Subject: Re: upgrading from 2.1.0R to 2.1.5R (Was: BSDi --> FreeBSD)
Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

After I sent my message I got curious too.

% diff /etc/sysconfig /usr/src/etc/sysconfig

On my system (where /etc is the 2.1.0 stuff and /usr/src is 2.1.5)
shows the following changes (summarized):

conversion to /etc/rc.d startup stuff for local startup options
(/etc/rc.local is run if it is present)

mrouted=NO (new option to turn off multicast)

amdflags (new option)

"probably doesn't work" messages removed from quotas and accounting

pccard configuration section

linux emulation option (load LKM at boot)

random interrupts section (looks like kernel support for some sharing
of IRQS between HW devices but that's all the clue I have)

new startup files, rc.firewall (called from netstart), and rc.pccard
(called from rc)

Obviously, the files that do something with these have been modified
as well, these include /etc/rc, /etc/rc.WHATEVER, and /etc/netstart at
least.  Interested parties should probably look in the commit logs for
the details of the changes.  It looks like moving one's configuration
details from 2.1 to 2.1.5 is more than just editing the sysconfig
file.
