Third Party Software Distributed with NetBSD

This page contains a list of the software that has been integrated into NetBSD where we are not the primary maintainer.

When you make changes to this software, be sure to discuss it with the maintainer and contribute your patches. Divergence from the official sources is not desirable, and should be avoided as much as possible.

When importing, please deal with the RCS IDs in this way:

  1. Preserve the RCS IDs in the files by removing the $ signs from the IDs before you do the import.
  2. After the import, add NetBSD RCS IDs to all of the files.

gcc:
Version in tree: 10.5.0/12.5.0

Maintainer(external): FSF
Responsible(NetBSD): mrg, christos, skrll
Mailing List: gcc-bugs@gnu.org
Archive Site: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/
Notes: In the long term, we expect that there will often be two versions,
in the "gcc" and "gcc.old" directories. Having two versions allows
migration from one version of gcc to another to happen for one port
at a time, instead of for all ports simultaneously.
When importing a new version of external/gpl3/gcc.old:
- copy the current version of external/gpl3/gcc
- import it to a "NETBSD" vendor branch in external/gpl3/gcc.old
Before importing a new version of external/gpl3/gcc:
- delete all .cvsignore and .gitignore files
- delete java ada fortran their libraries and testsuites
- delete libffi zlib boehm-gc
- update tools/gcc/gcc-version.mk for the NetBSD GCC date
- use core/c++/objc/testsuite tarballs
- you can use the gcc2netbsd script for the above (except version)
- update tools/gcc/gcc-version.mk
- force generate and copy tools/gcc build version of these files
into gcc/dist/gcc/doc: cpp.1 cpp.info gcc.1 gcc.info gcov.1

Latest release was July 22, 2012

The changes between 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 from what I can tell by looking at
the diffs in the DARRENR branch and the tar file (since there is no
more 5.1.1 avalaible anymore) are in test data and a perl script
 
ipsec-tools:

Current Version:

Notes: ipsec-tools is maintained within NetBSD src tree in src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools
We don't run ipsec-tools' configure as part of the NetBSD build. configure
generated files are available in the NetBSD source tree at:
src/lib/libipsec/config.h
src/lib/libipsec/package_version.h
When configure.ac is updated, run the following:
cd src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-adminport --enable-hybrid --enable-frag \
--enable-natt --enable-dpd
Then copy package_version.h to src/lib/libipsec and merge config.h with
src/lib/libipsec/config.h (it needs some manual tweaking)

Current Version: KAME/NetBSD SNAP kit (shipped every week)
Maintainer(external): KAME Project <kame@kame.net>

Notes: KAME project was completed at 2006-03
IPv6 part is based on KAME/NetBSD142 SNAP as of early June 2000, with
more conservative implementation policy.
IPsec part is based on KAME/NetBSD14 SNAP as of 12 June 2000.
Please do not make too many diff-unfriendly changes (like indentation change,
KNF police). We need to take diffs across KAME snapshots on upgrades.
To identify kernel version, check net.inet6.ip6.kame_version, or KAME_VERSION
in sys/netinet6/in6.h. No script is available for upgrades.
"KAME" branch is used for kernel merge work purposes.
http://www.kame.net/dev/cvsweb.cgi/kame/COVERAGE has functionality comparison

