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.
20090804:
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
desirable KDE4 ports:
# pkg_delete -f phonon-4\* phonon-gstreamer\* kdebase-\*4\* kdepim-4\*
# portmaster -a (or portupgrade -a)
# cd ${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde4 && make config && make install clean
20090804:
AFFECTS: users of devel/dbus-qt4, devel/qt4-designer
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
Qt4 ports have been updated to 4.5.2. The recommended update procedure
is to delete qt4-dbus and qt4-designer, then update ports as usual.
Install qt4-designer if needed.
20090802:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 ports have been moved to libtool22
and libltdl22, respectively, then updated to 2.2.6a. You will need to run
portmaster or portupgrade to properly perform the upgrade:
Portmaster:
-----------
portmaster -o devel/libtool22 devel/libtool15
portmaster -o devel/libltdl22 devel/libltdl15
Portupgrade:
------------
portupgrade -o devel/libtool22 libtool-1.5\*
portupgrade -o devel/libltdl22 libltdl-1.5\*
After that, you will need to rebuild all ports that depend on libltdl.
Since all dependent ports' PORTREVISIONs have been bumped, you can run
portupgrade or portmaster with '-a' to complete the upgrade.
20090801:
AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau
AUTHOR: rnoland@FreeBSD.org
An updated libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau have been committed. These
update the API version to 0.0.14 and if you are using DRM you will need
to update your kernel patch. See pkg-message in xf86-video-nouveau for
details.
20090730:
AFFECTS: users of www/tomcat6
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
Tomcat has been updated to 6.0.20 release and the installation directory
is changed from apache-tomcat6.0 to apache-tomcat-6.0. Backup your
configuration files before updating Tomcat, since the previous port will
delete them on deinstall.
20090729:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/heartbeat
AUTHOR: ports@encarnate.com
Heartbeat has been upgraded to the 2.1.4 release. Older configurations
based on version 1 should still work. Read more about the new features
and possible configuration changes at the following URLs:
http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Documentation (Configuration 0.6 Explained)
http://www.linux-ha.org/GettingStartedRevisedV2
20090724:
AFFECTS: users of www/rubygem-rails
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Rails has been updated to 2.3.3. As always, make sure you check the
changes at http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/.
20090720:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.17, which requires a shared library
version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports depending on it.
Run something like:
# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client
or
# portmaster -r net/openldap24-client
20090719:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/jpeg
AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
The IJG jpeg library has been updated to version 7.0. Please rebuild all
ports that depend on it.
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -r jpeg-
Or, if you would prefer a more gradual approach:
portmaster -w jpeg- (Check the man page for more information)
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fr graphics/jpeg
20090704:
AFFECTS: users of www/yaws
AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
The default configuration file path was changed to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/yaws
in version 1.83.
Please remember to update your configuration before upgrading.
20090628:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox3-devel
AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
If your Firefox crashes with the following message while viewing a
HTML5 page: "Bad system call (core dumped)" you need to load the sem
module (kldload sem).
To load sem module on every boot, put the following into your
/boot/loader.conf:
sem_load="YES"
20090624:
AFFECTS: users of mail/crm114
AUTHOR: glebius@cell.glebius.int.ru
The new version of crm uses a new format for css files. Old files should
be rebuilt or started from scratch. If not done, crm114 will lose any
mail processed via it.
20090620:
AFFECTS: gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
Due to the move of several plugins from gstreamer-plugins-bad to
gstreamer-plugins-good and gstreamer-plugins-ugly, it is necessary to
update update gstreamer-plugins-bad first:
portupgrade -R gstreamer-plugins-bad
or, using portmaster:
portmaster gstreamer-plugins-bad
20090619:
AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/transmission-daemon
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The UID/GID of transmission has been changed from 919 to 921. The data
configure has been changed from ${PREFIX}/etc/transmission/home/.config
to ${PREFIX}/etc/transmission/home. To update the UID/GID:
# pw groupmod transmission -g 921
# pw usermod transmission -u 921 -g 921
20090618:
AFFECTS: users of www/p5-Catalyst
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Most applications and plugins should run unaltered on Catalyst 5.80.
However, a lot of refactoring work has taken place, and several changes
have been made which could cause incompatibilities. If your application
or plugin is using deprecated code, or relying on side effects, then you
could have issues upgrading to this release.
http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.80005/lib/Catalyst/Upgrading.pod
20090617:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
The GID of virtualbox has changed due to a conflict with databases/couchdb.
Update GID of vboxusers after updating the port:
# pw groupmod vboxusers -g 920
20090617:
AFFECTS: users of math/fftw3 math/fftw3-long math/fftw3-float
AUTHOR: db@FreeBSD.org
The Fortran option has removed from fftw3 and moved into slave ports,
math/fftw3-fortran math/fftw3-long-fortran and math/fftw3-float-fortran.
20090615:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment and x11-wm/enlightenment-devel
AUTHOR: gahr@FreeBSD.org
The development version of the Enlightenment window manager, a.k.a. E17,
was moved from x11-wm/enlightenment-devel to x11-wm/enlightenment. The
DR16 branch now resides in x11-wm/e16.
20090615:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mlt++
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
The multimedia/mlt++ port was incorporated into multimedia/mlt since
version 0.4.2. Delete multimedia/mlt++ first and then install/update
multimedia/mlt.
20090613:
AFFECTS: users of www/hudson
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
Hudson is now running as a standalone process and no longer relies on
Apache Tomcat. As such, it should now be configured by defining
hudson_* variables in rc.conf. See comments from rc.d script for further
details.
The default setup is using the same port numbers and HTTP URL prefix as
before in order to reduce the effort of upgrading the port. Hence, it
may conflict with some running Apache Tomcat instance. To fix this
problem, you may either deinstall www/tomcat6, or use the following
settings in hudson_args from /etc/rc.conf:
--httpPort=??? --ajp13Port=???
20090611:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache22
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Two rc.d scripts have been renamed:
apache22.sh -> apache22
htcacheclean.sh -> htcacheclean
You'll need to update any crons wrappers, etc. for the new paths.
20090608:
AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-*
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default version of Python has been changed from 2.5.x to 2.6.x.
If you have 2.5.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python25 to
lang/python26 with one of the following commands:
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o lang/python26 lang/python25
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o lang/python26 lang/python25
If you want to retain 2.5.x as default Python version, set the
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' (without quotes) in
/etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following
command:
# portupgrade -R python
Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using the
method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new
Python version.
If using portupgrade:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
If using portmaster:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER
The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of
cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).
This is not the fault of portmaster.
20090606:
AFFECTS: users of java/eclipse
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
The update to 3.4.2 changes the location of the metadata for eclipse to
be more in line with what is used on other platforms. This means that
after the update plugins that have been installed by a user with the
built in Update Manager will need to be reinstalled.
20090605:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org
Version 2.6.1 introduced a POLA violation by expecting aliases.db to be
in /etc/mail/aliases.db (not /etc/aliases.db). With this version the
location is reverted to the right place.
If you updated your installation to 2.6.1 you need to run newaliases(1)
again after you installed 2.6.2.
20090603:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/font-mplus-ipa (and old japanese/ipa-ttfonts)
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
IPAUIGothic has been updated to a version included in IPA font
version 002.03 and added as a separated port
"japanese/font-ipa-uigothic". And the font-mplus-ipa has been
updated to remove the old IPAUIGothic.
Thus the old ipa-ttfonts is almost equivalent to font-ipa +
font-ipa-uigothic + font-mplus-ipa. Note that these three packages
have different licenses from each other.
20090601:
AFFECTS: users of devel/cvs-devel
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
cvs-devel no longer installs /bin/cvs and /bin/cvsbug. These are now
installed into ${PREFIX}/bin. If you wish to use these please be aware
of this change with respect to your path.
20090531:
AFFECTS: users of devel/viewvc
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
viewvc.conf and templates are not compatible to 1.0.x version, even the
database scripts have changed. For details see:
http://viewvc.tigris.org/source/browse/*checkout*/viewvc/trunk/docs/upgrading-howto.html
20090530:
AFFECTS: users of Japanese and Chinese fonts
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
Ports for Japanese fonts have been reorganized in the following way:
japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-mplus-ipa
japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-ipa
japanese/kochi-ttfonts -> japanese/font-kochi
japanese/mplusfonts -> japanese/font-mplus
japanese/sazanami-ttf -> japanese/font-sazanami
japanese/shinonome -> japanese/font-shinonome
japanese/umefont -> japanese/font-ume
japanese/vlgothic -> japanese/font-vlgothic
While basically these are port name changes for consistency,
installation directories are also changed:
font files -> ${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME}/*
symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/{TTF,OTF,fontname,...}/*
symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/{TTF,OTF,misc,fontname,...}/*
A user-visible one is that the directory name "TrueType" is replaced
with "TTF".
Also, japanese/font-std and chinese/font-std have been added as
standard fonts used in the Ports Collection. Currently they
contain:
std.ja_JP/Mincho
std.ja_JP/Gothic
std.ja_JP/Ryumin-Light
std.ja_JP/GothicBBB-Medium
std.zh_CN/STHeiti-Regular
std.zh_CN/STSong-Light
std.zh_CN/MSung-Light
std.zh_CN/MHei-Medium
under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/. They are just symlinks to
corresponding font files. The symlink names are based on popular
PostScript font names.
Applications should refer the font files via XLFD or fontconfig
first. If they need a direct reference to the font file, please use
files in std.*/*. This is because direct reference to a specific
font name in an application configuration file makes the maintenance
difficult when the font file name is changed, for example.
20090516:
AFFECTS: users of devel/viewvc
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
OPTION APACHE2 has been changed to APACHE (WITH_APACHE)
WITH_APACHE2 is deprecated and is being removed.
APACHE_PORT will be pulled in when WITH_APACHE is selected
20090516:
AFFECTS: users of print/cups-base and portupgrade
AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
The print/cups port has been split into multiple ports. If upgrading
from 1.3.10_1 and below, you must remove the installed version first.
20090412:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula-server
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/bacula-server now uses a new catalog format. If upgrading
from the old version please use the update_bacula_tables script
provided with the port before restarting bacula.
20090410:
AFFECTS: users of www/trac-email2trac
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
bin/email2trac.py and bin/delete_spam.py are now installed without the
.py extension to make the suid run_email2trac work and match the online
documentation. If you were using them in scripts or alias entries, you
will need to update paths accordingly.
20090401:
AFFECTS: users of linux Fedora 8 infrastructure ports
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
ATTENTION! Those ports are not default for any version of FreeBSD for now
and may be used with FreeBSD versions 7.2 and above (8-CURRENT is better)
using compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 and linux_base-f8. Please, note that
2.6.16 is not fully supported on 7.x (ex., some syscalls are missing
and cannot be MFCed due to a native FreeBSD ABI breakage).
For more information about transition please read item "20070327: AFFECTS:
users of emulators/linux_base-fc6". That note may be used for upgrading
to linux_base-f8 and linux Fedora 8 infrastructure ports as well.
If you want to switch to linux-f8 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8
20090328:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.10 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.8, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall perl with new 5.10:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
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
parameters you will need to move to new ${PREFIX}/etc/clamav-milter.conf.
20090319:
AFFECTS: users of shells/bash3
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
With the addition of shells/bash version 4.x, people wanting to stick
with bash 3.x should perform the following update:
$ 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,
use WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/www/geeklog).
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 format, 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
The port comms/py-gammu was incorporated into comms/gammu since
1.23.0. Delete comms/py-gammu first and then deinstall/reinstall
comms/gammu with option WITH_PYTHON_GAMMU=YES.
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:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.migration.html
20090216:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.14, which requires a shared
library version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all
ports depending on it. Run something like:
# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client
20090209:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon, x11/kdelibs4, x11/kdebase4*,
deskutils/kdepimlib4, deskutils/kdepim4, devel/automoc4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE4 has been updated from 4.1.4 to 4.2.0. A number of applications
have been moved between packages. The easiest way to avoid various
problems during update is to delete all KDE-4.1.4 ports and install
KDE-4.2.0:
# pkg_delete -f kde\*4.1.4\* automoc4-\*
# portmaster -a (or portupgrade -a)
# cd ${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde4 && make config && make install clean
20090207:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libslang and devel/libslang2
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
devel/libslang has been removed in favor of devel/libslang2 after not
being released during last five years. WITH_SLANG2 is no longer a
valid ports KNOB. All ports depending on devel/libslang should be
recompiled, e.g.:
# portupgrade -o devel/libslang2 devel/libslang
20090130:
AFFECTS: users of www/httptunnel
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org
The startup script has been converted to new rc.d style and split
into two scripts: htc (client) and hts (server). Please check the scripts
for how to set variables in /etc/rc.conf.
20090127:
AFFECTS: gstreamer-plugins
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
The gstapp library moved from the gstreamer-plugins-bad package to
gstreamer-plugins. It will be necessary to rebuild the gstreamer-plugins
port. After updating your installed ports please do (if you are using
portupgrade):
# portupgrade -f gstreamer-plugins
20090127:
AFFECTS: users of www/xpi-deepestsender
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
www/xpi-deepestsender has been updated to version 0.9.0. This version
is *only* for Firefox version 3.x.
20090124:
AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server, sysutils/hal
AUTHOR: rnoland@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/hal has been updated and should now properly detect mice for
in X.org. Use of AllowEmptyInput should no longer be needed for most
users and moused should now work fine.
20090123:
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

AFFECTS: users of devel/linux-glib2, emulation/linux_base-f4
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
Glib2 now is incorporated to emulation/linux_base-fc4 (it has always
been a part of more recent linux base ports). All users should deinstall
devel/linux-glib2 and then deinstall/reinstall emulation/linux_base-f4.

AFFECTS: users of mail/claws-mail, mail/claws-mail-smime
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
or if you use portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o net-p2p/deluge05 net-p2p/deluge
20090118:

AFFECTS: users of GNOME and GTK+
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
GNOME has been updated to 2.24.x. You have to deinstall a few ports
first before using portupgrade or portmaster in order to successfully
upgrade your GNOME installation. After successful upgrade, you have
to reinstall gnome-session so the gnome.desktop session file is properly
installed.
Portupgrade users:
# pkgdb -Ff

AFFECTS: users of mail/claws-mail*
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
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

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

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.

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, ie.:
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`

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.

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

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

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

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

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:

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!

