In general, if a command does not have command line option to specify outgoing interface, that command is not ready to accept scoped address.

+Then you can test jumbo payloads by the man:ping[8] command with -6, -b and -s options.
The -b option must be specified to enlarge the size of the socket buffer and the -s option specifies the length of the packet, which should be more than 65,535.
For example, type as follows:
[source,bash]
....
-% ping6 -b 70000 -s 68000 ::1
+% ping -6 -b 70000 -s 68000 ::1
....
The IPv6 specification requires that the Jumbo Payload option must not be used in a packet that carries a fragment header.

@@ -87,191 +87,28 @@ The role of the maintainer is as follows:
Some parts of the FreeBSD distribution consist of software that is actively being maintained outside the FreeBSD project.
For historical reasons, we call this _contributed_ software.
-Some examples are sendmail, gcc and patch.
+Some examples are LLVM, man:zlib[3], and man:awk[1].
-Over the last couple of years, various methods have been used in dealing with this type of software and all have some number of advantages and drawbacks.
-No clear winner has emerged.
+The accepted procedure for managing contributed software involves creating a _vendor branch_, where the software can be imported cleanly (without modification) and updates can be tracked in a versioned manner.
+Then, the content of the vendor branch is applied to the source tree, possibly with local modifications.
+FreeBSD-specific build glue is maintained in the source tree, not in the vendor branch.
-Since this is the case, after some debate one of these methods has been selected as the "official" method and will be required for future imports of software of this kind.
-Furthermore, it is strongly suggested that existing contributed software converge on this model over time, as it has significant advantages over the old method, including the ability to easily obtain diffs relative to the "official" versions of the source by everyone (even without direct repository access).
-This will make it significantly easier to return changes to the primary developers of the contributed software.
+Depending on their needs and complexity, individual software projects may deviate from this procedure, at the discretion of the maintainer.
+The exact steps required to update a particular piece of contributed software should be recorded in a file named `FREEBSD-upgrade`;
+for example, link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/contrib/libarchive/FREEBSD-upgrade[libarchive's FREEBSD-upgrade file].
-Ultimately, however, it comes down to the people actually doing the work.
-If using this model is particularly unsuited to the package being dealt with, exceptions to these rules may be granted only with the approval of the core team and with the general consensus of the other developers.
-The ability to maintain the package in the future will be a key issue in the decisions.
+Contributed software is usually placed in the [.filepath]#contrib/# subdirectory of the source tree, with some exceptions.
+Contributed software used only by the kernel lives under [.filepath]#sys/contrib/#.
[NOTE]
====
Because it makes it harder to import future versions minor, trivial and/or cosmetic changes are _strongly discouraged_ on files that are still tracking the vendor branch.

