6aae3517ed2500fb963ba0a4264b4756088dd0f4 - Retire synchronous PPP kernel driver sppp(4).

Thu, 21 Oct 2021 06:08:13 +0200

Retire synchronous PPP kernel driver sppp(4).The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).These devices are still produced and can be purchasedat Cronyx .Since Roman Kurakin has quit them, they nolonger support FreeBSD officially. Later they have droppedsupport for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't evenhave a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However,their support verbally told me that they could provide aid toa FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appearsa new customer for their devices.These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create aninterface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 ontop of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternativelyyou can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enableby default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of thesedrivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilationon amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internalDDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely issafe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, soce(4) remains i386-only.Reviewed by: emaste, imp, donnerDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D32590See also: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D23928 List of files: /freebsd/libexec/rc/netstart

0696600c41600d80bcd993bfd8e675d0ae6951fe - Move the rc framework out of sbin/init into libexec/rc.

Wed, 17 Oct 2018 18:49:11 +0200

Move the rc framework out of sbin/init into libexec/rc.The reasons for this are forward looking to pkgbase: * /sbin/init is a special binary; try not to replace it with every package update because an rc script was touched. (a follow-up commit will make init its own package) * having rc in its own place will allow more easy replacement of the rc framework with alternatives, such as openrc.Discussed with: brd (during BSDCam), kmooreRequested by: cem, bzPR: 231522Approved by: re (gjb) List of files: /freebsd/libexec/rc/netstart
