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.
20150111:
AFFECTS: users of python3
AUTHOR: demon@FreeBSD.org
The default version of python3 has changed from 3.3 to 3.4.
If you wish to stick with older version, add "python3=3.3" to your
DEFAULT_VERSIONS variable in /etc/make.conf. To upgrade:
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o lang/python34 lang/python33
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o lang/python34 lang/python33
20150109:
AFFECTS: users of audio/speex
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
The audio/speex port has been updated to 1.2rc2 and one of the libraries
it installed has been split off into a new port audio/speexdsp. Before
you can update audio/speex you must first delete the old package using
"pkg del -f speex".
20150101:
AFFECTS: users of net/unison and net/unison-nox11
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Unison has been upgraded to version 2.48, which uses a different wire
protocol than 2.40 did. In order to support synchronization with
other computers where Unison is still at version 2.40, a new port
net/unison240 has been created. It provides unison240 and if that is
GTK2-enabled, also unison240-text. This unison240 port can be
installed in parallel with the existing net/unison port.
20141230:
AFFECTS: users of deskutils/xpad
AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org
deskutils/xpad has been moved to deskutils/xpad3, since 4.x has been around
for a while.
Should you wish to stick with legacy branch at this time;
# portmaster -o deskutils/xpad deskutils/xpad3
20141225:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/png
AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
The PNG library has been updated to version 1.6.16. Please rebuild all
ports that depend on it.
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -r png
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fr graphics/png
20141224:
AFFECTS: users of lang/neon29
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
The port www/neon29 was renamed to www/neon and updated to version 0.30.1
If you use pkg, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster, rebuild ports dependding on neon
# portmaster -o www/neon www/neon29
# portmaster -R -r neon
20141219:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg and all xorg ports
AUTHOR: dumbbell@FreeBSD.org
The X.Org server (x11-servers/xorg-server) is updated to 1.14. All
ports which provide X.Org drivers must be updated simultaneously, i.e.
x11-drivers/xf86-*, emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions, net/tigervnc,
etc.
The input device autodetection backend is switched from HAL to devd.
If you configure your keyboard layout through HAL .fdi files, you need
to migrate this configuration to plain X.Org configuration files.
Up-to-date instructions and a description of the changes brought by
this update are detailed in a blog post:
http://blogs.freebsdish.org/graphics/2014/11/19/xserver-1-14-update-ready/
20141219:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/xymon-server
AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
Xymon has been updated to 4.3.18. A major change is the replacement of
the individual cgi shell scripts with symlinks to a cgi program written
in C. This is to mitigate shellshock on Linux systems where the
/bin/sh -> /bin/bash. FreeBSD users were not exposed except in the
most unusual and unsupported circumstances. However, this is an
important update for security. This change could break your
configuration as Henrik describes here:
> NOTE: Replacing the shell script wrappers means that the cgioptions.cfg
> file is no longer processed as a shell script. The new wrapper works
> fine with the default version of cgioptions.cfg, but it you have
> modified it in a way that it relies on being processed by a shell, then
> it will break.
20141219:
AFFECTS: users of audio/abcde
AUTHOR: gblach@FreeBSD.org
In audio/abcde dependency has been changed from audio/py-eyed3-06
to audio/py-eyed3. Before updating audio/abcde to 2.6 you must manually
deinstall audio/py-eyed-06.
# pkg delete -f py\*-eyed3-06
20141218:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
OpenSSH 6.7 disables some insecure ciphers by default, such as arcfour
and blowfish. You may have clients using these over LAN where security is
considered less important for the connection. For these cases you may need
to update your Ciphers entry in your sshd_config to enable them again.
See http://mgalgs.github.io/2014/10/22/enable-arcfour-and-other-fast-ciphers-on-recent-versions-of-openssh.html
20141217:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Perl now links all .so it builds with libperl.so, it makes upgrading from one
Perl major version to another way easier. For binary package users, it means
pkg upgrade will detect the libperl.so.x.yy change, and reinstall the
affected packages. For users using ports, it will save rebuild time as it's
easier to detect what ports really need to be rebuilt.
Ports users are encouraged to rebuild ports that install files in SITE_ARCH.
If using Perl 5.18, run:
With portupgrade:
portupgrade -f `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u`
With portmaster:
portmaster `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u`
20141216:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable, security/openssh-portable66
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
All patches have been fixed for version 6.7. It is no longer required to use
the security/openssh-portable66 port.
