This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when upgrading
your ports. We try our best to minimize these disruptions, but sometimes
they are unavoidable.
You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time
you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

20091118:
AFFECTS: users of java/jboss5
AUTHOR: Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz>
The JBoss directory structure has been reorganised to more
closely follow hier(7) guidelines; in particular moving transient
and deployment files to /var/jboss5, and allowing /usr to be
read-only.
2009-11-17 23:08:23 +00:00
20091118
AFFECTS: users of www/redmine
AUTHOR: Bernhard Froehlich <decke@bluelife.at>
After the upgrade you need to generate a session secret before restarting
the application. This is to protect you from Cross site request forgery.
From your Redmine directory, simply run the following command once:
# rake config/initializers/session_store.rb
then upgrade as usual
# rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
20091114
AFFECTS: users of emulators/win4bsd
AUTHOR: Mario S F Ferreira <lioux@FreeBSD.org>
The new port now depends on emulators/kqemu-kmod instead of
installing its own version. Therefore, you should make sure
that no other kqemu.ko modules are installed.
# pkg_delete -f win4bsd\*
# rm -f /boot/kernel/kqemu.ko
# pkg_delete -f kqemu-kmod\*
# portinstall emulators/win4bsd
Do not forget to enable kqemu on rc.conf since win4bsd will not
work without it.
2009-10-18 10:25:19 +00:00
20091018
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql54-server
AUTHOR: Alex Dupre <ale@FreeBSD.org>
After the upgrade the server may fail to start due to changes in
the default values of innodb_log_files_in_group and
innodb_log_file_size, which differ from those in earlier 5.4 releases.
You should discard the old InnoDB log files and let MySQL 5.4.3 create
new ones. It is necessary to shut down your current server cleanly so
that no outstanding transaction information remains in the log.
See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.4/en/news-5-4-3.html
20091014
AFFECTS: users of mail/heirloom-mailx
AUTHOR: Alexander Logvinov <avl@FreeBSD.org>
Since SourceForge switched to the new File Release System,
mail/heirloom-mailx has wrong package name. All users who have
mail/heirloom-mailx installed after 22 August 2009 should run the
following commands:
# pkg_delete "\-mailx-12.4_1"
or
# rm -r /var/db/pkg/-mailx-12.4_1
# rm -r /var/db/ports/-mailx
# cd /usr/ports/mail/heirloom-mailx && make install clean
20090921
AFFECTS: users of archivers/lzmautils, archivers/lzmautils-devel
AUTHOR: Christian Weisgerber <naddy@FreeBSD.org>
The XZ Utils distribution has superseded LZMA Utils, so the xz
port has been added and the lzmautils ports have been removed.
To perform the move, run one of the following commands:
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o archivers/xz lzmautils\*
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o archivers/xz archivers/lzmautils
or
# portmaster -o archivers/xz archivers/lzmautils-devel
as applicable.
20090919:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-postfwd
AUTHOR: Sahil Tandon <sahil@tandon.net>
The recipient rate-limiting feature is now called via rcpt()
command instead of with mrcpt() as in previous versions. Make
sure to update your postfwd.conf if you use this feature.
20090917:
AFFECTS: users of www/epiphany, x11/yelp, graphics/librsvg2,
x11/toolkits/py-gnome-extras, and www/epiphany-extensions
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
The default Gecko provider has been changed from www/firefox to
www/libxul. Firefox 2.x is now forbidden for security reasons, and
libxul is the new, stable Gecko provider. Libxul uses the same Gecko
engine as Firefox 3.0.x.
Some ports may fail to upgrade or run when both www/firefox and libxul
are installed on the same system. To make sure everything runs smoothly,
uninstall www/firefox, then install libxul, then upgrade the affected
ports.
20090915:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/gosa
AUTHOR: Denis Shaposhnikov <dsh@wizard.volgograd.ru>
Read
https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/wiki/DocumentationInstallingUpdatingGOsa
before upgrading this port. And don't forget to check your slapd.conf
because gosa scheme files was changed. If you'll have any troubles during
LDAP migration step try to restart your PHP process.
20090913:
AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki
AUTHOR: Henrik Brix Andersen <brix@FreeBSD.org>
In order to fix a performance bug, all wikis need to be rebuilt on
upgrade to version 3.1415926.
20090912:
AFFECTS: users of ports that have set USE_FORTRAN=yes
AUTHOR: gerald@FreeBSD.org
Ports that are built using the Fortran frontend of GCC (aka gfortran)
will now use lang/gcc44 as the default compiler.
20090911:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.10
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.10 has been updated to 5.10.1. You should update everything
that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
"perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.10. Please see its
manual page for details.
If you want switch to lang/perl5.10 from lang/perl5.8 please follow
instructions in the entry 20090328 in this file.

20090910:
AFFECTS: users of www/rubygem-rails
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Rails has been updated to 2.3.4. As always, make sure you check the
changes at http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/.
20090909:
AFFECTS: gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-good
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
Due to the move of several plugins from gstreamer-plugins-bad to
gstreamer-plugins-good, it is necessary to update gstreamer-plugins-bad first:
portupgrade -R gstreamer-plugins-bad
or, using portmaster:
portmaster gstreamer-plugins-bad
After this step, the normal upgrade procedure can be used.
20090831:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux-systemsimcell
AUTHOR: stast@bsdportal.ru
The port emulators/linux-systemsimcell has been updated to 3.1.25.
Systemsimcell emulator now has a new dependency: x11-toolkits/linux-f10-blt.
So you need to switch to linux-f10 ports in order to use 3.1.25 version.
20090828:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot and mail/dovecot-sieve
AUTHOR: yds@CoolRat.org
dovecot-sieve has been updated to a new implementation compatible with
dovecot 1.2.x. For details of what this means please see:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot#Migration_from_CMUSieve
2009-08-27 08:55:14 +00:00
20090827:
AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
www/mediawiki version is 1.15.1 now. 1.14.1 version was preserved as
www/mediawiki114 port.
2009-08-18 05:49:01 +00:00
20090818:
AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org
gnutls has been updated to 2.8.3 and all shared libraries' versions have
been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on
gnutls. Do something like:
portupgrade -rf gnutls
20090816:
AFFECTS: users of astro/celestia and KDE
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
Celestia can now be compiled with KDE3 frontend (you can enable it with
CELESTIA_UI=kde when building). It is very feature-rich, as it offers
contextual menus, toolbars, KDE integration, internationalization,
bookmarks, etc. If you use Celestia and KDE as your desktop, you might
want to rebuild the port so it integrates into your environment better.
20090815:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
Dovecot has been updated to version 1.2.3. The configuration file has
changed significantly. Please see http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.2
for details of what this means.
2009-08-05 19:17:53 +00:00
20090804:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon*, x11/kdebase4*, deskutils/kdepim4
2009-08-05 19:17:53 +00:00
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
2009-08-10 22:41:23 +00:00
KDE4 has been updated to version 4.3.0. KDE now uses qt4-phonon;
multimedia/phonon and multimedia/phonon-gstreamer are deprecated in
favor of their qt4 equivalents. You can still use multimedia/phonon-xine
however. A number of files have been moved between packages. The
recommended update procedure is to delete phonon, phonon-gstreamer,
kdebase-*4*, kdepim-4*, then update ports as usual and install
2009-08-10 22:41:23 +00:00
desirable KDE4 ports:
# pkg_delete -f phonon-4\* phonon-gstreamer\* kdebase-\*4\* kdepim-4\*
# portmaster -a (or portupgrade -a)
# cd ${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde4 && make config && make install clean
2009-08-05 19:17:53 +00:00
20090804:
2009-08-10 22:41:23 +00:00
AFFECTS: users of devel/dbus-qt4, devel/qt4-designer
2009-08-05 19:17:53 +00:00
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
2009-08-10 22:41:23 +00:00
Qt4 ports have been updated to 4.5.2. The recommended update procedure
is to delete qt4-dbus and qt4-designer, then update ports as usual.
Install qt4-designer if needed.
2009-08-05 19:17:53 +00:00
20090802:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 ports have been moved to libtool22
2009-08-03 12:42:32 +00:00
and libltdl22, respectively, then updated to 2.2.6a. You will need to run
portmaster or portupgrade to properly perform the upgrade:
Portmaster:
-----------
portmaster -o devel/libtool22 devel/libtool15
portmaster -o devel/libltdl22 devel/libltdl15
Portupgrade:
------------
portupgrade -o devel/libtool22 libtool-1.5\*
portupgrade -o devel/libltdl22 libltdl-1.5\*
2009-08-10 22:41:23 +00:00
After that, you will need to rebuild all ports that depend on libltdl.
Since all dependent ports' PORTREVISIONs have been bumped, you can run
portupgrade or portmaster with '-a' to complete the upgrade.
20090801:
AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau
AUTHOR: rnoland@FreeBSD.org
An updated libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau have been committed. These
update the API version to 0.0.14 and if you are using DRM you will need
to update your kernel patch. See pkg-message in xf86-video-nouveau for
details.
2009-07-30 15:03:40 +00:00
20090730:
AFFECTS: users of www/tomcat6
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
Tomcat has been updated to 6.0.20 release and the installation directory
is changed from apache-tomcat6.0 to apache-tomcat-6.0. Backup your
configuration files before updating Tomcat, since the previous port will
delete them on deinstall.
2009-07-30 15:03:40 +00:00
20090729:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/heartbeat
AUTHOR: ports@encarnate.com

AFFECTS: users of www/rubygem-rails
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Rails has been updated to 2.3.3. As always, make sure you check the
changes at http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/.
2009-07-20 08:14:21 +00:00
20090720:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.17, which requires a shared library
version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports depending on it.
Run something like:
2009-07-20 08:14:21 +00:00
# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client
or
2009-07-20 16:24:38 +00:00
# portmaster -r net/openldap24-client
2009-07-20 08:14:21 +00:00

AFFECTS: users of graphics/jpeg
2009-07-19 08:03:13 +00:00
AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
The IJG jpeg library has been updated to version 7.0. Please rebuild all
ports that depend on it.
If you use portmaster:
2009-07-19 08:03:13 +00:00
portmaster -r jpeg-
Or, if you would prefer a more gradual approach:
portmaster -w jpeg- (Check the man page for more information)

