------------------------------------------------------------------------ - OpenBSD 6.0 RELEASED ------------------------------------------------- September 1, 2016. We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 6.0. This is our 40th release on CD-ROM (and 41st via FTP/HTTP). We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of more than twenty years with only two remote holes in the default install. As in our previous releases, 6.0 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system: - New/extended platforms: o armv7: - EFI bootloader added, kernels are now loaded from FFS instead of FAT or EXT filesystems, without U-Boot headers. - A single kernel and ramdisk are now used for all SoCs. - Hardware is dynamically enumerated via Flattened Device Tree (FDT) instead of via static tables based on board id numbers. - Miniroot installer images include U-Boot 2016.07 with support for EFI payloads. o vax: - Removed. - Improved hardware support, including: o New bytgpio(4) driver for the Intel Bay Trail GPIO controller. o New chvgpio(4) driver for the Intel Cherry View GPIO controller. o New maxrtc(4) driver for the Maxim DS1307 real time clock. o New nvme(4) driver for the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) host controller interface. o New pcfrtc(4) driver for the NXP PCF8523 real time clock. o New umb(4) driver for the Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM). o New ure(4) driver for RealTek RTL8152 based 10/100 USB Ethernet devices. o New utvfu(4) driver for audio/video capture devices based on the Fushicai USBTV007. o The iwm(4) driver now supports Intel Wireless 3165 and 8260 devices, and works more reliably in RAMDISK kernels. o Support for I2C HID devices with GPIO signalled interrupts has been added to dwiic(4). o Support for larger bus widths, high speed modes, and DMA transfers has been added to sdmmc(4), rtsx(4), sdhc(4), and imxesdhc(4). o Support for EHCI and OHCI compliant USB controllers on Octeon II SoCs. o Many USB device drivers have been enabled on OpenBSD/octeon. o Improved support for hardware-reduced ACPI implementations. o Improved support for ACPI 5.0 implementations. o AES-NI crypto is now done without holding the kernel lock. o Improved AGP support on PowerPC G5 machines. o Added support for the SD card slot in Intel Bay Trail SoCs. o The ichiic(4) driver now ignores the SMBALERT# interrupt to prevent an interrupt storm with buggy BIOS implementations. o Device attachment problems with the axen(4) driver have been fixed. o The ral(4) driver is more stable under load with RT2860 devices. o Problems with dead keyboards after resume have been fixed in the pckbd(4) driver. o The rtsx(4) driver now supports RTS522A devices. o Initial support for MSI-X has been added. o Support MSI-X in the virtio(4) driver. o Added a workaround for hardware DMA overruns to the dc(4) driver. o The acpitz(4) driver now spins the fan down after cooling if ACPI uses hysteresis for active cooling. o The xhci(4) driver now performs handoff from an xHCI-capable BIOS correctly. o Support for multi-touch input has been added to the wsmouse(4) driver. o The uslcom(4) driver now supports the serial console of Aruba 7xxx wireless controllers. o The re(4) driver now works around broken LED configurations in APU1 EEPROMs. o The ehci(4) driver now works around problems with ATI USB controllers (e.g. SB700). o The xen(4) driver now supports domU configuration under Qubes OS. - IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements: o The HT block ack receive buffer logic follows the algorithm given in the 802.11-2012 spec more closely. o The iwn(4) driver now keeps track of HT protection changes while associated to an 11n AP. o The wireless stack and several drivers make more aggressive use of RTS/CTS to avoid interference from legacy devices and hidden nodes. o The netstat(1) -W command now shows information about 802.11n events. o In hostap mode, do not reuse association IDs of nodes which are still cached. Fixes a problem where an access point using the ral(4) driver would get stuck at 1 Mbps because Tx rate accounting happened on the wrong node object. - Generic network stack improvements: o The routing table is now based on ART offering a faster lookup. o The number of route lookup per packet has been reduced to 1 in the forwarding path. o The prio field on VLAN headers is now correctly set on