Raw Blame History

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.
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.

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
20041111:
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.
20041107:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org
To use GMail in konqueror, you need to set the browser identification for
gmail.google.com to 'Safari 1.2.3 on Mac OS X', otherwise you will not be
able to click on any links in GMail after logging in.
You can set site-specific browser identifications via the Settings menu in
Konqueror (Configure Konqueror/Browser Identification) or in the KDE Control
Center, Internet & Network/Web Browser/Browser Identification.
20041107:
AFFECTS: all users who have any GNOME libraries installed
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org and the rest of the FreeBSD/GNOME crew
Hey, 2.6! You don't have to be 2.6 anymore!
Do NOT use portupgrade(1) to update your GNOME 2.6 desktop to 2.8:
it won't work, and you'll have to recompile bunches of ports by hand
as a result. Use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to automate the upgrade
process. The script is available from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh
20041104:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav-devel
AUTHOR: rob@debank.tv
The configuration file was renamed from clamav.conf to clamd.conf,
make sure to move your configuration before restarting the server.
20041104:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/rskkserv
AUTHOR: rushani@FreeBSD.org
The format of PREFIX/etc/rskkserv.conf has changed in version 2.95.
Please update your configuration file before restarting the server
using PREFIX/share/examples/rskkserv/conf-o2n.rb and referring to
PREFIX/etc/rskkserv.conf.sample.
20041031:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql40-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf.
See the script for details.
20041028:
AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk
AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Please note that the handling of the default type/creator has changed with
2.0.1. As a side effect, users upgrading from earlier versions, including
2.0.0, will have to remove the default type/creator from the
AppleVolumes.System file. The install process will not modify this file
automatically. Please remove the line starting with '. "????"'
manually.
This text was taken from the Netatalk 2.0.1 release notes at
https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=278320.
20041027:
AFFECTS: users of games/pcgen
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The launcher script for PCGen has been renamed to 'pcgen' (formerly
'pcgen.sh').
20041024:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql50-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf.
See the script for details.
20041024:
AFFECTS: users of mail/popfile
AUTHOR: matusita@FreeBSD.org
Since there is a known problem that popfile doesn't work with SQLite 1.x
at this time, you'll be in trouble after upgrading databases/p5-DBD-SQLite
to the latest one. A workaround is commited to 0.22.0_1 which uses
databases/p5-DBD-SQLite2 by default. However, if already installed popfile,
please check ${HOME}/.popfile/popfile.cfg, and change the line
"bayes_dbconnect dbi:SQLite:dbname=$dbname" to
"bayes_dbconnect dbi:SQLite2:dbname=$dbname" then restart popfile.
20041023:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dbmail
AUTHOR: seanc@FreeBSD.org
When upgrading from 1.X to 2.X, read the upgrading instructions.
The structure of the database has changed, please use the migration
scripts provided. Many of the programs have been renamed and arguments
have been changed as well.
20041020:
AFFECTS: users of security/antivir-milter
AUTHOR: marius@FreeBSD.org
When updating from previous versions of security/antivir-milter to
antivir-milter-1.1 and you had changed PREFIX/etc/avmilter.conf you
have to bring over your changes to PREFIX/etc/avmilter/avmilter.conf
after installing the new version of this port. Note, however, that
some variables have been renamed.
If you used AntiVir Milter ignore, scan and/or warn files in /etc
you can now move them to PREFIX/etc/avmilter.
20041019:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql41-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf.
See the script for details.
20041018:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
The courier-imap port must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf.
See the script for details.
20041015
AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 with devel/apr
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS knob is no longer supported, since apr > 1.0
doesn't conflict with apache2's one. If you use apr 0.9.x you
won't be able to upgrade apache2 anymore.
20041014:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
The configruration file for the clamd daemon has changed from
/usr/local/etc/clamav.conf to /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf.
20041013:
AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail
AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org
If you are using a version of mail/getmail earlier than 4.x and
are planning to upgrade to 4.2.2, please note that the configuration file
syntax has changed and the existing configuration file(s) will not work.
Please refer to the online documentation available at:
(http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail-4/documentation.html)
If you already upgraded to the latest version of getmail, you can refer
to the installed documentation under:
${PREFIX}/share/docs/getmail
The 4.x branch of getmail also requires Python 2.3.3 or newer.
Some mail delivery agents require that the unixfrom parameter to be set to
either "true" or "false" in the configuration file.
A "quick and dirty" guide on setting up, configuring and using getmail is
available at:
(http://qnd-guides.net/qnd-getmail.html)
20041012:
AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce
AUTHOR: marshall@chezmarshall.com
Upgrading from 2003.2 to 2004.2 is straightforward, it is highly
recommended to checkpoint and backup your server as follows:
p4 verify //...
p4 verify -u //... # possibly redundant
p4 admin checkpoint
p4 admin stop
<backup repository>
If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 2003.2, you should
consult the Perforce documentation
(http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technical.html)
before proceeding.
Also, it looks as though Perforce has stopped updating the man pages,
so they are no longer included in the port.
