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.
20110409:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/asterisk-sounds
AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/asterisk-sounds has been updated to 1.8.
If you want to stay with ja-asterisk14-sounds, please run:
# portmaster -o japanese/asterisk14-sounds japanese/asterisk-sounds
or
# portupgrade -o japanese/asterisk14-sounds japanese/asterisk-sounds
See also 20101128 net/asterisk entry.
20110406:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml and related libraries/applications
AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org
Ocaml compiler and libraries suite has been updated to 3.12.
There appears to be an ABI incompatibility with .cmi files
generated by previos compiler versions. Though these should
only affect the linking process, if some application you're
using start to misbehave after the lang/ocaml updated you're
advised to rebuild this applications using the new ocaml version.
20110402:
AFFECTS: user of net-mgmt/xymon-client and net-mgmt/xymon-server
AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
Loginname, path, scripts and config files have been renamed in 4.3.0
Steps to update:
1. Stop and deinstall the old version.
2. Copy the remaining config files to the new location.
3. Read the instructions
4. merge your old config with the upgrade430.sh script
5. fix the hobbit_*_enable lines in /etc/rc.conf
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit-server stop
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit-client stop
# pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/xymon-*
# pkg_add xymon-client-4.3.0.tbz
# pkg_add xymon-server-4.3.0.tbz
# cp /usr/local/www/hobbit/server/etc/* /usr/local/www/xymon/server/etc/
# less /usr/local/www/xymon/server/www/help/upgrade-to-430.txt
# /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin/bbcmd /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin/upgrade430.sh
# sed -i '' -e 's|hobbit|xymon' /etc/rc.conf
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xymon-client start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xymon-server start
20110328:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-client
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.25. In this version, certain library
rountines were moved from liblutil to libldap. If you previously built
the library with "FETCH" support, this would cause libldap to depend on
FreeBSD's libfetch.so library.
As of 20110402, a local change have been introduced so OpenLDAP libraries
link against libfetch.so when FETCH is enabled. Normally, no further user
interaction would be required.
For new installations, the FETCH option have been turned off by default.
20110324:
AFFECTS: users of KDE SC 4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.6.1. As usual a number of files were
moved between packages, manual intervention into update procedure is
required:
# pkg_delete -f kdehier4\* kdebase-runtime-4\* kdebase-workspace-4\*
# pkg_delete -f kdeedu-4\* kdeutils-4\*
# portmaster -a
20110322:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox
AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
The www/firefox port has been updated to 4.0. If you want to stay with
Firefox 3.6 please run:
# portupgrade -o www/firefox36 www/firefox
# portupgrade -o www/firefox36-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)
or
# portmaster -o www/firefox36 www/firefox
# portmaster -o www/firefox36-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)
Do not select the OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS option on a system with less then
2 GB of RAM otherwise you will run out of memory during the build.
Please make sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 4.0 and
backup your ~/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox
4.0.
The startup script has been renamed from firefox3 to firefox.
20110319:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-client
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The shared library version of the client library was increased to reflect
ABI changes, and avoid compatibility problems with the client library
in MySQL 5.1, so client programs that use the 5.5 client library should
be recompiled against the 5.5.10 client library.
This can be achieved with:
# portmaster -r mysql-client-5.5
or
# portupgrade -fr mysql-client-5.5
20110318:
AFFECTS: users of www/node and www/node-devel
AUTHOR: araujo@FreeBSD.org
The port www/node was merged with www/node-devel since there is no longer a
development version. Also www/node has not followed the stable upstream
prior to this update.
To keep www/node updated in your applications, from now on you must use
www/node instead of www/node-devel. If you have been using the www/node-devel,
you must run one of the following commands to upgrade:
# portmaster -o www/node www/node-devel
or
# portupgrade -o www/node www/node-devel
20110317:
AFFECTS: users of www/uzbl
AUTHOR: Klaus Aehlig <aehlig@linta.de>
The port has been updated to version as of 2011/02/15. This introduces
the following incompatabilities.
- $UZBL_FIFO, $UZBL_TITLE are available to scripts as environment ariables,
but not as command-line arguments.
- environment variables are no longer expanded by the config parser
- download handling has changed
- cookie daemons are no longer supported
Users are advised to change their personal configuration files/scripts accordingly.
20110316:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/duplicity
AUTHOR: peter.schuller@infidyne.com
sysutils/duplicity has been upgraded to 0.6.11. The old version
(0.5.20) is retained as sysutils/duplicity05. Duplicity 0.6 should
be generally compatible, but pay special attention to the new meaning
of the --archive-dir command. In particular, the archive dir is now
mandatory and defaults to ~/.cache/duplicity. You may have to
--exclude accordingly. In addition, it is recommended you consult
the CHANGELOG, specifically the "New in v0.6.00 (2009/06/08)" section
which details the checkpoint/restore feature (enabled by default) and
its implications.
20110313:
AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced
AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org
The setiathome client has been updated to version 6.12. Before you
update, finish and report your current workunits to avoid losing them.
20110304:
AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-*
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default version of Python has been changed from 2.6.x to 2.7.x.
If you have 2.6.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python26 to
lang/python27 with one of the following commands:
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o lang/python27 lang/python26
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o lang/python27 lang/python26
If you want to retain 2.6.x as default Python version, set the
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.6' (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 2.7, 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.
20110301:
AFFECTS: users of databases/jasperserver
AUTHOR: jhelfman@experts-exchange.com
(taken from release notes of 4.0 from vendor)
If you are upgrading from an older JasperServer version such as 3.5 then
you must first upgrade to JasperServer 3.7 before upgrading to 4.0.
Upgrading directly from JasperServer 3.5 to 4.0 is not a "certified"
(i.e. fully QA tested) procedure.
The steps to carry out this operation are fully documented in the
JasperReports Server Installation Guide for the 3.7 release. You will
need to download the JasperServer 3.7 release package to get the relevant
files and documentation. To download the JasperServer 3.7 WAR file
distribution zip package, go to the JasperForge.org website and to the
JasperServer project.
http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperserver
20110228:
AFFECTS: users of devel/ccache
AUTHOR: Emanuel Haupt <ehaupt@FreeBSD.org>
ccache now allows the use of non-default compilers such as clang. This
requires adjustments of the ccache make glue.
Please (re)read the following document after updating ccache to
ccache-3.1.4_1:
/usr/local/share/doc/ccache/ccache-howto-freebsd.txt
20110227:
AFFECTS: users of net/unison and net/unison-devel
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Unison has been upgraded to version 2.40, which uses a different wire
protocol than 2.32 did. In order to support synchronization with
other computers where Unison is still at version 2.32, a new port
net/unison232 has been created. It provides unison232 and if that is
GTK2-enabled, also unison232-text. This unison232 port can be
installed in parallel with the existing net/unison port.
20110224:
AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
Xorg has been updated to 7.5.1. For all ATI users the driver
was updated to 6.14.0 but the old one is still available in
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati613. See radeon(5) for options
available.
20110224:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.24, which requires a shared library
version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports that depend on
it. Please do something like:
# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client
or
# portmaster -r net/openldap24-client
20110224:
AFFECTS: Nobody
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
FreeBSD 8.2 and 7.4 released.
20110209:
AFFECTS: users of www/testlink
AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org
Testlink 1.9.1 was released. Before updating, you should read carefully
the included README file because this release requires a manual update
of the database scheme.
20110125:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.12 has been updated to 5.12.3. You should update everything
that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
"perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.12.
Please see its manual page for details.
If you want to switch to lang/perl5.12 from lang/perl5.{8,10} please
follow instructions in the entry 20100715 in this file.
20110124:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org
Postfix 2.8 introduces minor incompatibilities with previous versions.
Alias expansion, dns lookups, TLS support, milters and other features
are affected. To avoid surprises, carefully review the RELEASE_NOTES.
If you upgrade from Postfix 2.6 or earlier, you must execute "postfix
stop" and "postfix start" before you can use the postscreen(8) daemon.
This is needed because the Postfix 2.6 "pass" master service type did
not work reliably on some systems. If you upgrade from Postfix 2.7, or
from Postfix 2.8 before July 25, 2010, you must "postfix reload" (or
"postfix stop" followed by "postfix start"). This is needed because
the queue manager to delivery agent protocol has changed.
Also note that the optional SPF and VDA patches have not been updated
for Postfix 2.8; as a result, they are currently disabled.
20110111:
AFFECTS: users of www/redmine
AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org
If you use 3rd party plugins that are incompatible with i18n >= 0.5.0
(eg. variables in yml files as {{variable}}) then you need to
install an older i18n version manually.
# gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n
Then upgrade the database as usual:
# rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
20110107:
AFFECTS: users of mail/exim
AUTHOR: rea@FreeBSD.org
[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] The default value for system_filter_user
is now the Exim run-time user, instead of root.
[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is no longer
optional and is forced on. This is mitigated by the new build
option TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST which defines a list of configuration
