La nouvelle mouture de FreeBSD est sortie (il y a environ 2h, mais pas encore d'annonce)
Beaucoup de corrections de bugs, des mises à jour et le support smbfs enfin dans le kernel :)
Elle a pris beaucoup de retard à sa sortie (près de 1 mois) mais la voilà :o) il reste quand même des bugs avec les ports de KDE 2.2.x mais pour un serveur elle est très "clean" (vu les améliorations des 5 "release candidate")

Note du modérateur: Merci à tous ceux qui nous ont proposé cette dépêche

      J'ai voté pour toi... Et le commentaire anonyme récurrent qui suit également ! C'est sympa ca ;-), parce qu'avec tous ces points, les bons vieux troll se perdent ! Ils restent pleins de troll mais des trolls de gens qui se prennent pour des gens sérieux et qui s'en rendent pas compte. Ce sont les pire pour moi ! Il y a rien a faire pour eux !

      Ce que je vais dire va peut-être paraitre méchant (surtout lache, car anonyme), mais là comme ça je pense que bsdfr.org est inutile. linuxfr.org a les même news BSD et on sent une ... (hum) ... plus grande ouverture d'esprit.

    Dans cette news http://linuxfr.org/2001/09/14/4964,0,-1,0,1.php3(...) un modo nous avais explique pourquoi telle news en principale et telle autre dans la boite autre, et il était dit que linuxfr n'est pas freshmeat, et les annonce de soft, c'est dans autre.

    Et la paf, ca a pas tenu 24 heures comme resolutions. Ce site n'a décidement aucune vision, aucune politique éditoriale, et fait n'importe quoi.

      Euh, moi je ne comprends pas pourquoi la sortie de netbsd etait sortie dans la petite boite sur le cote alors que celle de freebsd est sur la colonne principale.

      D'habitude, je ne juge pas quand une news devrait passer a droite ou en colonne principale, mais la, c'est carrement un manque de coherence!

      Mais heureusement, tu es venu. Tu a repris DaCode, et tu l'a amélioré. Il consomme 60% de CPU de moins. Et tu a ouvert ton site, où on parle pas de soft en première page, où on parle pas de billou en première page, où on a une ligne éditoriale précise et stricte. Bref, le site idéal...

      En plus, comme Linuxfr fait n'importe quoi, tu ne t'abaisse même plus à faire un post...

      Et puis comme c'est décidément nul, tu ne le lis même plus...

      Du coup, t'as ton top site, on te vois plus, et tu nous fous la paix.

      Et moi, c'est tout ce qui m'interesse: que tu nous foute la paix, parce que j'aime bien lire ce site "qui n'a décidement aucune vision, aucune politique éditoriale, et qui fait n'importe quoi."

      Et en plus je réponds à ça. Je suis pas bien, moi...

    FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE i386 Release Notes

    The FreeBSD Project

    Copyright (c) 2000, 2001 by The FreeBSD Documentation Project

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    1 Introduction

    This document contains the release notes for FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE on the
    i386 hardware platform. It describes new features of FreeBSD that have
    been added (or changed) since 4.3-RELEASE.

    This distribution of FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE is a release distribution. It can
    be found at ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/(...) or any of its mirrors. More
    information on obtaining this (or other) release distributions of FreeBSD
    can be found in the ``Obtaining FreeBSD'' appendix to the FreeBSD
    Handbook.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2 What's New

    $FreeBSD: src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/common/new.sgml,v
    1.22.2.86.2.1 2001/09/14 19:35:01 bmah Exp $

    This section describes the most user-visible new or changed features in
    FreeBSD since 4.3-RELEASE.

    Many additional changes were made to FreeBSD that are not listed here for
    lack of space. For example, documentation was corrected and improved,
    minor bugs were fixed, insecure coding practices were audited and
    corrected, and source code was cleaned up.

    The release notes items are organized into three different sections.
    Section 2.1 lists recent changes to the FreeBSD kernel. Security fixes,
    including those pertaining to security advisories, are listed in Section
    2.2. Finally, Section 2.3 covers changes to FreeBSD userland applications
    included in the base system.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1 Kernel Changes

    The O_DIRECT flag has been added to open(2) and fcntl(2). Specifying this
    flag for open files will attempt to minimize the cache effects of reading
    and writing.