In order to properly update x11-fm/nautilus and misc/shared-mime-info, do
the following using portupgrade:
# pkg_deinstall -fO nautilus
# portupgrade shared-mime-info
# portinstall -O nautilus
Once misc/shared-mime-info has been updated, each user will need to run the
following command:
$ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/

AFFECTS: users of www/ojs2
AUTHOR: Greg Larkin <glarkin@FreeBSD.org>
If you are upgrading from a prior version of ojs2, please backup
your database, uploaded files directory, and your config.inc.php before
the upgrade. Read /usr/local/share/docs/ojs2/UPGRADE or visit
http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/UPGRADE for additional upgrade information.
20080721:
AFFECTS: users of net/freenet6
AUTHOR: Edwin Groothuis <edwin@mavetju.org>
Please note that there has been a major update of this port (from
version 2.x to 5.x) and that the name of the binaries and configuration
files has changed from "tpsc" to "gw6c". The configuration files
have to be copied from ${PREFIX}/share/examples/freenet6 to
${PREFIX}/etc again.
20080719:
AFFECTS: users of x11-fm/gprename
AUTHOR: Martin Tournoij <carpetsmoker@rwxrwxrwx.net>
GPRename configuration files now live ~/.config/gprename instead of ~/, to
upgrade use the following commands:
% mkdir -p ~/.config/gprename
% mv ~/.gprename ~/.config/gprename/gprename
% mv ~/.gprename_log ~/.config/gprename/gprename_log
20080717:
AFFECTS: users of devel/anjuta
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Anjuta's neon dependency has been switched from neon26 to neon28. The
two are incompatible, so you will need to do the following to upgrade:
portupgrade -o www/neon28 neon26
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.
This 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 at the end of 2008.
20080712:
AFFECTS: users of databases/rrdtool
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org
If you use language bindings, like the Perl's RRDs, please upgrade
this port *twice* in order to get the library dependency right.
20080711:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox2
AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul <beech@FreeBSD.org>
The port has been deprecated and gtkdatabox has been updated. This was
done so the port tracks vendor name. Please update by doing:
portupgrade -o x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox2
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, in its 'page' cgi parameter. You will need to rebuild any
existing 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
KQEMU knob on, you have to
# pkg_delete kqemu-kmod-1\*
the old kqemu version first if it is installed.
20080705:
AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki
AUTHOR: Henrik Brix Andersen <brix@FreeBSD.org>
The IkiWiki search plug-in now uses www/xapian-omega as backend
instead of textproc/hyperestraier. You will need to update the
configuration of any search enabled ikiwiki installations and
rebuild them since the search form has changed.
20080704:
AFFECTS: users of misc/shared-mime-info
AUTHOR: FreeBSD GNOME Team <gnome@FreeBSD.org>
The misc/shared-mime-info has been updated to 0.40. The Mime Types caches
have been changed a bit. If you have created any custom MIME types, you
will need to run update-mime-database to update your local Mime Types
caches:
$ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
20080702:
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.
20080702:
AFFECTS: users of mail/nocc
AUTHOR: Alex Dupre <ale@FreeBSD.org>
The Nocc configuration file has been moved into 'config' subdir.
When updating, remove the old conf.php file and reconfigure Nocc.
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.\*
20080627:
AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati
AUTHOR: Jung-uk Kim <jkim@FreeBSD.org>
mach64 and r128 drivers are now separated out from the ati driver.
These video cards are supported by x11-drivers/xf86-video-mach64
and x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128 respectively. If you have one of
the affected video cards and xorg.conf contains the following line:
Driver "ati"
you must specify "mach64" or "r128". Alternatively, you may install
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati to get a wrapper driver.
20080626:
AFFECTS: users of science/gramps
AUTHOR: Anders Troback <freebsd@troback.com>
Before you upgrade from 2.x to 3.x you need to export your existing
databases to a GRAMPS XML file. After the upgrade you can import
them into the new version.
20080624:
AFFECTS: users of irc/ircd-ratbox-devel
AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul <beech@FreeBSD.org>
Upgrading between different beta releases can cause problems when
changes to the ban database schema have occurred. The 'bantool'
utility now comes with a -u switch that will check and update the
ban database as necessary.
Issuing 'bantool -u' is required when upgrading between beta releases
and must not be done while the ircd is running.
20080624:
AFFECTS: users of www/mod_security
AUTHOR: Marcelo Araujo <araujo@FreeBSD.org>
The mod_security port has been updated from 1.9.4 to 2.5.5. Branch 1.9.x

AFFECTS: users of www/opera and www/opera/devel
AUTHOR: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@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; native amd64 binaries; no 4.x
support. You will be asked whether to convert mail and feeds 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].

AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion, subversion-devel and subversion-freebsd
with apr from www/apache22
AUTHOR: Clement Laforet <clement@FreeBSD.org>
apr and apr-util bundled with apache 2.2.9 have been upgraded to 1.3.x, so
shared libraries' versions have been bumped. If you are using subversion
with apache22 apr, you must rebuild subversion after the update.
20080617:
AFFECTS: users of editors/nvi-devel
AUTHOR: Wesley Shields <wxs@FreeBSD.org>
editors/nvi-devel has been changed to install nvi, nex, and nview as
to not conflict with editors/2bsd-vi. Please note the new names if
you use this port.
20080616:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dkim-milter
AUTHOR: Hirohisa Yamaguchi <umq@ueo.co.jp>
Most of the command line options can now be set in configure files.
So the default values (such as milterdkim_socket) are changed to blank.
Upgrading users should check the values both in rc.conf and
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
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Some of the config directives and sections allowed have changed. You will
have to edit your config file when updating to 1.1.0-dev-r1373 version of
the port. Please see the following URL for more information:
http://opensource.perlig.de/en/svnmailer/doc-1.1/#general-config-charset

a specific geographic region, look at devel/pear-Date_Holidays_*
20080605:
AFFECTS: users of audio/paman and audio/pavucontrol
AUTHOR: lippe@FreeBSD.org
paman was renamed to pavucontrol, which are two different projects.
paman is a GTK frontend to PulseAudio, while pavucontrol is a GTK-based
volume control tool to PulseAudio.
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
directories had changed. So you should reinstall all ports depending on
this one. Run something like:
# portupgrade -fr emacs
20080601:
AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki
AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org
If password based logins is enabled in ikiwiki, those passwords were
stored in cleartext in the userdb. To guard against exposing users'
passwords, ikiwiki 2.48 and later use strong (blowfish) hashes for
storing passwords.
To hash existing passwords, update to ikiwiki-2.48 and run the
following command for each of your ikiwiki src dirs:
ikiwiki-transition hashpassword /path/to/your/wiki/srcdir

AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The slave port multimedia/smplayer-qt4 has been removed with the upgrade
of multimedia/smplayer to 0.6.0, qt3 is no longer supported. They are now
fully integrated into multimedia/smplayer.
Please uninstall multimedia/smplayer-qt4 port before upgrading
multimedia/smplayer to version 0.6.0 or higher.
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
Ampache 3.4 uses a different config parser. Unfortunately the new parser
is unable to read old config files. You must run php
${WWWDIR}/bin/migrate_config.inc from the command line.
20080508:
AFFECTS: users of databases/ptop
AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org
The authors have changed the name of this utility to pg_top. To avoid
conflict with another port in the tree with the same name we have retained
'ptop' as the portname. Also note, the binary has also changed to pg_top.
Please start the utility with that name after updating.
20080507:
AFFECTS: perl interface users of audio/gramofile
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org
Perl support is removed due to devel/swig11 removal in ports.
If you use the Perl interface, you are encouraged to use
the new Audio::Gramofile found on CPAN (contact me for the ports).
20080506:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/collectd
AUTHOR: daniel@roe.ch
Previously, net-mgmt/collectd used to remove the config file even if it
was changed by the user. This has now been fixed.
To upgrade without losing your configuration, copy
${PREFIX}/etc/collectd.conf away to a safe place before upgrading
net-mgmt/collectd.
In addition, the default location of the data files changed from
${PREFIX}/var/lib/collectd to /var/db/collectd; you may want to move your
data files and edit your configuration accordingly.

AFFECTS: users of www/p5-Apache-Test
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
www/p5-Apache-Test doesn't actually need www/mod_perl{1,2}. If you would
like to test a mod_perl, than please install www/mod_perl2 or www/mod_perl
as well. The ports infrastructure doesn't support this (yet) but you can
use it to test www/apache13, www/apache20, and/or www/apache22 without
chaining www/p5-Apache-Test.
20080405:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/tracker
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org
The sysutils/tracker port is now a meta port and tracker is now split into

20080312:
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

mail_extra_groups setting was commonly used insecurely. This setting is now
deprecated. Most users should switch to using mail_privileged_group setting,
but if you really need the old functionality use mail_access_groups instead.

AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xmonad
AUTHOR: jacula@gmail.com
From now XMonad uses a new configuration file system, so you don't have
to edit Config.hs anymore. Instead, create a custom configuration file
~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs. You can take a look at some samples on Xmonad's
website. Note that you can be interested in x11-wm/xmonad-contrib.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/symon
AUTHOR: uspoerlein@gmail.com
The symon port has been updated from 2.75 to 2.78. It changes the wire
protocol again. You should update your symux(8) and symon(8) installations
simultaneously, as:
- new symon clients will make old symux servers exit, and
- new symux servers don't understand the old symon client's if() and
mem() probes.

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portupgrade
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
As was claimed in the entry 20070301 below in this file, you should fill
ALT_DEPENDS section of pkgtools.conf for portupgrade to work correctly
with your alternative dependencies. Now it's an obligatory requirement.
It was done as a compromise between speed and complexity.
20080203:
AFFECTS: users of www/xshttpd
AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org
www/xshttpd now uses ${PREFIX}/www/xshttpd/ as a root directory for its
data files. The xshttpd configuration files have been moved to
${PREFIX}/www/xshttpd/conf/. Please move the appropriate local files
manually if you are upgrading from 3.4 or older versions.
20080202:
AFFECTS: users of www/punbb
AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org
Install paths have changed. Please do the following prior to upgrade:
cd /usr/local/www
mv punbb punbb.old
cp -R punbb.old/upload punbb
It is now safe to update as usual.
Notes:
* You will probably get uninstall errors regarding files not found. It's
safe to ignore them
* Your webserver path has changed from www/punbb/upload to www/punbb,
please adjust your webserver configuration and restart it
* When you are satisfied with everything working properly you may remove
the punbb.old directory:
rm -r /usr/local/www/punbb.old

20080118:
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:

20080108:
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.
20071225:
AFFECTS: users of www/amphetadesk
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
www/amphetadesk has been updated to use the USE_RC_SUBR framework for
rc.d scripts. The rc.d script has been renamed from amphetadesk.sh to
amphetadesk for consistency with other ports.
20071216:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/cacti
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
From version 0.8.7a database settings has moved to config.php file.
You have to copy your settings from db-settings.php to config.php and
remove db-settings.php file after updating.
Plugin support is dropped again and will not be revived anymore in the
port. A reason for that is the patch is unofficial and there are long
time lags between a new cacti version released and time when the patch
is adapted.
20071215:
AFFECTS: users of www/suphp
AUTHOR: koitsu@FreeBSD.org
The suPHP port has been upgraded to 0.6.2. This update requires
modifications to your Apache httpd.conf, as the new version of suPHP does
things differently than the previous version -- particularly in regards
to how AddHandler is used.
Previously, enabling suPHP was as simple as:
suPHP_Engine on
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php
With suPHP 0.6.2, these should be changed to:
suPHP_Engine on
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
suPHP_AddHandler application/x-httpd-php
If you forget this change, your PHP content will likely be offered as
downloadable content and not parsed by the PHP interpreter!
Additionally, the new version uses a configuration file vs. compile-time
settings. The configuration file is /usr/local/etc/suphp.conf, and a
working example installed as /usr/local/etc/suphp.conf-example. It's
important that the MIME type under the [handlers] section matches what
the type passed to suPHP_AddHandler in your Apache configuration.
20071101:
AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
There appears to be a conflict with xorg-server 1.4 and previous version
of nvidia-driver: new xorg-server had plist change that made upgrading of
nvidia-driver bomb out with the following error:
===> Checking if x11/nvidia-driver already installed
mv: rename /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so to
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/XXX-libwfb.so.%%.xorg-server-1.4_2,1:

*** Error code 1
To remedy the situation, deinstall any instance of nvidia-driver you might
have, then reinstall xorg-server, e.g.:
# cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server
# make install -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER
After that, new nvidia-driver will install cleanly.
20071101:
AFFECTS: users of net/skype-devel
AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org
The skype-devel port has been upgraded to version 1.4.0.118. This requires
a sysctl change to run. After upgrading, please do:
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.20
from a terminal. You can also add "compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.20" to your
/etc/sysctl.conf to make this change permanent (at boot time).

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/daemontools
AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org
If you were experiencing build problems on NFS when running daemontools's
run-time testsuite, turn off the new TESTS option in the configure screen.
On a related note, svscan can now send its error messages to multilog

In the 4.21 update there are two major user-visible changes:
- the stunnel binary is in ${PREFIX}/bin/, no longer in ${PREFIX}/sbin/;
- the libstunnel library is in ${PREFIX}/lib/stunnel/ instead of lib/.
You may need to adjust your PATH settings or your scripts to accommodate
to the new location of the stunnel executable (and library, if there is
actually anything using it).
20071024:
AFFECTS: all GNOME users and ports depend on misc/gnomehier
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
GNOME has been updated to 2.20.1. All ports that depend on gnomehier have
had their DATADIR moved from share/gnome/ to share/ (e.g.
${LOCALBASE}/share/gnome/ to ${LOCALBASE}/share/).
This puts the FreeBSD GNOME ports more in line with the default GNOME
installation hierarchy. To find the specific directories that have
changed, see misc/gnomehier/files/dirlist. To upgrade your installed
ports, you will need to use either ports-mgmt/portupgrade or
ports-mgmt/portmaster.
Portupgrade users:
# pkgdb -Ff
# portupgrade -f -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
# portupgrade -a
Portmaster users:
# portmaster -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper
# portmaster -a
If some of icons, applets, themes or other customized items have
disappeared from your desktop in this upgrade, you will need to remove and
re-add these items to make them appear again due to the DATADIR change.

20071009:
AFFECTS: users of mail/vpopmail
AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org
The vpopmail port has been upgraded to version 5.4.20. There are several
important changes that may affect your vpopmail installation and may need
you to handle manually:
- THE MYSQL CONNECTION INFORMATION IS NO LONGER DEFINED AT COMPILE-TIME!
The WITH_MYSQL_{USER,PASSWD,SERVER,DB} variables should NOT be defined
when you build the port; place that information in the vpopmail.mysql
file after vpopmail has been installed!
- the default domain is also no longer defined at compile time -- you need
to place it in the defaultdomain file after the installation.
- the defaultdomain and vpopmail.mysql files are no longer blindly removed
on deinstallation, they are only removed if they have not been modified
- in vpopmail 5.4.18, the database schema was changed -- some fields were
extended from 64 to 96 characters. If you do not apply those changes
to your database, as explained in the vpopmail/doc/UPGRADE file, your
vpopmail installation may silently fail or lose the trailing portions
of domain names and usernames.
- in vpopmail 5.4.19, the upstream authors integrated large parts of
Alex Dupre's SpamAssassin support, without the SPAM_THRESHOLD part.
If you use vpopmail along with the SpamAssassin FreeBSD port support,
take extra care to ensure that your installation still processes
e-mail messages in the same way.
- vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for maildrop as a mail delivery agent.
This is available in the FreeBSD port if WITH_MAILDROP is defined.
There is also a new user-limit flag for maildrop delivery.
- vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for MySQL connections via Unix sockets
instead of TCP sockets to the server. To do that, change the second
value (the port number) in vpopmail.mysql to the full pathname of
the MySQL socket (e.g. /tmp/mysql.sock).
- vpopmail 5.4.20 extended the LDAP support; please see README.ldap for
more information, and specify the LDAP connection information in
the vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.ldap file after the installation.