20090628:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox3-devel
AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
If your Firefox crashes with the following message while viewing a
HTML5 page: "Bad system call (core dumped)" you need to load the sem
module (kldload sem).
To load sem module on every boot, put the following into your
/boot/loader.conf:
sem_load="YES"
20090624:
AFFECTS: users of mail/crm114
AUTHOR: glebius@cell.glebius.int.ru
The new version of crm uses a new format for css files. Old files should
be rebuilt or started from scratch. If not done, crm114 will lose any
mail processed via it.
20090620:
AFFECTS: gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
Due to the move of several plugins from gstreamer-plugins-bad to
gstreamer-plugins-good and gstreamer-plugins-ugly, it is necessary to
update update gstreamer-plugins-bad first:
portupgrade -R gstreamer-plugins-bad
or, using portmaster:
portmaster gstreamer-plugins-bad
20090619:
AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/transmission-daemon
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The UID/GID of transmission has been changed from 919 to 921. The data
configure has been changed from ${PREFIX}/etc/transmission/home/.config
to ${PREFIX}/etc/transmission/home. To update the UID/GID:
# pw groupmod transmission -g 921
# pw usermod transmission -u 921 -g 921
20090618:
AFFECTS: users of www/p5-Catalyst
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Most applications and plugins should run unaltered on Catalyst 5.80.
However, a lot of refactoring work has taken place, and several changes
have been made which could cause incompatibilities. If your application
or plugin is using deprecated code, or relying on side effects, then you
could have issues upgrading to this release.
http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.80005/lib/Catalyst/Upgrading.pod
20090617:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
The GID of virtualbox has changed due to a conflict with databases/couchdb.
Update GID of vboxusers after updating the port:
# pw groupmod vboxusers -g 920
20090617:
AFFECTS: users of math/fftw3 math/fftw3-long math/fftw3-float
AUTHOR: db@FreeBSD.org
The Fortran option has removed from fftw3 and moved into slave ports,
math/fftw3-fortran math/fftw3-long-fortran and math/fftw3-float-fortran.
20090615:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment and x11-wm/enlightenment-devel
AUTHOR: gahr@FreeBSD.org
The development version of the Enlightenment window manager, a.k.a. E17,
was moved from x11-wm/enlightenment-devel to x11-wm/enlightenment. The
DR16 branch now resides in x11-wm/e16.
20090615:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mlt++
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
The multimedia/mlt++ port was incorporated into multimedia/mlt since
version 0.4.2. Delete multimedia/mlt++ first and then install/update
multimedia/mlt.
20090613:
AFFECTS: users of www/hudson
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
Hudson is now running as a standalone process and no longer relies on
Apache Tomcat. As such, it should now be configured by defining
hudson_* variables in rc.conf. See comments from rc.d script for further
details.
The default setup is using the same port numbers and HTTP URL prefix as
before in order to reduce the effort of upgrading the port. Hence, it
may conflict with some running Apache Tomcat instance. To fix this
problem, you may either deinstall www/tomcat6, or use the following
settings in hudson_args from /etc/rc.conf:
--httpPort=??? --ajp13Port=???
20090611:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache22
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Two rc.d scripts have been renamed:
apache22.sh -> apache22
htcacheclean.sh -> htcacheclean
You'll need to update any crons wrappers, etc. for the new paths.
20090608:
AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-*
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default version of Python has been changed from 2.5.x to 2.6.x.
If you have 2.5.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python25 to
lang/python26 with one of the following commands:
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o lang/python26 lang/python25
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o lang/python26 lang/python25
If you want to retain 2.5.x as default Python version, set the
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' (without quotes) in
/etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following
command:
# portupgrade -R python
Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using the
method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new
Python version.
If using portupgrade:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
If using portmaster:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER
The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of
cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).
This is not the fault of portmaster.
20090606:
AFFECTS: users of java/eclipse
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
The update to 3.4.2 changes the location of the metadata for eclipse to
be more in line with what is used on other platforms. This means that
after the update plugins that have been installed by a user with the
built in Update Manager will need to be reinstalled.
20090605:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org
Version 2.6.1 introduced a POLA violation by expecting aliases.db to be
in /etc/mail/aliases.db (not /etc/aliases.db). With this version the
location is reverted to the right place.
If you updated your installation to 2.6.1 you need to run newaliases(1)
again after you installed 2.6.2.
20090603:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/font-mplus-ipa (and old japanese/ipa-ttfonts)
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
IPAUIGothic has been updated to a version included in IPA font
version 002.03 and added as a separated port
"japanese/font-ipa-uigothic". And the font-mplus-ipa has been
updated to remove the old IPAUIGothic.
Thus the old ipa-ttfonts is almost equivalent to font-ipa +
font-ipa-uigothic + font-mplus-ipa. Note that these three packages
have different licenses from each other.
20090601:
AFFECTS: users of devel/cvs-devel
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
cvs-devel no longer installs /bin/cvs and /bin/cvsbug. These are now
installed into ${PREFIX}/bin. If you wish to use these please be aware
of this change with respect to your path.
20090531:
AFFECTS: users of devel/viewvc
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
viewvc.conf and templates are not compatible to 1.0.x version, even the
database scripts have changed. For details see:
http://viewvc.tigris.org/source/browse/*checkout*/viewvc/trunk/docs/upgrading-howto.html
20090530:
AFFECTS: users of Japanese and Chinese fonts
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
Ports for Japanese fonts have been reorganized in the following way:
japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-mplus-ipa
japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-ipa
japanese/kochi-ttfonts -> japanese/font-kochi
japanese/mplusfonts -> japanese/font-mplus
japanese/sazanami-ttf -> japanese/font-sazanami
japanese/shinonome -> japanese/font-shinonome
japanese/umefont -> japanese/font-ume
japanese/vlgothic -> japanese/font-vlgothic
While basically these are port name changes for consistency,
installation directories are also changed:
font files -> ${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME}/*
symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/{TTF,OTF,fontname,...}/*
symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/{TTF,OTF,misc,fontname,...}/*
A user-visible one is that the directory name "TrueType" is replaced
with "TTF".
Also, japanese/font-std and chinese/font-std have been added as
standard fonts used in the Ports Collection. Currently they
contain:
std.ja_JP/Mincho
std.ja_JP/Gothic
std.ja_JP/Ryumin-Light
std.ja_JP/GothicBBB-Medium
std.zh_CN/STHeiti-Regular
std.zh_CN/STSong-Light
std.zh_CN/MSung-Light
std.zh_CN/MHei-Medium
under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/. They are just symlinks to
corresponding font files. The symlink names are based on popular
PostScript font names.
Applications should refer the font files via XLFD or fontconfig
first. If they need a direct reference to the font file, please use
files in std.*/*. This is because direct reference to a specific
font name in an application configuration file makes the maintenance
difficult when the font file name is changed, for example.
20090516:
AFFECTS: users of devel/viewvc
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
OPTION APACHE2 has been changed to APACHE (WITH_APACHE)
WITH_APACHE2 is deprecated and is being removed.
APACHE_PORT will be pulled in when WITH_APACHE is selected
2009-05-16 09:34:33 +00:00
20090516:
AFFECTS: users of print/cups-base and portupgrade
AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
The print/cups port has been split into multiple ports. If upgrading
from 1.3.10_1 and below, you must remove the installed version first.
2009-05-16 09:34:33 +00:00
20090412:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula-server
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/bacula-server now uses a new catalog format. If upgrading
from the old version please use the update_bacula_tables script
provided with the port before restarting bacula.
20090410:
AFFECTS: users of www/trac-email2trac
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
bin/email2trac.py and bin/delete_spam.py are now installed without the
.py extension to make the suid run_email2trac work and match the online
documentation. If you were using them in scripts or alias entries, you
will need to update paths accordingly.
20090401:
AFFECTS: users of linux Fedora 8 infrastructure ports
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
ATTENTION! Those ports are not default for any version of FreeBSD for now
and may be used with FreeBSD versions 7.2 and above (8-CURRENT is better)
using compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 and linux_base-f8. Please, note that
2.6.16 is not fully supported on 7.x (ex., some syscalls are missing
and cannot be MFCed due to a native FreeBSD ABI breakage).
For more information about transition please read item "20070327: AFFECTS:
users of emulators/linux_base-fc6". That note may be used for upgrading
to linux_base-f8 and linux Fedora 8 infrastructure ports as well.
If you want to switch to linux-f8 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8
20090328:
2009-03-28 20:45:10 +00:00
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.10 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.8, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall perl with new 5.10:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*
2009-03-28 20:45:10 +00:00

AUTHOR: yzlin@cs.nctu.edu.tw
The suPHP port has been upgraded to 0.7.x. This new version of suPHP has
some new features and changes for the configuration file:
- Multiple path (with patterns) & variable substitution support for
docroots
- Double-quoted strings at section '[handlers]'
ex. application/x-httpd-php="php:/usr/local/bin/php-cgi"
These changes may lead to internal server error if without modifications
of the configuration file from previous version.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/lire
AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org
Lire now requires DBD::SQLite, which uses SQLite 3.0.
This means that the Lire database format has changed. If you have
one or more old lire stores, you will need to convert each of
them from SQLite2 format to SQLite3 format, like this:
2009-03-16 00:21:24 +00:00
$ sqlite oldstore.db .dump | sqlite3 newstore.db
2009-03-16 00:21:24 +00:00
This assumes that you have both sqlite2 and sqlite3 installed on
your system, and that the names of the command line interface for
the old and new version are sqlite and sqlite3 respectively (this
is at least correct for Fedora).
20090310:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mythtv
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
The upgrade from version 0.20 to version 0.21 should be transparent.
Any changes to the database structure should be applied automatically.
However, it is strongly recommended that you back up your database before
installing a new version of MythTV.
For example:
$ mysqldump -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg -c > mythtv_backup.sql
To restore (assuming that you've dropped the database):
$ mysql -u root
mysql>create database mythconverg;
mysql>exit
$ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg < mythtv_backup.sql

AFFECTS: users of devel/libusb on CURRENT
AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org
FreeBSD libusb20 was renamed to libusb in r189585 and thus, being fully
compatible with libusb20, replaces devel/libusb on HEAD. devel/libusb
should not be used on these systems. Users of libusb-dependent ports
are advised to remove libusb package from their systems, and rebuild all
libusb dependencies. One of the possible ways to achieve this is
listed below:
# set tempfile=`mktemp /tmp/usbports.XX`
# pkg_info -qR /var/db/pkg/libusb-* > ${tempfile}
# pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/libusb-*
# cat ${tempfile} | xargs portupgrade -f

AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
When upgrading from Xfce 4.4 to 4.6 make sure you uninstall the following
ports:
x11/libxfce4mcs
sysutils/xfce4-mcs-manager
sysutils/xfce4-mcs-plugins
x11-themes/xfce4-icon-theme
You may uninstall them before you start the upgrade procedure (preferred)
or even afterwards when the upgrade went fine.
Please also note that Xfce 4.6 does not come with an icon theme any more.
Xfce 4.6 now depends on the Tango theme which is now installed by default.
The default installation of Xfce is also adjusted to use this icon theme
instead of the Xfce 4.4 standard Rodent theme. If you are upgrading from
Xfce 4.4 to 4.6 you probably still have the Rodent theme selected. This
will lead to several "missing" icons when starting up Xfce.
Make sure to switch as well to the Tango theme. To do this just open the
Settings Manager and select Appearance. Inside the Appearance dialog
switch to the Icons tab and select the "Tango" entry in the list on the
left side of the Icons tab.
For enabling the Reboot/Shutdown functionality of Xfce's logout dialog
please read the note which gets printed out after the installation of
x11-wm/xfce4 about how to configure PolicyKit.

The default version of Tcl/Tk has been changed from 8.4 to 8.5.
To restore old behavior and prefer using Tcl 8.4 with supported ports set
WITH_TCL_VER=84 in /etc/make.conf. This has no effect on ports that have
USE_TCL=yes or USE_TK=yes. They stick to the new default version and have
to be updated by their maintainers to support other versions than default.
20090218:
AFFECTS: users of www/zend-framework
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
A local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability was fixed in Zend Framework
1.7.5. The LFI was present in the Zend_View::render() method, and
allowed inclusion of scripts with relative path names, e.g.
"../../../my/script/dir/myscript.php".
If the script path name is hard-coded into the application and is not
generated by user input, the vulnerability does not apply. Because of
this exception, the Zend Framework team has added a flag to disable
the LFI protection in the render() method.
Full details of the vulnerability, whether it applies to your
application and how to disable the LFI protection in the render()
method can be found here:

AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server
AUTHOR: rnoland@FreeBSD.org
If you are using an older xorg.conf several config lines are no longer
needed and will generate warnings when X is started. RgbPath will cause
X to fail to start, remove it from your config.
Server 1.5.3 also really wants to configure its input devices via hald.
This is causing some issues with moused and /dev/sysmouse. There are
couple of options for how to deal with it:
1. Add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" to your ServerLayout section.
This will cause X to use the configured kbd, mouse, and vmmouse
sections from your xorg.conf
2. Don't use moused. If you want it to work with addon USB mice
set this in rc.conf:
moused_enable="NO"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
I'm working on fixing hald or the mouse driver or both.