    An orm(4) device has been added to claim the option ROMs in the ISA memory
    I/O space, to prevent other drivers from mistakenly assigning addresses
    that conflict with these ROMs.

    The out-of-swap process termination code now begins killing processes
    earlier to avoid deadlocks; it now also takes into account the swap space
    used by processes when computing the process sizes.

    Network device cloning has been implemented, and the gif(4) device has
    been modified to take advantage of it. Thus, instead of specifying how
    many gif(4) interfaces are available in kernel configuration files,
    ifconfig(8)'s create option should be used when another device instance is
    desired.

    Two new ddb(4) commands, hwatch and dhwatch, have been introduced.
    Analogous to watch and dwatch, they install hardware watchpoints (as
    opposed to software watchpoints) if supported by the architecture.

    A nmdm(4) null-modem terminal driver has been added.

    The stl(4) driver now supports the PCI and ISA EasyIO multi-port serial
    cards from Stallion Technologies based on the Signetics SC26C194/8
    Intelligent Quad/Octal UART.

    The maxusers kernel configuration parameter is now a boot-time tunable
    variable. The kernel parameters derived from maxusers are now also
    tunables and can be overridden at boot-time. The hz parameter is also now
    a tunable.

    The FreeBSD boot loader now contains a workaround to support CDROM booting
    on certain IBM BIOSs that expect the first sector of the emulated floppy
    to contain a valid MS-DOS BPB that they can modify.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.1 Processor/Motherboard Support

    Detection for new processors, such as the Transmeta Crusoe, and Transmeta
    Crusoe with LongRun, has been added.

    Support for Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) has been introduced. The
    CPU_ENABLE_SSE kernel option controls whether support is compiled into the
    kernel.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.2 Network Interface Support

    The fxp(4) driver now requires a device miibus entry in the kernel
    configuration file.

    The wx(4) driver now supports the Intel PRO1000-F and PRO1000-T
    (10/100/1000) adapters.

    The an(4) driver now supports the Cisco Aironet 350 series of adaptors and
    has received a few bug fixes; promiscuous mode now works, and it can be
    configured before being brought up.

    The xl(4) driver now supports reception of VLAN tagged frames (on the
    ``Cyclone'' or newer chipsets).

    The ti(4) driver correctly masks VLAN tags.

    Added the nge(4) driver, which supports PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters
    based on the National Semiconductor DP83820 and DP83821 Gigabit Ethernet
    controller chips, including the D-Link DGE-500T, SMC EZ Card 1000
    (SMC9462TX), Asante FriendlyNet GigaNIC 1000TA and 1000TPC and Addtron
    AEG320T. This driver supports transmit and receive checksum offloading.

    The lge(4) driver has been added to support the Level 1 LXT1001
    NetCellerator Gigabit Ethernet controller chip. This device is used on
    some fiber optic GigE cards from SMC, D-Link and Addtron. Jumbograms and
    TCP/IP checksum offload on receive are supported, although hardware VLAN
    filtering is not.

    The tx(4) driver now supports the fiber-optic SMC 9432FTX NICs.

    The ed(4) driver now has support for D-Link DL10022 chips, necessary for
    the NetGear FA-410TX and other cards. As a result, device miibus is
    required in kernel configurations using the ed(4) driver.

    The txp(4) driver has been added to support NICs based on the 3Com 3XP
    Typhoon/Sidewinder (3CR990) chipset.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.3 Network Protocols

    TCP now has RFC 1323 extensions enabled by default in rc.conf(5).

    RFC 1323 and RFC 1644 TCP extensions are now disabled for a connection in
    progress if no response has been received by the third SYN segment sent.
    This behavior tries to work around (very old) terminal servers with buggy
    VJ header compression implementations.

    The TCP_RESTRICT_RST kernel option has been removed. Similar functionality
    can be achieved with the net.inet.tcp.blackhole sysctl variable.

    The TCP implementation no longer requires the allocation of a TCP template
    structure for each connection; this should reduce the buffer usage on
    large systems handling many connections.

    A new sysctl net.inet.ip.check_interface, which is off by default, causes
    IP to verify that an incoming packet arrives on an interface that has an
    address matching the packet's destination address.

