@syllopsium @craig1black The problem is not so much SSE2 as a baseline (you can easily compile programs without SSE2, which we do for the i386 port), but things wanting 8 byte atomics, which only work on i586 and newer. 486-class is still perfectly usable for little embedded boxes though.

3 new security advisories for core dumps, mail.local, and procfs. These are optional components, so it's possible to work around, but you can also update the kernel and mail.local to the latest snapshot from the 9-stable branch.

@ReimuNotMoe This does not happen often because there is a lot of older code in the NetBSD kernel that makes it legally impossible to mix with GPL code. It only happens when the drivers are dual-licensed (e.g. the graphics stack)

@ReimuNotMoe Standard "unified diffs and email" workflow, you can choose which version control system to use, as long as the patch applies to cvs trunk. "... Do I need a machine running NetBSD?" No, our build system cross-compiles on anything Unix-like. But why would you not have one? ;)

@mostly_bsd maybe look at Anita, it's a python script for creating NetBSD test VMs for many archs, including gxemul/mips. it's used for official test runs. it's possible this kernel doesn't automatically detect the root fs so it needs manual input, or recompiling with it in the config
