FreeBSD git weekly: 2026-04-06 to 2026-04-12

Introduction

This is a display of mostly-automatically-classified git commits from 2026-04-06 to 2026-04-12.

This report is still in progress.

Table of contents and commits per category:

Highlighted commits Expand section Collapse section

For extra visibility, these are copies of commits found in other sections. Most (if not all) come from the commit message containing "Relnotes:", or commits modifying UPDATING.

-- no commits in this category this week --

Userland programs Expand section Collapse section

Commits about commands found in man section 1 (other than networking).

-- no commits in this category this week --

Documentation Expand section Collapse section

Man pages, release notes, etc.

libm's fmax and fmin family of functions treat +0.0 as greater than
-0.0.  This is not required by the C standard, so the user may not see
this behaviour due to compiler optimization.

Filesystems Expand section Collapse section

This patch moves the definition of the nfsd_idargs
structure out of nfs.h and into a new file called
nfsid.h.

This is being done so that it can be included in
nfs_diskless.c in a future commit.

There should be no semantics change from this
commit.

MFC after:      1 week
Fixes:  https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=8b9775912cbc ("nfs_diskless: Add support for an NFSv4 root fs")

Kernel Expand section Collapse section

Kernel stuff (other than networking, filesystems, and drivers).

Build system Expand section Collapse section

In libucl 0.9.3, macros and includes are disabled by default when
creating a new UCL parser.  This breaks the package build, which
relies on includes.  Fix this by explicitly passing zero flags
to ucl.parser().

MFC after:      3 days
Fixes:          https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=abda442d92fd ("contrib/libucl:  Import libucl 0.9.3")

Technical notes

Dates:

• The dates are "approximate" because git has no record of exactly when each commit was added. The "author date" and "commit date" are text fields controlled by each committer, not the actual date the commit reaches cgit.freebsd.org/src. Git accurately records the order of commits, but not their dates.

Automatic grouping:

• "Commit & revert pair" groups were automatically grouped when a commit's (full) message contained

  This reverts commit \\b([0-9a-fA-F]{40})\\b

  and the hash was found in this week's commits.
• "Commit group #" groups were automatically grouped when 3 or more consecutive commits by the same author had the same category and summary prefix.

Automatic categories:

• Commits were (mostly) automatically classified based on regex pattern-matching on the commit's modified files, summary, or the whole commit message. The goal is to have the system automatically classify 95% of the commits, with 95% accuracy; then we'll manually check the results and fix the incorrectly-classified and unclassified commits.
