561: 'roa-set expires' attribute to prevent machines from loading outdated
562: roa-sets.
1.39 benno 563: <li>In RRDP, limited the number of deltas to 300 per repo. If more deltas
564: exist, downloading a full snapshot is faster.

566: the current depth seen in RPKI.
1.1 benno 567: </ul>
568:
1.41 benno 569: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/traceroute.8">traceroute(8)</a> was improved:

1.41 benno 571: <li>Probe packets are now sent in quick succession and responses handled asynchronously.</li>
572: <li>DNS lookups are performed asynchronously.</li>
573: This speeds up the time required to display results considerably.
1.1 benno 574: </ul>
575:
1.41 benno 576: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhcpleased.8">dhcpleased(8)</a> was made
577: the default program for configuring IPv4 addresses via DHCP. <a
578: href="https://man.openbsd.org/resolvd.8">resolvd(8)</a> was activated
579: to handle concurrent changes to <a
580: href="https://man.openbsd.org/resolv.conf.5">resolv.conf(5)</a> by
581: both dhcpleased(8) and <a
582: href="https://man.openbsd.org/slaacd.8">slaacd(8)</a>.<br>
1.51 fcambus 583: Additionally these programs saw the following improvements and bugfixes:

587: identifier transmission to match other dhcp client implementations.
588: <li>Simplified <a
589: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhcpleasectl.8">dhcpleasectl(8)</a> and
590: added syntax to match <a
591: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhclient.8">dhclient(8)</a> (interface),
592: allowing one to be aliased to the other.
593: <li>Retried broadcast with <a
594: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhcpleased.8">dhcpleased(8)</a> when the
595: dhcp server is unreachable via unicast UDP.
596: <li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/resolvd.8">resolvd(8)</a>

601: servers entirely.
1.41 benno 602: <li><!-- XXX what does this mean? -->Left <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/resolv.conf.5">resolv.conf(5)</a> to <a

610: <li>Fixed potential races in <a
611: href="https://man.openbsd.org/slaacd.8">slaacd(8)</a> and <a
612: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhcpleased.8">dhcpleased(8)</a> when two
613: processes are configuring the same IP.
614: <li>Added the possibility to send vendor class identifier and client
615: identifier using <a
616: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhcpleased.conf.5">dhcpleased.conf(5)</a>.

622: href="https://man.openbsd.org/resolvd.8">resolvd(8)</a>, <a
623: href="https://man.openbsd.org/slaacd.8">slaacd(8)</a> and <a
624: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhcpleased.8">dhcpleased(8)</a>.
625: <li>Implemented classless static routes dhcp option in <a
626: href="https://man.openbsd.org/dhcpleased.8">dhcpleased(8)</a>.
627: <li>Added a new "nameserver" command to <a
628: href="https://man.openbsd.org/route.8">route(8)</a>, sending
629: nameserver proposals to <a
630: href="https://man.openbsd.org/resolvd.8">resolvd(8)</a> using the dns
631: proposal protocol over the route socket. This command is intended be

1054: <section id=sourcecode>
1055: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
1056: <p>
1057: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1058: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1059: which are in a separate archive.
1060: To extract:
1061: <blockquote><pre>
1062: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1063: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1064: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1065: </pre></blockquote>
1066: <p>
1067: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1068: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1069: To extract:
1070: <blockquote><pre>
1071: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1072: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1073: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1074: </pre></blockquote>
1075: <p>
1076: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1077: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1078: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1079: Using these files
1080: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1081: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1087: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
1088: <p>
1089: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
1090: <blockquote><pre>
1091: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
1092: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
1093: </pre></blockquote>
1094: <p>
1095: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1096: if you know nothing about ports
1097: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1098: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1099: OpenBSD ports system.
1100: <p>
1101: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1102: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1103: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1104: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1105: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1106: with a command like:
1107: <blockquote><pre>
1108: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1109: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_0</kbd>
1110: </pre></blockquote>
1111: <p>
1112: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1113: server.]
1114: <p>
1115: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1116: ports for the 7.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
1117: <p>
1118: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1119: would like to know more, the mailing list
1120: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