    A new options RANDOM_IP_ID kernel option causes the ID field of IP packets
    to be randomized. This closes a minor information leak which allows a
    remote observer to determine the rate at which the machine is generating
    packets, since the default behavior is to increment a counter for each
    packet sent.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.4 Disks and Storage

    The asr(4) driver now supports the Adaptec 2000S and 2005S Zero-Channel
    RAID controllers.

    The aac(4) driver now supports the Adaptec SCSI RAID 5400S controller.

    The ata(4) driver again has write-caching enabled by default.

    The wd(4) compatibility devices were removed from the ata(4) driver.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.5 Filesystems

    smbfs (CIFS) support in kernel has been added. The corresponding userland
    filesystem mount utility can be found in the net/smbfs port in the FreeBSD
    Ports Collection.

    A simple hash-based lookup optimization for large directories called
    dirhash has been added. Conditional on the UFS_DIRHASH kernel option, it
    improves the speed of operations on very large directories at the expense
    of some memory.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.6 PCCARD Support

    On many modern hosts, PCCARD devices can be configured to route their
    interrupts via either the ISA or PCI interrupt paths. The pcic(4) driver
    has been updated to support both interrupt paths (formerly, only routing
    via ISA was supported). In most cases, configuration of PCMCIA devices in
    laptops is simpler and more flexible. In addition, various Cardbus bridge
    PCI cards (such as those used by Orinoco PCI NICs) are now supported. Some
    hosts may experience problems, such as hangs or panics, with PCI interrupt
    routing; they can frequently be made to work by forcing the older-style
    ISA interrupt routing. The following lines, placed in /boot/loader.conf,
    may fix the problem:

    hw.pcic.intr_path="1"
    hw.pcic.irq="0"

    When installing FreeBSD on such a system, typing the following lines to
    the boot loader may be helpful in starting up FreeBSD for the first time:



    ok set hw.pcic.intr_path="1"
    ok set hw.pcic.irq="0"

    PCCARD ejection can sometimes result in a hang; a workaround for these
    cases is to perform a:

    # pccardc power 0 slot

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.7 Multimedia Support

    A driver for the Advance Logic ALS4000 has been added.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.8 Contributed Software

    IPFilter has been updated to 3.4.20.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.8.1 isdn4bsd

    isdn4bsd has been updated to version 1.0.1. As a result of this update,
    users of the i4bisppp(4) (kernel PPP over ISDN) driver must now use
    ispppcontrol(8) instead of spppcontrol(8) to configure and control these
    network interfaces.

    The ihfc(4) driver for supporting Cologne Chip Designs HFC devices under
    isdn4bsd has been added.

    The itjc(4) driver for supporting NETjet-S / Teles PCI-TJ devices under
    isdn4bsd has been added.

    Experimental support for the Eicon.Diehl DIVA 2.0 and 2.02 ISA PnP ISDN
    cards has been added to the isic(4) isdn4bsd driver.

    Active CAPI-based ISDN cards manufacured by AVM are now supported using
    the i4bcapi(4) and the iavc(4) driver. The supported cards are the AVM B1
    PCI and AVM B1 ISA Basic Rate cards and the AVM T1 Primary Rate cards.

    A new maxconnecttime keyword is now accepted in isdnd.rc(5) files to limit
    the time a connection may remain open.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.1.8.2 KAME

    The IPv6 stack is now based on a snapshot based on the KAME Project's IPv6
    snapshot as of 28 May, 2001. Most of the items listed in this section are
    a result of this import. Section 2.3.1.2 lists userland updates to the
    KAME IPv6 stack.

    gif(4) is now based on RFC 2893, rather than RFC 1933. The IFF_LINK2
    interface flag can be used to control ingress filtering.

    IPSec has received some enhancements, including the ability to use the
    Rijndael and SHA2 algorithms. IPSec RC5 support has been removed due to
    patent issues.

    stf(4) now conforms to RFC 3056; the IFF_LINK2 interface flag can be used
    to control ingress filtering.

    IPv6 has better checking of illegal addresses (such as loopback addresses)
    on physical networks.

    The IPV6_V6ONLY socket option is now completely supported. The kernel's
    default behavior with respect to this option is controlled by the
    net.inet6.ip6.v6only sysctl variable.

    RFC 3041 (Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) is
    now supported. It can be enabled via the net.inet6.ip6.use_tempaddr sysctl
    variable.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.2 Security-Related Changes

    The security fix mentioned in security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:39, which
    governs initial sequence number generation for TCP connections, has raised
    some possible compatibility issues. To mitigate this effect, the fix can
    now be enabled or disabled using the net.inet.tcp.tcp_seq_genscheme sysctl
    variable.