AFFECTS: users of www/codeigniter
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
For certain installations, the following steps should be performed
after the CodeIgniter 1.7.0 upgrade (taken from:
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_170.html).
>>> Update your Session Table
If you are using the Session class in your application, AND if you
are storing session data to a database, you must add a new column
named user_data to your session table. Here is an example of what
this column might look like for MySQL:
user_data text NOT NULL
To add this column you will run a query similar to this:
ALTER TABLE `ci_sessions` ADD `user_data` text NOT NULL
You'll find more information regarding the new Session functionality
in the Session class page:
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html
>>> Update your Validation Syntax
This is an optional, but recommended step, for people currently
using the Validation class. CI 1.7 introduces a new Form Validation
class (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/form_validation.html)
which deprecates the old Validation library. We have left the old one
in place so that existing applications that use it will not break, but
you are encouraged to migrate to the new version as soon as possible.
Please read the user guide carefully as the new library works a little
differently, and has several new features.

AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The sj3serv daemon in japanese/sj3-server port now uses "localhost"

AFFECTS: users of security/logcheck
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
logcheck now stores its configuration files in /usr/local/etc/logcheck
instead of /usr/local/etc. If you are upgrading the port from version
1.1.1 to version 1.2.54, copy the following files to a temporary location,
in case they are removed during the upgrade:
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.hacking
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.ignore
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.violations
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.violations.ignore
e.g.:
cd /usr/local/etc
mkdir /tmp/logcheck.saveconf
cp logcheck.hacking logcheck.ignore logcheck.violations* \
/tmp/logcheck.saveconf
After the upgrade, integrate your local changes to the files listed
above into the new configuration files found in the following directories:
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/cracking.d
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/violations.d

Please consult the following files for more information about
logcheck rules and reporting levels:
/usr/local/share/doc/logcheck/README.logcheck
/usr/local/share/doc/logcheck/README.logcheck-database
Also note that the upgraded port installs a crontab file for user
"logcheck" that executes the logcheck script every hour and emails
the results to root. If the installation process cannot install
the crontab file, it can be installed manually from
/usr/local/share/examples/logcheck/crontab.in, e.g.:
crontab -u logcheck /usr/local/share/examples/logcheck/crontab.in

AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius2
AUTHOR: David Wood <david@wood2.org.uk>
Upgrading the FreeRADIUS port used to replace all unmodified files
in your configuration with the latest version from the sample
configuration. This strategy has two disadvantages; over time your
configuration became based on different versions of the sample
configuration, also major changes to the sample configuration could
leave your configuration in a confusing state.
From version 2.0.5, your configuration is not touched if any
configuration files have been modified.
You are recommended to track changes in the sample configuration and
2008-08-08 14:57:37 +00:00
keep your configuration in a version control system. I use Subversion
(see the devel/subversion port) to track my changes. Keeping the sample
configuration in a 'vendor branch' (see the Subversion book for more
details) allows easy merging of changes from the sample configuration.
*** IMPORTANT ***
You are urged to move your configuration out of the default location
(/usr/local/etc/raddb) before upgrading from 2.0.4 (or earlier)
2008-08-05 20:39:52 +00:00
to 2.0.5 (or later). Once this upgrade is complete, remove the sample
configuration that has been installed in the default location and
move your configuration back to the default location.
This is a one time procedure that will prevent unmodified files in
your configuration from being deleted from your configuration and not
restored during the upgrade. No customised files will be lost in any
circumstances.
The sample configuration in 2.0.5 has been reorganised: the
configuration of most modules is now in the modules directory rather
than in radiusd.conf. You are urged to rearrange your configuration
to match this layout.
There are several improvements in this version of the port, including
a new pkg-message that will help new FreeRADIUS users to get started
with the port, also new 'reload' and 'debug' commands for the rc.d
script. Enjoy!

This update should be rather straightforward.
2008-07-14 19:20:35 +00:00
The only noticeable change in the port is that the ICAP patch is no

moving to Squid-3 (currently available as www/squid30) if you need
ICAP support.

AUTHOR: Jung-uk Kim <jkim@FreeBSD.org>
mach64 and r128 drivers are now separated out from the ati driver.
These video cards are supported by x11-drivers/xf86-video-mach64
and x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128 respectively. If you have one of
the affected video cards and xorg.conf contains the following line:
Driver "ati"
you must specify "mach64" or "r128". Alternatively, you may install
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati to get a wrapper driver.

20080612:
AFFECTS: users of www/linux-opera
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The Opera port has been updated from 9.2x to 9.5x. A lot of things have
been changed such as keyboard shortcuts[1]; new storage and indexing
formats for mail and feeds; new search.ini; probably more that I have
missed. I do not know if the keyboard shortcuts and search.ini will be
overwritten. You will be asked whether you want mail and feeds to be
converted to new format during start up. Warning: there is no way to
downgrade back to the old format. Be sure to see the Changelog[2].
[1] http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/884/
[2] http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/linux/950/
It is probably best for you to back up your linux-opera directory in
case until you have no problem with new Opera for a while. Also, you
might have to re-configure search and keyboard shortcuts if these were
overwritten:
# cp -Rp ~/.linux-opera ~/.linux-opera-bak
If you are seeing an error of undefined symbols related to GTK+, it is
because it needs newer linux-gtk2 that ports doesn't have. You can enter
'opera:config#FileSelector|DialogToolkit' in the address bar and change
from 0 to 1 in 'Dialog Toolkit' if it annoys you. 0 = auto detection,
1 = QT, and 2 = GTK+.

AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU)
2008-06-06 02:36:17 +00:00
AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.17, the shared library version
of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all ports that
depend on gettext:
2008-06-22 17:02:50 +00:00
# portupgrade -rf gettext
# portmaster -r gettext
2008-06-06 02:36:17 +00:00
Given the scope and sheer number of dependent ports, it may be more
advisable to simply blow away all existing install ports (after
keeping any local configuration changes), and rebuilding from scratch.
20080603:
AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs
AUTHOR: Yasuhiro KIMURA <yasu@utahime.org>
The port (editors/emacs) is updated to 22.2 and some of emacs lisp

AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-new
AUTHOR: scheidell@secnap.net
Amavisd-new 2.6.0 introduces several incompatibilities with prior versions.
If you are upgrading from 2.5.4 or earlier, you will need to update your
SQL schema. If you have third party programs that access SQL tables, you
will need to update those also.
COMPATIBILITY WITH 2.5.4:
- when using SQL for logging (e.g. for a pen pals feature) or for
quarantining, SQL tables tables maddr, msgs, msgrcpt and quarantine need
to be extended by a new field 'partition_tag'; see below for details;
- when SQL logging (pen pals) or SQL lookups are used, one can choose a
binary or a character data type for fields users.email, mailaddr.email,
and maddr.email; now may be a good opportunity to change a data type
to binary (string of bytes); see below for details;
- when using SQL for logging, a default for $sql_clause{'upd_msg'}
has changed, so if a configuration file replaces this SQL clause
by a non-default setting, it needs to be updated;

AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment-devel, x11/ecore and grephics/evas
AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org
Evas and ecore ports have been split to separate modules to simplify
dependency tracking. Thus, portupgrade in many cases won't be able to
correctly update these ports.
The easiest upgrade path would be to remove all EFL ports and install
them from scratch. At least, you should reinstall ecore and evas.
Please note that your old $HOME/.e is no longer compatible with new

AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius
AUTHOR: David Wood <david@wood2.org.uk>
FreeRADIUS 2.0 is now available as the net/freeradius2 port. All FreeRADIUS
users are advised to consider upgrading to 2.0. It is the FreeRADIUS team's
intention to put the 1.x server into 'maintenance' mode with just critical
2008-08-16 19:34:10 +00:00
bug fixes.[1] 2.0 has many improvements including numerous bug fixes that
were too difficult for the 1.x server, as well as many new features.
Before uninstalling 1.x, it is recommended that you backup your
2008-08-16 19:34:10 +00:00
configuration, which is typically in /usr/local/etc/raddb, then move it
out of the way. It is also worth backing up the default configuration,
which is typically in /usr/local/share/examples/freeradius/raddb.
2008-08-16 19:34:10 +00:00
1.x configurations should work with the 2.0 server [2]. However the port
automatically upgrades any unedited files in the configuration when you
install a new version of FreeRADIUS. Installing 2.0 with the residue of a
1.x configuration in the default location will result in a mixed 1.x and
2.0 configuration that may not work.
The recommended approach is to diff your 1.x configuration against the
2008-03-14 21:45:24 +00:00
default 1.x configuration, then make corresponding changes to a copy
2008-08-16 19:34:10 +00:00
of the default 2.0 configuration. If you moved your 1.x configuration out
of the way before upgrading, you will have a 2.0 configuration ready to
edit in the default location. It is worth reading man 5 unlang for details
of the new FreeRADIUS 'un-language' before starting.
2008-08-16 19:34:10 +00:00
Alternatively, you can move your 1.x configuration to another location,
such as /usr/local/etc/raddb_v1, then edit /etc/rc.conf to point the rc.d
script to that location. For example:
radiusd_flags="-d /usr/local/etc/raddb_v1"
2008-03-14 21:45:24 +00:00
I cannot guarantee that all 1.x configurations will work with the 2.0
2008-08-16 19:34:10 +00:00
server, and I only recommend using a 1.x configuration as an interim
measure.

2008-08-16 19:34:10 +00:00

is adapted.
20071215:
AFFECTS: users of www/suphp
AUTHOR: koitsu@FreeBSD.org
The suPHP port has been upgraded to 0.6.2. This update requires
modifications to your Apache httpd.conf, as the new version of suPHP does
things differently than the previous version -- particularly in regards
to how AddHandler is used.
Previously, enabling suPHP was as simple as:
suPHP_Engine on
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php
With suPHP 0.6.2, these should be changed to:
suPHP_Engine on
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
suPHP_AddHandler application/x-httpd-php
If you forget this change, your PHP content will likely be offered as
downloadable content and not parsed by the PHP interpreter!
Additionally, the new version uses a configuration file vs. compile-time
settings. The configuration file is /usr/local/etc/suphp.conf, and a
working example installed as /usr/local/etc/suphp.conf-example. It's
important that the MIME type under the [handlers] section matches what
the type passed to suPHP_AddHandler in your Apache configuration.

GNOME has been updated to 2.20.1. All ports that depend on gnomehier have
had their DATADIR moved from share/gnome/ to share/ (e.g.
${LOCALBASE}/share/gnome/ to ${LOCALBASE}/share/).
This puts the FreeBSD GNOME ports more in line with the default GNOME
installation hierarchy. To find the specific directories that have
changed, see misc/gnomehier/files/dirlist. To upgrade your installed
ports, you will need to use either ports-mgmt/portupgrade or
ports-mgmt/portmaster.
Portupgrade users:
# pkgdb -Ff
# portupgrade -f -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
# portupgrade -a
Portmaster users:
# portmaster -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
# portmaster -a
If some of icons, applets, themes or other customized items have
disappeared from your desktop in this upgrade, you will need to remove and
re-add these items to make them appear again due to the DATADIR change.