each fragment of an IPv4 packet going out on a vlan(4) interface. o Enabled device cloning for bpf(4). This allows the system to have just one bpf device node in /dev that services all bpf consumers (up to 1024). o The Tx queue of the cnmac(4) driver can now be processed in parallel of the rest of the kernel. o Network input path is now run in thread context. - Installer improvements: o updated list of restricted usercodes o install.sh and upgrade.sh merged into install.sub o update automatically runs sysmerge(8) in batch mode before fw_update(1) o questions and answers are logged in a format that can be used as a response file for use by autoinstall(8) o /usr/local is set to wxallowed during install - Routing daemons and other userland network improvements: o Add routing table support to rc.d(8) and rcctl(8). o Let nc(1) support service names in addition to port numbers. o Add -M and -m TTL flags to nc(1). o Add AF_UNIX support to tcpbench(1). o Fixed a regression in rarpd(8). The daemon could hang if it was idle for a long time. o Added the llprio option in ifconfig(8). o Multiple programs that use bpf(4) have been modified to take advantage of bpf(4) device cloning by opening /dev/bpf0 instead of looping through /dev/bpf* devices. These programs include arp(8), dhclient(8), dhcpd(8), dhcrelay(8), hostapd(8), mopd(8), npppd(8), rarpd(8), rbootd(8), and tcpdump(8). The libpcap library has also been modified accordingly. - Security improvements: o W^X is now strictly enforced by default; a program can only violate it if the executable is marked with PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED and is located on a filesystem mounted with the wxallowed mount(8) option. Because there are still too many ports which violate W^X, the installer mounts the /usr/local filesystem with wxallowed. This allows the base system to be more secure as long as /usr/local is a separate filesystem. If you use no W^X violating programs, consider manually revoking that option. o The setjmp(3) family of functions now apply XOR cookies to stack and return-address values in the jmpbuf on amd64, hppa, i386, mips64, and powerpc. o SROP mitigation: sigreturn(2) can now only be used by the kernel-provided signal trampoline, with a cookie to detect attempts to reuse it. o To deter code reuse exploits, rc(8) re-links libc.so on startup, placing the objects in a random order. o In the getpwnam(3) family of functions, stop opening the shadow database by default. o Allow tcpdump(8) -r to be started without root privileges. o Remove systrace. o Remove Linux emulation support. o Remove support for the usermount option. o The TCP SYN cache reseeds its random hash function from time to time. This prevents an attacker from calculating the distribution of the hash function with a timing attack. o To work against SYN flooding attacks the administrator can change the size of the hash array now. netstat(1) -s -p tcp shows the relevant information to tune the SYN cache with sysctl(8) net.inet.tcp. o The administrator can require root privileges for binding to some TCP and UDP ports with sysctl(8) net.inet.tcp.rootonly and sysctl(8) net.inet.udp.rootonly. o Remove a function pointer from the mbuf(9) data structure and use an index into an array of acceptable functions instead. - Assorted improvements: o The thread library can now be loaded into a single-threaded process. o Improved symbol handling and standards compliance in libc. For example, defining an open() function will no longer interfere with the operation of fopen(3). o PT_TLS sections are now supported in initially loaded object. o Improved handling of "no paths" and "empty path" in fts(3). o In pcap(3), provide the functions pcap_free_datalinks() and pcap_offline_filter(). o Many bugfixes and structural cleanup in the editline(3) library. o Remove ancient dbm(3) functions; ndbm(3) remains. o Add setenv keyword for more powerful environment handling in doas.conf(5). o Add -g and -p options to aucat.1 for time positioning. o Rewrite audioctl(1) with a simpler user interface. o Add -F option to install(1) to fsync(2) the file before closing it. o kdump(1) now dumps pollfd structures. o Improve various details of ksh(1) POSIX compliance. o mknod(8) rewritten in a pledge(2)-friendly style and to support creating multiple devices at once. o Implement rcctl(8) get all and getdef all. o Implement the rcs(1) -I (interactive) flag. o In rcs(1), implement Mdocdate keyword substitution. o In top(1), allow to filter process arguments if they are being displayed. o Added UTF-8 support to fold(1) and rev(1). o Enable UTF-8 by default in xterm(1) and pod2man(1). o Filter out non-ASCII characters in wall(1). o Handle the COLUMNS environment variable consistently across many programs. o The options -c and -k allow to provide TLS client certificates for syslogd(8) on the sending side. With that the receiving side can verify log messages are authentic. Note that syslogd does not have this check feature yet. o When the klog buffer overflows, syslogd will write a log message to show that some entries is missing. o On OpenBSD/octeon, CPU cache write buffering is enabled to improve performance. o pkg_add(1) and pkg_info(1) now understand a notion of branch to ease selection of some popular packages such as python or php, e.g., say pkg_add python%3.4 to select the 3.4 branch, and use pkg_info -zm to get a fuzzy listing with branch selection suitable for pkg_add -l. o fdisk(8) and pdisk(8) immediately exit unless passed a character special device o st(4) correctly tracks the current block count for variable sized blocks o fsck_ext2fs(8) works again o softraid(4) volumes can be constructed with disks that have a sector size other than 512 bytes o dhclient(8) DECLINE's and discards unused OFFER's. o dhclient(8) immediately exits if its interface (e.g. a bridge(4)) returns EAFNOSUPPORT when a packet is sent. o httpd(8) returns 400 Bad Request for HTTP v0.9 requests. o ffs2's lazy node initialization avoids treating random disk data as an inode o fcntl(2) invocations in base programs use the idiom fcntl(n,F_GETFL) instead of fcntl(n,F_GETFL,0) o socket(2) and accept4(2) invocations in base programs use SOCK_NONBLOCK to eliminate the need for a separate fcntl(2). o tmpfs not enabled by default o the in-kernel semantics of pledge(2) were improved in numerous ways. Highlights include: a new chown promise that allows pledged programs to set setugid attributes, a stricter enforcement of the recvfd promise and chroot(2) is no longer allowed for pledged programs. o a number of pledge(2)-related bugs (missing promises, unintended changes of behavior, crashes) were fixed, notably in gzip(1), nc(1), sed(1), skeyinit(1), stty(1), and various disk-related utilities, such as disklabel(8) and fdisk(8). o Block size calculation errors in the audio(4) driver have been fixed. o The usb(4) driver now caches vendor and product IDs. Fixes an issue where usbdevs(8) called in a loop would cause a USB mass storage device to halt operation. o The rsu(4) and ural(4) drivers are now working again after they were accidentally broken in 5.9. - OpenSMTPD 6.0.0 o Security: - Implement the fork+exec pattern in smtpd(8). - Fix a logic issue in the SMTP state machine that can lead to an invalid state and result in a crash. - Plug a file-pointer leak that can lead to resource exhaustion and result in a crash. - Use automatic DH parameters instead of fixed ones. - Disable DHE by default since it is computationally expensive and a potential DoS vector. o The following improvements were brought in this release: - Add the -r option to the smtpd(8) enqueuer for compatibility with mailx. - Add missing date or message-id when listening on the submit port. - Fix "smtpctl show queue" reporting "invalid" envelope state. - Rework the format of the "Received" header so that the TLS part does not violate the RFC. - Increase the number of connections a local address is allowed to establish, and decrease the delay between transactions in the same session. - Fix LMTP delivery to servers returning continuation lines. - Further improve the still experimental filer API and fix various related issues. - Start improving and unifying the format of log messages. - Fix several documentation discrepancies and typos in the man pages. - OpenSSH 7.3 o Security: - sshd(8): Mitigate a potential denial-of-service attack against the system's crypt(3) function via sshd(8). An attacker could send very long passwords that would cause excessive CPU use in crypt(3). sshd(8) now refuses to accept password authentication requests of length greater than 1024 characters. - sshd(8): Mitigate timing differences in password authentication that could be used to discern valid from invalid account names when long passwords were sent and particular