files which are trusted; one per line. If a config file is owned
by root and matches a pathname in the list, then it may be invoked
by the Exim build-time user without Exim relinquishing root
privileges.
[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] The Exim user is no longer automatically
trusted to supply -D<Macro[=Value]> overrides on the command-line.
Going forward, we recommend using TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST with shim
configs that include the main config. As a transition mechanism,
we are temporarily providing a work-around: the new build option
WHITELIST_D_MACROS provides a colon-separated list of macro names
which may be overriden by the Exim run-time user. The values of
these macros are constrained to the regex ^[A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*$
(which explicitly does allow for empty values).
Upgrading users are encouraged to fully study
ftp://exim.inode.at/exim/ChangeLogs/NewStuff-4.73
and
ftp://exim.inode.at/exim/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-4.73
20110103:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/libwpd and graphics/libwpg
AUTHOR: fluffy@FreeBSD.org
LibWPD and LibWPG is now using new API, partially incompatible with
previous versions.
For correct upgrade procedure please upgrade LibWPD and LibWPG first
as described, than follow usual upgrade procedure
# portmaster -o textproc/libwpd08 libwpd
# portmaster -o graphics/libwpg01 libwpg
substitute 'portupgrade' for 'portmaster' accordingly if that's your
your upgrade tool of choice.
20101230:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|client)
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
PostgreSQL version 8.4 is now the default. To upgrade from a version
lower than 8.4, follow the instructions on the PostgreSQL.org website.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/install-upgrading.html
20101230:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/pnp
AUTHOR: rea@FreeBSD.org
Starting from 0.6.10_1 config.php is no longer preserved across
upgrades; PNP way is to put all modifications into config_local.php.
Existing config.php will be saved as config.php.orig and you should
review your deviations from defaults and place them into
config_local.php.
20101227:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
MySQL 5.5 has been updated to 5.5.8 GA release. Since layout is
changed you should remove mysql55-{client/server/scripts} ports
before upgrading. The build system is changed too, so expect
failures.
20101227:
AFFECTS: users of security/opensc
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
opensc has been updated to 0.12.0 release. Only one backend can be
choosen at compile-time: PC/SC is now the default one.
opensc doesn't export anymore its internal library, PKCS#11 is the
recommended interface.
20101220:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/flowd
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
flowd use now a fix UID/GID (id 542) instead the next free UID.
Before updating the port use the command "pw userdel _flowd"
20101216:
AFFECTS: users of security/libksba
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
libksba has been updated to 1.1.0, and the shared library version has
increased from .17 to .18.
Directly- and indirectly-dependent ports have had their PORTREVISION
bumped to facilitate rebuilding. Please rebuild the dependent ports
with your preferred upgrading tool:
# portupgrade -rf security/libksba
-or-
# portmaster -w -r security/libksba
If there are still ports on your system that require ksba.so.17 (either
in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg, or non-existent), _please_ file a PR so
that a correct direct dependency can be added.
Once you are satisfied that no ports still depend on the old shared
library version (libksba.so.17), you can safely delete it from the
${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg directory if it is present there.
20101216:
AFFECTS: users of databases/akonadi
AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org
With SQLite 3 installed, Akonadi used to build its plugin and
install it in a wrong place, without it being listed in plist. To
remove the orphaned file, run the following commands PRIOR TO the
Akonadi upgrade:
# cd /usr/ports/databases/akonadi
# rm `make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL`/sqldrivers/libqsqlite3.so
# rmdir `make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL`/sqldrivers \
`make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL` \
`make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_LIBDIR_REL`
20101214:
AFFECTS: users of devel/icu
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
icu has been updated to version 4.6. Please rebuild all ports that depends
on it.
If you use portmaster:
# portmaster -r icu
If you use portupgrade:
# portupgrade -fr devel/icu
Note that devel/icu4 is now deprecated consider replacing it by devel/icu
# portmaster -o devel/icu devel/icu4
or
# env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o devel/icu -f icu-4\*
20101211:
AFFECTS: users of devel/bugzilla, japanese/bugzilla and russian/bugzilla-ru
AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org
Bugzilla and its language packs are installed to
WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/www/bugzilla).
BUGZILLADIR (that defaulted to PREFIX/www/data/bugzilla) is deprecated.
20101211:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-proxy
AUTHOR: Florian Smeets <flo@smeets.im>
The parameters --admin-username and --admin-password are mandatory now.
Add something like the following to rc.conf
mysql_proxy_args="--admin-username admin --admin-password somepassword"
20101210:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/avidemux2
AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to 2.5.4 which now installs plugins separately
and I had to make a slave port for them, multimedia/avidemux2-plugins.
So you'll now have to install that port too for the app to become useful.
20101208:
AFFECTS: autotools
AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org
Another stage in the autotools cleanup that reduces tree churn whilst
updating components, a number of ports have now moved to non-versioned
locations since there is now only the concept of legacy and current
versions.
# portmaster -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268
# portmaster -o devel/automake devel/automake111
# portmaster -o devel/libtool devel/libtool22
# portmaster -o devel/libltdl devel/libltdl22
substitute 'portupgrade' for 'portmaster' accordingly if that's your
your upgrade tool of choice.
20101205:
AFFECTS: users of www/py-flexget
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
Database schema changes. Please run:
$ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE thetvdb_favorites ADD series_id VARCHAR;"
$ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE imdb_movies ADD updated DateTime;"
$ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE imdb_movies ADD mpaa_rating VARCHAR;"
inside flexget configuration directory (~/.flexget) for each
sqlite database you might have.
Replace "db-config.sqlite" with the appropriate name for your
sqlite database file.
20101204:
AFFECTS: users of audio/libmpcdec
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
audio/libmpcdec has been removed in favor of audio/musepack; which
has a higher shared library version. You will have to rebuild all
ports that depend on audio/libmpcdec. Do this:
Portmaster users:
# portmaster -o audio/musepack audio/libmpcdec
# portmaster -r musepack-
Portupgrade user:
# env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o audio/musepack -f libmpcdec-\*
# pkgdb -Ff
# portupgrade -rf musepack-\*
20101204:
AFFECTS: autotools
AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org
The next stage in the ongoing cleanup of autotools-using ports is
a refactoring of bsd.autotools.mk so that version numbers are no longer
needed within the USE_AUTOTOOLS stanza. There is either
autoconf213/autoconf or automake14/automake (for the legacy versions,
and the currently available versions). This will considerably reduce
the amount of tree-wide patching in future on an update.
IMPORTANT: if you have either devel/autoconf-wrapper or
devel/automake-wrapper installed on your system (and you most likely do)
PLEASE update these ports to their new versions before updating anything
else -- Bad Things[tm] are likely to happen otherwise.
20101202:
AFFECTS: users of multmidia/gstreamer-plugins
AUTHOR: multimedia@FreeBSD.org
If during the upgrade of gstreamer-plugins the following error happens:
GstAudio-0.10.gir: Incompatible version 1.0 (supported: 1.2)
Use the following command to upgrade:
cd ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins && make deinstall clean install
20101202:
AFFECTS: users of www/wordpress
AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
WordPress is now installed to WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/wordpress)
instead of WORDPRESS (defaults to PREFIX/www/data/wordpress).
20101129:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/radmind
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
The radmind user and group is created automatically during installation.
The owner of $RADMIND_BASE_DIR changes from root to radmind.
20101128:
AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk, net/asterisk-addons
AUTHOR: Florian Smeets <flo@smeets.im>
If you want to upgrade to 1.8.0 first remove asterisk-addons by running
# pkg_delete -f asterisk-addons\*
after that you can run one of the following
# portmaster asterisk
or
# portupgrade asterisk
You need to update your config files as the step from 1.4.x to 1.8.x is
quite big. First you need to look at what changed between 1.4 and 1.6
http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8/UPGRADE-1.6.txt
After that you also need to take into account what chagne between
1.6 and 1.8
http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8/UPGRADE.txt
If you want to stay with asterisk 1.4.x please run
# portmaster -o net/asterisk14 net/asterisk
# portmaster -o net/asterisk14-addons net/asterisk-addons
or
# portupgrade -o net/asterisk14 net/asterisk
# portupgrade -o net/asterisk14-addons net/asterisk-addons
20101127:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix, mail/postfix2[56]
AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org
As of Postfix 2.7.2, 2.6.8, 2.5.11:
Postfix no longer automatically appends the system default CA
(certificate authority) certificates, when it reads the CA
certificates specified with {smtp, lmtp, smtpd}_tls_CAfile or
with {smtp, lmtp, smtpd}_tls_CApath. This prevents third-party
certificates from getting mail relay permission with the
permit_tls_all_clientcerts feature. Unfortunately, this change
may cause compatibility problems with configurations that rely
on certificate verification for other purposes. To get the old
behavior, specify "tls_append_default_CA = yes".
20101124:
AFFECTS: users of www/py-flexget
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
metainfo_series is no longer a builtin. This should only affect
you if you aren't using one of the series plugins (series,
all_series, thetvdb_favorites, or series_premiere.) If you need
to enable metainfo_series manually for a feed it can be done like
so:
metainfo_series: yes
20101120:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/gtk20 and x11-toolkits/gtkmm24
AUTHOR: FreeBSD GNOME Team <gnome@FreeBSD.org>
In the GNOME 2.32 release. gdk-pixbuf2 has been split off from gtk20,
and atkmm has been split off from gtkmm24. To upgrade please use the
following instructions:
Portmaster users:
# pkg_delete -f gtkmm-2.20\* gtk-2.20\*
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:

20101118:
AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs-devel
AUTHOR: Ashish SHUKLA <ashish@FreeBSD.org>
Due to a bug when upgrading from 24.0.50.101606, everything
installed by other ports in "${PREFIX}/share/emacs" gets removed.
Before upgrading:
* Please backup custom configurations in "${PREFIX}/share/emacs".
* After upgrading reinstall any ports that may have had files in the
"${PREFIX}/share/emacs" directory.
Apologies for this inconvenience.
20101117:
AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/transmission-cli and net-p2p/transmission-gtk
AUTHOR: Mezz <mezz@FreeBSD.org>
Transmission has been updated to 2.12. The following name of binaries and
manpages have been renamed:
transmissioncli -> transmission-cli
transmission -> transmission-gtk
20101117:
AFFECTS: users of devel/ccache
AUTHOR: Emanuel Haupt <ehaupt@FreeBSD.org>
Updated instructions on how to workaround a buildworld failure have been

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-server
AUTHOR: Alex Dupre <ale@FreeBSD.org>
If you are upgrading from a previous MySQL release, the server will exit
during startup after finding that the proxies_priv table is missing.
To create the table, start the server with the --skip-grant-tables
option to cause it to skip the normal grant table checks, then run
mysql_upgrade. Then stop the server and restart it normally.
You can do this by temporarly setting the following line in rc.conf:

py-bsddb3 update to 5.1.0. This release drops support for Berkeley
DB 4.1, and adds support for Berkeley DB version 5.1, brand new. If
you need Berkeley DB 4.1 support, keep using pybsddb 5.0.0. If you
want support for Berkeley DB 5.1, remember to install the BDB library
before installing these bindings.

AFFECTS: users of www/xshttpd-devel
AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org
The default XS-httpd configuration file locations have changed:
The main configuration file is now $PREFIX/etc/xshttpd/httpd.conf
and other configuration file are stored in that same directory.
Existing configurations should be moved over manually.
Log files now appear in /var/log/xshttpd/ by default.

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portmaster
AUTHOR: Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>
The changes to bsd.port.mk in 1.652 require all portmaster users to
upgrade to version 3.1 or later. The best method to do this will be
to use the port, rather than portmaster itself:
# pkg_delete -f portmaster\*
# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster && make clean && make install clean
20101026:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba35
AUTHOR: Timur Bakeyev <timur@FreeBSD.org>
This is the latest stable release of the Samba3 distribution. It has
been extended with the experimental support of the NFS4-like ACLs on
ZFS partitions, thanks to the sysutils/libsunacl library by Edward
Tomasz Napierala(trasz). This support haven't been tested thoroughly,
so try it on your own risk.
This port reverted back to the pre- net/samba34 layout of the
directories and now they are again $PREFIX/etc/samba, /var/run/samba,
/var/log/samba, /var/db/samba and /var/spool/samba respectively.
In case, you are upgrading from net/samba34, please rename
corresponding samba34/ subdirectories into samba/ ones. Upgrades from
older versions of Samba and fresh installations should be seamless.

AFFECTS: users of devel/llvm-devel who use clang
AUTHOR: Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org>
The clang portion of devel/llvm-devel has been split out and now
resides in lang/clang-devel. If you have devel/llvm-devel installed
in order to use clang, you will need to install the clang-devel port
when upgrading.

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/kismet
AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org
This update includes major changes in how Kismet works and is configured.
Clients, servers, drones, and configuration files must be updated to work
with the new version. Map support has not yet been added.
See the kismet README for details.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/zfsnap
AUTHOR: Aldis Berjoza <aldis@bsdroot.lv>
Since timestamp format changed you need to use -o option with -d
option in order to be able to delete old snapshots. Note however that
you don't need -o when creating new snapshots, unless you want to keep
using the old timestamp format.
See http://wiki.bsdroot.lv/zfsnap for more info.
20100927:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
Incompatibility with snapshot 20100912
======================================
- If your DNSBL queries have a "secret" in the domain name, you must
now censor this information from the postscreen(8) SMTP replies.
- The postscreen "continue" action is now called "ignore". The old
name is still supported but no longer documented.
- The postscreen_hangup_action parameter was removed. Postscreen
now always behaves as if "postscreen_hangup_action = drop".
- The postscreen_cache_retention_time default was increased from
1d to 7d, to avoid deleting results from expensive deep SMTP
protocol tests too quickly.
Incompatibility with snapshot 20100827
======================================
- The Postfix SMTP client no longer appends the local domain when
looking up a DNS name without ".".
Specify "smtp_dns_resolver_options = res_defnames" to get the old
behavior, which may produce unexpected results.
20100924:
AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org
nvidia-driver does not install vdpau library and headers anymore, they
are now provided by multimedia/libvdpau port. To avoid conflict, please
rebuild nvidia-driver port before upgrading your ports and before
installing multimedia/libvdpau.