    A vulnerability in the fts(3) routines (used by applications for
    recursively traversing a filesystem) could allow a program to operate on
    files outside the intended directory hierarchy. This bug has been fixed
    (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:40).

    portmap(8) is now turned off by default, although it will be started
    automatically on machines that enable NFS serving, NIS services, or amd(8)
    through rc.conf(5).

    A flaw allowed some signal handlers to remain in effect in a child process
    after being exec-ed from its parent. This allowed an attacker to execute
    arbitrary code in the context of a setuid binary. This flaw has been
    corrected (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:42).

    A remote buffer overflow in tcpdump(1) has been fixed (see security
    advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:48).

    A remote buffer overflow in telnetd(8) has been fixed (see security
    advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:49).

    The new net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets and net.inet.ip6.maxfragpackets sysctl
    variables limit the amount of memory that can be consumed by IPv4 and IPv6
    packet fragments, which defends against some denial of service attacks
    (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:52).

    The number of ``security profiles'' available in sysinstall(8) for new
    installations has been reduced to two.

    All services in inetd.conf are now disabled by default for new
    installations. sysinstall(8) gives the option of enabling or disabling
    inetd(8) on new installations, as well as editing inetd.conf.

    A flaw in the implementation of the ipfw(8) me rules on point-to-point
    links has been corrected. Formerly, me filter rules would match the remote
    IP address of a point-to-point interface in addition to the intended local
    IP address (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:53).

    A vulnerability in procfs(5), which could allow a process to read
    sensitive information from another process's memory space, has been closed
    (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:55).

    The PARANOID hostname checking in tcp_wrappers now works as advertised
    (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:56).

    A local root exploit in sendmail(8) has been closed (see security advisory
    FreeBSD-SA-01:57).

    A remote root vulnerability in lpd(8) has been closed (see security
    advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:58).

    A race condition in rmuser(8) that briefly exposed a world-readable
    /etc/master.passwd has been fixed (see security advisory
    FreeBSD-SA-01:59).

    All non-root-owned binaries in standard system paths now have the schg
    flag set to prevent exploit vectors when run by cron(8), by root, or by a
    user other then the one owning the binary. In addition, uustat(1) is now
    run via /etc/periodic/daily/410.status-uucp as uucp, not root.

    A security hole in the form of a buffer overflow in the semop(2) system
    call has been closed.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.3 Userland Changes

    ip6fw(8) now has the ability to use a preprocessor and use the -q (quiet)
    flag when reading from a file.

    ping(8) now supports a -m option to set the TTL of outgoing packets.

    ln(1) now takes a -h flag to avoid following a target that is a link, with
    a -n flag for compatibility with other implementations.

    find(1) now has the -anewer, -cnewer, -mnewer, -okdir, and
    -newer[acm][acmt] primaries for comparisons of file timestamps.

    The performance of the ELF dynamic linker has been improved.

    ifconfig(8) can now accept addresses in slash/CIDR notation.

    c89(1) has been converted from a shell script to a binary executable,
    fixing some minor bugs.

    vidcontrol(1) now supports a -p option to take a snapshot of a syscons(4)
    video buffer. These snapshots can be manipulated by the graphics/scr2png
    utility in the Ports Collection.

    vidcontrol(1) now allows the user to omit the font size specification when
    loading a font, and has some better error-handling.

    telnet(1) now supports a -u flag to allow connections to UNIX-domain
    (AF_UNIX) sockets.

    newfs(8) now takes a -U option to enable softupdates on a new filesystem.

    libcrypt now has support for Blowfish password hashing.

    Ukrainian language support has been added to the FreeBSD console.

    savecore(8) now works correctly on machines with 2 GB or more of RAM.

    The syntax of inetd(8)'s support for faithd(8) is now compatible with that
    of other BSDs.

    The ident protocol support in inetd(8) has been cleaned up and updated.

    inetd(8) now has the ability to manage UNIX-domain sockets.

    The resolver(3) in FreeBSD now implements EDNS0 support, which will be
    necessary when working with IPv6 transport-ready resolvers/DNS servers.

    df(1) now takes a -l option to only display information about
    locally-mounted filesystems.

    whois(1) now directs queries for IP addresses to ARIN. If a query to ARIN
    references APNIC or RIPE, the appropriate server will also be queried,
    provided that the -Q option is not specified.