The LPK option was removed from security/openssh-portable as it has been
deprecated since May 2013. Use AuthorizedKeysCommand as a replacement.
20141215:
AFFECTS: users of comms/spandsp-devel
AUTHOR: pawel@FreeBSD.org
comms/spandsp has been upgraded to version 0.0.6
comms/spandsp-devel is now deprecated and set for removal, all ports using
it were converted to use newer comms/spandsp. Before upgrade you must
remove comms/spandsp-devel so that ports can pick up new dependency.
# pkg delete -f spandsp-devel
20141215:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f10 and emulators/linux_base-c6
AUTHOR: sbruno@freebsd.org
The CentOS ports are now the default for stable/10 (after revision 275807).
See UPDATING entry 20141209 for details on migration of systems.
20141214:
AFFECTS: users of TeXLive
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
Several scripts in print/texlive-base have been moved to
devel/tex-kpathsea. Upgrading them can fail because texlive-base
depends on tex-kpathsea, and the new tex-kpathsea tries to install
files which were installed by the old texlive-base. The following
error message indicates this situation:
pkg-static: tex-kpathsea-6.2.0_1 conflicts with texlive-base-20140525_3 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/kpsewhere
To solve this problem, remove both of tex-kpathsea and texlive-base first
and install the new versions:
# pkg delete -f tex-kpathsea texlive-base
20141209:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f10 and emulators/linux_base-c6
AUTHOR: xmj@freebsd.org
The CentOS ports infrastructure has replaced Fedora 10 as default.
1. Please delete all remaining f10 ports/packages:
# pkg delete -f linux_base-f10 linux-f10-\*
2. Persistently update the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
This step is necessary on all FreeBSD versions, apart from 11.0-CURRENT
(after revision 271982).
3. Reinstall all software depending on Linux emulation.
As an example, reinstall linux-firefox:
# portmaster -r linux-firefox
or
# portupgrade -f www/linux-firefox
or
# pkg install linux-firefox
If difficulties are encountered, please follow the UPDATING entry 20140922
but skip step 2 (OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT and OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS
in /etc/make.conf). In case these steps do not fix the issues, please submit
an issue report in Bugzilla and send an email to FreeBSD's emulation@ mailing
list.
Users who need to continue using Fedora 10 base and userland should do the
following instead:
1. Add these lines to /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10
2. Downgrade the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf on FreeBSD versions
newer than and including 11.0-CURRENT (after revision 271982).
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
This is all that is needed to continue using an existing Fedora 10 Linux base
and userland.
20141208:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/poudriere, ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
8.4 jails created with Poudriere 3.1, or poudriere-devel-3.0.99.20141117
should be recreated with 'jail -d' and 'jail -c'. This fixes pkg(8)
crashes.
20141208:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|client)
AUTHOR: marino@FreeBSD.org
PostgreSQL version 9.3 is now the default. To upgrade from a version
lower than 9.3, follow the instructions on the PostgreSQL.org website.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/upgrading.html
Please note that the pg_upgrade program is installed by the
databases/postgresql93-contrib port
When using binary packages, if you only use the client port, you can
issue the following command to follow the default version:
# pkg set -o databases/postgresql92-client:databases/postgresql93-client
20141205:
AFFECTS: users of polish/kadu
AUTHOR: pawel@FreeBSD.org
Before running kadu 1.x for the first time upstream developers
advise to backup your ~/.kadu directory.
20141203:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/poudriere
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Poudriere has been updated to 3.1.0. See the release notes at
https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/wiki/release_notes_31 for
information on changed features and required setup.
20141130:
AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (close to everyone)
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
The devel/gettext port has been split up in devel/gettext-runtime, a
lightweight package containing runtime libraries, and devel/gettext-tools,
a package containing developer tools. The devel/gettext port still exists
as a metaport.
You must first delete the existing installation of gettext and then
reinstall it. This will break sudo, so you *must* do this in a root
shell (sudo -i) if you use sudo.