password hashing algorithms are in use on the server. CVE-2016-6210. - ssh(1), sshd(8): Fix observable timing weakness in the CBC padding oracle countermeasures. Note that CBC ciphers are disabled by default and only included for legacy compatibility. - ssh(1), sshd(8): Improve ordering ordering of MAC verification for Encrypt-then-MAC (EtM) mode transport MAC algorithms to verify the MAC before decrypting any ciphertext. This removes the possibility of timing differences leaking facts about the plaintext, though no such leakage is known. o New/changed features: - ssh(1): Add a ProxyJump option and corresponding -J command-line flag to allow simplified indirection through a one or more SSH bastions or "jump hosts". - ssh(1): Add an IdentityAgent option to allow specifying specific agent sockets instead of accepting one from the environment. - ssh(1): Allow ExitOnForwardFailure and ClearAllForwardings to be optionally overridden when using ssh -W. (bz#2577) - ssh(1), sshd(8): Implement support for the IUTF8 terminal mode as per draft-sgtatham-secsh-iutf8-00. - ssh(1), sshd(8): Add support for additional fixed Diffie-Hellman 2K, 4K and 8K groups from draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-kex-sha2-03. - ssh-keygen(1), ssh(1), sshd(8): support SHA256 and SHA512 RSA signatures in certificates. - ssh(1): Add an Include directive for ssh_config(5) files. - ssh(1): Permit UTF-8 characters in pre-authentication banners sent from the server. (bz#2058) o The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release: - In scp(1) and sftp(1), prevent screwing up terminal settings by escaping bytes not forming ASCII or UTF-8 characters. - ssh(1), sshd(8): Reduce the syslog level of some relatively common protocol events from LOG_CRIT. (bz#2585) - sshd(8): Refuse AuthenticationMethods="" in configurations and accept AuthenticationMethods=any for the default behaviour of not requiring multiple authentication. (bz#2398) - sshd(8): Remove obsolete and misleading "POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!" message when forward and reverse DNS don't match. (bz#2585) - ssh(1): Close ControlPersist background process stderr except in debug mode or when logging to syslog. (bz#1988) - misc: Make PROTOCOL description for direct-streamlocal@openssh.com channel open messages match deployed code. (bz#2529) - ssh(1): Deduplicate LocalForward and RemoteForward entries to fix failures when both ExitOnForwardFailure and hostname canonicalisation are enabled. (bz#2562) - sshd(8): Remove fallback from moduli to obsolete "primes" file that was deprecated in 2001. (bz#2559) - sshd_config(5): Correct description of UseDNS: it affects ssh hostname processing for authorized_keys, not known_hosts. (bz#2554) - ssh(1): Fix authentication using lone certificate keys in an agent without corresponding private keys on the filesystem. (bz#2550) - sshd(8): Send ClientAliveInterval pings when a time-based RekeyLimit is set; previously keepalive packets were not being sent. (bz#2252) - OpenNTPD 6.0 o When a single "constraint" is specified, try all returned addresses until one succeeds, rather than the first returned address. o Relaxed the constraint error margin to be proportional to the number of NTP peers, avoid constant reconnections when there is a bad NTP peer. o Removed disabled hotplug(4) sensor support. o Added support for detecting crashes in constraint subprocesses. o Moved the execution of constraints from the ntp process to the parent process, allowing for better privilege separation since the ntp process can be further restricted. o Added pledge(2) support. o Fixed high CPU usage when the network is down. o Fixed various memory leaks. o Switched to RMS for jitter calculations. o Unified logging functions with other OpenBSD base programs. o Set MOD_MAXERROR to avoid unsynced time status when using ntp_adjtime. o Fixed HTTP Timestamp header parsing to use strptime(3) in a more portable fashion. o Hardened TLS for ntpd(8) constraints, enabling server name verification. - LibreSSL 2.4.2 o User-visible features: - Fixed some broken manpage links in the install target. - cert.pem has been reorganized and synced with Mozilla's certificate store. - Reliability fix, correcting an error when parsing certain ASN.1 elements over 16k in size. - Implemented the IETF ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher suites. - Fixed password prompts