20041012:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox
AUTHOR: freebsd-gnome@FreeBSD.org
After upgrading to firefox-1.0.1.p, certain things such as extension/theme
[de]installation, and "Find On Page" may no longer work. You may also
notice an infinite loop when starting Firefox. If this happens, backup
~/.mozilla/firefox/*/bookmarks.html, and remove ~/.mozilla/firefox.
Afterward, Firefox should start up. You can then restore the bookmarks.html
file to the new ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default directory.
20041012:
AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk
AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Netatalk has been upgraded to 2.0.0. There are some important
instructions for upgrading from 1.6.x. Please see
http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/2.0/htmldocs/upgrade.html on how
to make the transition.
20041011:
AFFECTS: users of www/linuxpluginwrapper who are running FreeBSD
5.3-BETA7 or later (including -current)
AUTHOR: nork@freebsd.org
According to UPDATING(20041001), /etc/libmap.conf should be fixed
libm.so.2 to libm.so.3.
20041001:
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.
20040903:
AFFECTS: users of net/kdenetwork3
AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org
The lanbrowsing facility of KDE has been removed from the main
kdenetwork3 port and is now available via the net/lanbrowsing
port.
20040901:
AFFECTS: users of www/squid
AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de
www/squid now installs an rcNG script by default. This means you
need to explicitly enable squid by setting squid_enable=yes in
/etc/rc.conf.
The squid.sh script uses the following variables:
squid_chdir
squid_flags
squid_user
Please see the squid.sh script for further details.
If you want to install an old style rc-script, build the port with
"WITHOUT_SQUID_RCNG=YES" or by rerunning "make config" and disabling this
option.
20040830:
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
behaviour 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 behaviour and crashes after the update. If you see any
such behaviour, 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.
- Extensive information about changes from KDE 3.2.x can be found at
http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_2_3to3_3.php
20040829:
AFFECTS: users of mail/mutt-devel
AUTHOR: udo.schweigert@siemens.com
The defaults of the port have been changed from WITH_MUTT_NCURSES to
WITH_MUTT_SLANG to be in sync with the mail/mutt port. If you really have
problems with slang (which should be a very rare case) be sure to have set
COLORTERM=yes and COLORFGBG="color1;color2" in your environment, or recompile
the port with the WITH_MUTT_NCURSES knob set (e.g. by adding
WITH_MUTT_NCURSES=yes to your /etc/make.conf).
20040828:
AFFECTS: users of security/samba-vscan
AUTHOR: jmelo@freebsdbrasil.com.br
The default location of the configuration files has been changed
from /etc/ to /usr/local/etc and from /etc/samba/ to
/usr/local/etc/samba-vscan/; the default location of the data files
has been changed from /var/run/clamd to /var/run/clamav/clamd and
from /var/opt/f-secure/fsav/databases to /var/db/fsav/databases.
20040820:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-tetex, japanese/xdvik, and japanese/dvipsk
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
japanese/ptex-tetex, japanese/xdvik, and japanese/dvipsk now
look for the texmf.cnf file in $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf first,
while some utilities included in the original teTeX distribution
such as kpsepath(1) look for the file in $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf
first. This is for separating the pTeX's texmf.cnf and
the original TeX's texmf.cnf, and you do not have to copy or
link the file $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf to $TEXMF/web2c/.
To lookup pTeX path by using kpsepath(1) and so on, please
set TEXMFCNF environment variable as described in
$TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf. For more detail, see
$TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf and $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf.
20040820:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/platex209-*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
japanese/platex209-* are renamed to japanese/platex209 and
now depend on japanese/ptex-tetex. While EUC-JP and JIS
encoding can be used by default, but Shift JIS is no longer
supported because it makes very difficult to maintain other
pTeX related ports. However, "ptex --kanji=sjis" still works,
so it can be used if all of macro files under share/texmf are
converted to Shift JIS encoding manually.
20040820:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/dvipsk-vflib
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
japanese/dvipsk-vflib has been removed because it is not maintained
for a long time. While japanese/dvipsk itself has no support to
rendering vector fonts, this and Ghostscript give almost the same
functionality.
20040820:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/xdvik-vflib
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
japanese/xdvik-vflib has been renamed to japanese/xdvik because
it has nothing to do with VFLib now. It depends on and uses
FreeType2 to render vector fonts.
20040817:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache2
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
Summary of recent changes:
- Access to filesystem is denied by default.
- mod_proxy* are no longer built by default
- Now ${PREFIX}/etc/apache2/Includes/*.conf can be used to store
local configuration or sample configurations.
- Makefile.modules.3rd contains modules selection for apache 2.x and 1.3.x
20040815:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22{,-sasl}-server
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
The start/stop script has moved to ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. Users on 5.x
who want to start the daemon early can set WITH_RCORDER=yes.
Setting WITH_ODBC_TYPE is not sufficient to enable SQL backend
support, WITH_ODBC=yes is required.
20040813:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 (kdm)
AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org
If you are unable to login to X via kdm after portupgrading to the latest
kdebase port and you're getting these or similar messages on the console
/kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[447]: Can't execute
"/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup": No such file or directory