AFFECTS: users of p5-Compress-Zlib, p5-IO-Compress-*
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The p5-Compress-Zlib, p5-IO-Compress-Base, p5-IO-Compress-Zlib and
p5-IO-Compress-Bzip2 ports have been replaced by p5-IO-Compress.
Users of Perl 5.10 and higher do not need to install this module
because it is already included in the standard perl distribution.
20100920:
AFFECTS: users of security/stunnel
AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org
In stunnel-4.34, the DH support is no longer configurable by the user,
but always enabled when OpenSSL supports it instead. This means that
it will now most probably be enabled on the supported versions of FreeBSD.
If this leads to problems with old SSL clients, I will look into making
it configurable at build time again.
20100917:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cdrtools-cjk
AUTHOR: marius@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port has been removed, as the required functionality is
now available in cdrtools 3.0.0 in the standard sysutils/cdrtools port.
20100915:
AFFECTS: autoconf, automake
AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org
autoconf has been updated from 2.62 to 2.67 -- all ports depending on
autoconf-2.62 have had their PORTREVISIONs update, so a standard
port updating method will suffice.
USE_GETTEXT has been extended to also accept 'build' and 'run' for
ports which need devel/gettext as a BUILD- or RUN-time dependency only.
No port should now be directly depending on devel/gettext in Makefiles.
20100915:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cdrtools-cjk
AUTHOR: marius@FreeBSD.org
Version 3.00 of sysutils/cdrtools breaks but at the same time also
obsoletes sysutils/cdrtools-cjk as mkisofs now employs iconv for
character conversion. Consequently sysutils/cdrtools-cjk is marked
BROKEN and the use of USE_CDRTOOLS=cjk as well as USE_CDRTOOLS together
with the WITH_CJK knob left in a broken state until bsd.port.mk is
updated by portmgr@ accordingly. Once USE_CDRTOOLS is updated to no
longer refer to sysutils/cdrtools-cjk the latter will be removed.
Previous users of sysutils/cdrtools-cjk should switch to using
sysutils/cdrtools instead, which might require not using the WITH_CJK
knob until said update of bsd.port.mk has happened.
20100915:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.12 has been updated to 5.12.2. You should update everything
that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
"perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.12.
Please see its manual page for details.
If you want to switch to lang/perl5.12 from lang/perl5.{8,10} please
follow instructions in the entry 20100715 in this file.
20100912:
AFFECTS: ftp/curl
AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org
With version 7.21.1, the cURL port is built with stricter compiler
checking by default (the -Werror flag is passed to the C compiler,
making it treat any warnings as fatal errors). If you experience
problems building cURL, re-run "make config" in the ftp/curl
directory and disable the WERROR knob.
20100912:
AFFECTS: www/tdiary-devel, japanese/tdiary-devel
AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org
The stable tDiary ports, www/tdiary and japanese/tdiary, have been
updated to 3.0.0. The development versions of tDiary have been merged
from www/tdiary-devel to www/tdiary and from japanese/tdiary-devel to
japanese/tdiary, respectively.

The modules mod_geoip and mod_h264_streaming have been moved into slave
ports: www/lighttpd-mod_geoip and www/lighttpd-mod_h264_streaming
20100818:
AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The default lighttpd configuration file locations have changed.
The main configuration file is now: $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
and includes other configuration files from $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/
For compatibility with old-style configurations, if the lighttpd_conf
variable is not set in /etc/rc.conf, $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd.conf takes
precedence over $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
20100815:
AFFECTS: users of databases/redis and databases/redis-devel
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The redis configuration file, redis.conf, have been changed, some options
removed in newer versions (>=2.0). In some cases, redis-server with

AFFECTS: multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2
AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org
multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2, which is not maintained upstream, has been
replaced with new port, multimedia/mp4v2. The shared library version
has been changed with this update, thus all ports that depends on

AFFECTS: users of www/neon28 and www/neon29
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
Makes neon29 our default neon library in the ports tree. The www/neon28
has been removed and www/neon29's shared library version has been changed.
You will have to rebuild all ports that depend on www/neon29. Do this:
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o www/neon29 www/neon28
portmaster -r neon29-
Portupgrade user:
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o www/neon29 -f neon28-\*
pkgdb -Ff
portupgrade -rf neon29-\*
20100728:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/nltk
AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org
Nltk has been upgraded to 2.0b8 which depends on devel/py-yaml now.
You need to deinstall nltk before upgrading, since the previous port
will delete files installed from py-yaml during its deinstall phase.
Use, for example:
# pkg_delete nltk-2.0b7,1
# portsnap fetch update
# cd /usr/ports/textproc/nltk/
# make install clean
20100727:
AFFECTS: users of security/libgcrypt

portupgrade -rf libgcrypt
portmaster -r libgcrypt
20100722:
AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq
AUTHOR: Phillip <pneumann@gmail.com>
The database schema and the format in which persistent messages are
stored have both changed since the last release (1.7.2). When
starting, the RabbitMQ server will detect the existence of an old
database and will move it to a backup location, before creating a
fresh, empty database, and will log a warning.
20100715:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.12 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.10, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.12):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.12 -f perl-5.10.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.12 lang/perl5.10
Conservative:
portmaster p5-
Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.
20100626:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/ibus-mozc
AUTHOR: daichi@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/ibus-mozc port has been updated to version 0.11.383.102,
and separated into 5 ports to cope with upcoming new port
japanese/scim-mozc.
o japanese/mozc-server
o japanese/mozc-tool
o japanese/mozc-additions
o japanese/ibus-mozc
o devel/py-gyp-devel
You can not upgrade with portupgrade or portmaster. To upgrade, you
must deinstall japanese/ibus-mozc first and then install the new
japanese/ibus-mozc.
For example:
# pkg_delete ja-ibus-mozc-0.11.365.102_1
# portsnap fetch update
# cd /usr/ports/japanese/ibus-mozc/
# make install clean
20100617:
AFFECTS: users of security/{dirmngr|gnupg}
AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org
The security/libassuan port has been updated to version 2.0.0, and
the applications listed above have been updated to use it as of versions
1.1.0 and 2.0.15 respectively. If you HAVE NOT updated your libassuan
port as described in the 20100613 entry, you can simply update all 3
ports together (libassuan, dirmngr if installed, and gnupg) using your
normal upgrade path. If you HAVE updated to libassuan-1, then you need
to do the following before upgrading dirmngr and gnupg.
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -f -o security/libassuan security/libassuan-1
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -o security/libassuan libassuan-1
If you use neither:
pkg_delete -f libassuan*
Please note, libassuan version 2.0.0 is now a shared library, so unlike
the previous version it is now a runtime dependency and cannot be deleted
after you are done building dirmngr and/or gnupg.
20100613:
AFFECTS: users of deskutils/kdepim4, and security/{gpa|opensc}
AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org
The security/libassuan port has been updated to version 2.0.0, however,
the applications listed above are not yet compatible with it. Therefore
security/libassuan-1 has been created until they can be updated, and the
ports listed above have been updated to depend on it. You must first
replace your existing libassuan with version 1 in the new location, then
you can update the ports listed above normally.
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -f -o security/libassuan-1 security/libassuan
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -o security/libassuan-1 libassuan
If you use neither:
pkg_delete -f libassuan*
20100609:
AFFECTS: users of audio/libogg and audio/libao
AUTHOR: naddy@FreeBSD.org
There are new versions of libogg (1.2.0) and libao (1.0.0) and the
shared library versions have been bumped (ogg.6 to ogg.7, ao.3 to ao.4).
All ports that have an identifiable direct dependency on these libraries
have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped. However, some ports that pull in
the libraries indirectly may continue to look for the old versions. To
ensure that all are updated, perform this step:
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -rf libogg libao
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -r libogg libao
20100605:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-good and

If you are doing some Silverlight development, install multimedia/moonlight
after updating lang/mono.
20100530:
AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU)
AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
Another version of gettext (0.18), and another shared library version
bump (from intl.8 to intl.9), so:
All ports that have an identifiable known direct dependency on gettext
have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped. If after upgrading:
# portupgrade -rf gettext
# portmaster -w -r gettext
The upgrade of devel/gobject-introspection may fail because it is looking
for libintl.so.8. In this case, do the following:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection
# make clean
# make deinstall
# make install clean
Then continue your upgrade procedure normally.
If there are still ports on your system that are looking for libintl.so.8
(either in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg, or non-existent), _please_ file
a PR so that a correct direct dependency can be added.
Once you are satisfied that no ports still depend on the old versions (such
as libgettextpo.so.4 and libintl.so.8) you can safely delete them from the
${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg directory if they are present there.

