NetBSD

Various updates

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 released

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.

pkgsrc-2021Q1 quarterly release

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.

GNOME 3 is finally available on NetBSD

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.

OS108

OS108 9.1 XFCE released

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!

pkgsrc-2020Q3, NetBSD 9.1 were released

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.

NetBSD

NetBSD switched default wm from twm to CTWM

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.

The time is moving fast and next quarterly release of pkgsrc is ready. Today the pkgsrc developers officially announced 67th the cross-platform packaging system release. It includes 440 new packages, let go of 111 packages, and performed 2844 package updates (for 2146 unique packages). All release announcement can be found here. pkgsrc can be retrieved from the github mirror, CVS repository or as a tar file. Instructions can be found here.

NetBSD

netbsd-7 branch support will end tomorrow

Usually branches from only last two releases are supported by the project, with one month grace period for the branches from two releases back. Thus, netbsd-7 support was supposed to end in the middle of March. Nevertheless, due to pandemic the project decided to extend netbsd-7 support up to 30th of June. Because of this, netbsd-7, netbsd-7-1 and netbsd-7-0 maintenance will be stopped starting 1st of July, 2020. Definitely, the project team encourages to update to the latest release and promises to release NetBSD 9.1 soon.