20070913:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg, x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org
X.org ports were updated to 7.3. Since we're now using the modular
build, the upgrade is pretty much painless. If you're using the
x11/xorg meta-port, upgrade should be as easy as:
# portupgrade -R xorg
Users of nvidia-driver will have to make sure Composite extension is
turned off and start Xorg with the following command:
$ startx -- -ignoreABI
The -ignoreABI option is a Xorg option. If you're using gdm, kdm or
xdm, you will have to modify your configuration file so that Xorg
starts with this option.
An updated nvidia-driver should be released soon.
20070905:
AFFECTS: testers of net/openldap24-server
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
openldap24-server was updated to 2.4.5-beta. This is the first beta
release of the OpenLDAP 2.4.x series, and contains significant changes
compared to its previous release.
Berkeley DB 4.2 support was dropped and Berkeley DB 4.6 is now default.
As this is still a beta release, it should be treated accordingly and
should not be used in critical (e.g. production) environments.
20070904:
AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail-scanner
AUTHOR: lippe@freebsdbrasil.com.br
qmail-scanner was updated to 2.x, and 1.x version was repocopied to
mail/qmail-scanner1. There are some differences between these 2 versions:
quarantine-attachments.txt has been renamed to quarantine-events.txt, it is
used to quarantine more than just attachments, and the format of that file
has been changed.
Quarantine directory is now separated into THREE subdirs: "spam", "viruses"
and "policy". This is so sites can arrange different auto-delete jobs to
control the size of these areas if they so wish.
Some features that were hard-wired into the main body of Q-S have been moved
into quarantine-events.txt where they should have been all along. This makes
it possible to change settings without reconfiguring the main body of qmail-
scanner-queue.pl. You will need to rewrite any rules you had in place within
the old quarantine-attachments.txt into the new format quarantine-events.txt
Changed setuid to 6755 -- i.e. it's now setuid and setgid. Forcing all files
to be group qscand will allow those who wish to do so to keep their AV
daemons running as other accounts. They just need to ensure those daemons are
members of the qscand group -- and as such should be able to read the
necessary files. E.g. clamd could run as "clamav", but as long as account
"clamav" is a member of group "qscand", clamd is able to read the mail enough
to scan it.
20070903:
AFFECTS: users of net/whois, net/gwhois
AUTHOR: nivo+kw+ports.bfa274@is-root.com
To avoid a conflicting binary name issue, net/whois has renamed its

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql51-client
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
Since libmysqlclient version number is increased, all ports depending
on it must be recompiled. Run something like:
# portmaster -r mysql-client
20070821:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/pidgin
AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Because sound support was added to finch 2.1.1, the sound files used by
pidgin have been moved from the pidgin port to the libpurple port. This
makes updating a bit tricky. To properly update to pidgin 2.1.1 and retain
sounds, you must first upgrade libpurple and pidgin as you normally would,
then force a rebuild of libpurple. For example, using portupgrade:
# portupgrade net-im/libpurple net-im/pidgin
# portupgrade -f net-im/libpurple
20070804:
AFFECTS: users of DESTDIR
AUTHOR: gabor@FreeBSD.org
DESTDIR is a feature, that allows installation of ports into separate
environments, like jails. The previous implementation, introduced in the
August 2006, had some problems and was very expensive to maintain. It was
completely rolled back, and replaced with a brand new implementation
utilizing chroot.
When DESTDIR is set, the system will chroot into the specified directory,
mount devfs, null mount the ports tree, then proceed with building and
installing. Your kernel must support nullfs (is available as loadable kernel
module on default installation). The target environment must be a full
FreeBSD installation. For advanced use, read comments at the beginning of
bsd.destdir.mk.
20070730:
AFFECTS: users of lang/python24 and py-*
AUTHOR: python@FreeBSD.org
The default version of Python has been changed from 2.4.x to 2.5.x.
If you have 2.4.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python24 to
lang/python25 with a command like:
# portupgrade -o lang/python25 lang/python24
If you want to keep 2.4.x installed alongside 2.5.x, set the
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' without quotes in make.conf,
then go to lang/python and execute
# portupgrade -R python
Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.5, by using one of the
methods above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new Python
version.
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
This Makefile target requires ports-mgmt/portupgrade to be installed.
20070727:
AFFECTS: autotools
AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
Extensive reworking of the autotools ports has occurred, putting them in
the canonical locations, along with a suitable wrapper port to make
developing autotools-using code (as opposed to just building ports)
considerably easier.
Upgrade path is as follows for portupgrade:
1. portupgrade -f 'autoconf*' 'automake*'
2. cd /usr/ports/devel/autotools; make install
3. portupgrade -a
For portmaster:
1. portmaster autoconf automake
2. portmaster devel/autotools
3. portmaster -a
The second step is optional, but is recommended to bring in all versions
of autoconf and automake.

Please add EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 to /etc/make.conf and upgrade Emacs
and related ports with:
# portupgrade -fr emacs
If you want to keep using Emacs 21.3, please add EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs21
to /etc/make.conf and reinstall Emacs from editors/emacs21 port:
# portupgrade -f -o editors/emacs21 emacs

AFFECTS: users of audio/pulseaudio
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
The realtime group (default GID of 557) has been renamed pulse-rt to keep
in sync with the pulseaudio distribution. If you are upgrading from a
previous version of pulseaudio, you will need to modify /etc/group and
change the name of the group with ID 557 to ``pulse-rt''.