AFFECTS: users of mail/vpopmail
AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org
The vpopmail port has been upgraded to version 5.4.20. There are several
important changes that may affect your vpopmail installation and may need
you to handle manually:
- THE MYSQL CONNECTION INFORMATION IS NO LONGER DEFINED AT COMPILE-TIME!
The WITH_MYSQL_{USER,PASSWD,SERVER,DB} variables should NOT be defined
when you build the port; place that information in the vpopmail.mysql
file after vpopmail has been installed!
- the default domain is also no longer defined at compile time -- you need
to place it in the defaultdomain file after the installation.
- the defaultdomain and vpopmail.mysql files are no longer blindly removed
on deinstallation, they are only removed if they have not been modified
- in vpopmail 5.4.18, the database schema was changed -- some fields were
extended from 64 to 96 characters. If you do not apply those changes
to your database, as explained in the vpopmail/doc/UPGRADE file, your
vpopmail installation may silently fail or lose the trailing portions
of domain names and usernames.
- in vpopmail 5.4.19, the upstream authors integrated large parts of
Alex Dupre's SpamAssassin support, without the SPAM_THRESHOLD part.
If you use vpopmail along with the SpamAssassin FreeBSD port support,
take extra care to ensure that your installation still processes
e-mail messages in the same way.
- vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for maildrop as a mail delivery agent.
This is available in the FreeBSD port if WITH_MAILDROP is defined.
There is also a new user-limit flag for maildrop delivery.
- vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for MySQL connections via Unix sockets
instead of TCP sockets to the server. To do that, change the second
value (the port number) in vpopmail.mysql to the full pathname of
the MySQL socket (e.g. /tmp/mysql.sock).
- vpopmail 5.4.20 extended the LDAP support; please see README.ldap for
more information, and specify the LDAP connection information in
the vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.ldap file after the installation.

AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org
X.org ports were updated to 7.3. Since we're now using the modular
build, the upgrade is pretty much painless. If you're using the
x11/xorg meta-port, upgrade should be as easy as:
# portupgrade -R xorg
Users of nvidia-driver will have to make sure Composite extension is
turned off and start Xorg with the following command:
$ startx -- -ignoreABI
The -ignoreABI option is a Xorg option. If you're using gdm, kdm or
xdm, you will have to modify your configuration file so that Xorg
starts with this option.
An updated nvidia-driver should be released soon.

openldap24-server was updated to 2.4.5-beta. This is the first beta
release of the OpenLDAP 2.4.x series, and contains significant changes
compared to its previous release.
Berkeley DB 4.2 support was dropped and Berkeley DB 4.6 is now default.
As this is still a beta release, it should be treated accordingly and
should not be used in critical (e.g. production) environments.
20070904:
AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail-scanner
AUTHOR: lippe@freebsdbrasil.com.br
qmail-scanner was updated to 2.x, and 1.x version was repocopied to
mail/qmail-scanner1. There are some differences between these 2 versions:
quarantine-attachments.txt has been renamed to quarantine-events.txt, it is
used to quarantine more than just attachments, and the format of that file
has been changed.
Quarantine directory is now separated into THREE subdirs: "spam", "viruses"
and "policy". This is so sites can arrange different auto-delete jobs to
control the size of these areas if they so wish.
Some features that were hard-wired into the main body of Q-S have been moved
into quarantine-events.txt where they should have been all along. This makes
it possible to change settings without reconfiguring the main body of qmail-
scanner-queue.pl. You will need to rewrite any rules you had in place within
the old quarantine-attachments.txt into the new format quarantine-events.txt
Changed setuid to 6755 -- i.e. it's now setuid and setgid. Forcing all files
to be group qscand will allow those who wish to do so to keep their AV
daemons running as other accounts. They just need to ensure those daemons are
members of the qscand group -- and as such should be able to read the
necessary files. E.g. clamd could run as "clamav", but as long as account
"clamav" is a member of group "qscand", clamd is able to read the mail enough
to scan it.

Because sound support was added to finch 2.1.1, the sound files used by
pidgin have been moved from the pidgin port to the libpurple port. This
makes updating a bit tricky. To properly update to pidgin 2.1.1 and retain
sounds, you must first upgrade libpurple and pidgin as you normally would,
then force a rebuild of libpurple. For example, using portupgrade:
# portupgrade net-im/libpurple net-im/pidgin

AFFECTS: users of DESTDIR
AUTHOR: gabor@FreeBSD.org
2007-08-25 16:28:16 +00:00
DESTDIR is a feature, that allows installation of ports into separate
environments, like jails. The previous implementation, introduced in the
August 2006, had some problems and was very expensive to maintain. It was
completely rolled back, and replaced with a brand new implementation
utilizing chroot.
When DESTDIR is set, the system will chroot into the specified directory,
mount devfs, null mount the ports tree, then proceed with building and
installing. Your kernel must support nullfs (is available as loadable kernel
module on default installation). The target environment must be a full
FreeBSD installation. For advanced use, read comments at the beginning of

2007-08-25 16:28:16 +00:00
The default version of Python has been changed from 2.4.x to 2.5.x.
If you have 2.4.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python24 to
lang/python25 with a command like:
# portupgrade -o lang/python25 lang/python24
If you want to keep 2.4.x installed alongside 2.5.x, set the
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' without quotes in make.conf,
then go to lang/python and execute
# portupgrade -R python
Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.5, by using one of the
methods above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new Python
version.
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages

developing autotools-using code (as opposed to just building ports)
considerably easier.
Upgrade path is as follows for portupgrade:
1. portupgrade -f 'autoconf*' 'automake*'
2. cd /usr/ports/devel/autotools; make install
3. portupgrade -a
For portmaster:
1. portmaster autoconf automake
2. portmaster devel/autotools

AFFECTS: users of net/samba3, japanese/samba3
AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org
ATTENTION! Besides security fixes this version of Samba3
significantly changes a lot of options and behavior of Samba.
Please, read WHATSNEW.txt and other port documentation before
upgrading production systems.
Off-line Logons and AD Site Support
===================================
Winbind's capability to support offline logons has been greatly
improved with the 3.0.25 release including support for locating
domain controllers asynchronously using Active Directory Site
information.
New IdMap Interface for Winbindd
================================
The 3.0.25 release of Samba includes a rewritten IdMap interface
for winbindd which replaces the "idmap backend" parameter. Please
refer to the "idmap domains" description in the smb.conf(5) man
page for more details.
Dynamic DNS Updates
===================
The "net ads join" command is now able to register the host's DNS
A records with Windows 2000 SP4 and 2003 DNS servers. This feature
must be enabled at compile time using the --with-dnsupdate when
running the ./configure script. There is also a related "net ads
dns" command for refreshing a host's records which could be launched
from a dhcp client script when a new IP address is obtained.
Support for Additional ACL Modules
==================================
Samba's POSIX ACL support has been moved inside of the VFS layer
which means it is now possible to support multiple ACL
implementations on the same server including NFSv4 and GPFS ACLs.
VFS ReadAhead Plugin
====================
Windows Vista introduces pipe-lined read support for improved
performance when transferring files. The new vfs_readahead plugin
allows Linux file servers to utilize additional Kernel buffers for
caching files in order to avoid Disk I/O wait time when serving
Vista clients. If you experience poor read performance between
Linux servers and Vista clients, please test the vfs_readahead
module by adding the following lines to the share definition in
smb.conf:
[file_share]
vfs objects = readahead
Note that this plugin will result in additional RAM requirements
due to the increased amount of kernel buffer caches used by smbd.
Please refer to vfs_readahead(8) for more information.
Windows Vista, Office 2007, and Offline Files
=============================================
Research surrounding offline files, Windows Vista, and Microsoft
Office 2007 has revealed a incompatibility between these
applications and the "map acl inherit = no" setting in smb.conf.
Users requiring support client side caching (csc) and offline
files are encouraged to enable the "map acl inherit" for any
affected share definitions in the server's configuration.
Future versions of Samba will enable this setting by default.
Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on
"map acl inherit".
20070519:
AFFECTS: users of Xorg
AUTHOR: kris@FreeBSD.org
Welcome, fearless user! You are about to embark upon a mystical
journey to the world of xorg 7.2.
This upgrade procedure is for users of portupgrade. Users of other
upgrade tools should contact the author for the corresponding upgrade
method for that tool.
It is recommended that you run the xorg 7.2 upgrade inside a script(1)
session. This way, if something goes wrong, you will have hopefully
saved enough information for the developers to debug the problem.
Make sure you choose a filesystem with lots of space for the script
output.
# script xorg-upgrade
You may wish to set BATCH=yes in the environment to avoid interactive
dialogue boxes.
You may want to consider using portupgrade-devel, which fixes some
annoying bugs that cause upgrades to incorrectly be marked as failed
when they actually completed successfully. To switch to
portupgrade-devel:
# portupgrade -f -o ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade
# rm -f /usr/ports/INDEX*.db /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
# pkgdb -fu
If you have changed your ports environment in /etc/make.conf,
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf or similar you need to rebuild INDEX:
# cd /usr/ports && make index
If you have not changed your ports environment you can save some
time and just fetch the latest INDEX:
# cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex
It is necessary to set the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable while
updating from xorg 6.9 to 7.2. Once the upgrade is complete this
is no longer be required.
For users of csh-like shells:
# setenv XORG_UPGRADE yes
For users of sh-like shells:
# export XORG_UPGRADE=yes
Unfortunately portupgrade (nor portupgrade-devel) cannot yet handle
the rigors of the xorg upgrade without a small bit of help:
# portupgrade -Rf libXft
If your machine does NOT have any gstreamer ports installed, you can then
run:
# portupgrade -a
However, if you DO have gstreamer ports installed, you must run:
# portupgrade -a -x 'gstreamer*'
Followed by:
# portupgrade -Rr 'gstreamer*'
When packages are available (wait for the announcement on ports@), you
may prefer to use precompiled packages to speed up the process:
# portupgrade -aP
Once the upgrade completes successfully, you can delete the
xorg-manpages package, which is now orphaned.
# pkg_delete xorg-manpages\*
The final step is to merge remaining files from /usr/X11R6 into
/usr/local (/usr/X11R6 is no longer used with xorg 7.2) and replace
/usr/X11R6 with a symlink.
A script is provided for your convenience (or you may choose to do
this by hand): it will first attempt to back up your /usr/X11R6 into
/usr/tmp/mergebase in case something goes wrong, then look for
conflicts (files in /usr/X11R6 that would overwrite files in
/usr/local). Depending on your system configuration you may have to
resolve some of these conflicts by hand first (if in doubt, ask for
help on freebsd-x11@FreeBSD.org). You may also need to edit the
script if the default locations are not correct on your system.
If your /usr/X11R6 is a file system, you will also need to modify the
script to pause after /usr/X11R6 is backed up, but before the symlink is
created.
# sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh
When the merge operation completes successfully, the /usr/X11R6
directory hierarchy will be removed and replaced by a symlink to
/usr/local. This symlink is necessary because some binary ports (and
some remaining source ports) have hard-coded references to /usr/X11R6.
Congratulations, you are done!
# exit
CAVEATS
Make sure you have the x11/xorg meta-port installed. If you do not have
this meta-port installed with X.Org 6.9, you will miss out on a lot of
the new X.Org 7.2 sub-ports.
If you plan on keeping your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf, make sure you
change ModulePath to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules prior to running X.
If you run into problems running the new X server, try moving aside
your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and allow X to run with default values. After
that you can see the default values in a log file (e.g. /var/log/Xorg.0.log)
and fix your xorg.conf according to the defaults.
IF YOU RUN INTO PROBLEMS:
# uname -a
# ls -l /var/db/pkg
# exit
and send an email to freebsd-x11@FreeBSD.org with a full description
of the problem. Do not include the above typescript in your email,
but bzip2 it and make it available to the developers (e.g. put it
online or send it by private email upon request).
20070428:
AFFECTS: users of print/ghostscript-gnu-{commfont,jpnfont,korfont}
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
These ports now use PostScript virtual fonts to handle CJK CID/TT-CID
emulated fonts. CIDFnmap still works but note that if a font is both
in Resource/Font or Resource/CIDFont and in CIDFnmap, the entry in
Resource/* will be used. For the actual font mapping, see files in
Resource/CIDFont/*. This is just an internal structural change;
default font mapping has not been changed.
If you use CIDFnmap to change a font mapping already defined by
Resource/CIDFont/foo, you have to remove (or rename) the
Resource/CIDFont/foo file first.