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
WITH_QT_PHONON global knob has been introduced to allow selection between
multimedia/qt4-phonon* ports (a bit outdated Phonon, which is shipped with
Qt4) and multimedia/phonon* ports. Since KDE SC 4.4 requires fresh Phonon,
multimedia/phonon* ports are installed by default.
If you don't use KDE, you may set WITH_QT_PHONON=yes in /etc/make.conf
and continue to use Qt4 Phonon implementation ports.
If you want to use KDE SC 4.4 (or if you want the latest Phonon), do not
define WITH_QT_PHONON, delete multimedia/qt4-phonon* ports, and install
multimedia/phonon*:
If you use portmaster:

AFFECTS: users of mail/nullmailer on FreeBSD 6.X
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
The nullmailer port was recently updated with an rc.d script to correctly
daemonize nullmailer-send with daemon(8). On FreeBSD 6.X, daemon(8) does
not support "[-u user]" command-line switch, causing the nullmailer rc.d
script failure to start nullmailer-send.
Support for "[-u user]" command-line switch was recently MFC'd to 6-STABLE
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/146266). FreeBSD 6.X users
should patch and install daemon(8) by one of the methods described below.
If /usr/src is not yet populated, csup the 6-STABLE sources and run these
commands:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/daemon
make install
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nullmailer start
If /usr/src is already populated with sources from a previous 6.X release,
use these commands:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/daemon
fetch 'http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/pr-links/daemon/patch-daemon.c'
fetch 'http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/pr-links/daemon/patch-daemon.8'

directory was changed from $PREFIX/squid/ to /var/squid/.
The default values for the following Squid configuration parameters have
changed as shown below:
cache_log from $PREFIX/squid/logs/cache.log to /var/squid/logs/cache.log
cache_store_log from $PREFIX/squid/logs/store.log to /var/squid/logs/store.log
pid_filename from $PREFIX/squid/logs/squid.pid to /var/squid/logs/squid.pid
coredump_dir from $PREFIX/squid/cache to /var/squid/cache
Please check whether you need to define any of these variables in your
squid.conf to the old defaults explicitly before updating, especially if
you have set up automated log processing or automated log rotation. If you
define pid_filename in your squid.conf, you should also set squid_pidfile
to the same value in /etc/rc.conf, cf. $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/squid.

AFFECTS: users of math/libgmp4
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The default gmp version in FreeBSD is now 5.0.x. The port directory
changed from math/libgmp4 to math/gmp. An entry has been added to MOVED
and all depending ports revisions have been bumped, so the update should
be handled correctly by usual port management tools such as portupgrade.
Portmaster users, please do the following before upgrading ports that
depend on gmp:
portmaster -o math/gmp math/libgmp4
20100409:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php5
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org

2) Rebuild lang/php5 and all ports that depend on it.
20100403:
AFFECTS: users of net/dgd
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
The kernel library has been separated from the main net/dgd port into its
own net/dgd-kernel port so that all libraries are on an equal footing.
This also reflects the split of the kernel library out from the main DGD
distribution.
If you wish to continue to use the kernel library you'll need to install
net/dgd-kernel after updating to dgd-1.4.1_2.
20100330:
AFFECTS: users of gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-good
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org

20100216:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula-server, sysutils/bacula-client
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
Bacula 5.x uses new shared objects which conflict with the shared objects
from previous versions. You should delete all existing Bacula packages
from your system before compiling Bacula 5.x, otherwise you'll encounter
compilation errors.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-dir stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-sd stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-fd stop

20100207:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox
AUTHORS: beat@FreeBSD.org, mandree@FreeBSD.org (Java plugin)
The www/firefox port has been updated to 3.6. From now on www/firefox
will contain the most recent version of Firefox. Older but still
supported releases will be available in www/firefox3 and www/firefox35.
In order to update to Firefox 3.6 please delete your older installed
version of Firefox first and install www/firefox afterwards. Please
make sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 3.6 and backup
your ~/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox 3.6.
Note that in order to use Java with Firefox 3.6, you need to install
java/openjdk6, build it with the "WEB" option enabled and use the Iced
Tea plugin. To achieve the latter, each user needs to create a
symlink to the Icedtea plugin as described in the Browsers/Firefox and
Java[tm] Plugin section in the handbook:
ln -s /usr/local/openjdk6/jre/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so \
$HOME/.mozilla/plugins

AFFECTS: users of Mesa3D libraries and x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau
AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org
If you want to use Mesa3D 7.6.1 and libdrm 2.4.17 rather than 7.4.4
and 2.4.12, you must define WITHOUT_NOUVEAU global macro, at least,
enabled on graphics/libGL*, graphics/libglut, graphics/dri,
graphics/mesa-demos, and graphics/libdrm. And please give up using
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau.
At this time, I cannot enable latest Mesa3D and libdrm, because they
break xf86-video-nouveau. But old (current?) Mesa3D and libdrm do not
break any drivers.
AMD Radeon HD 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx users: If you use AMD Radeon HD [234]xxx
series, please define WITHOUT_NOUVEAU global macro. You can then use
OpenGL Hardware Accelerator feature on these series.
20100206:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba4-devel
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Default configuration file was moved to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/smb4.conf to
avoid conflicts with the installed net/samba3?. Also, userland utils
are not installed by default, which should also help with the parallel
setup of Samba3 and Samba4.
20100205:
AFFECTS: users of Qt 3 and KDE 3
AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org
When building qt33 and kdelibs3 (at least), while they are installed,
because of -L/usr/local/lib being passed too soon, the currently installed
libraries are used instead of the ones from the build. This makes the
build fail if you updated any of the libraries these Qt/KDE libraries are
linked against (e.g. libjpeg).
For the moment the workaround, when you get to this, is to move the old lib
out of the way, e.g.:
mv /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so.old && \
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/ && make && \
mv /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so.old /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so && \
portmaster -C x11-toolkits/qt33 (or portupgrade -w qt-33\*) ...