AFFECTS: users of www/gallery
AUTHOR: freebsd-ports@varju.ca
The default install location has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/gallery to ${PREFIX}/www/gallery.
20070704:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The media kioslave now mounts all filesystems that support charset conversion
with charset conversion turned on, set to the locale from the user's
environment (LANG). If you are using a customized kernel configuration, make
sure all *_iconv kernel modules are available. At the time of writing, these
are cd9660_iconv, udf_iconv, msdosfs_iconv and ntfs_iconv.
20070614:
AFFECTS: users of www/oscommerce
AUTHOR: vlad@vlad.uz.ua
osCommerce now installs into /usr/local/www/oscommerce instead of
/usr/local/www/data/oscommerce.
20070614:
AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
www/mediawiki version is 1.10 now. 1.9 version was preserved as
www/mediawiki19 port.
20070614:
AFFECTS: users of www/xshttpd-devel and web apps porters
AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org
www/xshttpd-devel now uses ${PREFIX}/www/xshttpd/ as a root
directory for its data files. The xshttpd configuration files have
been moved to ${PREFIX}/www/xshttpd/conf/. Move the appropriate
local files manually if you are upgrading from versions <= 3.5.b07
20070613:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/zabbix
AUTHOR: infofarmer@FreeBSD.org
The agent part has been moved out into net/zabbix-agent. If you need both
the server and the agent, install both ports.
20070612:
AFFECTS: users of security/sshguard
AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org
The port has been split in 3, if you use it with ipfw please:
# portupgrade -o security/sshguard-ipfw sshguard\*
or if you use it with pf:
# portupgrade -o security/sshguard-pf sshguard\*
20070526:
AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce
AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org
Perforce has been updated to version 2006.2. Even though upgrading
should be fairly straightforward, it is still highly recommended
to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes:
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.062/user/relnotes.txt
20070525:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/senna and textproc/p5-Senna
AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org
Index format (binary) and some of APIs are changed. At least you
need to rebuild all indexes, and maybe need to change your code (if
you use senna API) to follow up to new API.
20070514:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba3, japanese/samba3
AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org
ATTENTION! Besides security fixes this version of Samba3
significantly changes a lot of options and behavior of Samba.
Please, read WHATSNEW.txt and other port documentation before
upgrading production systems.
Off-line Logons and AD Site Support
===================================
Winbind's capability to support offline logons has been greatly
improved with the 3.0.25 release including support for locating
domain controllers asynchronously using Active Directory Site
information.
New IdMap Interface for Winbindd
================================
The 3.0.25 release of Samba includes a rewritten IdMap interface
for winbindd which replaces the "idmap backend" parameter. Please
refer to the "idmap domains" description in the smb.conf(5) man
page for more details.
Dynamic DNS Updates
===================
The "net ads join" command is now able to register the host's DNS
A records with Windows 2000 SP4 and 2003 DNS servers. This feature
must be enabled at compile time using the --with-dnsupdate when
running the ./configure script. There is also a related "net ads
dns" command for refreshing a host's records which could be launched
from a dhcp client script when a new IP address is obtained.
Support for Additional ACL Modules
==================================
Samba's POSIX ACL support has been moved inside of the VFS layer
which means it is now possible to support multiple ACL
implementations on the same server including NFSv4 and GPFS ACLs.
VFS ReadAhead Plugin
====================
Windows Vista introduces pipe-lined read support for improved
performance when transferring files. The new vfs_readahead plugin
allows Linux file servers to utilize additional Kernel buffers for
caching files in order to avoid Disk I/O wait time when serving
Vista clients. If you experience poor read performance between
Linux servers and Vista clients, please test the vfs_readahead
module by adding the following lines to the share definition in
smb.conf:
[file_share]
vfs objects = readahead
Note that this plugin will result in additional RAM requirements
due to the increased amount of kernel buffer caches used by smbd.
Please refer to vfs_readahead(8) for more information.
Windows Vista, Office 2007, and Offline Files
=============================================
Research surrounding offline files, Windows Vista, and Microsoft
Office 2007 has revealed a incompatibility between these
applications and the "map acl inherit = no" setting in smb.conf.
Users requiring support client side caching (csc) and offline
files are encouraged to enable the "map acl inherit" for any
affected share definitions in the server's configuration.
Future versions of Samba will enable this setting by default.
Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on
"map acl inherit".
20070519:
AFFECTS: users of Xorg
AUTHOR: kris@FreeBSD.org
Welcome, fearless user! You are about to embark upon a mystical
journey to the world of xorg 7.2.
This upgrade procedure is for users of portupgrade. Users of other
upgrade tools should contact the author for the corresponding upgrade
method for that tool.
It is recommended that you run the xorg 7.2 upgrade inside a script(1)
session. This way, if something goes wrong, you will have hopefully
saved enough information for the developers to debug the problem.
Make sure you choose a filesystem with lots of space for the script
output.
# script xorg-upgrade
You may wish to set BATCH=yes in the environment to avoid interactive
dialogue boxes.
You may want to consider using portupgrade-devel, which fixes some
annoying bugs that cause upgrades to incorrectly be marked as failed
when they actually completed successfully. To switch to
portupgrade-devel:
# portupgrade -f -o ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade
# rm -f /usr/ports/INDEX*.db /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
# pkgdb -fu
If you have changed your ports environment in /etc/make.conf,
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf or similar you need to rebuild INDEX:
# cd /usr/ports && make index
If you have not changed your ports environment you can save some
time and just fetch the latest INDEX:
# cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex
It is necessary to set the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable while
updating from xorg 6.9 to 7.2. Once the upgrade is complete this
is no longer be required.
For users of csh-like shells:
# setenv XORG_UPGRADE yes
For users of sh-like shells:
# export XORG_UPGRADE=yes
Unfortunately portupgrade (nor portupgrade-devel) cannot yet handle
the rigors of the xorg upgrade without a small bit of help:
# portupgrade -Rf libXft
If your machine does NOT have any gstreamer ports installed, you can then
run:
# portupgrade -a
However, if you DO have gstreamer ports installed, you must run:
# portupgrade -a -x 'gstreamer*'
Followed by:
# portupgrade -Rr 'gstreamer*'
When packages are available (wait for the announcement on ports@), you
may prefer to use precompiled packages to speed up the process:
# portupgrade -aP
Once the upgrade completes successfully, you can delete the
xorg-manpages package, which is now orphaned.
# pkg_delete xorg-manpages\*
The final step is to merge remaining files from /usr/X11R6 into
/usr/local (/usr/X11R6 is no longer used with xorg 7.2) and replace
/usr/X11R6 with a symlink.
A script is provided for your convenience (or you may choose to do
this by hand): it will first attempt to back up your /usr/X11R6 into
/usr/tmp/mergebase in case something goes wrong, then look for
conflicts (files in /usr/X11R6 that would overwrite files in
/usr/local). Depending on your system configuration you may have to
resolve some of these conflicts by hand first (if in doubt, ask for
help on freebsd-x11@FreeBSD.org). You may also need to edit the
script if the default locations are not correct on your system.
If your /usr/X11R6 is a file system, you will also need to modify the
script to pause after /usr/X11R6 is backed up, but before the symlink is
created.
# sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh
When the merge operation completes successfully, the /usr/X11R6
directory hierarchy will be removed and replaced by a symlink to
/usr/local. This symlink is necessary because some binary ports (and
some remaining source ports) have hard-coded references to /usr/X11R6.
Congratulations, you are done!
# exit
CAVEATS
Make sure you have the x11/xorg meta-port installed. If you do not have
this meta-port installed with X.Org 6.9, you will miss out on a lot of
the new X.Org 7.2 sub-ports.
If you plan on keeping your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf, make sure you
change ModulePath to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules prior to running X.
If you run into problems running the new X server, try moving aside
your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and allow X to run with default values. After
that you can see the default values in a log file (e.g. /var/log/Xorg.0.log)
and fix your xorg.conf according to the defaults.
IF YOU RUN INTO PROBLEMS:
# uname -a
# ls -l /var/db/pkg
# exit
and send an email to freebsd-x11@FreeBSD.org with a full description
of the problem. Do not include the above typescript in your email,
but bzip2 it and make it available to the developers (e.g. put it
online or send it by private email upon request).
20070428:
AFFECTS: users of print/ghostscript-gnu-{commfont,jpnfont,korfont}
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
These ports now use PostScript virtual fonts to handle CJK CID/TT-CID
emulated fonts. CIDFnmap still works but note that if a font is both
in Resource/Font or Resource/CIDFont and in CIDFnmap, the entry in
Resource/* will be used. For the actual font mapping, see files in
Resource/CIDFont/*. This is just an internal structural change;
default font mapping has not been changed.
If you use CIDFnmap to change a font mapping already defined by
Resource/CIDFont/foo, you have to remove (or rename) the
Resource/CIDFont/foo file first.
20070423:
AFFECTS: users of www/p5-Kwiki
AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org
The current version of Kwiki contains all plugins.
To upgrade from old version (prior to 0.39), please do:
# cd <into your Kwiki site directory>
# rm index.cgi
# rm -rf ./lib # Remove ./lib, if you have one
# kwiki -update
And you are safe to uninstall www/p5-Kwiki-*, which also means
you do not have to install www/p5-Kwiki-*.
20070408:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex{,-base,-tetex}
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/ptex has been removed and japanese/ptex-tetex has been
renamed with japanese/ptex. A pair of ptex and ptex-base and
ptex-tetex are basically the same with each other, so there should
be no functionality regression.
20070407:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios
AUTHOR: jarrod@netleader.com.au
nagios now uses the registered uid/gid 181 for a fresh installation.
To switch to the new scheme, the following may help:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios stop
Stopping nagios.
# find / -user nagios -exec chown 181 {} \;
# find / -group nagios -exec chgrp 181 {} \;
# pw groupmod nagios -g 181
# pw usermod nagios -u 181 -g 181
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios start
Performing sanity check of nagios configuration: OK
Starting nagios.
20070405:
AFFECTS: users of print/ghostscript-*
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org
The default ghostscript port is changed from ghostscript-gnu to
ghostscript-gpl. To upgrade
portupgrade -o print/ghostscript-gpl ghostscript-gnu
portmaster -o print/ghostscript-gpl ghostscript-gnu
If you want to use the ghostscript-gnu as default, put
WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GNU=yes in your make.conf.
20070404:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/gimp and graphics/gimp-devel
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org
The gimp[-devel] port is now a meta-port so users will need to upgrade via
one of the following examples. Gimp now depends on gutenprint instead of
gimp-print, if you have gimp-print installed you will need to
pkg_delete gimp-print before you install or upgrade the gimp.
Portmaster users:
(gimp)
portmaster -o graphics/gimp-app gimp
portmaster graphics/gimp
(gimp-devel)
portmaster -o graphics/gimp-app-devel gimp-devel
portmaster graphics/gimp-devel
Portupgrade users:
(gimp)
portupgrade -o graphics/gimp-app gimp
portupgrade -u graphics/gimp
20070404:
AFFECTS: users of print/gutenprint
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org
The gutenprint port is now a meta-port so users will need to upgrade via
one of the following examples. If you have gimp-print installed you
will need to pkg_delete gimp-print before installing gutenprint.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o print/gutenprint-base gutenprint
portmaster print/gutenprint
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -o print/gutenprint-base gutenprint
portupgrade -u print/gutenprint
20070402:
AFFECTS: users of devel/cvstrac
AUTHOR: nkoch@demig.de
cvstrac is changed to use SQLite 3, users should backup their database
then restore after upgrading. For example:
mv cvstrac.db cvstrac_2.db
sqlite cvstrac_2.db .dump | sqlite3 cvstrac.db
20070327:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-fc6
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
ATTENTION! The port is experimental for now. Use it at your own risk. This
port may be used only with 7-CURRENT and compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16.
To use/test the port (along with linux FC4 infrastructure ports) you
should do:
0. Backup all your vital information!
1. Remove the current linux base port.
2. Add to your /etc/make.conf "OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc6".
3. Make sure no linux application is running.
4. Set appropriate sysctl (compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16).
5. Install emulation/linux_base-fc6.
5a. Those who use linux ports with automatic plist building should
apply the following patch:
ftp://mail.ipt.ru/pub/FreeBSD/patches/bsd.linux-rpm.mk-autoplist.diff
That should be enough at most circumstances. If you have difficulties,
please be sure to expand item 1 to:
1a. Remove all ports that depend on linux base port.
1b. Remove linux base port.
1c. Clean /compat/linux/ directory.
In case you want to get rid of the port, deinstall it, then return
back compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2 (as usual, make sure that no
linux application is running) and remove from /etc/make.conf the line
containing the OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT variable.
20070327:
AFFECTS: users of lang/tcl-tk-wrapper, lang/tcl*, x11-toolkits/tk*
AUTHOR: martin@matuska.org
The lang/tcl-tk-wrapper port has been replaced by lang/tcl-wrapper and
x11-toolkits/tk-wrapper ports. The Tcl and Tk ports no longer include an
option to install the wrapper -- the wrapper ports require a Tcl/Tk
instead. The new configuration files in local etc directory are named:
tclsh.conf, wish.conf.
20070327:
AFFECTS: users of devel/py-sip and x11-toolkits/py-qt
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
py-sip and py-qt has been updated to the latest snapshot. Please update
py-sip *before* updating py-qt and/or installing py-qt4-*. The full changelog
can be found at http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/py-qt4.txt
20070325:
AFFECTS: users of www/drupal and drupal-*
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org
All 4.x drupal ports are renamed to have a drupal4 prefix. As a result,
default install location is changed from PREFIX/www/drupal to
PREFIX/www/drupal4. Take some precautions when upgrading.
20070319:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/fluxbox and x11-wm/fluxbox-devel
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The x11-wm/fluxbox-devel has been merged into x11-wm/fluxbox. You should
back up your ~/.fluxbox and remove it. If you still want to keep using
your good old ~/.fluxbox, you will have to do the following:
- Since prefix has been changed from X11BASE (/usr/X11R6) to
LOCALBASE (/usr/local), you might have to edit a few paths in
the ~/.fluxbox/* if there are any.
- The bsetroot has been renamed to fbsetroot. You might have to
tweak a few themes for bsetroot -> fbsetroot. Other way it can be
is to install the x11-wm/boxtools that has bsetroot if you do not
want to edit any themes.
While I am here, don't forget to use 'pkgdb -Ff'. As for the portmaster
users, I don't think you will need to do anything since portmaster will
take care of it by default.
20070318:
AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU)
AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.16.1, the shared library version
of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all ports that
depend on gettext (read: most of them, sorry):
portupgrade -rf gettext
or:
portmaster -r gettext
In addition, if you have multimedia/vlc installed, you should deinstall
it *before* either of the above commands, and reinstall it manually
afterwards: vlc erroneously installs its own version of lib/charset.alias
which will overwrite the one supplied by devel/gettext otherwise.
20070313:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The HAL option has been turned on by default and the fstabbackend
patches which have kept the fstab backend for the media kioslave
at the status quo of KDE 3.5.3 have been removed. This means that
MOUNTING DEVICES THROUGH KDE WILL NO LONGER WORK WITHOUT HAL.
Thus if you wish to use device icons or the media:/ view in konqueror,
make sure to turn on the HAL option in the x11/kdebase3 port and also
read /usr/ports/UPDATING entry 20061219 and
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q19 for more information on
using HAL.
20070312:
AFFECTS: all users of net/py-libdnet
AUTHOR: tmclaugh@FreeBSD.org
The py-libdnet port has been separated out as a slave port to libdnet and
is now dependent on libdnet. py-libdnet now only installs the libdnet
python modules. Since files previously owned by py-libdnet are now owned
by its dependency, in order to upgrade correctly, py-libdnet must be
deinstalled and then reinstalled manually.
20070205:
AFFECTS: all users of FreeBSD 4.X
AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
The remnants of FreeBSD 4.X support have been removed from bsd.port.mk.
Any remaining users should _not_ get this or any subsequent updates.
20070311:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment-devel
AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org
The binary used to start an enlightenment session was renamed from
enlightenment to enlightenment_start. All users should update their
xinitrc's or other startup files to reflect this change.
20070301:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portupgrade*
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
Because of a bug in previous version, it's recommended you fill ALT_PKGDEP
section in pkgtools.conf file for portupgrade be aware of alternative
dependencies you use, and run pkgdb -L to restore dependencies that was
lost.
Example of ALT_PKGDEP section:
ALT_PKGDEP = {
'www/apache13' => 'www/apache13-modssl',
'print/ghostscript-afpl' => 'print/ghostscript-gnu',
}
Note also, portupgrade knows nothing how to handle ports with different
suffixes (E.g. -nox11). So you should define explicitly variables
(E.g. WITHOUT_X11=yes) for the ports in /etc/make.conf or pkgtools.conf
(MAKE_ARGS section) files.
20070227:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/jabber*
AUTHOR: martin@matuska.org
With update to version 1.6.0 the name of the jabber daemon has been
changed to bin/jabberd14 to avoid conflicts with other jabber daemons.
The port now supports WITH_MYSQL and WITH_POSTGRESQL knobs.
If you are using one of the following ports please recompile it due
to changes in the library.
net-im/jabber-conference
net-im/jabber-jud
net-im/jabber-yahoo
Some configuration directives have changed, too. Please see example
configuration files and README.jabberd14 files in the ports above.
20070223:
AFFECTS: users of audio/speex and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The shared library version has been changed in audio/speex, so you will
have to rebuild all ports that depend on speex. You need to do following:
Portupgrade users:
pkgdb -Ff
portupgrade -rf speex\*
Portmaster users, skip a first step if you don't have audio/speex-devel
installed:
portmaster -o audio/speex speex-devel
portmaster -r speex
20070218:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/symon
AUTHOR: uspoerlein@gmail.com
The symon port has been updated from 2.72 to 2.75. It changes the wire
protocol, therefore, you should update your symux(8) installation first,
before updating your symon(8) clients. symux(8) is backwards compatible and
understands both protocol versions.
20070215:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
Since version 0.90, clamd.conf and clamav.conf have changed their syntax.
All parameters can now be turned on/off using a boolean value (0,1) or
(on,off) or (true,false), the old crude hack of "DisableDefaultScanOptions"
is no longer required.
Please, check ${PREFIX}/etc/(clamd|freshclam).conf.default and make needed
changes on your conf files.
20070215:
AFFECTS: users of www/py-turbogears
AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org
TurboGears has been updated from version 0.8.9 to 1.0.1,
so there are significant changes. After upgrading the port,
with the usual portupgrade/portmanager command, it is highly
recommended to follow the instructions at this URL:
http://www.turbogears.com/download/upgrade.html
starting from section "Updating from 0.8 to 0.9" on, to make
your projects/code consistent with the new version.
20070210:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The media kioslave now mounts cdrom/dvd volumes with local charset
conversion (mount_cd9660 -C <charset>), which requires the cd9660_iconv
kernel module to be available for volumes with ISO 9660 filesystems and
the udf and udf_iconv kernel modules for UDF filesystems.
20070209:
AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
nVidia continues to drop support for old ("legacy") GPUs. To deal with
this fact, the port now allows to specify correct NVVERSION in order to
build driver that supports your graphics card. Currently, supported
"legacy" values are 7184 and 9631. Consult nVidia's README (Appendix A)
to find out whether you need to use legacy driver version, and exactly
which one. Alternatively, you can install one of the corresponding
`x11/nvidia-driver-XXXX' slave ports, where XXXX == needed NVVERSION.
20070208:
AFFECTS: users of databases/pear-MDB2
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org
All databases dependent bits are moved into other PEAR modules. You need
to install appropriate databases/pear-MDB2_Driver_* port.
20070207:
AFFECTS: users of www/squid*
AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de
The www/squid port has been updated to 2.6. If you are updating from Squid
2.5, please read the Squid release notes at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/squid-2.6.STABLE9-RELEASENOTES.html
and see whether you need to adapt your squid.conf to the changes described
there.
Squid 2.5 will be available as www/squid25 for next few months. But note
it's no longer being maintained by the Squid developers.
20070206:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu
AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org
qemu now uses aio at least for ide dma, so if you get
"Invalid system call" crashes that is because aio is not (kld)loaded.
20070206:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/djvulibre
AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org
djview was renamed to djview3. For now, the symlink djview->djview3
installed for compatibility. However, users should refer to djview3(1)
instead of djview(1).
20070205:
AFFECTS: prospective users of devel/qt4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The qt4 ports and associated infrastructure introduce a few new
Makefile variables and porting concepts (compared to qt33).
For details and examples, see
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2007-February/000239.html
20070205:
AFFECTS: everybody
AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org
New ports category was created: ports-mgmt.
Most significant port moved to this new category is portupgrade.
So don't be alarmed, it was not deleted. You can find it now in
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade.
20070205:
AFFECTS: users of devel/portmk
AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org
With the repocopy of portmk to ports-mgmt, you need to update your
make.conf. Change the two Makevars BSDPORTMK and BSDPORTSUBDIRMK
to point to ports-mgmt/portmk.
20070202:
AFFECTS: users of www/aolserver
AUTHOR: martin@matuska.org
With update to aolserver 4.5.0 modules have been moved to separate ports.
The following modules are available initially:
archivers/aolserver-nszlib

AFFECTS: users of irc/weechat
AUTHOR: az@FreeBSD.org
For users of any previous version, all your charset settings
in weechat.rc will be LOST! You should save your weechat.rc
to keep your values and set them again with new "charset" plugin.
For ISO users: history of channels may be without accents
(after /upgrade), this is not recoverable, but this is not a bug.
All new messages should be ok.
Be careful, now default encode is UTF-8 for all channels (before
it was terminal charset). If you still want to send messages as
ISO-8859-1, you should send either global encode or server specific
encode to ISO-8859-1.
For global encode: /setp charset.global.encode = "ISO-8859-1"
For server encode: (on server buffer) /charset encode ISO-8859-1

they where installed with the client). If you update the client, you
should also update the server to make sure you are not left without
the server-side tools. Do something like:
portupgrade postgresql-client postgresql-server
20070105:
AFFECTS: users of mail/spamprobe
AUTHOR: stefan@FreeBSD.org
With the update to version 1.4d, the SpamProbe port doesn't use the OPTIONS
framework any more to allow part of the changes below. That means that options
selected for this port won't be saved/used automatically any more and you have
to set the appropriate variables in /etc/make.conf or on the command line to
change the port's behaviour; the variables are documented at the top of the
port's Makefile. Before updating, it might be a good idea to remove
/var/db/ports/spamprobe.
The port now has support for the PBL database backend; unless built with
WITHOUT_PBL set, SpamProbe will use PBL as the default even if you have an
existing BerkleyDB or hash database; in that case, use the parameter "-d" to
specify the type of the existing database on the command line, e.g.:
spamprobe -d bdb:$HOME/.spamprobe receive
or:
spamprobe -d hash:$HOME/.spamprobe receive
Using PBL instead of BerkleyDB might be a good idea, though, as the former
seems to perform better. You can convert your existing database to PBL using
the following commands (assuming you didn't disable PBL support):
cd
mkdir spamprobe.new
spamprobe -d bdb:.spamprobe export | spamprobe -d spamprobe.new import
mv .spamprobe spamprobe.old
mv spamprobe.new .spamprobe

AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org
The security/gnupg port was upgraded to 2.0.1 (with security fix)

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

To do this, add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf:
dbus_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
Notes and known problems about mounting devices in media:/ with HAL enabled:
- Your user must be in group operator in order to be able to mount removable
media.
- Removable media drives (such as CD-ROM drives) *MUST NOT* be listed in
/etc/fstab in order to be mountable.
- If you mount a volume by double-clicking it, it may appear empty. Refresh
the fileview in konqueror to see the files.
- Mounting floppies is currently not supported.
You can still mount them in KDE if ...
- You have an fstab entry for your floppy pointing to a mountpoint
owned by your user (e.g. somewhere in your homedir)
- The vfs.usermount sysctl is set to 1
... by creating a floppy device icon on your KDE desktop and selecting
the above-mentioned fstab entry in the device dropdown list on the

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

AFFECTS: users of devel/avr-gcc*
AUTHOR: joerg@FreeBSD.org
The old avr-gcc port has been renamed into avr-gcc-3, and continues
support for GCC 3.x (for a while).
The former avr-gcc-devel port has been moved into avr-gcc, so GCC
4.x is now the default.
There is an entry in MOVED for the latter change but not for the
former one, as the automated tools (e.g. portupgrade) got confused
otherwise.
If you've previously been using avr-gcc-devel, these tools should
automatically take notice (based on the entry in MOVED), and change
the installed package to avr-gcc.
If you've previously been using avr-gcc, and want to move on to the
new default GCC 4.x, this should be fully automatic, as the port
name just stays, and the version increases.
If you've previously been using avr-gcc, and want to stay at GCC 3.x
for some reason, please manually perform a portupgrade to the new
name:
portupgrade -o devel/avr-gcc-3 avr-gcc

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

AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org
libtunepimp has been updated to 0.5. But it breaks some ports depend
on it such as audio/juk and audio/amarok. To fix this kind of problem,
try to install audio/libtunepimp-old, which is previous version of
audio/libtunepimp.