    The -T option to dump(8) no longer swallows an extra argument.

    dump(8) has a new -D option, allowing the path to the /etc/dumpdates file
    to be changed.

    libfetch now has support for a HTTP_USER_AGENT environment variable.

    The getprogname(3) and setprogname(3) library functions have been added to
    manipulate the name of the current program. They are used by
    error-reporting routines to produce consistent output.

    xargs(1) now supports a -J replstr option that allows the user to tell
    xargs(1) to insert the data read from standard input at a specific point
    in the command line arguments, rather than at the end.

    ifconfig(8) now has support for setting parameters for IEEE 802.11
    wireless network devices. wi(4) and an(4) devices are supported.

    ifconfig(8) no longer displays the list of supported media by default.
    Instead it displays it when the -m option is given.

    lpd(8) now takes two new options: -c will log all connection errors to
    syslogd(8), while -W will allow connections from non-reserved ports.

    lpc(8) has been improved; lpc clean is now somewhat safer, and a new lpc
    tclean command has been added to check to see what files would be removed
    by lpc clean.

    du(1) now takes a -I command-line flag to ignore/skip files and
    subdirectories matching a specified shell-glob mask.

    growfs(8), a utility for growing FFS filesystems, has been added.
    ffsinfo(8), a utility for dump all the meta-information of an existing
    filesystem, has also been added.

    mail(1) now takes a -E flag to avoid sending messages with empty bodies.

    vidcontrol(1) now supports a -C option to clear the history buffer for a
    given tty, as well as a -h option to set the size of the history buffer.

    last(1) now implements a -d option that provides a ``snapshot'' of who was
    logged in at a particular date and time.

    libcrypt and libdescrypt have been unified to provide a configurable
    password authentication hash library. Both the md5 and des hash methods
    are provided unless the des hash is specifically compiled out.

    install(1) has a number of new features, including the -b and -B options
    for backing up existing target files and the -S option for ``safe''
    (atomic copy) operation. The -c (copy) flag is now the default, and the -D
    (debugging) flag has been withdrawn. install(1) now issues a warning if -d
    (create directories) and -C (copy changed files only) are used together.

    The FreeBSD Makefile infrastructure now supports the WARNS directive from
    NetBSD. This directive controls the addition of compiler warning flags to
    CFLAGS in a relatively compiler-neutral manner.

    A new fsck_msdosfs(8) utility has been added to check the consistency of
    MS-DOS filesystems.

    The kldconfig(8) utility has been added to make it easier to manipulate
    the kernel module search path.

    moused(8) now takes a -a option to control mouse acceleration.

    The tcpmssfixup ppp(8) option now adjusts the maximum receive segment size
    of incoming TCP SYN segments as well as outgoing TCP SYN segments.

    sysctl(8) now supports a -N option to print out variable names only.

    sysctl(8) has replaced the -A and -X options with -ao and -ax
    respectively; the former options are now deprecated. The -w flag is
    deprecated as well; it is not needed to determine the user's intentions.

    cdcontrol(1) now supports next and prev commands to skip forwards or
    backwards a specified number of tracks while playing an audio CD.

    col(1) now takes a -p flag to force unknown control sequences to be passed
    through unchanged.

    tmpnam(3) will now use the TMPDIR environment variable, if set, to specify
    the location of temporary files.

    rc(8) now deletes all non-directory files in /var/run and /var/spool/lock
    at boot time.

    fmtcheck(3), a function for checking consistency of format string
    arguments, has been added.

    apmd(8) now has the ability to monitor battery levels and execute commands
    based on percentage or minutes of battery life remaining via the
    apm_battery configuration directive. See the commented-out examples in
    /etc/apmd.conf for the syntax.

    pppd(8) (the control program for kernel-level PPP) is now installed mode
    4550 and root:dialer, rather than mode 4555 (in other words, it is no
    longer world-executable). Users of pppd(8) may need to change their group
    settings.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.3.1 Contributed Software

    BIND is now built with the NOADDITIONAL flag, which causes named(8) to
    operate in a more consistent fashion for certain common misconfigurations.

    BIND has been updated to 8.2.4-REL.