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
Default version of Perl was bumped to 5.10.
If you already have lang/perl5.8 installed, and want to switch to
lang/perl5.10 please follow instructions in the entry 20090328 in this
file.
20100205:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba34
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
This port was developed with the generous help of Florent Brodin.
The default passdb backend has been changed to `tdbsam'! That breaks
existing setups using the `smbpasswd' backend without explicit
declaration! Please use `passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like
to stick to the `smbpasswd' backend or convert your smbpasswd entries
using e.g. `pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam'.
The `tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user
settings like `profile path' or `home directory' and there are some
commands which do not work with the `smbpasswd' backend at all.
20100130:
AFFECTS: users of audio/sdl_mixer and graphics/sdl_image
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org
The SDL_mixer and SDL_image libraries have new shared library versions.
Please rebuild all ports that depend on them.
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -r sdl_mixer-
portmaster -r sdl_image-
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fr audio/sdl_mixer
portupgrade -fr graphics/sdl_image
20100125:
AFFECTS: users of audio/openal and graphics/openal-soft
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org
The default OpenAL implementation was switched to audio/openal-soft.
To update all ports correctly, the following steps have to be performed.
pkg_delete -f openal-\*
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -o audio/openal-soft audio/openal
portmaster -r audio/openal-soft
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -ro audio/openal audio/openal-soft
If you want to stick with audio/openal, please specify the following ports
make flag within /etc/make.conf (or an appropriate configuration file for
your ports):
WANT_OPENAL=si
20100122:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/policykit and sysutils/polkit
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Due to a recent change in sysutils/policykit, both sysutils/policykit,
and sysutils/polkit need to be rebuilt, but in a certain order. First,
upgrade sysutils/policykit to 0.9_6. Then, force rebuild and reinstall
of sysutils/polkit. If you do not do this, applications which depend
on polkitd will fail.
20100113:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
Port has been renamed to emulators/virtualbox-ose to reflect that we are
using the OSE version. A separate port for the kernel modules has been
created: emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod.
Please see http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox for update instructions.
20100107:
AFFECTS: users of security/openvpn*
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
security/openvpn has been moved to security/openvpn20 and upgraded to 2.0.9.
security/openvpn has been upgraded to 2.1.1, and security/openvpn-devel has
been removed.
Regular upgrades of the security/openvpn port should succeed without
manual intervention, but if you want to stick to openvpn 2.0 or if you
had been using openvpn-devel, manual intervention is needed, as
follows:
If you'd been using the security/openvpn-devel port, please use one of
these commands for upgrading:
portmaster -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn security/openvpn-devel
portupgrade -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn security/openvpn-devel
If you want to stick to openvpn 2.0, please use one of these two
upgrade commands:
portmaster -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn20 security/openvpn
portupgrade -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn20 security/openvpn
20100106:
AFFECTS: users of devel/websvn
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default install directory for websvn has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/websvn to ${PREFIX}/www/websvn.
If you are updating from a previous version, to preserve your settings
and data, please do the following:
mv /usr/local/www/data/websvn /usr/local/www
Then update as usual.
20091227:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/grok
AUTHOR: Wesley Shields <wxs@FreeBSD.org>
The sysutils/grok port has been completely re-written. Configuration files
will need to be reviewed. Also, the RC script has been removed until it can
be made to work with the new version.
20091226:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/ndoutils
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
When upgrading you'll need to run ./upgradedb; see UPGRADING file.
20091214:
AFFECTS: users of net/grdc
AUTHOR: avl@FreeBSD.org
Grdc has been renamed to Remmina upstream, and the port was also renamed
to reflect this. After installing remmina port you will need to download
the ``grdc2remmina.sh'' script and run it as your normal user(s) that
have ~/.grdc. The script will only create ~/.remmina directory and move
grdc config files to the new path; it does not affect anything else.
$ fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~avl/script/grdc2remmina.sh
$ sh grdc2remmina.sh
20091213:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/zabbix, net-mgmt/zabbix-agent
AUTHOR: Jim Riggs <ports@christianserving.org>
In order to simplify configuration and better separate the different
components of Zabbix, the former zabbix port has been split into three:
zabbix-server, zabbix-proxy, and zabbix-frontend. Each component has
distinct functionality and may be installed independently on separate
systems. The existing zabbix-agent port remains.
Additionally, the new zabbix-frontend port now (correctly) installs the
PHP frontend in PREFIX/www/zabbix. The old zabbix port installed the
files in PREFIX/share/zabbix/php. Web server configurations must be
updated accordingly.
Finally, Zabbix has been updated to version 1.8. Not everyone may be
able to upgrade from version 1.6 immediately, though, so 1.6.8 versions
of the ports are also available as zabbix16-server, zabbix16-proxy,
zabbix16-agent, and zabbix16-frontend.
20091206:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu
AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to 0.11.1, which no longer enables kqemu by
default (if built with KQEMU knob on), now you also have to explicitly
pass -enable-kqemu (or -kernel-kqemu as with the previous versions)
if you want to use it. Also note the 0.11 stable branch is the last
qemu branch that still supports kqemu, so if you depend on reasonably
fast emulation on FreeBSD you should start looking for alternatives
some time soon. (VirtualBox?)
20091120:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfixadmin
AUTHOR: Terry Sposato <tabmow@freenode.net>
Due to a bug in the previous postfixadmin port, existing users need to
backup their config.inc.php before they upgrade to postfixadmin-2.3 or
later and put it in place after the upgrade is complete.
20091120:
AFFECTS: users of security/f-prot
AUTHOR: Tim Bishop <tdb@FreeBSD.org>
The main f-prot command is now named fpscan. Virus definitions are
updated using the fpupdate command. fpupdate will automatically run
from periodic every day. To disable set the following option in
/etc/periodic.conf:
fpupdate_enable="NO"
The f-prot port now only works on i386.
20091118:
AFFECTS: users of java/jboss5
AUTHOR: Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz>
The JBoss directory structure has been reorganised to follow hier(7)
guidelines more closely; in particular, transient and deployment files
were moved to /var/jboss5, thus allowing /usr to be read-only.
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.
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 here: 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

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.

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.

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 marked FORBIDDEN for security reasons,
and libxul is new, stable, and preferred 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>
Please read the following:
https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/wiki/DocumentationInstallingUpdatingGOsa

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 to switch to lang/perl5.10 from lang/perl5.8 please follow
instructions in the entry 20090328 in this file.

AFFECTS: users of 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.

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

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon*, x11/kdebase4*, deskutils/kdepim4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
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 desired
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

AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 ports have been moved to libtool22
and libltdl22, respectively, then updated to 2.2.6a. You will need to run
portmaster or portupgrade to properly perform the upgrade:
If using portmaster:
portmaster -o devel/libtool22 devel/libtool15
portmaster -o devel/libltdl22 devel/libltdl15
If using portupgrade:
portupgrade -o devel/libtool22 libtool-1.5\*
portupgrade -o devel/libltdl22 libltdl-1.5\*
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' option 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

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)

AFFECTS: users of Fedora 8 Linux 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 Fedora 8 Linux 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:
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 new version of Perl (5.10):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portmaster -o lang/perl5.10 lang/perl5.8
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.
20090327:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
After version 0.95 clamav-milter does not accept parameters by command
line. If you are using $clamav_milter_flags on rc.conf to set its

$ portupgrade -f -o shells/bash3 bash
20090318:
AFFECTS: users of www/suphp
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.
20090316:
AFFECTS: users of www/geeklog
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
To follow the standards this port has received a small reworking.
WWW_DIR (that defaulted to PREFIX/www/data/geeklog) is deprecated,

20090316:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd
AUTHOR: skylord@linkline.ru
ejabberd's UID and GID have changed (PR ports/105122). Users are advised
to check all configuration files and data in /var/spool/ejabberd to
ensure everything has the correct owner/group.
20090316:
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 like
this:
$ sqlite oldstore.db .dump | sqlite3 newstore.db
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
20090309:
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
# rm -f ${tempfile}
20090309:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
multimedia/phonon port has been split into phonon itself, phonon-xine,
and phonon-gstreamer backends. After updating phonon port you have
to install at least one backend; phonon-xine backend is recommended
for KDE.
20090308:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu
AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to 0.10.0, which now uses the newer
(incompatible) kqemu-kmod-devel port that now also works for the
32 bit "qemu" executable on amd64. If you upgrade emulators/qemu
with the KQEMU knob on, you have to
# pkg_delete kqemu-kmod-1\*
the old kqemu version first if it is installed.
20090304:
AFFECTS: users of comms/py-gammu
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org

20090304:
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.
20090223:
AFFECTS: users of Tcl/Tk
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
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.

AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The claws-mail port includes the S/MIME plugin itself now, it is not
distributed as a separate plugin anymore. It can be enabled with the
GPGME option in the port (disabled by default). If you use the S/MIME
plugin, you should remove the mail/claws-mail-smime port before
enabling GPGME and updating the mail/claws-mail port. People which
already updated mail/claws-mail with GPGME enabled and a non-working
S/MIME plugin need to deinstall mail/claws-mail-smime and reinstall
mail/claws-mail.

AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/deluge
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The Deluge has been updated from 0.5.x to 1.x. The 1.x has been rewritten,
so it is recommend for you to make the back up of your ~/.config/deluge. The
configuration and plugins of 0.5.x do not work in 1.x. Deluge will picking
up the old configuration and try to convert it to the newer format, but I
wouldn't trust it to do it without the back up.
If you prefer to stick with 0.5.x, you can use portmaster:
# portmaster -o net-p2p/deluge05 net-p2p/deluge

claws-mail has been updated to 3.7.0, with this update OpenSSL support
has been removed by upstream in favour of GnuTLS. GnuTLS is now enabled
by default. Themes were have also been split to an extra port which
your can find under x11-themes/claws-mail-themes. Menu was rewritten
entirely in version 3.6.0 using modern GTK interface; as a consequence,
all your custom shortcuts will be lost after upgrade.
20090109:
AFFECTS: users of any Mozilla and Opera products
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The Java plugins now will no longer be picked up by automatically from
these browsers. Because all Java ports share the name of plugins file,
I am thinking about someone or maybe me will need to write something
similar to nspluginwrapper (but in shell script) that can add Java plugin
in ~/.*/plugins/ when user requests one specific version of Java plugin
if this user has more than one version of Java installed. However, for
now, you will have to add Java plugin in ~/.*/plugins/ manually.
20090107:
AFFECTS: users of databases/unixODBC
AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org
The databases/unixODBC port has been updated to 2.2.14. While
containing many bug fixes and minor feature adjustments, this version
no longer ships with the (obsolete) MySQL ODBC driver. MySQL ODBC
driver users will probably want to use databases/mysql-connector-odbc
instead. The text-backed/flatfile driver (libtxtodbc) has also been
removed by the developers but due to some demand may make a return in
a future version or as a separate port.
20090107:
AFFECTS: users of security/libgcrypt
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org
libgcrypt has been upgraded to 1.4.3 which has a shared library version
bump. You need to reinstall all ports that depend on it. Use something
like this:
portupgrade -rf libgcrypt
portmaster -r libgcrypt
20090104:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.13, which requires a shared library
version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports that depend on
it. Please do something like:
# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client
20081230:
AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq
AUTHOR: pneumann@gmail.com
The database schema has changed between RabbitMQ-1.4.0 and this release.
When the RabbitMQ server detects the presence of an old database, it
moves it to a backup location, creates a fresh, empty database, and
logs a warning.
20081226:
AFFECTS: users of www/rt38
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
www/rt38 now respects the FreeBSD directory layout, see hier(7).
With this change, p5-RT-* and p5-RTx-* should be much simpler to use
in the ports collection.
Please note that www/p5-RTx-Shredder is included in www/rt38. This
port will be deprecated and removed.
20081228:
AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced
AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org
The setiathome client has been updated to version 6.03 and version 5.00
of the astropulse client has been added. Before you update, finish and
report your current workunits to avoid losing them. The port now also
includes the client screensavers.
20081228:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/kinput2
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The Wnn backend of japanese/kinput2 port now uses unix domain socket
to communicate the server by default. If $JSERVER environment
variable is defined, the value is used as the server host name. In
In short, the server name is determined in the following way:
$JSERVER --(if null)--> CcWnn.Jserver --(if null)--> "localhost"
If the server host name is null or matches "^unix$", unix domain
socket is used. Note that the default server name in CcWnn.Jserver
is "unix" now.
20081226:
AFFECTS: users of www/rt*
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
www/rt2 www/rt3 www/rt32 www/rt34 are now deprecated and will expire
2009-02-01. All ports now depend on www/rt38 If you can not update
to www/rt38, www/rt36 is still around.
20081224:
AFFECTS: users of www/phpSysInfo
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The www/phpSysInfo port has been split into www/phpsysinfo and
www/phpsysinfo-dev ports.
20081217:
AFFECTS: users of mail/policyd2
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
The RC script for mail/policyd2 has been renamed to avoid a conflict.
If you use this port please change the setting in rc.conf to be
policyd2_enable.

AFFECTS: users of lang/php5
AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org, itetcu@FreeBSD.org, ale@FreeBSD.org
As of PHP 5.2.7, pcre extension is distributed with the core PHP5 package,
and not as a standalone module anymore. Follow the steps below to update
your installation.
Portupgrade users:
pkg_delete -f php5-pcre-5.2.6
pkgdb -F
portupgrade as usual
Portmaster users:
pkg_delete -f php5-pcre\*
portmaster php5
If you are using pecl ports you might need to force an update on them:
portupgrade -f pecl\*
or
portmaster pecl
If you have the pecl hash, json and/or zip extensions you need to replace
them with the PHP5 bundled ones, e.g.:
portmaster/portupgrade -o archivers/php5-zip archivers/pecl-zip
portmaster/portupgrade -o devel/php5-json devel/pecl-json
portmaster/portupgrade -o security/php5-hash security/pecl-hash
If you build your INDEX locally and you tried to build it after the PHP
update commit, you need to rebuild it _after_ you updated lang/php5:
cd /usr/ports && make index
or (if you use ports-mgmt/p5-FreeBSD-Portindex):
cd /usr/ports && cache-init && portindex -o `make -V INDEXFILE`

20081121:
AFFECTS: users of comms/smstools3
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The startup script of comms/smstools3 has changed. For increased security
smstools now runs as user uucp / group dialer by default. The script
commands like sendsms etc. should be executed as user uucp.
To restore the old behaviour, set smsd_user="root" and smsd_group="wheel"
in your /etc/rc.conf.
Hint: use security/sudo for running smsd scripts as user uucp.
20081108:
AFFECTS: users of editors/tamago
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The Wnn backend of editors/tamago port now uses unix domain socket
to communicate the server by default. If $[CJKT]SERVER environment
variable is defined, the value is used as the server host name. In
JSERVER case, for example, the server name is determined in the
following way:
$JSERVER --(if null)--> wnn-jserver --(if null)--> "unix"
If the server host name is null or matches "^unix$", unix domain
socket is used. The path name of the socket can be specified in
wnn-[cjkt]udpath custom variable.

20081030:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/FreeWnn-server
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The jserver daemon in japanese/FreeWnn-server port now uses "127.0.0.1"
as the default listen address for security reason. If you need
the wildcard address (INADDR_ANY), you have to explicitly set
"listenaddr" to 0.0.0.0 in ${PREFIX}/lib/wnn/ja_JP/jserverrc or
add "-a 0.0.0.0" to ${wnn_flags} in /etc/rc.conf.

