the project page.
I didn’t post for a while, but world is moving on as usual in between. pkgsrc-2021Q2 was released on 28 of June. It was 71s quarterly release and brought big number of updates as usual. You can read release notes here.
NetBSD IRC channels officially moved to irc.libera.chat network back in the end of May.
Unfortunately, the only proposed GSoC project was not selected by Google, but work is still supported by the NetBSD project itself: Support for chdir(2) in posix_spawn(3).
NetBSD 10 still is not branched as of today and no specific plans yet announced about it, but hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it will happen soon.
There is a lot of progress on NetBSD alpha support from Jason Thorpe. It runs on qemu-system-alpha now, there are lots of improvements for actual hardware as well. If you still have some Alpha system around, give it a try and join port-alpha mailing list. Actually I do have two systems as well untouched for many years, unfortunately one seems to be dead already. May give a try with second one though.
There was one security advisory announced: “NetBSD-SA2021-002 Incorrect permissions in kernfs”, affecting netbsd-current between March 3, 2020 and July 6, 2021 and NetBSD 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2 releases. It is advisable to update your kernel with the code after 6 of July to fix the issue.
Many other things are happening behind the scenes as well, including improved support for various ARM based devices like PineBook/PinePhone, but I didn’t keep the right links to share that right now.
Finally, the big moment for me, I became a NetBSD developer myself, thus I can contribute the code directly. And I already started doing that. My current focus is mainly non functional changes, but I will be contributing to some bug fixes and documentation as well on the way forward.
NetBSD 9.2 “Nakatomi Socrates” was released on 12 of May, 2021. It’s a second feature release for netbsd-9 branch. As usual, it includes stability and security fixes, as well as some selected feature enhancements. Main highlights can be found in release announcement, full list of changes in CHANGES-9.2 file. Finally, the release can be downloaded from CDN service or any other project mirrors.
Besides this release, the current branch integrated aiomixer, which is terminal-based graphical audio mixer for NetBSD audio API. Read more about it in this blog post.
Last week pkgsrc announced the 70th quarterly release. Since this release default Go version is 1.16. Compared to the last release, over 2000 packages were updated, 381 added and 61 removed. There is also a note stating that some packages with difficult dependencies like Firefox may not compile on NetBSD 8, it is advised to upgrade to NetBSD 9. As usual, pkgsrc can be retrieved from the github mirror, CVS repository or as a tar file. Instructions can be found here.
With a some overdue compared to other BSDs, GNOME 3 desktop environment meta package was recently added to pkgsrc. Successful installations were reported by some NetBSD users including screenshots! Thus, I am also planning to give a try soon, since it is my default desktop environment in Linux systems. Currently, it can be build from sources only using latest pkgsrc branch. Likely, binary package will be available with the pkgsrc-2020Q4 release next year.
Last week the NetBSD based OS108 distribution was updated to 9.1 version. In comparison to previous release, MATE desktop environment was replaced with Xfce one. Thus installation instructions are slightly updated too. Initial installation matches the NetBSD one except that log option should be added to FFSv2 partitions. After the first boot into installed system, the installation image should be mounted and sh /cdrom/OS108/xfce.sh command should be executed with the root account. The script will prepare desktop environment and automatically reboot. The system should be ready to use after that.
DVD ISO and USB images are available in the project’s github page. For the communication telegram group or forums can be used. Give it a try!
In October two major releases were announced. A bit over a week ago, the day on 9 of October, 2020 was marked by 68th quarterly release of pkgsrc project. pkgsrc2020-Q3 is a third one this year and included 241 new packages, removed 115 of them, and committed 1713 (to 1273 unique packages) updates to existing packages since last release. More information can be found in the release announcement itself.
Just 9 days later, on 18 of October NetBSD tagged 9.1 release and the official announcement is available starting today. This is the first feature update to NetBSD 9 release branch and includes lots of fixes for security and stability reasons as well as new drivers, third party software updates and enhancements. The full list of changes since 9.0 can be found here. Personally, inclusion of aq(4) driver was important to my setup since I am using Aquantia AQC100 based Asus XG-C100F SFP+ 10Gbit network adapter. The CTWM window manager is already default starting this release. As usual, the release can be downloaded from CDN service or any other project mirrors.

Interesting news popped up few days in twitter. The default window manager was switched from twm (Tab Window Manager) to CTWM (Claude’s Tab Window Manager) in development branch. CTWM is backwards compatible twm fork with virtual desktops support. Currently, it can be tested by downloading the latest images from current branch, feedback is welcome to the author of this twitter thread.
if you download https://t.co/exWOlDB040 extract and boot it from a USB drive or hda in qemu, login as root and type startx, it has a new default window manager you can try