AFFECTS: users of graphics/GraphicsMagick
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
In order to fix a symbol collision between GraphicsMagick and libtidy,
GraphicsMagick has been updated so that all its symbols are now prefixed with
'Gm'. Consequently, all dependencies should be upgraded when you perform this
upgrade with this command:
portupgrade -rf graphics/GraphicsMagick

AFFECTS: users of net/nss_ldap
AUTHOR: tmclaugh@sdf.lonestar.org
The krb5_ccname option in ldap.conf has been fixed in the port so that it
now works. Please be aware of this when updating if you have it in your
config and are using GSSAPI when use_sasl is enabled. Using GSSAPI with a
misconfigured krb5_ccname combined with one of the 'hard' bind_policy
options can effectively lockout users.
20060728:
AFFECTS: users of polish/ekg and polish/ibgadu
AUTHOR: mwisnicki+freebsd@gmail.com
If you have installed both ekg-1.6,2 and libgadu-20051229_1 then you should
first deinstall them and install polish/ekg after that, e.g.:
pkg_deinstall -f pl-ekg-\* pl-libgadu-\*
portinstall polish/ekg

AFFECTS: users of www/dillo-i18n
AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de
Starting with version 20060709 the i18n version of Dillo encodes
the bookmark file using UTF-8 encoding. You can try to convert
your existing bookmark file with the bm-update script or you could
try to convert it by hand using iconv(1) from you current locale
to UTF-8, e.g. by calling 'iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 ~/.dillo/bm.txt'.
Please see the iconv documentation for further details.

AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org
mail/postfix was updated to 2.3.0 and does no longer support POSTFIX_OPTIONS,
please consider using "make config" to set your OPTIONS. The SPF patch was
removed since this does not apply cleanly and has problems when using
pipe(8). Consider using mail/postfix-policyd-spf instead of the SPF patch.
If you need the Postfix 2.2 version you can find this in mail/postfix22.
20060715:
AFFECTS: users of Aspell or its versions bundled with dictionaries
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
Since aspell-0.60.4_4, all dictionaries can be installed separately:
- by default, textproc/aspell installs the English dictionaries (no
change);
- thereafter you can install any foreign dictionary;
- when you install a foreign dictionary, e.g. french/aspell or
textproc/da-aspell, it installs only the dictionaries, and depends
upon textproc/aspell for the programs;
- if you don't need the English dictionaries, you can define
WITHOUT_DICTEN or install textproc/aspell-without-dicten.
20060714:
AFFECTS: users of security/krb5
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
As of MIT KRB5 1.5, Kerberos no longer supports static linking nor
do the static libraries build. The reason for this is that KRB5 1.5
implements plugins to implement functions. GSS-API is now implemented
as a function. As such, the MIT Kerberos team has yet to implement
plugins using static libraries. Users requiring static libraries or
statically linked binaries are advised not to upgrade to this release
until MIT provides a solution for statically linked binaries.

AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/terminus-font
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
Since version 4.20, terminus-font changed place to install fonts to
${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/terminus-font, please, add this new path to your
font paths.
20060711:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba3
AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org
Starting from version 3.0.23 Samba no longer supports experimental
SQL and XML passdb backends. If you need this functionality, please
visit http://pdbsql.sourceforge.net/ (port is coming soon).
The default mapping entries for groups such as "Domain Admins" are
no longer created when using an smbpasswd file or a tdbsam passdb
backend. Use 'net groupmap add' rather than 'net groupmap modify'
to set these entries.
A substring matching rule has been added to the sambaSID attribute
definition. For OpenLDAP servers, this will require the addition
of 'index sambaSID sub' to the slapd.conf configuration file. It
will be necessary to run slapindex after making this change. There
has been no change to actual data storage schema.
20060711:
AFFECTS: users of games/linux-ut
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org, sean-freebsd@farley.org
Some fixes for network play were done in UnrealTournament.ini
There are two ways to fix it:
1. The easy way is to remove the ${HOME}/.loki/ut directory, yet all
local settings will be lost.
2. The hard way: in ${HOME}/.loki/ut/UnrealTrounament.ini, under the
[Core.System] section, SavePath, CachePath and multiple Paths
variables should be replaced with the ones in (and in the same order
as) ${PREFIX}/share/linux-ut/System/UnrealTournament.ini.

AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org
gnutls has been updated to 1.4.0 and all shared libraries' versions

AFFECTS: users of audio/amarok
AUTHOR: mich@FreeBSD.org
A bunch of port options have been removed, so you should remove your
current options, before attempting to build the port.
- Enter the amarok port directory, and run `make rmconfig'
20060703:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
Because portupgrade had a problem with detecting Berkley DB version 2
or newer, and the default database format is now set to use these
versions, you can end up with a portupgrade that does not work with
older databases. A quick fix is to remove the databases, type:
'rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX*.db'.
portupgrade will recreate them automatically. It does absolutely no harm.
If you do not want remove the databases, you should detect what database
type do you use, and set the port options for portupgrade accordingly.
Follow these instructions:
- run 'pkgdb -fu' *before* upgrading and take a look on the output.
You can see database format there as: format:XXX, where XXX is your
current database format.
- Go to portupgrade port directory and configure the port with
`make config' command. If you have bdb_* format, then turn on the BDB4
option. If you have bdb1_* format, then turn off BDB4 and turn on
the BDB1 option. If you have dbd_hash format, then turn off all options.
- Upgrade portupgrade.
Note: if you change database format with changing port options,
you should remove the ruby-bdb* port that you don't need anymore.
Alternatively, you can hard code database format in your pkgtools.conf.
20060702:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/handbrake
AUTHOR: multimedia@FreeBSD.org
The GTK+2 version in the 0.7.x has been disabled by the author, because it

(or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to
upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=22' to /etc/make.conf.
20060616:
AFFECTS: users of emulation/linux_base-*
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
We now use Fedora Core 4 as the linux base port, and the corresponding
xorg libs for the linux X11 libs port.
To upgrade you have to run
portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\*
portupgrade -f -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs
You need to make sure that you have not changed the sysctl
compat.linux.osrelease. FC4 behaves differently depending on the
content of this sysctl. Only the default value of this sysctl is
supported. In case of problems also revert to the default of the
compat.linux.osname if changed.
In case "printenv | grep LD_" prints something, e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or LD_PRELOAD, you have to make sure it is not set when starting
linux programs, else FreeBSD libraries will be picked up and the
programs do not start.
After this start a linux program to test, e.g., acroread. If you get
errors when starting linux programs about problems with libraries, and
you made sure no LD_* variable is set as described above, you are one of
those unlucky people where we do not have a better solution as to tell
you to deinstall every linux port, remove /compat/linux completely to
make sure no cruft is left and reinstall everything you need.

AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail-spamcontrol
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
Updated to version 2.4.14 that brings a lot of news, most significant is
STARTTLS support on smtpd and pop3d, if you want to use it, you need to
install sysutils/ucspi-ssl-tls port that has the necessary patch applied.
Remember to select STDERR option and rebuild security/clamav port, this is
necessary to have the correct log on smtpd.
After upgrade from 2.3.x you will need to set environment var SMTPAUTH to
enable auth, you can set it as "login" or "crammd5" to set which auth you
want.

AFFECTS: users of news/inn
AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com
The 2.4.3 port of inn has an unfortunate bug which causes inn's database files
to be erased during an uninstall or upgrade. Earlier versions are also
affected. The latest port revision fixes this, but before upgrading, users are
advised to move their ${PREFIX}/news/db directory out of the way, in order to
save the history, active and newsgroups databases from destruction.
20060526:
AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-new
AUTHOR: gkovesdan@t-hosting.hu
The Clamav project recommended that security/clamav and security/clamav-devel
should depend on archivers/unzoo instead of zoo, and on archivers/arj instead
of unarj. Because the clamav and clamav-devel ports are used quite often with
amavisd-new, this port was modified to depend on the same two archiver ports
as well. The amavisd-new port automatically recognizes arj, but not unzoo, so
${PREFIX}/etc/amavisd.conf should be modified. This line should be changed:
['zoo', \&do_zoo, 'zoo'],
To this one:
['zoo', \&do_zoo, ['zoo','unzoo'] ],
20060526:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap23-server
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
The setting of SHELL backend has been inverted to off by default,
because of the side effect it can cause. A new option, SLURPD
has been added to give the user decision on whether the
replication should be built and installed. Please note that the
replication daemon is disabled when threading is disabled (e.g.
when using shell backend), no matter what the user option SLURPD
is set to.
You are advised to do a "make config" in the net/openldap23-server

AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced,
astro/boinc-setiathome-naparst, astro-boinc-setiathome
AUTHOR: r.c.ladan@gmail.com
As SETI@home doesn't generate work for 4.x clients anymore, the ports
structure has been updated to use the 5.x client by default.
People currently using any of the above ports should finish and report
their existing work (both for normal and enhanced) and not allow any
new work until after their ports are updated, to minimize loss of
work.
Note that this update changes the enhanced client to work for the
normal instead of the beta project. When a beta client for Astropulse
is released, it will work as the new client for the beta project.

20060506:
AFFECTS: users of PHP
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The old PHP slave ports (phpN-cli, phpN-cgi and mod_phpN) were removed
in favor of unified PHP ports that allow building any combination of
PHP SAPIs (cli, cgi and apache module).
The PHP CGI binary was renamed to php-cgi, so you should update
the path in your script. To simplify the update process, *only* for
this release a 'php' compatibility symlink to php-cgi will be created
if you don't select the CLI SAPI.
Before the upgrade you *should* run 'make config' in lang/php4 or
lang/php5 to configure the SAPIs you want to install.
As a consequence the default binary packages include the CLI and the
FastCGI SAPIs.

AFFECTS: users of lang/lua, editors/kile, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org
Recently, the port of Lua was updated to version 5.1. This version is
incompatible with the version 5.0, which is used in a number of applications,
most notable in the Kile and Kate editors (the latter being part of a base
KDE installation).
If you're having troubles running those, such as error dialogs saying "Check

AFFECTS: users of www/instiki
AUTHOR: arsptr@optusnet.com.au
The instiki port has changed storage methods to use an SQL database.
The README contains instructions on how to migrate existing wiki data to the
new storage methods. The following is a copy of the relevant information,
tailored for FreeBSD port users:
1. cd /usr/ports/www/instiki; make extract
2. Execute
ruby work/instiki-0.11.0/script/import_storage \
-t /usr/local/instiki/storage/2500 \
-i /usr/local/instiki \
-d sqlite \
-o [some location]/instiki_import.sql
3. This will produce instiki_import.sql file in the specified location.
Open it in a text editor and inspect carefully.
4. Upgrade your instiki port normally (e.g. portupgrade)
5. Connect to your production database, e.g.:
sqlite3 /usr/local/instiki/db/production.db.sqlite3
and have it execute instiki_import.sql, e.g.:
.read [some location]/instiki_import.sql
6. Execute
ruby /usr/local/instiki/script/reset_references production
(this script parses all pages for crosslinks between them, so it
may take a few minutes)

AFFECTS: users of net/{ipw,iwi}-firmware
AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org
Some changes in the way ipw(4) and iwi(4) work lead to fundamental
changes in ipw-firmware and iwi-firmware ports. Since these drivers
are now using loadable kernel modules as firmware, two new ports have
been created: net/ipw-firmware-kmod and net/iwi-firmware-kmod.
You should not be able to install the wrong one since detection is
based on your FreeBSD version. Trying to install the wrong port will
result in an error message (port marked as IGNORE).

AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com
The Horde ports no longer overwrite your existing configuration
files during an upgrade: if you have modified any of the files in the
config directory of any of these ports, they will be left untouched

the File Daemon at boot time, set the following in rc.conf(5):
bacula_fd_enable="YES"
The old z-bacula.sh script in PREFIX/etc/rc.d should be removed.
20060403:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db*
AUTHOR: swhetzel@gmail.com
Most of the ports that depend on Berkeley DB have been updated to use
Mk/bsd.database.mk. Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to include MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Berkeley DB, and SQLite in a port.
The Berkeley DB support in Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to return the proper
db* library name and location of the include and library directories of the
requested version.
To select a version of Berkeley DB, you can use either WITH_BDB_VER=<version>
or ${UNIQUENAME}_WITH_BDB_VER=<version> (version is one of 3, 40, 41, 42, 43,
or 44).
When a port has USE_BDB defined as either 'USE_BDB=41+' or 'USE_BDB=yes', the
port will use the oldest installed version of Berkeley DB. For example if
both db41 and db43 are installed, the port would end up compiling with db41.
If you add -DWITH_BDB_HIGHEST to your make command, the port will use highest
db* instead. If no Berkeley DB is installed then the port will default to the
version specified or the default Berkeley DB version (currently db41).
NOTE: If a port was using a different variable to select Berkeley DB or a
version, you will get an IGNORE message when you build the port. This
message will tell you what you need to do.
Port Maintainers please review the comments in Mk/bsd.database.mk on what
variables are available for you use in your own ports.
20060331:
AFFECTS: users of biology/emboss and biology/embassy
AUTHOR: fernan@iib.unsam.edu.ar
Since EMBOSS-3.0.0 both EMBOSS and EMBASSY install by default into
$LOCALBASE/emboss to avoid conflicts with other ports.
Users upgrading to 3.0.0 should take this into consideration when
planning the upgrade, because it will involve moving data not
installed by the port (databases) and tweaking the emboss.defaults
config file.
If you want to install the ports into $LOCALBASE (/usr/local, the old
behavior), you can still do so by setting PREFIX manually. But you
will have to take care of conflicting ports yourself.
20060330:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The genkdmconf.sh rc-script has been removed in favor of a kdm wrapper
script, which now handles both launching kdm and automatically updating or
generating kdm's configuration files. The actual kdm binaries have been
renamed to 'kdm-bin', 'kdm-bin_config' and 'kdm-bin_greet' respectively.
These changes should be mostly transparent to kdm users and require no
changes to existing configurations or setups, however: The actual kdm process
is now also named 'kdm-bin', so 'killall kdm' will no longer work.

separate scripts to get more control over the different services.
Please take a look into the nut, nut_upslog and nut_upsmon scripts
installed in ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/ for possible rc.conf values and their
defaults.

AFFECTS: users of textproc/docproj[-jadetex]
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
docproj now installs a set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)
related stuff in case that you have chosen to install the
jadetex feature. Because the CJK part could be potentially
large for those who do not want it, this feature can be disabled
by defining WITHOUT_CJK=yes.

