From dcafc12e41db0d3fe7bd44bac53e49fc712ea2fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bruce A. Mah" Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 22:27:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Some release notes should have [MERGED] markers on them but didn't: kern.msgbuf sysctl and dmesg(8) not SGID, umodem driver, uscanner driver, fpa(4) works on alpha, arp(8) -s pub/only, TCP_COMPAT_42 removal, bktr(4) update to 2.18, snd module dependencies work, chown(8) -R does the right thing with symlinks, killall(1) works correctly with SUID root processes, strnstr(3)/strcasestr(3), style.perl(7). Remove some somewhat-lacking-in content release notes: PCI subsystem cleanup, netgraph(4) updates. I don't mind reinstating the latter group of release notes, if there's something less vague that can be said about them. --- .../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml | 29 ++++++++----------- .../en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/common/new.sgml | 29 ++++++++----------- 2 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml b/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml index cdf6b8c1db9..1432adde3d3 100644 --- a/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml +++ b/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml @@ -129,7 +129,7 @@ The kernel message buffer is now accessible by the (machine-independent) kern.msgbuf sysctl variable; &man.dmesg.8; no longer needs to be SGID - kmem. + kmem. &merged; The &man.kqueue.2; event notification facility was added to the &os; kernel.