Notes: imported from OpenBSD ssh -- is not from the portable OpenSSH

local changes (should always try to bring them back to master openssh tree,
markus is very cooperative about it):
- default for PermitRootLogin is set to "no"
- IgnoreRootRhosts added
- look at login.conf to check valid user/access list
- krb5 support re-added
- hack in cipher.c #ifdef ACCS because we are missing EVP_acss
when someone imports openssl, we can remove this.
- added moduli from portable openssh
- added USE_PAM patches and auth_pam.[ch] from portable openssh
(see if there is any difference between the current version of opensshX.Yp1
and the new opensshZ.Wp1) and apply them.
- added LDAP from portable openssh.
- conditionalize login_cap
- conditionalize bsd_auth
- restore krb5, krb4, afs, skey
- bring in hpn patches, disable mt aes cipher, keep speedups and cipher none
- fix ctype macro arguments
- umac is broken, disable it
- better ~homedir handling
- netbsd style tunnels
- urandom, xhome, chrootdir, rescuedir NetBSD handling
- utmp/utmpx handling
- handle tty posix_vdisable properly
- handle setuid and unsetuid the posix way instead of setresuid()
- add all missing functions
- always bump major when importing to avoid api problems.
- make compile with gcc-4.5; const fixes, fileno() checks, shadow fixes.
- adjust the DEFAULT_PKCS11_WHITELIST for ssh-agent
- blocklistd additions
- LIBWRAP support is maintained (now in sshd-session.c)

- import
- configure and build after importing in the import directory
- check the generated files against the ones in the include and source
directories and merge changes
- copy the toplevel libFOO.ld files to our FOO.map linker files (the legacy.ld
is in providers/), and sync the FOO.expsym files if there were changes
remember to add the extra sha symbol renaming stuff to libcrypto.
- run make in /usr/src/crypto/external/bsd/openssl/lib/libcrypto/man
to regen man pages.
- run make in /usr/src/crypto/external/bsd/openssl/lib/libcrypto/arch/*
to regen assembly files
- make sure that the lib/libcrypto/gen script is up to date with
util/perl/OpenSSL/stackhash.pm
- compare the list of files in each of the libraries with the one from
the openssl build with ar t | sed -e 's/lib[a-z]*-lib-//' | sort -u
- run openssl speed -evp aes-256-cbc and compare the results with the
autoconf build

ppp:
Version in tree: 2.5.2
Current Version: 2.5.2
Maintainer(external): Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
Responsible(NetBSD): christos, cube
Notes: BSD support was removed from 2.4.0; I added it back and removed
some GPL pieces. Multilink support is missing. Repeated pings to
Paulus have not yielded results. I've retrofitted pppdump to use
net/zlib, and <net/ppp-comp.h> and I now maintain sys-bsd.c. This
is clearly a pain. I have not tested the modules code, neither our
makefiles make it easy to construct a module, but I left one there
as an example.
TDB code as found in 2.4.x, x>1 is under the GPL. Therefore, we're
using the version found in 2.4.1.

Notes: We have 3.2 with patches to become 3.95 which was never distributed. This
is the last "standalone" send-pr version. Newer versions require "query-pr"

Maintainer(external): FSF
Responsible(NetBSD): christos
Archive Site: ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/old-gnu/malloc.tar.gz
Notes: The original version of gnumalloc was added (not imported) from
prep.ai.mit.edu in src/gnu/lib/libmalloc in 1993. This is the newest
version from 1995. It is written by Mike Haertel, and was distributed
both standalone and as part of glibc. At some point glibc switched
to use Doug Lea's ptmalloc which is now tightly bound with glibc
and cannot be separated. The Doug Lea version of malloc is also
distributed in a standalone form by Wolfram Gloger in
http://www.malloc.de/en/. We can consider switching to ptmalloc
at some point since it will provide an alternative MT malloc, but
perhaps this implementation should be kept anyway for historical
purposes.

Notes: Don't use src/lib/libc/time/tzcode2netbsd to prepare the source tree for import.
Diffs are now applied by hand, since we have too many diffs (re-entrant tzcode,
register removal) to apply. The diffs have been submitted upstream but there
is too much inertia to apply them. Check for .gitignore files.
For the data files, do use external/public-domain/tz/tzdata2netbsd (usually,
for now, late 2021, do it manually).

3. Append the local services from the current services file.
4. Run:

cp protocols /usr/src/etc/protocols
5. Fix protocols
- fix manet alias to MANET; giving an alias with the same name is a no/op
- protocol 84 is defined for as ttp and iptm, merge the two entries since
libc getprotoent() does not read the whole file and merge in the "files"
implementation.
- add alias carp to vrrp
- put back 240 (pfsync), splitting the unassigned entries