Unfortunately, it turns out that printing feature of Adobe
Reader 7.0.5 does not work with FreeBSD's Linux emulation
environment for now. Although English, French, German,
Japanese, and Korean version of the port were updated to
7.0.5 on 2006/02/21, these changes have been reverted consequently.
Please update the packages installed (normal upgrading procedure
by using portupgrade(1) and so on should work). I am sorry for the

AFFECTS: net-im/jabber-pyicq and net-im/jabber-pymsn
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
Port versions older than 0.7 and 0.11a respectively run as root which
is an unneeded security risk. Newer versions run as as user jabber,
so before starting the daemons, you should fix permissions for each
spooldir (default: /var/spool/jabber):
# chown -R jabber:jabber spooldir/Transport_JID
20060223:
AFFECTS: all ports using libtool as part of the build process
AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org
The way in which ports that require libtool to build has been
completely reworked to bring the ports system in line with other
environments, such as Linux, and pkgsrc.
devel/libtool13 no longer exists. devel/libtool15 has been modified
to (a) install in the canonical locations and (b) remove a number
of long-standing FreeBSD-specific patches that resulted in a very
different libtool than is present on other systems.
The main visible change will be that a large number of ports have
had their plists modified (we now install libtool .la archives)
and, as such, PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on ~2000 ports (roughly
1/7th of the tree).
Unfortunately, there is no simple upgrade path. Short of removing
all packages and reinstalling from scratch, the only other viable
alternative would be careful use of portupgrade. Given the large
number of different ways in which libtool is used by other ports
in the tree, this is a process that is likely to vary considerably
from system to system, and as such, folks should be very mindful
of running automatic updating software, such as portupgrade, making
extensive use of the -n flag (and equivalents for other updaters)
to see what will actually be rebuilt, before actually performing
the upgrade.
The good news is that the system now in place will make the handling
of libtool-using ports considerably easier going forward.
20060221:
AFFECTS: users of print/acroread7 and the localized versions
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
installation directory of print/acroread7 and the slave ports
have been changed to ${PREFIX}/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/${ADOBE_LANG}.
${ADOBE_LANG} is one of CHS,CHT,DAN,DEU,ENU,ESP,FRA,ITA,JPN,KOR,
NLD,NOR,PTB,SUO,SVE and represents language used in the UI (FRA means
French version and it is installed by french/acroread, for example).
To configure the UI language, navigate to Edit->Preferences->International->
Application Language, set it to "Choose at application startup" and
restart the program.
The command filename is ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread as before (this is
a script installed by print/acroreadwrapper now), and if multiple
versions are installed, one of them will be selected according to
${ADOBE_LANG} environment variable. If ${ADOBE_LANG} is not set,
it will be automatically set by using ${LANG}; this means when
LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-15, ADOBE_LANG will be FRA and the French version
will be invoked by ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread. You can set ADOBE_LANG
manually, too.
Also, if you want to activate the PDF plugin, use --install-plugin
option in ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread. For more detail, see
print/acroreadwrapper/pkg-message.
20060220:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8

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

AFFECTS: users of www/jakarta-tomcat4, www/jakarta-tomcat41,
www/jakarta-tomcat5, www/jakarta-tomcat55, and www/tomcat55
AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org
The Tomcat ports listed above have been converted to use new-style
rc scripts. In order to enable Tomcat, you must add:
tomcat{4,41,5,55}_enable="YES"
to your rc.conf. Select the appropriate version number for your
installation. When shutting down, the rc scripts will kill the
Tomcat process after a default timeout of 10 seconds. This can be
changed by setting the tomcatXX_stop_timeout variable in rc.conf.
Tomcat 5.5 users please note that the rc variables have changed name
from jakarta_tomcat55_* to tomcat55_*.
The "tomcatctl" executable is no longer installed. Please use the
rc scripts to control tomcat instead.

20060126:
AFFECTS: ports that use Display Postscript libraries and xorg-libraries
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
Support for Display Postscript has been deprecated in X.Org 6.9 release
and libraries and tools are no longer installed by default. If you have
installed a port that complains about missing libdpstk or libpsres, you
need to reinstall it so it will be build without DPS support.
20060123:
AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail, mail/qmail-ldap, mail/qmail-mysql,
mail/qmail-spamcontrol, mail/qmail-tls and all dependant
ports.
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
If you use qmail installed on a PREFIX different of /var/qmail,
please, set a var on /etc/make.conf named QMAIL_PREFIX with this
value. It'll be used for many ports that depends of qmail.
To prevent stale dependencies, when you use one of qmail slave ports,
now you just need to set a var named QMAIL_SLAVEPORT on /etc/make.conf
assigning to it the name of slave port you are using.
The valid options for now are:
* ldap
* mysql
* spamcontrol
* tls
20060114:

portupgrade -rf gnutls
20060111:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/lxdvdrip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
lxdvdrip has been updated to version 1.51 depending on port
multimedia/vamps. However, multimedia/vamps needs to know beforehand
how many bytes will be processed in order to work. Unfortunately,
lxdvdrip cannot provide such information. Therefore, vamps and
playcell specific tailored versions shipped within the lxdvdrip
distribution will be used. They will be named so that lxdvdrip
does not conflict with multimedia/vamps. This is for lxdvdrip
version 1.51_1.
However, users that used lxdvdrip previously to this update, are
required to modify their configuration file in order to comply
to the new naming scheme.
File: ~/.lxdvdrip.conf

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-server
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
All postgresql versions have been updated. These patch releases fix
a problem with character string comparisons for locales that
consider different character combinations as equal, such as
Hungarian. This might require "REINDEX" to fix existing indexes on
textual columns. Also, if plperl is used, a "REINDEX" might be
required under certain conditions. Check the HISTORY file in the

20060108:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3, deskutils/superkaramba,
x11-themes/kde-windeco-smoothblend, irc/kvirc, editors/vimpart
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
A number of files have been moved from kdebase to kdelibs between
KDE 3.4.3 and KDE 3.5.0 and some applications which used to be
distributed separately from KDE have been included in the release.
This means that you will have to take some precautions in order to
update your KDE installation without interruptions.
We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you
to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using
sudo).
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports.
pkg_deinstall -f kdebase-\[0-9\]\* superkaramba-\[0-9\]\* \
kde-windeco-smoothblend-\[0-9]\* kvirc-\[0-9\]\* \
kdeaddons-vimpart-\[0-9\]\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1.
portinstall -O kdebase
Superkaramba is now included in misc/kdeutils3.
The smoothblend window decoration is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3.
Vimpart is being discontinued and no longer part of KDE.
KNOWN ISSUES:
=============
Just like KDE 3.4, KDE 3.5 does not play nice with openssl-0.9.8. In
particular it breaks kwallet, some of the SSL handling in konqueror and
SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact.
If you're using the openssl ports rather than the base-system openssl,
make sure to use security/openssl-stable.
You can put WITH_OPENSSL_STABLE=yes into /etc/make.conf to automatically
make ports depend on that rather than on security/openssl.
FreeBSD 4.x users MUST install openssl-stable even if the base openssl is
present for SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact to work. Unfortunately, the
kdepim3 port cannot depend on it automatically due to shortcomings/bugs in
ports-collection's openssl infrastructure.
20060106:
AFFECTS: users of deskutils/kronolith <= 2.0.6 with MCAL backend
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
Beginning with release 2.1, the support of MCAL will be removed

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

AFFECTS: users of p5-libapreq2
AUTHOR: vanilla@FreeBSD.org
libapreq2 can be pure c library, I believe some people need pure c library,
but hate mod_perl, so I split it to 2 ports, and set libapreq2 as

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

AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The Ant launcher script now uses javavmwrapper to pick a suitable JDK. Hence
it is no longer needed to define JAVA_HOME for Ant to run. You may rather use
and combination of JAVA_VERSION, JAVA_OS and JAVA_VENDOR. See javavm(1) for
further information. However, you may still override this behavior using
JAVACMD.
The ANT_INCLUDE_SHARED_JARS variable used to be effective only when set to
"YES" (case sensitive). It is now a defined/undefined switch and thus will be
effective if defined, regardless of its value.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/kdeadmin3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
One data file has been moved from kdeadmin to kdelibs between
KDE 3.4.1 and KDE 3.4.2. This means that
*********if you currently have the kdeadmin port installed*********
you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE
installation.
We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires
you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using
sudo).
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports:
pkg_deinstall -f kdeadmin-\[0-9\]\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports:
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1:
portinstall -O kdeadmin

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/sge and sysutils/sgeee
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
A port of SGE 6 has been installed in sysutils/sge. SGE 6 is
significantly different from SGE 5 and an upgrade is only possible
by removing the SGE 5 install and replacing it. The SGE vs SGEEE
distinction has been removed in SGE 6 so the sgeee port was removed.
The sge and sgeee ports were repo copied to sge53 and sgeee53
respectively and existing installations may continue to use them.
20050727:
AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird-server

* suid-ed binaries have been moved to /usr/local/sbin
Update inetd.conf/xinetd.conf to reflect new location of "fb_inet_server".
20050722:
AFFECTS: all RELENG_6 and HEAD users of ports/packages, maintainers
of ports that interact with the compat libraries.
AUTHOR: kensmith@FreeBSD.org
The shared library version number of all shared libraries built as
part of the baseline system has been incremented in both RELENG_6
and HEAD. The overall goal is to make handling of the compat library
infrastructure easier. Each new release branch will have different
version numbers for all of the shared libraries and the compat ports
can simply include all of the shared libraries from the previous
release.
If you update your system using normal cvsup/rebuild/reinstall
mechanisms the old versions of the libraries will still be on your
system so your old ports executables will continue to work.
But you definitely should plan on recompiling and reinstalling all
of your installed ports so they get relinked against the new libraries.
If you don't take this step as time goes on "normal" updates and
installs run the risk of having executables relying on both the new
and old versions of the libraries which would cause big problems.
It will take some time for the pre-built packages available on the
FTP mirror sites to be rebuilt against the new libraries. If you
want to update your ports using the pre-built packages watch the
mailing lists for when the rebuilt packages become available.
20050710:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt33, x11/kdelibs3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
If you have compiled qt33 with the KDE_OPTIONS option checked (if your
installed qt-package is called qt-copy-3.3.4 instead of qt-3.3.4, check
with pkg_info), you should cvsup and recompile qt33 and everything
depending on it:
portupgrade -rf qt\*
Previous versions of the qt33 port contained a patch that
introduces binary incompatibility between unpatched qt33 and software
compiled against a patched qt33.
Symptoms of the binary incompatibility: Unresolved symbol warnings from
various KDE/Qt applications (both during runtime or compiling/linking),
"Could not start kdeinit" dialogs during KDE startup, kicker crashes during
exiting KDE.
20050630:
AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
Due to several complaints, new (unsupported) option had been added to port
Makefile: WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT. Starting with version 7667, NVidia has
dropped support for numerous "legacy" GPUs, while this option allows to go
with previous version of driver (this does not apply to older versions of
FreeBSD, since you have to use version 6113 of driver (if you did not yet
upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 or later) which has support for those GPUs).
If you must use WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option, be sure to ``hold'' the
package by making appropriate entry in your pkgtools.conf, otherwise
portupgrade(1) will upgrade your port to latest NVidia release on the
next run, which is probably not what you want.
Refer to x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile for further details.
20050625:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.7. You should update everything
depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see
its manual page for details.
20050622:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd-*
AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org
ProFTPd binary moved from ${PREFIX}/libexec to ${PREFIX}/sbin. People
using proftpd with inetd must use ${PREFIX}/sbin/in.proftpd (or
${PREFIX}/sbin/proftpd which is just the same). Read the commit log
and diffs for more information.
20050621:
AFFECTS: users of net/cacti
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
Because of users need to keep their DB configuration but config.php
can't be saved on upgrading, I've moved DB settings in db-settings.php.
So, you need to change db-settings.php and do not touch config.php
anymore.
20050618:
AFFECTS: users of alternate linux_base ports
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}).
20050610:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/wget built with SSL (default)
AUTHOR: sf@FreeBSD.org
wget 1.10 now authenticates certificate of remote host before making a
SSL connection. To make it work, you should have working CA root
certificates list in /etc/ssl/cert.pem.
If you don't have it there are options:
a) install security/ca-roots port and you have done.
b) install ftp/curl port and symlink it to /etc/ssl/cert.pem.
ln -s /usr/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/cert.pem
c) put your favorite one into certain place.

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mpeg4ip and multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org
Starting with version 1.3 mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installs libmp4av that mpeg4ip
previously installed. It is advised to de-install mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and
mpeg4ip before updating to mpeg4ip-1.3 or mpeg4ip-libmp4v2-1.3. If you
have already updated mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and mpeg4ip you should deinstall
mpeg4ip and reinstall mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 before updating mpeg4ip.
This does not affect users who just have mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installed

AFFECTS: users of www/mod_perl2 and all ports depending on it
AUTHOR: lars.eggert@gmx.net.
API changed for mod_perl2 -- existing code will break!
The mod_perl2 developers have significantly changed the API
in release candidate 2.0.0-RC5. These changes include changed
names for core packages, causing software that uses the old API
to fail with the new version. You need to update your code as
described in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html
20050517:
AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird
AUTHOR: freebsd@galle.com.br
The port was split into a -server and -client parts.
The -server contains server binary, UDFs, and install all in
${PREFIX}/firebird. The -client contains libs, includes,
client binaries, docs and examples. For migration delete
the firebird port and install the -server and/or -client port
afterwards.
20050512:
AFFECTS: users of devel/svk
AUTHOR: rafan@infor.org
Since SVK 0.30, it is fast enough and PPerl causes some problems.

20050511:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|contrib)
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL ports have been updated to latest versions. A
security problem in the template database requires a simple SQL
command to be run on each database. Because these problems are
really incorrect system catalog entries, updating to a new release
will NOT by itself solve the problems in an existing
installation.
See http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315 for details.

AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml based applications and libraries
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
With the recent update of ocaml to 3.08.3 some API compatibility

AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-authlib
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
mail/courier-authlib has been moved to security/courier-authlib and is
now only a meta-port. Installing the meta-port installs security/
courier-authlib-base and no, one or more sub-ports regarding to what
authentication methods you've chosen. Courier-authlib-base only

AFFECTS: users of www/opera-devel
AUTHOR: avleeuwen@piwebs.com
Opera 8.0 final has been released and can be installed via the
www/opera port. The opera-devel port is now deprecated. If you want
to continue using the personal settings you used with www/opera-devel,

20050421:
AFFECTS: users of www/opera
AUTHOR: avleeuwen@piwebs.com
Opera has been updated to 8.0. If are upgrading from version 7.x or
below, it is recommended that you backup your personal ~/.opera
directory and remove it, like this:
# cp -Rp ~/.opera ~/.opera-bak
# rm -rf ~/.opera
After that, you can put your bookmarks, email, contacts, etc. back in
~/.opera/. The most important files are your bookmarks
(~/.opera/opera6.adr) and your emails (~/.opera/mail). It is not a good
idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini, pluginpath.ini and other
non-personal stuff back in ~/.opera/. If you need custom settings,
reconfigure Opera from the Preferences pane or edit the files by hand.
20050420:

# cp -Rp ~/.linux-opera ~/.linux-opera-bak
# rm -rf ~/.linux-opera
After that, you can put your bookmark, email, contacts and etc back in
~/.linux-opera/. The bookmark is ~/.linux-opera/opera6.adr and the email is
~/.linux-opera/mail as you can figure out by view in ~/.linux-opera/. It is
probably not good idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini,
pluginpath.ini and other non-personal stuff back in ~/.linux-opera/. The
non-personal stuff should be re-configure on new stuff by either Opera
preferences in GUI or hand (manual) in your editor.

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL ports are updated to 8.0.2. All shared libraries'

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql50-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default:
/var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port
compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable.
In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables
have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency.

AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3,
x11-themes/kdeartwork3, www/akregator, x11-themes/phase,
multimedia/kdemultimedia3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
In KDE 3.4, a number of files were moved between ports, some ports
were added, one port has been removed and some applications formerly available
in their own ports were incorporated into KDE. This means that you will have
to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple
portupgrade -a will not work.
Portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you
have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following
procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed
and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in
to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you
choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic
behavior and crashes from applications launched until you log out and back
in.
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports:
pkg_deinstall -f kdeartwork-\[0-9\]\* kdebase-\[0-9\]\* \
kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-\[0-9\]\* kdewebdev-\[0-9\]\* \
kde-\[0-9\]\* akregator\* phase\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports:
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1:
portinstall -O kdebase kdeartwork kdewebdev
Changes in detail:
- www/akregator is now included into deskutils/kdepim3.
- x11-themes/phase is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3.
- www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated into
x11/kdebase3.
- Juk has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
available as audio/juk.
- Akode has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
available as audio/akode and audio/akode-plugins-*. Akode is also
a default dependency of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 now.
- audio/mpeglib_artsplug has been demoted to legacy status and is no
longer the default decoder backend for kdemultimedia3. It's also not
depended on by kdemultimedia3 by default anymore.
Known post-updating issues:
- If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update:
rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
Then log out of KDE and back in again (also see
http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.php#q16).
- kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations
by running (as root or with sudo)
genkdmconf
Make sure to backup your old kdm configuration (usually found in
/usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an
invalid configuration. Especially note that kdm does not use the Xservers
file anymore. A genkdmconf run will merge its contents into kdmrc.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portsnap
AUTHOR: cperciva@FreeBSD.org
As a result of shifting from SHA-1 to SHA-256, the structure of
portsnap's configuration file and compressed snapshot have both
changed. After upgrading to portsnap 0.9, you will have to
update your configuration file ($PREFIX/etc/portsnap.conf) and
delete your existing portsnap compressed snapshot:
# cd /usr/local/etc && cp portsnap.conf.sample portsnap.conf
# rm -r /usr/local/portsnap/*
In addition, be aware that the next runs of "portsnap fetch" and
"portsnap update" will take far longer than usual, since they
will need to download and extract a complete copy of the ports
tree.

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7[34]-server
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The startup script has been merged from 8.0 to 7.3 and 7.4. Hence,
to start the PostgreSQL server at boot time (regardless of version),
add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
postgresql_enable=yes

AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/blackbox, x11-wm/boxtools, x11-wm/bbkeys, and
x11-wm/bbpager
AUTHOR: A.J.Caines@halplant.com
The new blackbox ports include several changes to use and configuration.
Please read the pkg-message files in the respective ports for details.
20050315:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql323-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The MySQL daemon must now be enabled/disabled in rc.conf.
The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default:
/var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port
compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable.
See the script for details.
20050314:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql40-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default:
/var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port
compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable.
In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables
have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency.
20050313:
AFFECTS: users of games/netpanzerdata, games/netpanzer
AUTHOR: mad@madpilot.net
The netpanzerdata port has changed it's name to netpanzer-data,
so before installing the new one you will need to remove the old
netpanzerdata-0.1.3 port.
20050312:
AFFECTS: all users who have glib/gtk/gnome libraries installed
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org and the FreeBSD GNOME team
Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6.
DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk
or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade
will cause problems and you will have to manually
upgrade ports. Please use the gnome_upgrade.sh
script from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh
20050309:
AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop
AUTHOR: sergei@FreeBSD.org
maildrop has been recently upgraded to 1.8.0. This version
has the following changes:
- Maildir quota is now enabled by default.
The following options were deleted:
- WITH_MAILDIRQUOTA
- WITH_TRASHQUOTA
- New option WITH_AUTHLIB is added, which provides optional support for
Courier Auth Library (mail/courier-authlib port).
- Userdb authentication, LDAP and MySQL support are provided through
courier-authlib now, thus the following options
- WITH_USERDB
- WITH_LDAP
- WITH_MYSQL
have been superseded by WITH_AUTHLIB.
20050306:
AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus
AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org
ploticus is now installed as bin/ploticus rather than bin/pl to
avoid useless conflicts with other ports.
20050303:
AFFECTS: users of net/i2p
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
The newest i2p version 0.5.0.1 is incompatible with all previous
versions. Follow these procedures if you are updating from a
previous port version. You can ignore these if you are installing
i2p for the first time.
1) Update i2p port to the new one
2) Use the i2prouter script to uninstall i2p from user account.
You are going to lose all your configuration:
$ i2prouter uninstall
3) Install the new i2p version:
$ i2prouter install
20050301:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ganglia-monitor-core
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
With the move to Ganglia 3.0.0, the configuration file for gmond has
changed completely. The -r or --convert options may be used to
emit a file in the new format given one in the old.
Startup is now controlled by an RC_SUBR script so the gmond_enable and
gmetad_enable variables will need to be set for gmond and gmetad to be
started. Existing gmond.sh and gmetad.sh scripts in PREFIX/etc/rc.d
should be removed.
Due to a bug in ganglia's build process, the previous version may need
to be removed before ganglia can be upgraded.
20050224:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby18 and any apps that depend on ruby18
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The theads support has been disabled again. It causes the more trouble, so
it now builds with ${PTHREAD_CFLAGS} and ${PTHREAD_LIBS}. It is recommend
you to rebuild any apps that depend on lang/ruby18. Do something like this:
portupgrade -rf ruby-1.8.2\*
20050224:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache21
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
When upgrading from 2.1.2, you need to rebuild all apache modules.
20050215:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql41-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default:
/var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port
compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable.
In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables
have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency.
20050214:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios
AUTHOR: blaz@si.FreeBSD.org
Nagios has been upgraded to 2.0.b2. Native support for storing various types
of data (status, retention, comment, downtime, etc.) in MySQL and PostgreSQL
has been dropped. There are also multiple changes to the format of
configuration files. Carefully read
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html before upgrading.
20050213:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX-*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/teTeX-* are now based on teTeX 3.0. Although some reliability fixes
are also added, here are several common problems which you might fall on.
1) $PREFIX/bin/pdftex is missing:
Probably your system has old files included teTeX 2.x which can
prevent the new version from working. Please remove the old files
first (see entry 20050206 in this file) and reinstall.
2) Some formats are still corrupted (for example, "Fatal format file error;
I'm stymied" is displayed) or not updated even after a clean install:
You might have old or corrupted *.fmt and/or *.map files under
/root/.texmf-* or $HOME/.texmf-* directories. Typically these
directories are generated when you invoke the updmap(1), texconfig(1),
or fmtutil(1) utility manually. However, for a period after the first
revision of the teTeX-base port erroneously used fmtutil(1) to
regenerate *.fmt files, you could have these directories without your
intent. In such a case, please remove these directories and reinstall
the ports (it is not needed to rebuild ports/packages). Just for your
information, $HOME/.texmf-config and $HOME/.texmf-var can be used for
your personal configuration.
If you have other problems, please contact hrs@FreeBSD.org.
20050212:
AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/mkbold, x11-fonts/mkitalic, and
x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic
AUTHOR: koma2@ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp
The dependency on x11-fonts/mkbold and x11-fonts/mkitalic has been
switched over to x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, which is written in C
and has far better performance than the old ones. There is no
functional difference between the two, but they will conflict with
each other. Since other ports which depend on x11-fonts/mkbold or
x11-fonts/mkitalic will be updated to depend on x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic,
you might get an error during upgrading such ports. In such a case,
please pkg_delete the old ones first.
20050206:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX and japanese/teTeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/teTeX is now based on a teTeX 3.0 release candidate
(2.99.13.20050204) and the other related ports are also updated.
Since upgrading from previous versions should be done at a time,
you may want to use the portupgrade utility or reinstall
print/teTeX after deinstalling all of the related ports.
If your teTeX environment became broken during the upgrade,
please see the following URL which explains how to fix it.
http://people.freebsd.org/~hrs/tetex-upgrade.txt
This file also includes notes for people who are familiar
with the teTeX distribution to explain structure of the ports.
20050205:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby16_r, lang/ruby18_r, and lang/ruby18
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been
dropped and lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been removed,
since no one seems to appreciate the partially working solution.
Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled
by default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is
linked with libpthread. This will allow threaded extension
libraries to run and work properly on those systems.
20050201:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5 has been updated to 5.6.2, and lang/perl5.8 has been
updated to 5.8.6. You should update everything depending on perl, that
is:
* first, upgrade your perl installation (use either lang/perl5 or
lang/perl5.8, the latter being recommended);
* for FreeBSD 4.X, run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you
have 5.8.6 or 5.6.2; this step is not needed on FreeBSD 5.X and
FreeBSD -CURRENT;
* run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl,
that is run something like:
portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5\* | tail +4; \
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.[68].[1245] -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //') | sort -u`
This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them
afterwards by hand.
20050130:
AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
Each of the PostgreSQL ports have been split into a server and a
client part. Please use postgresqlNN-server and/or
postgresqlNN-client as needed. Versions currently supported are 7.3,
7.4 and 8.0.
To start the PostgreSQL server at boot time, add the following to
/etc/rc.conf:
postgresql_enable=yes
The maintenance script is installed in etc/periodic/daily, and is
controlled by a set of new knobs in periodic.conf. Use it for
vacuuming your databases and get daily backups. Note that daily
vacuuming is on by default. See the script for details.
20050130:
AFFECTS: users of net/howl
AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Howl now installs an rcNG script for starting mDNSResponder. To enable
mDNSResponder to start at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
mdnsresponder_enable="YES"
You can also pass flags to mDNSResponder by setting the rc.conf variable
mdnsresponder_flags to the appropriate value. See the mDNSResponder(8)
man page for the list of supported flags. The default is not to pass
any flags to mDNSResponder.
20050126:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
If you use Xorg 6.8.1: Make sure there is an /tmp/.ICE-unix with propper
rights. For further informations about that, please refer to 20041229
Please update all your plugins as well when you update from 4.0.6 to 4.2
They all need recompiling to link against the new xfce libraries
20050122:
AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL
AUTHOR: seanc@FreeBSD.org
The -devel port has been updated to contain 8.0 release since
postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the
changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can
use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been
committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about
tracking ports and if used in production, update to
databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No
dump/reload will be required when changing from -devel to
postgresql80-server.
20050117:
AFFECTS: users of mail/spambnc
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
The SpamBouncer has been upgraded from version 1.9 to 2.0-RC3, and you
have to modify your ~/.procmailrc files. Please read upgrading.html in
/usr/local/share/doc/spambnc.
20050117:
AFFECTS: users of cad/astk-client
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
ASTK has been moved; if there exists files $HOME/.astkrc/config_serveurs,
you have to update the entry rep_serv from /usr/local/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/bin
to /usr/local/aster/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/bin (or you can remove $HOME/.astkrc).
20050114:
AFFECTS: users of security/libgnomesu, esp. on FreeBSD 4.x.
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
If you installed libgnomesu the day it was added to the ports tree,
you have a malformed PAM control file in /etc/pam.d/. All libgnomesu
users should remove /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam, and 5.x users should
replace it with the version in the updated libgnomesu port (ensure
that you're using the most current revision of the libgnomesu port).
4.x users: listen up! The presence of the /etc/pam.d/ directory (and
anything in that directory) presents a Very Bad Thing. Unless you've
manually tweaked your PAM settings, you must run:
# rm /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam
# rmdir /etc/pam.d/
or all users will be locked out of your system!
20050110:
AFFECTS: users of irc/iip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
iip has been updated to the new network servers. Therefore, both
old configuration files and node reference keys no longer apply.
Therefore, you need to update the configuration files for each
user running the iip isproxy daemon:
1) Backup configuration files:
cp ~/.iip/isproxy.ini ~/.iip/isproxy.ini.backup
cp ~/.iip/node.ref ~/.iip/node.ref.backup
2) Remove configuration files:
rm ~/.iip/isproxy.ini
rm ~/.iip/node.ref
3) Create new configuration. Fill information as requested. This
creates the updated isproxy.ini file:
isproxy -C
4) Start iip isproxy. This will initialize your updated node.ref
file. This file will be automatically updated when you connect
to the iip network:
isproxy
20050110:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nautilus-cd-burner
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Nautilus-cd-burner now requires cdrtools built with UTF-8 encoding
support. The default sysutils/cdrtools port does not support this
encoding, and that will cause nautilus-cd-burner to enter an infinite
loop when trying to create CD images. To workaround this, the cdrtools
dependency was changed in nautilus-cd-burner to point to the
sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port instead.
Since sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-cjk conflict, you must
uninstall cdrtools so that the nautilus-cd-burner update can properly
pull in cdrtools-cjk.
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap, mail/sqwebmail
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Courier-imap and sqwebmail are now dependent on courier-authlib. If
you've changed the default authentication config for courier-imap or
sqwebmail, you will have to redo the changes for courier-authlib.
You may wish to deinstall courier-imap and/or sqwebmail before you
install courier-authlib. Since courier-authlib replaces parts of both
ports, some of courier-authlib's files are listed as sqwebmail and
courier-imap files and deinstalling old courier-imap and/or sqwebmail
port may cause the deinstallation of the freshly installed
courier-authlib files.
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/sqwebmail
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Sqwebmail now installs it's files directly under PREFIX. That means for
instance that files that were formerly found under
PREFIX/share/sqwebmail/etc/ are now located under PREFIX/etc/sqwebmail.
Furthermore you need to set sqwebmaild_enable=YES in your rc.conf
because the rc.d script has been migrated to use the rc.subr Subsystem
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
The variable courier_imap_imapdssl_enable have been renamed to
courier_imap_imapd_ssl_enable.
The variable courier_imap_pop3dssl_enable have been renamed to

AFFECTS: users of the linux compatibility environment
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The default linux_base was changed from v7 to v8. You need to update from
v7 to v8 and rebuild every linux port. To update run:
portupgrade -rf -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base
In case you already use linux_base-8 you have to run:
portupgrade -rf emulators/linux_base-8
20041229:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3, x11-servers/xorg-server
AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
If KDE does not start anymore after upgrading Xorg to version 6.8.1
(X restarts when the KDE splash screen has reached the third icon),
please check whether the directory /tmp/.ICE-unix exists, is owned by root
and has permissions 1777 (read/write/access for everybody + sticky bit).
To make sure everything is in working order, do (as root):
mkdir -p /tmp/.ICE-unix && chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix &&
chown root:wheel /tmp/.ICE-unix
Also, make sure you do NOT have clear_tmp_enable="YES" set in /etc/rc.conf,
as it will remove the directory on every reboot and applications will re-
create it with the wrong ownership.
Users of daily_clean_tmps_enable in /etc/periodic.conf should make sure
daily_clean_tmps_ignore contains /tmp/.ICE-unix.
20041227:
AFFECTS: users of lang/gambas
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
As of this update, the password of your databases connections are crypted.
If you were using the database manager, please remove
~/.gambas/gambas-database-manager.conf before launching the new version.
20041226:
AFFECTS: users of Horde and the related ports (Turba, IMP, Nag, Kronolith,
Mnemo, Chora)
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
As of this update, the configuration files are generated by the application,
with no support for configuration files used in previous versions.
All data saved in the database, LDAP or MCAL backends will be preserved,
considering that you run specific scripts to migrate to this new scheme.
Affected ports are www/horde, mail/turba, deskutils/nag, deskutils/kronolith,
and deskutils/mnemo. See the UPGRADING documentation of the ports in question
for more details.
The filter system of IMP 3.x has been replaced by a separate application:
check the port mail/ingo. Ingo provides a script to migrate the existing
filter rules from IMP 3.x, see Ingo's documentation.
20041224:
AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server and graphics/dri
AUTHOR: lesi@FreeBSD.org
As of version 4.4.0_6, XFree86-4-Server now depends on
graphics/xfree86-dri. This is due to incompatibilities between
XFree86 and the new xorg 6.8.1 DRI.
Users of XFree86-4-Server are strongly encouraged to switch to
the xfree86-dri port as follows:
portupgrade -fo graphics/xfree86-dri graphics/dri
which will also fix dependencies.
20041224:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade and lang/ruby18
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
Please upgrade sysutils/portupgrade prior to lang/ruby18, or
pkgdb(1) may coredump with a double free() problem from a misuse (or
a "feature") of the DL module.
In that case, you can reinstall sysutils/portupgrade manually.
20041222:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav, security/clamav-devel
AUTHOR: jylefort@brutele.be
The ClamAV database path has changed from /usr/local/share/clamav to