# cd <into your Kwiki site directory>
# rm index.cgi
# rm -rf ./lib # Remove ./lib, if you have one
# kwiki -update

AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex{,-base,-tetex}
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/ptex has been removed and japanese/ptex-tetex has been
renamed with japanese/ptex. A pair of ptex and ptex-base and
ptex-tetex are basically the same with each other, so there should
be no functionality regression.

AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-fc6
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
ATTENTION! The port is experimental for now. Use it at your own risk. This
port may be used only with 7-CURRENT and compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16.
To use/test the port (along with linux FC4 infrastructure ports) you
should do:
0. Backup all your vital information!
1. Remove the current linux base port.
2. Add to your /etc/make.conf "OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc6".
3. Make sure no linux application is running.
2007-04-13 11:31:19 +00:00
4. Set appropriate sysctl (compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16).
2007-03-27 20:11:15 +00:00
5. Install emulation/linux_base-fc6.
5a. Those who use linux ports with automatic plist building should
apply the following patch:
ftp://mail.ipt.ru/pub/FreeBSD/patches/bsd.linux-rpm.mk-autoplist.diff
That should be enough at most circumstances. If you have difficulties,
please be sure to expand item 1 to:
2008-08-08 14:57:37 +00:00
1a. Remove all ports that depend on linux base port.
2007-03-27 20:11:15 +00:00
1b. Remove linux base port.
1c. Clean /compat/linux/ directory.
In case you want to get rid of the port, deinstall it, then return
2008-08-08 14:57:37 +00:00
back compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2 (as usual, make sure that no
2007-03-27 20:11:15 +00:00
linux application is running) and remove from /etc/make.conf the line
containing the OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT variable.

AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/fluxbox and x11-wm/fluxbox-devel
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The x11-wm/fluxbox-devel has been merged into x11-wm/fluxbox. You should
2008-08-08 14:57:37 +00:00
back up your ~/.fluxbox and remove it. If you still want to keep using
your good old ~/.fluxbox, you will have to do the following:
2008-08-08 14:57:37 +00:00
- Since prefix has been changed from X11BASE (/usr/X11R6) to
LOCALBASE (/usr/local), you might have to edit a few paths in
the ~/.fluxbox/* if there are any.
- The bsetroot has been renamed to fbsetroot. You might have to
tweak a few themes for bsetroot -> fbsetroot. Other way it can be
is to install the x11-wm/boxtools that has bsetroot if you do not
want to edit any themes.
2007-03-19 19:32:11 +00:00
While I am here, don't forget to use 'pkgdb -Ff'. As for the portmaster
users, I don't think you will need to do anything since portmaster will
2008-08-08 14:57:37 +00:00
take care of it by default.

AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU)
AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.16.1, the shared library version
of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all ports that
depend on gettext (read: most of them, sorry):
portupgrade -rf gettext
or:
portmaster -r gettext
In addition, if you have multimedia/vlc installed, you should deinstall
it *before* either of the above commands, and reinstall it manually
2008-08-08 14:57:37 +00:00
afterwards: vlc erroneously installs its own version of lib/charset.alias
which will overwrite the one supplied by devel/gettext otherwise.

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portupgrade*
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
2007-03-25 10:30:20 +00:00
Because of a bug in previous version, it's recommended you fill ALT_PKGDEP
section in pkgtools.conf file for portupgrade be aware of alternative
dependencies you use, and run pkgdb -L to restore dependencies that was
lost.
Example of ALT_PKGDEP section:
ALT_PKGDEP = {
'www/apache13' => 'www/apache13-modssl',
'print/ghostscript-afpl' => 'print/ghostscript-gnu',
}
Note also, portupgrade knows nothing how to handle ports with different
2007-03-09 10:22:14 +00:00
suffixes (E.g. -nox11). So you should define explicitly variables
(E.g. WITHOUT_X11=yes) for the ports in /etc/make.conf or pkgtools.conf
(MAKE_ARGS section) files.

AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
nVidia continues to drop support for old ("legacy") GPUs. To deal with
this fact, the port now allows to specify correct NVVERSION in order to
build driver that supports your graphics card. Currently, supported
"legacy" values are 7184 and 9631. Consult nVidia's README (Appendix A)
to find out whether you need to use legacy driver version, and exactly
which one. Alternatively, you can install one of the corresponding
`x11/nvidia-driver-XXXX' slave ports, where XXXX == needed NVVERSION.

For users of any previous version, all your charset settings

to keep your values and set them again with new "charset" plugin.
For ISO users: history of channels may be without accents
(after /upgrade), this is not recoverable, but this is not a bug.
All new messages should be ok.
Be careful, now default encode is UTF-8 for all channels (before
it was terminal charset). If you still want to send messages as
ISO-8859-1, you should send either global encode or server specific
encode to ISO-8859-1.
For global encode: /setp charset.global.encode = "ISO-8859-1"
For server encode: (on server buffer) /charset encode ISO-8859-1

AFFECTS: users of mail/spamprobe
AUTHOR: stefan@FreeBSD.org
With the update to version 1.4d, the SpamProbe port doesn't use the OPTIONS
framework any more to allow part of the changes below. That means that options
selected for this port won't be saved/used automatically any more and you have
to set the appropriate variables in /etc/make.conf or on the command line to
change the port's behaviour; the variables are documented at the top of the
port's Makefile. Before updating, it might be a good idea to remove
/var/db/ports/spamprobe.
2007-02-06 23:29:31 +00:00
The port now has support for the PBL database backend; unless built with
WITHOUT_PBL set, SpamProbe will use PBL as the default even if you have an
existing BerkleyDB or hash database; in that case, use the parameter "-d" to
specify the type of the existing database on the command line, e.g.:
spamprobe -d bdb:$HOME/.spamprobe receive
or:
spamprobe -d hash:$HOME/.spamprobe receive
Using PBL instead of BerkleyDB might be a good idea, though, as the former
seems to perform better. You can convert your existing database to PBL using
the following commands (assuming you didn't disable PBL support):
cd
mkdir spamprobe.new
spamprobe -d bdb:.spamprobe export | spamprobe -d spamprobe.new import
mv .spamprobe spamprobe.old
mv spamprobe.new .spamprobe

Both of security/gnupg (2.x) and security/gnupg1 (1.4.x) are
designed not to conflict with each other. So you can use
security/gnupg1 for gpg(1), and use security/gnupg for gpg2(1)
commands.
All directly dependents are $PORTREVISION bumped, so portupgrade -R
gnupg will works fine. After portupgrade, you will have both of

- Backup the OpenLDAP database (typically, /var/db/openldap-data)
with your favorite tool
- Do a "slapcat > backup.ldif" to dump all data

AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius
AUTHOR: David Wood <david@wood2.org.uk>
FreeBSD used to patch FreeRADIUS's rlm_mschap.c to strip all domain names
when calculating the hash of an MS-CHAP challenge (a requirement specified
in RFC 2759 paragraph 4 and amplified in paragraph 8.2). FreeRADIUS now
offers its own solution to discard a domain name before hashing in the
MS-CHAP code, which can be enabled via a configuration option. As there is
no longer any need for the FreeBSD patch, it has been removed, leaving the
MS-CHAP code behaving as supplied by the FreeRADIUS team.
If the previous behaviour of the MS-CHAP code is required, add:
with_ntdomain_hack = yes
to the mschap { } section of your FreeRADIUS configuration. There should be
a commented out line that can be modified around line 696 of
${PREFIX}/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf if your configuration is based on the
sample FreeRADIUS configuration.
This option is not set by default in the sample FreeRADIUS configuration.
Only those who have clients sending a domain name as part of the user name
when using MS-CHAP will be affected by this change; they will need to set
this option to allow FreeRADIUS to authenticate their clients successfully.
This may only affect those with older Windows clients, but I cannot be sure.
Some sources suggest setting this configuration option anyway to prevent
FreeRADIUS from breaching RFC 2759 inadvertently, leading to authentication
failure. It is left to the user whether to set this configuration option
anyway, or only to set it in the event of authentication failures stemming
from MS-CHAP.
Debug output from radiusd that reads "rlm_mschap: NT Domain delimeter found,
should we have enabled with_ntdomain_hack?" suggests that this configuration
option should be enabled.
New maintainer alerted to this issue by private mail from Thomas Vogt

The way some information such as descriptive labels is stored in the
R workspace was changed in RKWard 0.4.0.
While the data itself can still be loaded, labels will not be
available from workspaces created with an earlier version of RKWard.
To convert the old labels to the new format, run
rk.convert.pre040 ()
in the RKWard R console after loading the workspace in question.

AFFECTS: all GTK+2 and GNOME users
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
GNOME has been updated to 2.16. All GTK+2 and GNOME components have been
moved from X11BASE (/usr/X11R6) to LOCALBASE (/usr/local). To upgrade
your GNOME desktop or/and other applications you will need to use either
sysutils/portupgrade or sysutils/portmaster. To use portmaster, make
sure you have least 1.9 version to have the upgrade succeed.
Portupgrade users:
pkgdb -Ff
portupgrade -rf pkg-config\*
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r pkg-config
20061010:
AFFECTS: users of devel/avr-gcc*
AUTHOR: joerg@FreeBSD.org
The old avr-gcc port has been renamed into avr-gcc-3, and continues
support for GCC 3.x (for a while).
The former avr-gcc-devel port has been moved into avr-gcc, so GCC
4.x is now the default.
There is an entry in MOVED for the latter change but not for the
former one, as the automated tools (e.g. portupgrade) got confused
otherwise.
If you've previously been using avr-gcc-devel, these tools should
automatically take notice (based on the entry in MOVED), and change
the installed package to avr-gcc.
If you've previously been using avr-gcc, and want to move on to the
new default GCC 4.x, this should be fully automatic, as the port
name just stays, and the version increases.
If you've previously been using avr-gcc, and want to stay at GCC 3.x
for some reason, please manually perform a portupgrade to the new
name:
portupgrade -o devel/avr-gcc-3 avr-gcc

AFFECTS: users of net/samba3
AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
Revision of Samba 3.0.23c port had changed location of the directory,
where Samba stores it's smbpasswd files from $PREFIX/private to a more
common $PREFIX/etc/samba.
You need to move *.tdb files from an old to new location and remove old
directory if you use tdbsam backend for Samba user authentication.
Starting with the 3.0.23c release, the officially supported passdb
backends (smbpasswd, tdbsam, and ldapsam) now operate identically with
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
regards to the historical RID algorithm for unmapped users and groups
(i.e. accounts not in the passdb or group mapping table). The resulting
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
behavior is that all unmapped users are resolved to a SID in the
S-1-22-1 domain and all unmapped groups resolve to a SID in the S-1-22-2
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
domain. Previously, when using the smbpasswd passdb, such users and
groups would resolve to an algorithmic SID in the machine's own domain
(S-1-5-XX-XX-XX). However, the smbpasswd backend still utilizes the RID
algorithm when creating new user accounts or allocating a RID for a new
group mapping entry.
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
With the changes in the 3.0.23c release, it is now possible to resolve
a uid/gid, name, or SID in any direction and always obtain a symmetric
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
mapping. This is important so that values for smb.conf parameters such
as "valid users" resolve to the same SIDs as those included in the
local user's initial token.

AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org
Since Samba 3.0.8, it has been recommended that all domain accounts
listed in smb.conf on a member server be fully qualified with the
domain name. This is now a requirement. All unqualified names are
assumed to be local to the Unix host, either as part of the server's
local passdb or in the local system list of accounts (e.g. /etc/passwd
or /etc/group).
If the member server is not running winbindd at all, domain
accounts will be implicitly mapped to local accounts and their
tokens will be modified appropriately to reflect the local
SID and group membership.

as a function. As such, the MIT Kerberos team has yet to implement
plugins using static libraries. Users requiring static libraries or
statically linked binaries are advised not to upgrade to this release

The default mapping entries for groups such as "Domain Admins" are
no longer created when using an smbpasswd file or a tdbsam passdb
backend. Use 'net groupmap add' rather than 'net groupmap modify'
to set these entries.
A substring matching rule has been added to the sambaSID attribute
definition. For OpenLDAP servers, this will require the addition
of 'index sambaSID sub' to the slapd.conf configuration file. It

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
Because portupgrade had a problem with detecting Berkley DB version 2
or newer, and the default database format is now set to use these
versions, you can end up with a portupgrade that does not work with
older databases. A quick fix is to remove the databases, type:
'rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX*.db'.
2006-07-25 07:52:13 +00:00
portupgrade will recreate them automatically. It does absolutely no harm.
If you do not want remove the databases, you should detect what database
type do you use, and set the port options for portupgrade accordingly.
Follow these instructions:
- run 'pkgdb -fu' *before* upgrading and take a look on the output.
You can see database format there as: format:XXX, where XXX is your
current database format.
- Go to portupgrade port directory and configure the port with
`make config' command. If you have bdb_* format, then turn on the BDB4
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
option. If you have bdb1_* format, then turn off BDB4 and turn on
the BDB1 option. If you have dbd_hash format, then turn off all options.
- Upgrade portupgrade.
Note: if you change database format with changing port options,
you should remove the ruby-bdb* port that you don't need anymore.
Alternatively, you can hard code database format in your pkgtools.conf.

To upgrade you have to run
portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\*
portupgrade -f -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs
You need to make sure that you have not changed the sysctl

compat.linux.osname if changed.
In case "printenv | grep LD_" prints something, e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or LD_PRELOAD, you have to make sure it is not set when starting
linux programs, else FreeBSD libraries will be picked up and the
programs do not start.
2006-07-25 07:52:13 +00:00
After this start a linux program to test, e.g., acroread. If you get
errors when starting linux programs about problems with libraries, and
you made sure no LD_* variable is set as described above, you are one of
those unlucky people where we do not have a better solution as to tell
you to deinstall every linux port, remove /compat/linux completely to
make sure no cruft is left and reinstall everything you need.

AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com
The 2.4.3 port of inn has an unfortunate bug which causes inn's database files

AUTHOR: gkovesdan@t-hosting.hu
The Clamav project recommended that security/clamav and security/clamav-devel
should depend on archivers/unzoo instead of zoo, and on archivers/arj instead
of unarj. Because the clamav and clamav-devel ports are used quite often with
amavisd-new, this port was modified to depend on the same two archiver ports
as well. The amavisd-new port automatically recognizes arj, but not unzoo, so
${PREFIX}/etc/amavisd.conf should be modified. This line should be changed:
['zoo', \&do_zoo, 'zoo'],

AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The old PHP slave ports (phpN-cli, phpN-cgi and mod_phpN) were removed
in favor of unified PHP ports that allow building any combination of
PHP SAPIs (cli, cgi and apache module).
The PHP CGI binary was renamed to php-cgi, so you should update
the path in your script. To simplify the update process, *only* for
this release a 'php' compatibility symlink to php-cgi will be created
if you don't select the CLI SAPI.
Before the upgrade you *should* run 'make config' in lang/php4 or
lang/php5 to configure the SAPIs you want to install.
As a consequence the default binary packages include the CLI and the
FastCGI SAPIs.

The instiki port has changed storage methods to use an SQL database.
The README contains instructions on how to migrate existing wiki data to the

new storage methods. The following is a copy of the relevant information,
tailored for FreeBSD port users:
1. cd /usr/ports/www/instiki; make extract
2. Execute
ruby work/instiki-0.11.0/script/import_storage \
-t /usr/local/instiki/storage/2500 \
-i /usr/local/instiki \
-d sqlite \
-o [some location]/instiki_import.sql
3. This will produce instiki_import.sql file in the specified location.
Open it in a text editor and inspect carefully.
4. Upgrade your instiki port normally (e.g. portupgrade)
5. Connect to your production database, e.g.:
sqlite3 /usr/local/instiki/db/production.db.sqlite3
and have it execute instiki_import.sql, e.g.:
.read [some location]/instiki_import.sql
6. Execute
ruby /usr/local/instiki/script/reset_references production

AFFECTS: users of databases/db*
AUTHOR: swhetzel@gmail.com
Most of the ports that depend on Berkeley DB have been updated to use
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
Mk/bsd.database.mk. Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to include MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Berkeley DB, and SQLite in a port.
The Berkeley DB support in Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to return the proper
db* library name and location of the include and library directories of the
requested version.
To select a version of Berkeley DB, you can use either WITH_BDB_VER=<version>
or ${UNIQUENAME}_WITH_BDB_VER=<version> (version is one of 3, 40, 41, 42, 43,
or 44).
When a port has USE_BDB defined as either 'USE_BDB=41+' or 'USE_BDB=yes', the
port will use the oldest installed version of Berkeley DB. For example if
2006-07-25 07:52:13 +00:00
both db41 and db43 are installed, the port would end up compiling with db41.
If you add -DWITH_BDB_HIGHEST to your make command, the port will use highest
db* instead. If no Berkeley DB is installed then the port will default to the
version specified or the default Berkeley DB version (currently db41).
NOTE: If a port was using a different variable to select Berkeley DB or a
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
version, you will get an IGNORE message when you build the port. This
message will tell you what you need to do.
Port Maintainers please review the comments in Mk/bsd.database.mk on what
variables are available for you use in your own ports.

AUTHOR: fernan@iib.unsam.edu.ar
Since EMBOSS-3.0.0 both EMBOSS and EMBASSY install by default into
$LOCALBASE/emboss to avoid conflicts with other ports.
Users upgrading to 3.0.0 should take this into consideration when
planning the upgrade, because it will involve moving data not
installed by the port (databases) and tweaking the emboss.defaults
config file.
If you want to install the ports into $LOCALBASE (/usr/local, the old
behavior), you can still do so by setting PREFIX manually. But you
will have to take care of conflicting ports yourself.

generating kdm's configuration files. The actual kdm binaries have been
renamed to 'kdm-bin', 'kdm-bin_config' and 'kdm-bin_greet' respectively.
These changes should be mostly transparent to kdm users and require no
changes to existing configurations or setups, however: The actual kdm process

AFFECTS: all ports using libtool as part of the build process
AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
The way in which ports that require libtool to build has been
completely reworked to bring the ports system in line with other
environments, such as Linux, and pkgsrc.
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
devel/libtool13 no longer exists. devel/libtool15 has been modified
to (a) install in the canonical locations and (b) remove a number
of long-standing FreeBSD-specific patches that resulted in a very
different libtool than is present on other systems.
The main visible change will be that a large number of ports have
had their plists modified (we now install libtool .la archives)
and, as such, PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on ~2000 ports (roughly
1/7th of the tree).
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
Unfortunately, there is no simple upgrade path. Short of removing
all packages and reinstalling from scratch, the only other viable
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
alternative would be careful use of portupgrade. Given the large
number of different ways in which libtool is used by other ports
in the tree, this is a process that is likely to vary considerably
from system to system, and as such, folks should be very mindful
of running automatic updating software, such as portupgrade, making
extensive use of the -n flag (and equivalents for other updaters)
to see what will actually be rebuilt, before actually performing
the upgrade.
The good news is that the system now in place will make the handling
of libtool-using ports considerably easier going forward.

French version and it is installed by french/acroread, for example).
To configure the UI language, navigate to Edit->Preferences->International->
Application Language, set it to "Choose at application startup" and
restart the program.
The command filename is ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread as before (this is
a script installed by print/acroreadwrapper now), and if multiple
versions are installed, one of them will be selected according to
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
${ADOBE_LANG} environment variable. If ${ADOBE_LANG} is not set,
it will be automatically set by using ${LANG}; this means when

2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00

AFFECTS: users of mail/dcc-dccd
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
The midnight dccm and dccifd system log message has been changed to disclose
spam passed from whiteclnt-listed MX servers. MX servers should now be listed
in /var/dcc/whiteclnt with lines like:
mx ip 10.2.3.4
mx ip 10.5.6.0/28
mxdcc ip 10.7.8.9
"MX" marks the IP address of one of your mail systems that should be ignored
in initial Received: headers and when reported by sendmail to dccm. "MXDCC"
marks IP addresses of your mail systems that run DCC clients and that will
have already reported mail to the DCC. Continue using "OK" whitelist entries
for mail systems that you trust to never send or forward unsolicited bulk
email. Allow custom DNS blacklist SMTP rejection messages. See
-Bset:rej-msg=X in the dccifd and dccm man pages.

Due to configuration file changes, users of portsnap are encouraged
to copy the latest sample configuration file into place after updating
portsnap to version 1.0:
# cd /usr/local/etc && cp portsnap.conf.sample portsnap.conf
20060126:
AFFECTS: ports that use Display Postscript libraries and xorg-libraries
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
Support for Display Postscript has been deprecated in X.Org 6.9 release
and libraries and tools are no longer installed by default. If you have
installed a port that complains about missing libdpstk or libpsres, you
need to reinstall it so it will be build without DPS support.

If you use qmail installed on a PREFIX different of /var/qmail,
please, set a var on /etc/make.conf named QMAIL_PREFIX with this
value. It'll be used for many ports that depends of qmail.
To prevent stale dependencies, when you use one of qmail slave ports,
now you just need to set a var named QMAIL_SLAVEPORT on /etc/make.conf
assigning to it the name of slave port you are using.
The valid options for now are:
* ldap
* mysql
* spamcontrol
* tls

AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org
gnutls has been updated to 1.2.9 and all shared libraries' versions
have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/lxdvdrip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
lxdvdrip has been updated to version 1.51 depending on port
multimedia/vamps. However, multimedia/vamps needs to know beforehand
how many bytes will be processed in order to work. Unfortunately,
lxdvdrip cannot provide such information. Therefore, vamps and
playcell specific tailored versions shipped within the lxdvdrip
distribution will be used. They will be named so that lxdvdrip
does not conflict with multimedia/vamps. This is for lxdvdrip
version 1.51_1.
However, users that used lxdvdrip previously to this update, are
required to modify their configuration file in order to comply
to the new naming scheme.