-[[vendor-import-svn]]
-=== Vendor Imports with SVN
-
-This section describes the vendor import procedure with Subversion in details.
-
-[.procedure]
-. *Preparing the Tree*
-+
-If this is your first import after the switch to SVN, you will have to flatten and clean up the vendor tree, and bootstrap merge history in the main tree.
-If not, you can safely omit this step.
-+
-During the conversion from CVS to SVN, vendor branches were imported with the same layout as the main tree.
-For example, the foo vendor sources ended up in [.filename]#vendor/foo/dist/contrib/foo#, but it is pointless and rather inconvenient.
-What we really want is to have the vendor source directly in [.filename]#vendor/foo/dist#, like this:
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% cd vendor/foo/dist/contrib/foo
-% svn move $(svn list) ../..
-% cd ../..
-% svn remove contrib
-% svn propdel -R svn:mergeinfo
-% svn commit
-....
-+
-Note that, the `propdel` bit is necessary because starting with 1.5, Subversion will automatically add `svn:mergeinfo` to any directory you copy or move.
-In this case, you will not need this information, since you are not going to merge anything from the tree you deleted.
-+
-[NOTE]
-====
-You may want to flatten the tags as well.
-The procedure is exactly the same.
-If you do this, put off the commit until the end.
-====
-+
-Check the [.filename]#dist# tree and perform any cleanup that is deemed to be necessary.
-You may want to disable keyword expansion, as it makes no sense on unmodified vendor code.
-In some cases, it can be even be harmful.
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% svn propdel svn:keywords -R .
-% svn commit
-....
-+
-Bootstrapping of `svn:mergeinfo` on the target directory (in the main tree) to the revision that corresponds to the last change was made to the vendor tree prior to importing new sources is also needed:
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% cd head/contrib/foo
-% svn merge --record-only ^/vendor/foo/dist@12345678 .
-% svn commit
-....
-+
-With some shells, the `^` in the above command may need to be escaped with a backslash.
-. *Importing New Sources*
-+
-Prepare a full, clean tree of the vendor sources.
-With SVN, we can keep a full distribution in the vendor tree without bloating the main tree.
-Import everything but merge only what is needed.
-+
-Note that you will need to add any files that were added since the last vendor import, and remove any that were removed.
-To facilitate this, you should prepare sorted lists of the contents of the vendor tree and of the sources you are about to import:
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% cd vendor/foo/dist
-% svn list -R | grep -v '/$' | sort > ../old
-% cd ../foo-9.9
-% find . -type f | cut -c 3- | sort > ../new
-....
-+
-With these two files, the following command will list removed files (files only in [.filename]#old#):
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% comm -23 ../old ../new
-....
-+
-While the command below will list added files (files only in [.filename]#new#):
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% comm -13 ../old ../new
-....
-+
-Let us put this together:
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% cd vendor/foo/foo-9.9
-% tar cf - . | tar xf - -C ../dist
-% cd ../dist
-% comm -23 ../old ../new | xargs svn remove
-% comm -13 ../old ../new | xargs svn add
-....
-+
-[WARNING]
-====
-If there are new directories in the new distribution, the last command will fail.
-You will have to add the directories, and run it again.
-Conversely, if any directories were removed, you will have to remove them manually.
-====

-Check properties on any new files:
-
-** All text files should have `svn:eol-style` set to `native`.
-** All binary files should have `svn:mime-type` set to `application/octet-stream`, unless there is a more appropriate media type.
-** Executable files should have `svn:executable` set to `*`.
-** There should be no other properties on any file in the tree.
-+
-[NOTE]
-====
-You are ready to commit, but you should first check the output of `svn stat` and `svn diff` to make sure everything is in order.
-====
-+
-Once you have committed the new vendor release, you should tag it for future reference.
-The best and quickest way is to do it directly in the repository:
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% svn copy ^/vendor/foo/dist svn_base/vendor/foo/9.9
-....
-+
-To get the new tag, you can update your working copy of [.filename]#vendor/foo#.
-+
-[NOTE]
-====
-If you choose to do the copy in the checkout instead, do not forget to remove the generated `svn:mergeinfo` as described above.
-====
+[[vendor-import]]
+=== Vendor Imports
-. *Merging to __-HEAD__*
-+
-After you have prepared your import, it is time to merge.
-Option `--accept=postpone` tells SVN not to handle merge conflicts yet, because they will be taken care of manually:
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% cd head/contrib/foo
-% svn update
-% svn merge --accept=postpone ^/vendor/foo/dist
-....
-+
-Resolve any conflicts, and make sure that any files that were added or removed in the vendor tree have been properly added or removed in the main tree. It is always a good idea to check differences against the vendor branch:
-+
-[source,bash]
-....
-% svn diff --no-diff-deleted --old=^/vendor/foo/dist --new=.
-....
-+
-`--no-diff-deleted` tells SVN not to check files that are in the vendor tree but not in the main tree.
-+
-[NOTE]
-====
-With SVN, there is no concept of on or off the vendor branch.
-If a file that previously had local modifications no longer does, just remove any left-over cruft, such as FreeBSD version tags,
-so it no longer shows up in diffs against the vendor tree.
-====
-+
-If any changes are required for the world to build with the new sources, make them now - and test until you are satisfied that everything build and runs correctly.
-. *Commit*
-+
-Now, you are ready to commit.
-Make sure you get everything in one go.
-Ideally, you would have done all steps in a clean tree, in which case you can just commit from the top of that tree.
-That is the best way to avoid surprises.
-If you do it properly, the tree will move atomically from a consistent state with the old code to a consistent state with the new code.
+The standard process for managing contributed software and vendor branches is described in detail by the extref:{committers-guide}#vendor-import-git[Committer's Guide].