20041221:
AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme03
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
security/gpgme03 has been modified to not conflicts with gpgme 1.x
After upgrade, you need to rebuild all ports that depend on it.
You should upgrade security/gpgme (if installed) to avoid nasty
compile time failures, due to original location of gpgme.h.
20041219:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/jdictionary
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The location for JDictionary port installed files has changed. This also

20041213:
AFFECTS: users of security/cryptplug, deskutils/kdepim3
AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
The cryptplug port is not compatible with recent versions of gpgme
and has been changed to depend on gpgme03 (the last version of gpg-
me compatible with cryptplug).
Users who have been using cryptplug in order to enable PGP/MIME support
in KMail should DEINSTALL BOTH cryptplug and gpgme03 before updating
KDE to version 3.3.2. Cryptplug is NOT necessary anymore to enable
PGP/MIME support in KMail and will cause the kdepim3 build to fail due
to conflicting dependencies.
20041213:

AUTHOR: lkoeller@FreeBSD.org
The port was split into a -server and -client component.
The -server part contains the storage and director daemon, the -client
part the console, file daemon and the documentation.
For migration delete the bacula port and install the -server and/or
-client port afterwards.
20041208:

You can redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null to quelch the warning.
The quirk may be fixed in a future version of getmail.
20041205:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
multimedia/ffmpeg will not work if previous versions of the port

this update. Therefore:
1) Remove old ffmpeg
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/ffmpeg*
2) Install updated ffmpeg
3) Rebuild all ports that depend on ffmpeg due to the shared
library version bump
cd /var/db/pkg && portupgrade -rf ffmpeg* -x ffmpeg*
20041202:
AFFECTS: users of any ports which have dependency on lang/python
AUTHOR: perky@FreeBSD.org
After upgrading of lang/python, you must rebuild all its consumer

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
portsdb(1) is part of the portupgrade suite and is used to convert a ports
INDEX file to a binary INDEX.db database. By default, it uses the
libc-builtin berkeley db to do so, which has a buggy btree implementation.
If you see errors like "[BUG] Segmentation fault" while a portsdb update is
in progress, adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf) to either bdb1_hash or dbm_hash.
This problem was fixed in 5.3-RELEASE, but users of 4.10-RELEASE and
5.2.1-RELEASE (and older releases) will find fixes by updating to the
latest (at least after Sep 20) of RELENG_4 or RELENG_5.

To do this, you will need to:
pkg_delete -f apache-mod_perl
pkg_delete -f p5-libapreq-static
portupgrade -rR bricolage
Bricolage will rebuild mod_perl, apache and libapreq using their standard
versions.
20041115:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
Due to the recent removal of INDEX and INDEX-5 from FreeBSD's CVS,
portupgrade with default configuration will run 'make index' if started
after cvsup'ing the ports-collection. This may take an undesirably long
time.
There are several ways to work around this, for example:
- Run 'make fetchindex' after cvsup'ing ports,
or:
- Adjust the PORTS_INDEX variable in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf (see portupgrade(1) or the default pkgtools.conf) to
a different value than the default.
Also remember that 'make index' is only supported on _complete_
ports-trees. If you are currently refusing whole categories by means
of a cvsup refuse file, use 'make fetchindex' instead (or consider
keeping an extra machine/jail with a complete ports-tree around to
do INDEX builds on).

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

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

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

AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
In KDE 3.3, a number of files were moved between ports and some ports
were removed. This means that you will have to take some precautions
to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work.
portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you
have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following
procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed
and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in
to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you
choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic
behavior and crashes from applications launched during the update.
1.) First, make sure your ports index is up to date:
cd /usr/ports && make index
or, if you're using the sysutils/portindex port:
portindex
2.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports:
pkg_deinstall -f kdeaddons-kontact-plugins-\* \
kdeaddons-kaddressbook-plugins-\* kdepim-\* kdeutils-\* \
kdeaddons-\[0-9\]\* kde-\[0-9\]\*
kdegraphics now conflicts with the kolourpaint package and kdeedu now
conflicts with the kwordquiz package. If you have kwordquiz and/or
kolourpaint installed on your system and you want to use the
kdegraphics/kdeedu ports, you should first deinstall the conflicting
packages:
pkg_deinstall -f kolourpaint\* kwordquiz\*
3.) Now update the remaining KDE ports:
portupgrade arts\* kde\* quanta\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
Note that the quanta port has been renamed to kdewebdev. The commands
above will automatically replace quanta with kdewebdev, if you have
quanta installed.
4.) Reinstall any KDE ports you deleted in step 2. Note that the kdeaddons-
kontact-plugins (net/kontact-plugins), kdepim-kpilot (palm/kpilot) and
quanta (www/quanta) ports/packages do not exist anymore and cannot be
reinstalled.
Known post-updating issues:
- If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update:
rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
Then log out of KDE and back in again.
- KMail has been heavily modified since KDE 3.2.x. Testing shows that KMail
can display erratic behavior and crashes after the update. If you see any
such behavior, it is recommended to simply close KMail and start it again
until it resumes normal operation.
The integration of GnuPG and KMail for signing, encrypting and verifying
PGP/MIME mail has also changed. A quick howto is available at
http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php.
- kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations
by running
genkdmconf
Make sure to backup your old kdmrc (usually found in
/usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an
invalid configuration.

AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org, mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. You should update everything
depending on perl, that is:
* first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation.
* run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.5.
* now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl,
that is run something like:
portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 | tail +4; \
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //') | sort -u`
This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them
afterwards.
Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary,
if you are upgrading from 5.8.4. But it is cleaner to do so anyway.

. ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained
in it didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has
always been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar.
. All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception

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

Note that when you want to upgrade openldap21{,sasl}-server, you have
to use slapcat/slapadd to migrate the database, since the internal

versions will be overwritten on upgrade. Users who have a
customized search.ini file that they would like to keep, should
edit its version number to 4 before upgrading. Note that you
have to edit the search.ini file located in the /.opera folder.

AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk-devel
AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Netatalk-devel has been converted to use RCng. That means all of the
netatalk daemons must be enabled in /etc/rc.conf before they will start
(previously, all netatalk daemons would start by default). The following
variables are used by the new netatalk.sh script:
atalkd_enable
cnid_metad_enable
papd_enable
afpd_enable
timelord_enable
See the netatalk.sh script for more details.

daapd_enable="YES"
20040626:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php4 and lang/php5 with the PDFlib extension
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The PDFlib extension has been removed from the archive and moved to PECL.
Consequently to enable it you have to install print/pecl-pdflib.
Alternatively you may want to try the experimental print/pecl-panda.
20040625:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/pure-ftpd
AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org
Pure-ftpd must be enabled in rc.conf now. Add this to your /etc/rc.conf:

20040622:
AFFECTS: users of net/openslp
AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org
The openslp port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf.
See the script for details.
20040619:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/webmin and sysutils/usermin
AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
The webmin and usermin ports must now be enabled in rc.conf.
See the pkg-message or script for details.
20040618:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-tetex
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The texmf.cnf file for pTeX is now installed in texmf/web2c-ptex.
20040618:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-pkfonts*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/ptex-pkfonts* has been removed because pkfonts are
already included in the teTeX distribution.
20040618:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/xdvik-vflib*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/xdvik-vflib no longer supports VFlib2, and now depends on
print/freetype2. For the configuration details, see vfontmap file which
installed as texmf/xdvi/vfontmap. japanese/kochi-ttfonts is used for
min and goth by default.
xdvik-vflib-pk* variants has been removed because pkfonts are already included
in the teTeX distribution.
20040618:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The print/teTeX has been split into print/teTeX-base and print/teTeX-texmf,
and print/teTeX is now a meta-port for the two and print/dvipsk-tetex and
print/xdvik. print/teTeX installs dvips and xdvi by default again (via
print/dvipsk-tetex and print/xdvik). For people who want to use teTeX,
simply install print/teTeX with options set by default.
print/teTeX-base has additional options for adding xdvi and dvips included
in the teTeX distribution itself, but use of them are not recommended if
you do not understand what you are trying to do. Especially, when the
options are set by yourself, do not install ports that match *xdvi* and
*dvips* because they break the installed print/teTeX-base's dviware
and such conflicts will not be detected. In most cases, a combination
of print/teTeX-base + print/dvipsk-tetex + print/xdvik (which are
installed by print/teTeX by default) will be sufficient.
20040615:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
The firefox-0.9 update has a special requirement before you can run it.
You must first run firefox as root before running it as another user.
The best way to do this is to su - to root or log
in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run
``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other
user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will
not appear.
20040608:
AFFECTS: users of net/haproxy
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
The haproxy port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf.
See the pkg-message or script for details.
20040605:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache2
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
The apache2 port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf.
See the pkg-message or script for details.
20040602:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org, marius@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel were merged into
sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-devel respectively.
To update them generate ("make index") or fetch ("make fetchindex") a
new INDEX/INDEX-5. Run "pkgdb -F" and unregister the mkisofs/-devel
port. Then forcefully update the cdrtools port and all of its
dependencies (e.g. "portupgrade -rf cdrtools"). After the update
it may be necessary to rerun "pkgdb -F" and resolve a stale
dependency to cdrtools.
20040531:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.4. you should update everything
depending on perl, that is:
* first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation.
* run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.4.
* now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl,
that is run something like:
portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.4 | tail +4; \
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //') | sort -u`
This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them
afterwards.
20040529:
AFFECTS: users of mail/mailman and japanese/mailman
AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org
In Mailman 2.1.5, some significant changes have been made to the
file formats for qfiles and the pendings database. See

NOPORTDOCS, refer to relevant file in the archive).
20040527:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22-client
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org

installed version of faad and reinstall it from the port.
20040512:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The print/teTeX no longer installs dvipsk by default. To build and
install dvipsk, you have to specify WITH_DVIPSK, or the dvipsk utility
in the print/teTeX is also available print/dvipsk-tetex separately.
This change is to resolve conflicts between various versions of dvips.
20040504:
AFFECTS: users of mail/drac
AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org
The "drac_flags" rc.conf(5) variable has been renamed to "dracd_flags".
See the pkg-message or script for details.
20040501:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache13
AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org
The apache13 port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf.
See the pkg-message or script for details.
20040429:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/smartmontools
AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org
The smartmontools port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in
rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details.
20040420:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cdrtools
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The cdrecord program now uses ${PREFIX}/etc (e.g. /usr/local/etc) instead
of /etc/default as the location of the global configuration file. If you
created such a configuration file you need to copy it over to the new
location.
20040420:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
If you update KDE from version 3.2.1 or earlier to version 3.2.2 while
running a KDE session, newly opened instances of Konqueror might hang
or crash, depending on how far the update has progressed.
If this happens, it is necessary to restart your KDE session in order to
restore proper operations.
20040404:
AFFECTS: GNOME desktop users
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
GNOME has been updated to 2.6. Simply portupgrading will cause serious
problems if you are using the desktop itself. If you are a GNOME desktop
user, you should carefully read the instructions at:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html
And use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to properly upgrade to GNOME 2.6. If
you are just a casual user of some of the GNOME libraries, portupgrade
should be sufficient to update your ports.
20040316:
AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-*
AUTHOR: des@FreeBSD.org
The isc-dhcp3-* ports must now be enabled/disabled and configured in
rc.conf. See the pkg-message for details.
20040313:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2
AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Users of expat2 (and its many dependencies) should do the following to
properly update expat2 and all of its dependencies:
portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2
20040311:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
PostgreSQL 7.4.2 released and release notes available at:
http://www.postgresql.org/news/173.html
NOTICE: unlike most minor versions, this version does require some
updates to the pg_* system tables. Full instructions for how to do
this are included in the full HISTORY file.
*** DO NOT UPGRADE WITHOUT READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS ***
20040309:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs3 and x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
If you update kdelibs from version 3.2.0 to version 3.2.1 while running
a KDE 3.2.0 session, newly opened instances of Konqueror will silently
crash as soon as the new version of kdelibs has been installed, due to
mismatching linker symbols.
It is recommended you quit your KDE session at that point and update
kdebase to version 3.2.1, then restart KDE.
20040309:
AFFECTS: users of audio/arts and x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The arts port, PORTVERSION 1.2.1 does not include artswrapper anymore.
Instead, artswrapper is now installed by a new port audio/artswrapper.
Installation of artswrapper is optional, however:
If you presently run KDE and you have "Run with the highest possible
priority (realtime priority)" checked in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/
Sound System and you choose to NOT install audio/artswrapper, you need to
- Uncheck "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)"
in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System BEFORE updating arts
OR:
- AFTER updating arts and kdebase, go to Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/
Sound System, click on the unchecked "Run with the highest possible priority
(realtime priority)", dismiss the message telling you that realtime is un-
available or artswrapper is missing and then click Apply.
20040305:
AFFECTS: users of security/antivir-milter
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
When updating from a previous version of security/antivir-milter you
have to do the following after deinstalling the old port:
rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir
rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir.vdf
chown root:wheel <PREFIX>/AntiVir
chown root:smmsp <PREFIX>/AntiVir/hbedv.key
In your SENDMAIL_MC, please change
`S=unix:<PREFIX>/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m'
to
`S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m'
and rebuild sendmail.cf.
If /var/spool/avmilter exists, you have to:
chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter
If you are using a customized <PREFIX>/etc/avmilter.conf, the port won't
remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User and Group to
smmsp there.
Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then should
run antivirupdater to get a current VDF.
20040226:
AFFECTS: i386 users of lang/ruby* and sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386.
If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default,
please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf.
Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to
ruby 1.8:
1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be
installed):
pkg_delete portupgrade-\*
(cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean)
2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8
instead:
portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16
3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks):
portupgrade -f lang/ruby18
4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia):
pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16
5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts
causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again.
Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade
and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and
reinstall portupgrade as a last resort.
20040204:
AFFECTS: 5.2-CURRENT users who started with a 5.2-RELEASE or older.
AUTHOR: obrien@FreeBSD.org
Change the default version of perl to 5.8.
1) Force perl-5.6.1 to be upgraded with perl-5.8:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.8 -f perl-5.6.1_15
2) Update all p5-* modules:
portupgrade -f p5-\*