All postgresql versions have been updated. These patch releases fix
a problem with character string comparisons for locales that
consider different character combinations as equal, such as
Hungarian. This might require "REINDEX" to fix existing indexes on
textual columns. Also, if plperl is used, a "REINDEX" might be
required under certain conditions. Check the HISTORY file in the
source for details.

x11-themes/kde-windeco-smoothblend, irc/kvirc, editors/vimpart
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
A number of files have been moved from kdebase to kdelibs between
KDE 3.4.3 and KDE 3.5.0 and some applications which used to be
distributed separately from KDE have been included in the release.
This means that you will have to take some precautions in order to
update your KDE installation without interruptions.
We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you
to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using
sudo).
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports.
pkg_deinstall -f kdebase-\[0-9\]\* superkaramba-\[0-9\]\* \
kde-windeco-smoothblend-\[0-9]\* kvirc-\[0-9\]\* \
kdeaddons-vimpart-\[0-9\]\*
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1.
portinstall -O kdebase
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
Superkaramba is now included in misc/kdeutils3.
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
The smoothblend window decoration is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3.
Vimpart is being discontinued and no longer part of KDE.
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
KNOWN ISSUES:
=============
Just like KDE 3.4, KDE 3.5 does not play nice with openssl-0.9.8. In
particular it breaks kwallet, some of the SSL handling in konqueror and
SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact.
If you're using the openssl ports rather than the base-system openssl,
make sure to use security/openssl-stable.
You can put WITH_OPENSSL_STABLE=yes into /etc/make.conf to automatically
make ports depend on that rather than on security/openssl.
FreeBSD 4.x users MUST install openssl-stable even if the base openssl is
present for SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact to work. Unfortunately, the
2006-01-08 19:32:36 +00:00
kdepim3 port cannot depend on it automatically due to shortcomings/bugs in
ports-collection's openssl infrastructure.

AFFECTS: users of deskutils/kronolith <= 2.0.6 with MCAL backend
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
Beginning with release 2.1, the support of MCAL will be removed

AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail >= 6.3.0
AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org
Beginning with release 6.3.0, fetchmail not only needs write
access to the idfile ($HOME/.fetchids), but also to the directory
holding this file. For end users running fetchmail with default
idfile on their own account, nothing changes: they have write
access to their home directory.
20060105:
AFFECTS: users of www/wwwoffle, security/ipsec-tools
AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org
The startup of the rc.d scripts for these two ports are now
by default disabled.
20051228:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/tovid
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
tovid shell scripts relies heavily on bash(1) but the previous
port version tried to use sh(1). However, since there were too
many complications, the port now depends on shells/bash.
Due to this change, the configuration files need to be regenerated.
Please, erase all previous configuration files. The configuration
file samples will be generated on the 1st invocation of the
scripts:
$ rm ~/.tovid/*
20051228:
AFFECTS: users of shells/scponly
AUTHOR: rushani@FreeBSD.org
From scponly 4.2, scp & WinSCP compatibilities are not enabled by default.
To enable those compatibilities, define WITH_SCPONLY_SCP and/or

AUTHOR: vanilla@FreeBSD.org
libapreq2 can be pure c library, I believe some people need pure c library,
but hate mod_perl, so I split it to 2 ports, and set libapreq2 as
p5-libapreq2's master ports.
If you need pure library of libapreq2, install www/libapreq2.
If you like mod_perl & enjoy p5-libapreq2, install/www/p5-libapreq2.

AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
A few old pear ports have been removed from the tree in favor of a
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00

you may safely remove pear-XML_RPC, pear-Console_Getopt, pear-Archive_Tar
and php[45]-pear and then run:

If you use the command below, everything should be fine.
$ portupgrade -fr 'ocaml*' 'mldonkey-*devel*'
20051210:
AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail using SSL encryption
AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org
Fetchmail now checks the validity of server certificates and complains
verbosely in maillog if the validation fails.
If your mail server's certificate is not signed by one of the root
authorities, you have to manually configure them using the following steps:
* Download the necessary certificates in PEM format and store them
at a suitable location, e.g. /home/user/.certs
* Run the c_rehash tool on the freshly installed certificates:
- If you are using OpenSSL from the base system (this is the default)
use the following command:
% perl /usr/src/crypto/openssl/tools/c_rehash /home/user/.certs
- If you are using OpenSSL from security/openssl please use command:
% c_rehash /home/user/.certs
* Use the following options to enable SSL encryption in your .fetchmailrc
configuration file:
options ssl sslcertpath /home/user/.certs sslcertck
sslfingerprint '< fingerprint >'
< other options >

security/racoon has been removed. You should migrate to its
replacement, security/ipsec-tools. No configuration changes will
be required.
The default configuration file location has changed for ipsec-tools.
You will need to move your racoon configuration files to the new
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
location /usr/local/etc/racoon. Alternatively, add this line in
rc.conf to continue using the old location:
racoon_flags="-f /usr/local/etc"

A change has been committed against www/lighttpd, which flips the
meaning of the IPV6 option to match other ports, along with the
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
1.4.7 upgrade. If you have previously saved configuration that
checks the IPV6 option (meaning to disable IPv6), then you will
have to rerun the configuration with ``make config''.
The default setting for IPV6 build is kept, which was enabled by
default.

1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE

pkg_deinstall -f kdeadmin-\[0-9\]\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports:
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1:
portinstall -O kdeadmin

AFFECTS: all RELENG_6 and HEAD users of ports/packages, maintainers
of ports that interact with the compat libraries.
AUTHOR: kensmith@FreeBSD.org
The shared library version number of all shared libraries built as
part of the baseline system has been incremented in both RELENG_6
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
and HEAD. The overall goal is to make handling of the compat library
infrastructure easier. Each new release branch will have different
version numbers for all of the shared libraries and the compat ports
can simply include all of the shared libraries from the previous
release.
If you update your system using normal cvsup/rebuild/reinstall
mechanisms the old versions of the libraries will still be on your
system so your old ports executables will continue to work.
But you definitely should plan on recompiling and reinstalling all
of your installed ports so they get relinked against the new libraries.
If you don't take this step as time goes on "normal" updates and
installs run the risk of having executables relying on both the new
and old versions of the libraries which would cause big problems.
It will take some time for the pre-built packages available on the
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
FTP mirror sites to be rebuilt against the new libraries. If you
want to update your ports using the pre-built packages watch the
mailing lists for when the rebuilt packages become available.

If you have compiled qt33 with the KDE_OPTIONS option checked (if your
installed qt-package is called qt-copy-3.3.4 instead of qt-3.3.4, check
with pkg_info), you should cvsup and recompile qt33 and everything
depending on it:
portupgrade -rf qt\*
Previous versions of the qt33 port contained a patch that
introduces binary incompatibility between unpatched qt33 and software
compiled against a patched qt33.
Symptoms of the binary incompatibility: Unresolved symbol warnings from
various KDE/Qt applications (both during runtime or compiling/linking),
"Could not start kdeinit" dialogs during KDE startup, kicker crashes during
exiting KDE.

Due to several complaints, new (unsupported) option had been added to port
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
Makefile: WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT. Starting with version 7667, NVidia has
dropped support for numerous "legacy" GPUs, while this option allows to go
with previous version of driver (this does not apply to older versions of
FreeBSD, since you have to use version 6113 of driver (if you did not yet
upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 or later) which has support for those GPUs).
If you must use WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option, be sure to ``hold'' the
package by making appropriate entry in your pkgtools.conf, otherwise
portupgrade(1) will upgrade your port to latest NVidia release on the
next run, which is probably not what you want.

Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits: - USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override STRIP and STRIP_CMD. - USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now. - In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries. - The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used instead of a hardcoded reference. - Change all ports to comply to the "new world order". - The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port. Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}). - If USE_LINUX or OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE doesn't point to an existing linux_base port and if USE_LINUX isn't set to "yes" (case insensitive), the port will be marked as IGNORE. [1] - Readd USE_LINUX knobs into several ports and make several uses of a conditional dependency ("USE_LINUX?=") into an unconditional one ("USE_LINUX=") which where removed/changed by Trevor to allow the use of alternative linux_base ports. While this is a nice goal, the implementation resulted in missing dependencies. The OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT knob in this commit is supposed to fix the problem while keeping the feature. Basicaly this includes a backout of Trevor's commit, to prevent confusion I mention it here explicitely. - Use the correct prefix (X11- instead of LOCAL- or LINUX-) for some ports. Chase dependencies for this. - Changes to make linux_devtools installable on amd64, remove some stray device nodes (they don't work on recent OS versions and aren't really needed). - Make linux_base-8 PREFIX clean and remove some stray device nodes. Additionally tell a little bit more about how to setup NIS/YP [2]. - Update the PGSQL dependency in the linux-opengroupware port to a recent version (the old one isn't available anymore), I don't know if this works (at least it isn't more broken than before). - Use PREFIX/usr/share/doc instead of PREFIX/usr/doc in the divx4linux ports, the former path exists already and gets populated by other packages too (PREFIX=LINUXPREFIX!). - Fix some obvious (non-linuxolator) bugs in some linux ports while being there. - Bump PORTREVISION where neccesary.

AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL ports have been updated to latest versions. A
security problem in the template database requires a simple SQL
command to be run on each database. Because these problems are
really incorrect system catalog entries, updating to a new release
will NOT by itself solve the problems in an existing
installation.

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
In KDE 3.4, a number of files were moved between ports, some ports
2005-07-15 08:40:35 +00:00
were added, one port has been removed and some applications formerly available
2005-04-03 07:01:49 +00:00
in their own ports were incorporated into KDE. This means that you will have
to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
portupgrade -a will not work.
Portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you
have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following
procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed
and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in
to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you
choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic
2005-07-15 08:40:35 +00:00
behavior and crashes from applications launched until you log out and back
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
in.
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports:
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
pkg_deinstall -f kdeartwork-\[0-9\]\* kdebase-\[0-9\]\* \
kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-\[0-9\]\* kdewebdev-\[0-9\]\* \
kde-\[0-9\]\* akregator\* phase\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports:
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1:
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
portinstall -O kdebase kdeartwork kdewebdev
Changes in detail:
- www/akregator is now included into deskutils/kdepim3.
- x11-themes/phase is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3.
- www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated into
x11/kdebase3.
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
- Juk has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
available as audio/juk.
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
- Akode has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
available as audio/akode and audio/akode-plugins-*. Akode is also
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
a default dependency of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 now.
- audio/mpeglib_artsplug has been demoted to legacy status and is no
longer the default decoder backend for kdemultimedia3. It's also not
depended on by kdemultimedia3 by default anymore.
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
Known post-updating issues:
- If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update:
rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
2005-04-03 07:01:49 +00:00
Then log out of KDE and back in again (also see
2005-03-20 18:17:55 +00:00
http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.php#q16).
- kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations
by running (as root or with sudo)
genkdmconf
Make sure to backup your old kdm configuration (usually found in
/usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an
invalid configuration. Especially note that kdm does not use the Xservers
file anymore. A genkdmconf run will merge its contents into kdmrc.

print/teTeX-* are now based on teTeX 3.0. Although some reliability fixes

1) $PREFIX/bin/pdftex is missing:
Probably your system has old files included teTeX 2.x which can
prevent the new version from working. Please remove the old files
first (see entry 20050206 in this file) and reinstall.
2) Some formats are still corrupted (for example, "Fatal format file error;
I'm stymied" is displayed) or not updated even after a clean install:
You might have old or corrupted *.fmt and/or *.map files under
/root/.texmf-* or $HOME/.texmf-* directories. Typically these
directories are generated when you invoke the updmap(1), texconfig(1),
or fmtutil(1) utility manually. However, for a period after the first
revision of the teTeX-base port erroneously used fmtutil(1) to
regenerate *.fmt files, you could have these directories without your
intent. In such a case, please remove these directories and reinstall
the ports (it is not needed to rebuild ports/packages). Just for your

your personal configuration.