from openssl(1) to properly handle ^C. o Code improvements: - Fixed an nginx compatibility issue by adding an 'install_sw' build target. - Changed default EVP_aead_chacha20_poly1305(3) implementation to the IETF version, which is now the default. - Reworked error handling in libtls so that configuration errors are more visible. - Added missing error handling around bn_wexpand(3) calls. - Added explicit_bzero(3) calls for freed ASN.1 objects. - Fixed X509_*set_object functions to return 0 on allocation failure. - Deprecated internal use of EVP_[Cipher|Encrypt|Decrypt]_Final. - Fixed a problem that prevents the DSA signing algorithm from running in constant time even if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set. - Fixed several issues in the OCSP code that could result in the incorrect generation and parsing of OCSP requests. This remediates a lack of error checking on time parsing in these functions, and ensures that only GENERALIZEDTIME formats are accepted for OCSP, as per RFC 6960. o The following CVEs have been fixed: - CVE-2016-2105--EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow. - CVE-2016-2106--EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow. - CVE-2016-2107--padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check. - CVE-2016-2108--memory corruption in the ASN.1 encoder. - CVE-2016-2109--ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation. - Ports and packages: o New proot(1) tool in the ports tree for building packages in a chroot. o Many pre-built packages for each architecture: - alpha: 7422 - mips64: 7921 - amd64: 9433 - mips64el: 7767 - hppa: 6346 - powerpc: 8318 - i386: 9394 - sparc64: 8750 - Some highlights: o Afl 2.19b o Mozilla Thunderbird 45.2.0 o Chromium 51.0.2704.106 o Mutt 1.6.2 o Emacs 21.4 and 24.5 o Node.js 4.4.5 o GCC 4.9.3 o Ocaml 4.3.0 o GHC 7.10.3 o OpenLDAP 2.3.43 and 2.4.44 o Gimp 2.8.16 o PHP 5.5.37, 5.6.23, and 7.0.8 o GNOME 3.20.2 o Postfix 3.1.1 and 3.2-20160515 o Go 1.6.3 o PostgreSQL 9.5.3 o Groff 1.22.3 o Python 2.7.12, 3.4.5, and 3.5.2 o JDK 7u80 and 8u72 o R 3.3.1 o KDE 3.5.10 and 4.14.3 (plus o Ruby 1.8.7.374, 2.0.0.648, 2.1.9, KDE4 core updates) 2.2.5, and 2.3.1 o LLVM/Clang 3.8.0 o Rust 1.9.0-20160608 o LibreOffice 5.1.4.2 o Sendmail 8.15.2 o Lua 5.1.5, 5.2.4, and 5.3.3 o Sudo 1.8.17.1 o MariaDB 10.0.25 o Tcl/Tk 8.5.18 and 8.6.4 o Mono 4.4.0.182 o TeX Live 2015 o Mozilla Firefox 45.2.0esr and o Vim 7.4.1467 47.0.1 o Xfce 4.12 - As usual, steady improvements in manual pages and other documentation. - The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers: o Xenocara (based on X.Org 7.7 with xserver 1.18.3 + patches, freetype 2.6.3, fontconfig 2.11.1, Mesa 11.2.2, xterm 322, xkeyboard-config 2.18 and more) o GCC 4.2.1 (+ patches) and 3.3.6 (+ patches) o Perl 5.20.3 (+ patches) o SQLite 3.9.2 (+ patches) o NSD 4.1.10 o Unbound 1.5.9 o Ncurses 5.7 o Binutils 2.17 (+ patches) o Gdb 6.3 (+ patches) o Awk Aug 10, 2011 version o Expat 2.1.1 If you'd like to see a list of what has changed between OpenBSD 5.9 and 6.0, look at http://www.OpenBSD.org/plus60.html Even though the list is a summary of the most important changes made to OpenBSD, it still is a very very long list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - SECURITY AND ERRATA -------------------------------------------------- We provide patches for known security threats and other important issues discovered after each CD release. As usual, between the creation of the OpenBSD 6.0 HTTP/CD-ROM binaries and the actual 6.0 release date, our team found and fixed some new reliability problems (note: most are minor and in subsystems that are not enabled by default). Our continued research into security means we will find new security problems -- and we always provide patches as soon as possible. Therefore, we advise regular visits to http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html and http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - MAILING LISTS -------------------------------------------------------- Mailing lists are an important means of communication among users and developers of OpenBSD. For information on OpenBSD mailing lists, please see: http://www.OpenBSD.org/mail.