20081028:
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.
20081026:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/sj3-server
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The sj3serv daemon in japanese/sj3-server port now uses "localhost"
as the default listen address for security reason. If you need
the wildcard address (INADDR_ANY), you have to explicitly set
"servername" to 0.0.0.0 in ${PREFIX}/etc/sj3/serverrc.
20081026:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/Canna and japanese/sj3
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/Canna and japanese/sj3 port have been split into
japanese/canna-server and japanese/canna-lib, and japanese/sj3-server
and japanese/sj3-lib, respectively for more fine-grained dependency
management in the Ports Collection.
20080926:
AFFECTS: users of www/squid30
AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de
The Squid developers decided to disable COSS support in 3.0, cf.
the discussion starting here:
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200809/0067.html
The corresponding port configuration option WITH_SQUID_COSS is still
available but is a no-op for now. If you currently use COSS storage with
Squid 3.0 you need to disable it in squid.conf.
20080924:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd
AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org
proftpd now stores its .delay and .scoreboard files in /var/run/proftpd
instead of /var/run. If you are updating an existing installation,
adjust the following in /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf:
ScoreboardFile /var/run/proftpd/proftpd.scoreboard
Also of note: The third party modules, mod_codeconv, mod_comb, and
mod_sql_tds are not compatible with this release and have been removed.
They will be re-added when the respective authors provide updated versions.
20080909:
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
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.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-mgmt/nagios and net-mgmt/nagios-devel
AUTHOR: Jarrod Sayers <jarrod@netleader.com.au>
The stable Nagios port has now been updated to version 3.0.3. Upgrading
to this version shouldn't require any configuration changes, but note that
most sample configuration files were moved into objects/ directory.
Nagios 2.12 is still available as net-mgmt/nagios2, use the following to
remain on this legacy stable branch:
portmaster -o net-mgmt/nagios2 net-mgmt/nagios
or, if you're using portupgrade:
portupgrade -o net-mgmt/nagios2 net-mgmt/nagios
Nagios 3.x development continues in net-mgmt/nagios-devel, users of this
port in production use should consider switching to the stable branch:
portmaster -o net-mgmt/nagios net-mgmt/nagios-devel
or, if you're using portupgrade:
portupgrade -o net-mgmt/nagios net-mgmt/nagios-devel
20080902:
AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus
AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org
This is a major update.
Deprecated: server-side image maps (use client-side instead); definition
of categories within proc areadef (use proc categories instead); proc print.
Discontinued attributes: proc processdata's stack; proc usedata's element,
proc getdata's rotate, and proc defineunits (use the $changeunits()
function instead).
proc rangebar has been renamed proc boxplot and there are major
functionality changes. Any script that uses proc rangebar will need
maintenance.

AFFECTS: users of devel/git
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", and some server
side programs that need to be accessible for technical reasons. Invoking
a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command line has been deprecated
since early 2006 (and officially announced in 1.5.4 release notes); use
of them from your scripts after adding output from "git --exec-path" to
the $PATH is still supported in this release, but users are again
strongly encouraged to adjust their scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as
we will stop installing "git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in
later releases.

AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq
AUTHOR: pneumann@gmail.com
The database schema has changed in this version of RabbitMQ. If you
attempt to start RabbitMQ-1.4.0 over top of a previous installation,
it will fail, citing "schema_integrity_check_failed". To correct this,
delete your mnesia directory (/var/db/rabbitmq/mnesia) and restart
the server. Note that this will destroy all your durable exchanges and
queues, and all your persisted messages!

20080813:
AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki
AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org
The layout of the ikiwiki.setup file has changed in a significant
way in this release. Old setup files will continue to work, but new
features, like the new websetup interface, require a new format
setup file. You can convert old setup files into the new format by

AFFECTS: users of devel/qt4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The qt4 ports has been updated to 4.4.1. With this update several ports
specific problems have been fixed. Qt4 headers and libraries have been
moved to include/qt4 and lib/qt4. bsd.qt.mk defines QT_INCDIR and
QT_LIBDIR now, which could be used in qt4-dependent ports if required.
Before you start to update your ports, please force update of qmake4 and
qt4-corelib ports. Portmaster users can do:
portmaster devel/qmake4 devel/qt4-moc devel/qt4-corelib

portmaster -o devel/cvsps devel/cvsps-devel
20080728:
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
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)
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!

portupgrade anjuta
20080714:
AFFECTS: users of www/squid
AUTHOR: Thomas-Martin Seck <tmseck@web.de>
www/squid has been updated to Squid 2.7.STABLE3.
The update should be rather straightforward.
The only noticeable change in the port is that the ICAP patch is no
longer included; this is because this patch was unmaintained for a long
time and its use was not really recommended. Please consider moving to
Squid-3 (currently available as www/squid30) if you need ICAP support.
Squid 2.6 is still available as www/squid26 and will probably be removed
from the Ports Tree by the end of 2008.

20080709:
AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki
AUTHOR: Henrik Brix Andersen <brix@FreeBSD.org>
The IkiWiki editpage form now uses the raw page name, not the page title,

IkiWiki installations in order to update their `edit' links to the new
format.
20080708:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu-devel
AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to a 20080620 SVN snapshot, which uses the
new (incompatible) kqemu-kmod-devel port that now also works for the
32 bit "qemu" executable on amd64. If you upgrade qemu-devel with the

AFFECTS: users of irc/ratbox-services
AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul <beech@FreeBSD.org>
Configuration file and database changes have been made between the
1.1.x series and the current release version of ratbox-services.
It is highly recommended that services are stopped, and the proper
upgrade procedure is followed as described in port's documentation,
before restarting newly updated ratbox-services again.
Please remember to backup the database before attempting an
upgrade, as incorrectly upgraded database may be rendered unusable.
The ratbox-services-1.2.x branch implements multi-language support.
However, an inconsistency in the language indexing may result in
errors. It is therefore recommended that the English default to be
used until the next version release.

20080701:
AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion*
AUTHOR: Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
subversion now uses neon-0.28.x (www/neon28) port, and automatic
portupgrade will fail because www/neon28 will conflict with installed
www/neon26 port.
You should upgrade neon library before subversion with the command:
# portupgrade -o www/neon28 neon26
Also, if you use any special subversion ports with bindings, you
should upgrade these ports to clean subversion port with
# portupgrade -o devel/subversion subversion-\*
and install needed bindings (p5-subversion, py-subversion and/or
ruby-subversion) after that.
If you use subversion with bindings installed from devel/subversion
with custom options, don't forget to install separate bindings ports
after subversion upgrade.
20080630:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/cairo, graphics/poppler*, and future users of www/firefox3
AUTHOR: FreeBSD GNOME Team <gnome@FreeBSD.org>
The poppler* ports have been updated to 0.8.3 and the shared libraries
have changed. Firefox 3.0 has been added to the tree as www/firefox3.
These changes require that all dependent ports be updated. You can do
this in one of two ways:
# portmaster pixman
# portmaster \*cairo\*
# portmaster -r poppler-0
or:
# pkgdb -Ff
# portupgrade pixman\* \*cairo\*
# portupgrade -r poppler-0.\*

dkim-filter.conf.
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+.
20080610:
AFFECTS: users of mail/svnmailer

20080605:
AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU)
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:
# portupgrade -rf gettext
# portmaster -r gettext
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

20080513:
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;
Full information in /usr/local/share/doc/amavisd-new/RELEASE_NOTES.
20080513:
AFFECTS: users of audio/ampache
AUTHOR: jadawin@FreeBSD.org

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
snapshot version. You will need to remove this directory and let e17
create it automatically on the next startup.
20080306:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
The update to version 1.0.12 will require manual change to the active

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
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
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.
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
default 1.x configuration, then make corresponding changes to a copy
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.
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"
I cannot guarantee that all 1.x configurations will work with the 2.0
server, and I only recommend using a 1.x configuration as an interim
measure.

Perforce has been updated to version 2007.3. Upgrading is fairly
straightforward, but it is still highly recommended to follow the
upgrading instructions in the release notes:

AFFECTS: users of irc/bitlbee
AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org
irc/bitlbee now stores saved user settings in /var/db/bitlbee/, not
$PREFIX/etc/bitlbee/. You will have to manually move any existing user
settings to the new location (or override the user settings directory
using -d if you wish to keep the old behavior). Other configuration
files are still kept in $PREFIX/etc/bitlbee/ by default.
The default installation is now configured for running bitlbee as user
'nobody' by default. Make sure any existing configuration files are
readable by that user.