* first, upgrade your perl installation (use either lang/perl5 or
lang/perl5.8, the latter being recommended);
* for FreeBSD 4.X, run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
have 5.8.6 or 5.6.2; this step is not needed on FreeBSD 5.X and
FreeBSD -CURRENT;

postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can
use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about
tracking ports and if used in production, update to
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No
dump/reload will be required when changing from -devel to
postgresql80-server.

AFFECTS: users of security/libgnomesu, esp. on FreeBSD 4.x.
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
If you installed libgnomesu the day it was added to the ports tree,
you have a malformed PAM control file in /etc/pam.d/. All libgnomesu
users should remove /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam, and 5.x users should
replace it with the version in the updated libgnomesu port (ensure
that you're using the most current revision of the libgnomesu port).
2005-01-17 21:11:45 +00:00
4.x users: listen up! The presence of the /etc/pam.d/ directory (and
anything in that directory) presents a Very Bad Thing. Unless you've
manually tweaked your PAM settings, you must run:
2005-01-17 21:11:45 +00:00
# rm /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam
# rmdir /etc/pam.d/
or all users will be locked out of your system!

AFFECTS: users of irc/iip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
iip has been updated to the new network servers. Therefore, both
old configuration files and node reference keys no longer apply.
Therefore, you need to update the configuration files for each
user running the iip isproxy daemon:
1) Backup configuration files:
2005-01-10 19:31:52 +00:00
cp ~/.iip/isproxy.ini ~/.iip/isproxy.ini.backup
cp ~/.iip/node.ref ~/.iip/node.ref.backup
2005-01-10 19:31:52 +00:00
2) Remove configuration files:
2005-01-10 19:31:52 +00:00
rm ~/.iip/isproxy.ini
rm ~/.iip/node.ref
2005-01-10 19:31:52 +00:00
3) Create new configuration. Fill information as requested. This
creates the updated isproxy.ini file:
2005-01-10 19:31:52 +00:00
isproxy -C
2005-01-10 19:31:52 +00:00
4) Start iip isproxy. This will initialize your updated node.ref
file. This file will be automatically updated when you connect
to the iip network:
2005-01-10 19:31:52 +00:00

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nautilus-cd-burner
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Nautilus-cd-burner now requires cdrtools built with UTF-8 encoding
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
support. The default sysutils/cdrtools port does not support this
encoding, and that will cause nautilus-cd-burner to enter an infinite
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
loop when trying to create CD images. To workaround this, the cdrtools
dependency was changed in nautilus-cd-burner to point to the
sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port instead.
Since sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-cjk conflict, you must
uninstall cdrtools so that the nautilus-cd-burner update can properly
pull in cdrtools-cjk.

AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Courier-imap and sqwebmail are now dependent on courier-authlib. If
you've changed the default authentication config for courier-imap or
sqwebmail, you will have to redo the changes for courier-authlib.
You may wish to deinstall courier-imap and/or sqwebmail before you
install courier-authlib. Since courier-authlib replaces parts of both
ports, some of courier-authlib's files are listed as sqwebmail and
courier-imap files and deinstalling old courier-imap and/or sqwebmail
port may cause the deinstallation of the freshly installed
courier-authlib files.

portsdb(1) is part of the portupgrade suite and is used to convert a ports
INDEX file to a binary INDEX.db database. By default, it uses the
libc-builtin berkeley db to do so, which has a buggy btree implementation.
If you see errors like "[BUG] Segmentation fault" while a portsdb update is
in progress, adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf) to either bdb1_hash or dbm_hash.
This problem was fixed in 5.3-RELEASE, but users of 4.10-RELEASE and

AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
Due to the recent removal of INDEX and INDEX-5 from FreeBSD's CVS,
portupgrade with default configuration will run 'make index' if started
after cvsup'ing the ports-collection. This may take an undesirably long
time.
There are several ways to work around this, for example:
- Run 'make fetchindex' after cvsup'ing ports,
or:
- Adjust the PORTS_INDEX variable in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf (see portupgrade(1) or the default pkgtools.conf) to
a different value than the default.
Also remember that 'make index' is only supported on _complete_
ports-trees. If you are currently refusing whole categories by means
of a cvsup refuse file, use 'make fetchindex' instead (or consider
keeping an extra machine/jail with a complete ports-tree around to
do INDEX builds on).

AFFECTS: users of audio/faad, multimedia/mpeg4ip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
mpeg4ip has been updated and broken down into 2 separate ports:
mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2. Furthermore, mpeg4ip now depends
on faad. Moreover, faad now depends on mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 rather
than on mpeg4ip which avoids a cyclic dependency (mpeg4ip depends
on faad which depends on mpeg4ip).
If any of the old ports are installed, mpeg4ip will not compile.
Therefore,
1) Remove old faad and mpeg4ip ports which conflict with new
mpeg4ip
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/mpeg4ip*
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/faad*
2) Install faad, mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 in the following
order
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/audio/faad && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip && make install clean

javavmwrapper has been rewritten. It now creates symbolic links for
all executables of the Java VMs that have been registered with it.
These symbolic links may impact which version of Java you are using,
depending on your PATH, which may need to be adjusted.
For example, if your path is:
${LOCALBASE}/bin:${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin
then previously "java" would resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java.
With the new javavmwrapper it will resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.
Depending upon the Java VMs that are registered and various environment
variables, it may or may not be ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java that is
run by javavmwrapper via the symbolic link ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.

AUTHOR: kensmith@FreeBSD.org
As part of the FreeBSD-5.3 release the following system libraries
had their version number incremented:
/lib/libm.so.2 -> libm.so.3
/lib/libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.5
/usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 -> libhistory.so.5
/usr/lib/libopie.so.2 -> libopie.so.3
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.2 -> libpcap.so.3
This should have no effect unless you are using FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or
higher, or if you are a -current user who upgraded after this date.
Assuming you did a from-source upgrade new versions of these libraries
will be created but the old versions will be left behind (for example
/lib/libm.so.2 will be the old one, /lib/libm.so.3 will be the new one).
Any ports or pre-built packages you have currently installed will
continue to use the old library, any ports you install after the upgrade
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
will begin to use the new library. You will need to have all your
ports recompiled before the old library goes away. To help with the
migration you could also use /etc/libmap.conf to map libm.so.2 to
libm.so.3.

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
In KDE 3.3, a number of files were moved between ports and some ports
were removed. This means that you will have to take some precautions
to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work.
portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you
have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following
procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed
and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in
to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you
choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic
2005-07-15 08:40:35 +00:00
behavior and crashes from applications launched during the update.
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
1.) First, make sure your ports index is up to date:
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
cd /usr/ports && make index
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
or, if you're using the sysutils/portindex port:
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
portindex
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
2.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports:
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
pkg_deinstall -f kdeaddons-kontact-plugins-\* \
kdeaddons-kaddressbook-plugins-\* kdepim-\* kdeutils-\* \
kdeaddons-\[0-9\]\* kde-\[0-9\]\*
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
kdegraphics now conflicts with the kolourpaint package and kdeedu now
conflicts with the kwordquiz package. If you have kwordquiz and/or
kolourpaint installed on your system and you want to use the
kdegraphics/kdeedu ports, you should first deinstall the conflicting
packages:
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
pkg_deinstall -f kolourpaint\* kwordquiz\*
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
3.) Now update the remaining KDE ports:
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
portupgrade arts\* kde\* quanta\*
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
Note that the quanta port has been renamed to kdewebdev. The commands
above will automatically replace quanta with kdewebdev, if you have
quanta installed.
2004-09-01 04:01:48 +00:00
4.) Reinstall any KDE ports you deleted in step 2. Note that the kdeaddons-
kontact-plugins (net/kontact-plugins), kdepim-kpilot (palm/kpilot) and
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
quanta (www/quanta) ports/packages do not exist anymore and cannot be
reinstalled.
Known post-updating issues:
- If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update:
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
Then log out of KDE and back in again.
- KMail has been heavily modified since KDE 3.2.x. Testing shows that KMail
2005-07-15 08:40:35 +00:00
can display erratic behavior and crashes after the update. If you see any
such behavior, it is recommended to simply close KMail and start it again
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
until it resumes normal operation.
The integration of GnuPG and KMail for signing, encrypting and verifying
PGP/MIME mail has also changed. A quick howto is available at
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php.
- kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations
by running
genkdmconf
2004-08-30 19:55:42 +00:00
Make sure to backup your old kdmrc (usually found in
/usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an
invalid configuration.

lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. You should update everything
2004-07-30 10:55:01 +00:00
depending on perl, that is:
2004-07-30 10:55:01 +00:00
* first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation.
* run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.5.
* now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl,
that is run something like:
portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 | tail +4; \
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //') | sort -u`
2004-07-30 10:55:01 +00:00

afterwards.
Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary,

. The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This
has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505.
. ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained
in it didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has
always been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar.
. All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception

After migrating from XFree86 to X.Org, you must rebuild
x11-toolkits/libwnck and x11/libxklavier for full GNOME functionality
to be restored.
If you receive an XKB initialization error when starting GNOME, edit
your XF86Config or xorg.conf, and remove the line:

AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org
The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or
2006-09-19 15:13:45 +00:00
xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are
switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade:
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-*
cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install
pkgdb -F
Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process.
Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages:
cd /var/db/pkg

2005-07-15 08:40:35 +00:00
The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been split into 'base' PHP,
PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features.
Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP
installation (no PEAR and no extensions).
PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while
2005-07-15 08:40:35 +00:00
the set of PHP extensions to install can be chosen via the meta-ports
lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular
extensions individually.
If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out
the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled
into the PHP binary.
For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use
the command "php -m".

The arts port, PORTVERSION 1.2.1 does not include artswrapper anymore.
Instead, artswrapper is now installed by a new port audio/artswrapper.
Installation of artswrapper is optional, however:
If you presently run KDE and you have "Run with the highest possible
priority (realtime priority)" checked in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/
Sound System and you choose to NOT install audio/artswrapper, you need to
- Uncheck "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)"
in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System BEFORE updating arts
OR:
- AFTER updating arts and kdebase, go to Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/
Sound System, click on the unchecked "Run with the highest possible priority
(realtime priority)", dismiss the message telling you that realtime is un-
available or artswrapper is missing and then click Apply.

AFFECTS: users of security/antivir-milter
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
When updating from a previous version of security/antivir-milter you
have to do the following after deinstalling the old port:
rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir
rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir.vdf
chown root:wheel <PREFIX>/AntiVir
chown root:smmsp <PREFIX>/AntiVir/hbedv.key
In your SENDMAIL_MC, please change
`S=unix:<PREFIX>/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m'
to
`S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m'
and rebuild sendmail.cf.
If /var/spool/avmilter exists, you have to:
chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter
If you are using a customized <PREFIX>/etc/avmilter.conf, the port won't
remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User and Group to
smmsp there.
Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then should
run antivirupdater to get a current VDF.

AFFECTS: i386 users of lang/ruby* and sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386.
If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default,
please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf.
Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to
ruby 1.8:
1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be
installed):
pkg_delete portupgrade-\*
(cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean)
2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8
instead:
portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16
3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks):
portupgrade -f lang/ruby18
4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia):
pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16
5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts
causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again.
Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade
and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and
reinstall portupgrade as a last resort.