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - CD-ROM SALES --------------------------------------------------------- OpenBSD 6.0 is also available on CD-ROM. The 3-CD set costs 44 EUR and is available via web order worldwide. The CD set includes a colourful booklet which carefully explains the installation of OpenBSD. A new set of cute little stickers is also included (sorry, but our HTTP mirror sites do not support STP, the Sticker Transfer Protocol). As an added bonus, the second CD contains audio tracks for six songs: "Another Smash of the Stack", "Black Hat", "Money", "Comfortably Dumb (the misc song)", "Mother", and "Goodbye". MP3 and OGG versions of the audio tracks can be found on the first CD. Lyrics (and an explanation) for the songs may be found at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#60 Profits from CD sales are the primary income source for the OpenBSD project -- in essence selling these CD-ROM units ensures that OpenBSD will continue to make another release six months from now. The OpenBSD 6.0 CD-ROMs are bootable on the following platforms: o i386 o amd64 o macppc o sparc64 (Other platforms must boot from network, floppy, or other method). For more information on ordering CD-ROMs, see: http://www.OpenBSD.org/orders.html All of our developers strongly urge you to buy a CD-ROM and support our future efforts. Additionally, donations to the project are highly appreciated, as described in more detail at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/donations.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - OPENBSD FOUNDATION --------------------------------------------------- For those unable to make their contributions as straightforward gifts, the OpenBSD Foundation (http://www.openbsdfoundation.org) is a Canadian not-for-profit corporation that can accept larger contributions and issue receipts. In some situations, their receipt may qualify as a business expense write-off, so this is certainly a consideration for some organizations or businesses. There may also be exposure benefits since the Foundation may be interested in participating in press releases. In turn, the Foundation then uses these contributions to assist OpenBSD's infrastructure needs. Contact the foundation directors at directors@openbsdfoundation.org for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - T-SHIRT SALES -------------------------------------------------------- The OpenBSD distribution company also sells T-shirts with new and old designs and other merchandise, available from its web ordering system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - HTTP INSTALLS -------------------------------------------------------- If you choose not to buy an OpenBSD CD-ROM, OpenBSD can be easily installed via HTTP downloads. Typically you need a single small piece of boot media (e.g., a USB flash drive) and then the rest of the files can be installed from a number of locations, including directly off the Internet. Follow this simple set of instructions to ensure that you find all of the documentation you will need while performing an install via HTTP. With the CD-ROMs, the necessary documentation is easier to find. 1) Read either of the following two files for a list of HTTP mirrors which provide OpenBSD, then choose one near you: http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ftplist As of September 1, 2016, the following HTTP mirror sites have the 6.0 release: http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ Stockholm, Sweden http://ftp.bytemine.net/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ Oldenburg, Germany http://ftp.ch.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ Zurich, Switzerland http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ Paris, France http://ftp5.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ Vienna, Austria http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ Brisbane, Australia http://ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ CO, USA http://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ CA, USA http://mirror.esc7.net/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ TX, USA The release is also available at the master site: http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ Alberta, Canada However it is strongly suggested you use a mirror. Other mirror sites may take a day or two to update. 