    Binutils have been upgraded to 2.11.2.

    bzip2 1.0.1 has been imported; this brings the bzip2(1) program and the
    libbz2 library to the base system.

    The ee(1) Easy Editor has been updated to 1.4.2.

    file has been updated to 3.36.

    gcc(1) now supports the environment variable GCC_OPTIONS, which can hold a
    set of default options for GCC.

    GNATS has been updated to 3.113.

    groff and its related utilities have been updated to FSF version 1.17.2.
    This import brings in a new mdoc(7) macro package (sometimes referred to
    as mdocNG), which removes many of the limitations of its predecessor.

    libpcap has been updated to 0.6.2.

    OpenSSL has been upgraded to 0.9.6a.

    sendmail and associated utilities have been upgraded to version 8.11.6.
    See /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for more information.

    traceroute(8) now takes its default maximum TTL value from the
    net.inet.ip.ttl sysctl variable.

    tcpdump has been updated to 3.6.3.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.3.1.1 CVSup

    CVSup, a frequently used utility in the FreeBSD Ports Collection, was
    formerly installable using several ports and packages. The net/cvsup-bin
    and net/cvsupd-bin ports/packages are no longer necessary or available;
    the net/cvsup port should be used instead.

    CVSup has been updated to 16.1_3, which is available in the FreeBSD Ports
    Collection as net/cvsup. This update fixes a long-standing (but only
    recently encountered) bug which affects the timestamps on all files after
    Sun Sep 9 01:46:40 UTC 2001 (1,000,000,000 seconds after the UNIX epoch).

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.3.1.2 KAME

    The IPv6 stack is now based on a snapshot based on the KAME Project's IPv6
    snapshot as of 28 May, 2001. Most of the items listed in this section are
    a result of this import. Section 2.1.8.2 lists kernel updates to the KAME
    IPv6 stack.

    faithd(8) now supports a configuration file for access control.

    ifconfig(8) can now perform the functions of gifconfig(8).

    ifconfig(8) can now perform the functions of prefix(8). prefix(8) is now a
    shell script for partial backwards compatibility.

    ndp(8) now implements garbage collection for stale NDP entries, as
    described in RFC 2461 (Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6)).

    pim6dd(8) and pim6sd(8) have been removed due to restrictive licensing
    conditions. These programs are available in the ports collection as
    net/pim6dd and net/pim6sd.

    route6d(8) now supports an -n flag to avoid updating the kernel forwarding
    table.

    The -R (router renumbering) option to rtadvd(8) is currently ignored.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    2.3.2 Ports/Packages Collection

    pkg_version(1) now takes a -s flag to limit its operation to
    ports/packages matching a given string.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    3 Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD

    If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely it's
    4.X and there may be some issues affecting you, depending of course on
    your chosen method of upgrading. There are two popular ways of upgrading
    FreeBSD distributions:

    * Using sources, via /usr/src

    * Using the binary upgrade option of sysinstall(8).

    Please read the INSTALL.TXT file for more information, preferably before
    beginning an upgrade. If you are upgrading from source, please be sure to
    read /usr/src/UPDATING as well.

    Finally, if you want to use one of various means to track the -STABLE or
    -CURRENT branches of FreeBSD, please be sure to consult the ``-CURRENT vs.
    -STABLE'' section of the FreeBSD Handbook.

        Evidemment, si tu utilises cvsup*.fr.freebsd.org, je sais qu'ils n'étaient pas a jour. cvsup.uk.freebsd.org l'était.

          Ce que je sais des gens qui ont 2 neurones?

          - qu'ils ont un neurone de trop pour scorer. Moi quand j'aime pas un post j'ai un troisième neurone qui me dit qu'il ne faut pas y répondre.

          - qu'ils sont formidables pour la peche aux couillons. Exemple: j'ai fait quelques petites fautes volontaires ( et aussi des involontaires, c'est vrai ). Maintenant regarde la liste des abrutis qui sont tombés dans le panôôôôt.

          - qu'il leur faudrait un 3eme neurone pour savoir qu'il y a plusieurs anonymes sur ce forum, je le sait puisque je suis anonyme et loin d'être l'auteur de tous les postes anonymes. D'ailleurs je trouve amusant de voir que certains anonymes répondent à ma place.

          Voila ce que je sais des gens qui n'ont que 2 neurones, mais je continue mon enquête :-)
