<p style="text-align: justify;">A while ago I committed the <a title="Sta­tic DTrace probes for the lin­ux­u­la­tor updated" href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2012/02/02/static-dtrace-probes-for-the-linuxulator-updated/">linuxulator D-Trace probes</a> I talked about earlier. I waited a <a title="little bit" href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/tag/little-bit/">little bit</a> for this announcement to make sure I have not broken anything. Nobody complained so far, so I assume nothing obviously bad crept in.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The &gt;500 <a title="probes" href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/tag/probes/">probes</a> I committed do not cover the entire <a href="http://man.freebsd.org/linux" class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title="Linux emulator of FreeBSD" style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://www.leidinger.net/blog/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" rel="external">linuxulator</a>, but are a good start. Adding new ones is straight forward, if someone is interested in a junior–<a title="kernel" href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/category/freebsd/freebsd-src/freebsd-kernel/">kernel</a>–hacker task, this would be one. Just ask me (or ask on <a title="emulation" href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/tag/emulation/">emulation</a>@), and I can guide you through it.</p> <div id="crp_related"><h3>Related Posts:</h3><ul><li><a href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2011/04/19/dtrace-probes-for-the-linuxulator-updated/" rel="bookmark" class="crp_title">DTrace probes for the Linuxulator updated</a></li><li><a href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2011/03/28/new-dtrace-probes-for-the-linuxulator/" rel="bookmark" class="crp_title">New DTrace probes for the linuxulator</a></li><li><a href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2012/02/02/static-dtrace-probes-for-the-linuxulator-updated/" rel="bookmark" class="crp_title">Static DTrace probes for the linuxulator updated</a></li><li><a href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2012/04/15/linuxulator-progress/" rel="bookmark" class="crp_title">Linuxulator progress</a></li><li><a href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2009/11/19/sun-openstorage-presentation/" rel="bookmark" class="crp_title">SUN OpenStorage presentation</a></li></ul></div><p><a class="a2a_dd a2a_target addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save#url=http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2012/05/18/linuxulator-d-trace-probes-committed-to-current/&amp;title=Linuxulator%20D-Trace%20probes%20committed%20to%20current" id="wpa2a_2"><img src="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/wp-content/plugins/add-to-any/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share"/></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PlanetFreebsd/~4/EFHERMtl9Qs" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.leidinger.net/blog/feed/atom/ 2012-05-18T14:36:50Z 0 netchild http://www.Leidinger.net/ http://www.leidinger.net/blog/?p=1009 2012-05-18T14:30:06Z 2012-05-18T14:30:06Z

<p style="text-align: justify;">Seems I forgot to announce that the linux_base-c6 is in the <a title="Ports Collection" href="http://www.leidinger.net/blog/category/freebsd/freebsd-ports/">Ports Collection</a> now.

<p>A number of people have asked if they can upgrade from 9.0-RELEASE to the latest snapshot. Yes you can, if you carefully follow these instructions:</p> <p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> As with any pre-release, there can and will be bugs, so be sure to backup your data to a removable media or another system first.</p> <p>As the superuser, grab and build the newest pc-updatemanager utility. This requires you to first install Development-Qt and Development-VCS packages from Control Panel -&gt; System Manager -&gt; System Packages -&gt; Development.</p> <p># <strong>svn co svn://svn.pcbsd.org/pcbsd/current/src-sh/pc-updatemanager<br /> pc-updatemanager</strong><br /> # <strong>cd pc-updatemanager</strong><br /> # <strong>make install</strong></p> <p>Now edit <em>/usr/local/share/pcbsd/pc-updatemanager/conf/sysupdate.conf</em>:</p> <p>Change <em>PATCHSET:</em> from <em>pcbsd</em> to <em>pcbsdtest</em></p> <p>Now you can scan for updates and you should see a system update to<br /> 9-STABLE-20120505 available. Let the update download as normal, then reboot. The system will reboot twice to update the kernel / world / packages, then you’ll be updated to the newer snapshot.</p> <p>As with any snapshot, please report bugs to the <a href="http://lists.pcbsd.org/mailman/listinfo/testing">testing mailing list</a> so that we can work on fixing them.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PlanetFreebsd/~4/BCWPlZuL1kY" height="1" width="1"/> http://blog.pcbsd.org/feed/ 0 The arrow of time http://ivoras.sharanet.org/blog/index.html http://ivoras.net/blog/tree/2012-05-14.bsdcan-2012---day-2.html 2012-05-14T14:16:00Z 2012-05-14T14:16:00Z

<p>The second, and unfortunately <a href="http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/day_2012-05-12.en.html">the last day of BSDCan was filled with interesting talks</a>, again with much overlap. There are simply so many interesting things going on in FreeBSD that all of them simply don't fit in just two days of conferencing! From all of those, I'd recommend (even though I wasn't able to attend some of them) the talks on <a href="http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/events/303.en.html">netmap</a>, <a href="http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/events/316.en.html">ZFS</a>, <a href="http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/events/334.en.html">AWS</a>, <a href="http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/events/292.en.html">pkgng</a> and <a href="http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/events/332.en.html">IPv6 security</a> - don't miss them when the videos go online!</p> <p><a href="http://ivoras.net/blog/tree/2012-05-14.bsdcan-2012---day-2.html">Read more...</a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PlanetFreebsd/~4/_g01Xmcgkt8" height="1" width="1"/> http://ivoras.sharanet.org/blog/rss2filter.php?category=FreeBSD 0 FreeBSD in the Press http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/press.html http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/press.html#story201205:01 2012-05-14T08:00:00Z 2012-05-14T08:00:00Z

<p>The second day of the <a href="http://wiki.freebsd.org/201205DevSummit">DevSummit</a> continued with interesting technical discussions in the Virtualization track, which was paralleled with the Teaching OS Courses track and the Administration and Toolchain tracks. The BSDCan day began with an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlkw8KH_FwE">epic bagpipe performance</a> followed by <a href="http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/day_2012-05-11.en.html">full four tracks</a> of highly interesting topics - unfortunate as there is much overlap.

As indicated by the Q1-2012 FreeBSD Status Report, LLVM's Clang compiler is quickly replacing GCC for this popular BSD operating system. The developers are also making much progress in a GNU-free C++11 stack. For FreeBSD 10 they're aiming for Clang as the default C/C++ compiler, deprecate GCC, and to have a BSD-licensed C++ stack.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PlanetFreebsd/~4/DUuLjEhawQc" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.freebsd.org/news/press-rss.xml 0 FreeBSD in the Press http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/press.html http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/press.html#story201205:03 2012-05-12T08:00:00Z 2012-05-12T08:00:00Z

For the first three months of the 2012 calendar year, the FreeBSD project achieved a lot when it came to advancing their open operating system.