please do the following:
1.) Copy /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc away to a safe place, for example
your home directory ( cp /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ~/ )
2.) Run, as root: genkdmconf --no-old
3.) Put your copy of kdmrc back to /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (cp
~/kdmrc /usr/local/share/config/kdm/ )
Optional step 4.) Run, as root: genkdmconf (without any options) to update
your kdmrc to the lastest configfile format
Note for advanced users: Substitute /usr/local with your custom PREFIX if
you're using one.
20040730:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
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.
20040726:
AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
The update to Ant 1.6.2 introduces the following changes which may break
older environments, according to the 1.6.2 release notes:
. The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This
has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505.
. ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained
in it didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has
always been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar.
. All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception
giving the location in the buildfile of the task.
. Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to
the Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.
. <junitreport> will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1.
20040724:
AFFECTS: users for xorg and GNOME
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
After migrating from XFree86 to X.Org, you must rebuild
x11-toolkits/libwnck and x11/libxklavier for full GNOME functionality
to be restored.
If you receive an XKB initialization error when starting GNOME, edit
your XF86Config or xorg.conf, and remove the line:
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
20040723:
AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of xorg
AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org
The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or
xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are
switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade:
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-*
cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install
pkgdb -F
Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process.
Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages:
cd /var/db/pkg
portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 imake-4*
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-libraries XFree86-libraries
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-clients XFree86-clients
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-manpages XFree86-manuals
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-documents XFree86-documents
portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype XFree86-fontScalable
portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-100dpi XFree86-font100dpi
portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-75dpi XFree86-font75dpi
portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-type1 XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps
portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-cyrillic XFree86-fontCyrillic
portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-encodings XFree86-fontEncodings
portupgrade -o x11-servers/xorg-server XFree86-Server
portupgrade -o x11/xorg -f XFree86
20040719:
AFFECTS: users of PHP
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been splitted 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 choosen 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".
20040717:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap21{,-sasl}-client
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do
portupgrade -rfo net/openldap22-client openldap-client
(or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to
upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=21' to /etc/make.conf
Note that when you want to upgrade openldap21{,sasl}-server, you have
to use slapcat/slapadd to migrate the database, since the internal
format is not binary compatible. Simply upgrading the server without
doing a slapcat first can corrupt your database.

AFFECTS: users of mail/exim on FreeBSD 5.x
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
The default location of the startup script has been changed to
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. When you depend on the previous behaviour,
build the port with WITH_RCORDER=yes.
Setting WITH_OPENLDAP_VER and WITH_MYSQL_VER do not automatically
imply the corresponding WITH_ varibale. The use of these options
is discouraged, use the global settings (WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and
DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER) to set system wide defaults.

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

AFFECTS: users of php4 and 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:

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.

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
afterward.

installed version of faad and reinstall from 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

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.

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/kdebase
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 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 exist 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 ruby and 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.