2) Connect to that HTTP mirror site and go into the directory pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ which contains these files and directories. This is a list of what you will see: ANNOUNCEMENT alpha/ luna88k/ sparc64/ Changelogs/ amd64/ macppc/ src.tar.gz HARDWARE armish/ octeon/ sys.tar.gz PACKAGES armv7/ packages/ tools/ PORTS hppa/ ports.tar.gz xenocara.tar.gz README i386/ root.mail zaurus/ SHA256 landisk/ sgi/ SHA256.sig loongson/ socppc/ It is quite likely that you will want at LEAST the following files which apply to all the architectures OpenBSD supports. README - generic README HARDWARE - list of hardware we support PORTS - description of our ports tree PACKAGES - description of pre-compiled packages root.mail - a copy of root's mail at initial login. (This is really worthwhile reading). 3) Read the README file. It is short, and a quick read will make sure you understand what else you need to fetch. 4) Next, go into the directory that applies to your architecture, for example, amd64. This is a list of what you will see: BOOTIA32.EFI* bsd* floppy60.fs pxeboot* BOOTX62.EFI* bsd.mp* game60.tgz xbase60.tgz BUILDINFO bsd.rd* index.txt xfont60.tgz INSTALL.amd64 cd60.iso install60.fs xserv60.tgz SHA256 cdboot* install60.iso xshare60.tgz SHA256.sig cdbr* man60.tgz base60.tgz comp60.tgz miniroot60.fs If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.amd64 and install60.iso. The install60.iso file (roughly 240MB in size) is a one-step ISO-format install CD image which contains the various *.tgz files so you do not need to fetch them separately. If you prefer to use a USB flash drive, fetch install60.fs and follow the instructions in INSTALL.amd64. 5) If you are an expert, follow the instructions in the file called README; otherwise, use the more complete instructions in the file called INSTALL.amd64. INSTALL.amd64 may tell you that you need to fetch other files. 6) Just in case, take a peek at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html This is the page where we talk about the mistakes we made while creating the 6.0 release, or the significant bugs we fixed post-release which we think our users should have fixes for. Patches and workarounds are clearly described there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - X.ORG FOR MOST ARCHITECTURES ----------------------------------------- X.Org has been integrated more closely into the system. This release contains X.Org 7.7. Most of our architectures ship with X.Org, including amd64, sparc64 and macppc. During installation, you can install X.Org quite easily. Be sure to try out xdm(1) and see how we have customized it for OpenBSD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - PORTS TREE ----------------------------------------------------------- The OpenBSD ports tree contains automated instructions for building third party software. The software has been verified to build and run on the various OpenBSD architectures. The 6.0 ports collection is included on the 3-CD set. Please see the PORTS file for more information. Note: a few popular ports, e.g., NSD, Unbound, and several X applications, come standard with OpenBSD. Also, many popular ports have been pre-compiled for those who do not desire to build their own binaries (see BINARY PACKAGES, below). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - BINARY PACKAGES ------------------------------------------------------ A large number of binary packages are provided. Please see the PACKAGES file (http://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/PACKAGES) for more details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - SYSTEM SOURCE CODE --------------------------------------------------- The CD-ROMs contain source code for all the subsystems explained above, and the README (http://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/README) file explains how to deal with these source files. For those who are doing an HTTP install, the source code for all four subsystems can be found in the pub/OpenBSD/6.0/ directory: xenocara.tar.gz ports.tar.gz src.tar.gz sys.tar.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - THANKS --------------------------------------------------------------- Ports tree and package building by Pierre-Emmanuel Andre, Landry Breuil, Visa Hankala, Stuart Henderson, and Christian Weisgerber. Base and X system builds by Kenji Aoyama, Theo de Raadt, Jonathan Gray, Visa Hankala, and Tobias Ulmer. ISO-9660 filesystem layout by Theo de Raadt. We would like to thank all of the people who sent in bug reports, bug fixes, donation cheques, and hardware that we use.
