powerpc: Update CPUTYPE options in make.conf

2026-01-06T04:22:20+00:00

Document the supported PPC/POWER CPUTYPEs in the example make.conf.

Update bsd.cpu.mk to handle CPUs newer than POWER9, and remove
32-bit CPUTYPEs since we no longer support those at all.

Remove ftpd(8)

2025-09-29T21:53:34+00:00

This was previously deprecated and is slated for removal in 15.0.
Users who still need ftpd(8) can install the ftp/freebsd-ftpd port.

Retain the ftp(d) PAM services since other FTP daemons use them.

Update /etc/inetd.conf to point to /usr/local.

Add ftpd to ObsoleteFiles, but do not list configuration files since
users may want to preserve these to use with the freebsd-ftpd port.

There is still some language in the manual referring to ftpd(8)
which is relevant to the port, which has been retained but updated
to reference the port.

share/examples: clarify BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED

2023-08-17T17:46:42+00:00

Give an example of why one may want to override BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED so
that it's clear why the default (in a comment) and the commented-out
example setting have different values.

Use 115200 bps by default for serial communication

2023-08-17T17:31:38+00:00

9600 was a standard baud rate decades ago, but 115200 is now more common
so choose defaults that are useful to the largest number of users.

Note that boot0sio does not support rates above 9600 so it remains
unchanged.

Remove portsnap(8)

2023-04-23T01:12:37+00:00

Rather than having a tool in the FreeBSD base system for obtaining
the FreeBSD ports tree, users are encouraged to `pkg install git`
and then `git clone https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git /usr/ports`.

The portsnap servers will continue operating until FreeBSD 13 reaches
its End-of-Life, and portsnap is available from the ports tree as
ports-mgmt/portsnap.