# pkg delete -f gettext
# portmaster devel/gettext
Or for portupgrade users:
# pkg delete -f gettext
# portinstall devel/gettext
Or for binary users:
# pkg delete -f gettext
# pkg upgrade
20141127:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
There was a nasty bug introduced in the update below, it was introduced in
SVN revision 373476 and corrected in 373485. If you get errors looking like
this one:
===> Registering installation for p5-Params-Util-1.07_1 as automatic
pkg-static: lstat(/usr/ports/devel/p5-Params-Util/work/stage/usr/local/./usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.16/auto/Params/Util/.packlist): No such file or directory
*** [fake-pkg] Error code 74
You will have to wipe your ports tree clean. If using portsnap, with:
portsnap extract
If using subversion:
svn revert -R
20141127:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The .packlist files are back, if you upgraded all your p5- ports yesterday
and need them, you will need to reinstall them again, see yesterday's update
for instructions.
20141126:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/x264
AUTHOR: xmj@FreeBSD.org
With the recent split of multimedia/x264 in library and binary and library
components, if an application that uses libx264 is updated before x264 itself,
multimedia/libx264 will conflict with the existing x264 package. Delete
this package before continuing any update that depends on it:
# pkg delete -f x264
Install the updated x264 and/or upgrade the other applications that
depend on libx264, such as ffmpeg.
20141126:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The directories where Perl modules are installed has changed. All
affected ports' PORTREVISION have been bumped, so upgrading should
be as painless as possible. The old directories have been kept in
the default Perl @INC to make it even more painless.
The default Perl has been switched to lang/perl5.18. These examples
are for switching from lang/perl5.16, if you are running a different
version, replace lang/perl5.16 with the origin of the Perl you have
installed.
Binary package users:
# pkg upgrade -f
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.18):
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.18 -f lang/perl5.16
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.18
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.18 lang/perl5.16
Conservative:
portmaster p5-
Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl5-
Note: If the "perl5-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify
the name of the installed Perl package explicitly. You can get its name
by running: pkg info perl5
20141125:
AFFECTS: users of EFL libraries
AUTHOR: gblach@FreeBSD.org
EFL libraries has been merged into one port. Before installing devel/efl
you must deinstall old EFL libraries:
# pkg delete -f eina eet evas evas-\* ecore\* eio efreet embryo edje \
ethumb emotion
# make -C /usr/ports/devel/efl install clean
20141125:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/e17-module*
AUTHOR: gblach@FreeBSD.org
Enlightenment has been updated to 0.19.1. Some of e-modules can't be build
with updated Enlightenment, these modules has been marked as broken.
E-modules which work with new Enlightenment has been renamed to
x11-wm/e-module-*. To update these modules you must call the following
commands (substituting the name of module in place *):
# portmaster -o x11-wm/e-module-* x11-wm/e17-module-*
# portmaster -o x11-wm/e-modules x11-wm/e17-modules
or
# portupgrade -fo x11-wm/e-module-* x11-wm/e17-module-*
# portupgrade -fo x11-wm/e-modules x11-wm/e17-modules
20141123:
AFFECTS: users of security/heimdal
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The header and library files have been moved from PREFIX/{include,lib} to
PREFIX/{include,lib}/heimdal at r373047 to fix a library dependency
confusion when software attempts to link a Heimdal library in base and
an external library in LOCALBASE/lib at the same time.
All of packages which depend on security/heimdal have to be recompiled
and reinstalled because of this library location change.
20141119:
AFFECTS: users of x11/gnome2, graphics/clutter and lang/vala
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
GNOME 3.14 was imported. Because this is a big change some manual help is
needed. Please use the following instructions to update.
Make a list of the installed ports:
# pkg info > ~/installed-ports-list
Delete the old and conflicting packages:
# pkg delete clutter gnome-utils gnome-panel gnome-keyring vala-vapigen \
guile gcalctool gnome-media libgnomekbd gnome-themes at-spi
# pkg delete gnome-screensaver gnome-applets bug-buddy \
evolution-exchange evolution-webcal gnome-system-tools \
seahorse-plugins gnome-control-center
For package users the following lines will be enough:
# pkg upgrade
# pkg install gnome3
For ports users should do the following:
# portmaster -a
# portmaster x11/gnome3
After these steps, check with the list we made earlier if your favorite
ports are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
20141117:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Most of the optional patches for OpenSSH do not apply to the 6.7 update yet.
The 6.6 version has been copied to security/openssh-portable66 if you require
the use of one of the optional ports.
20141109:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mediabrowser
AUTHOR: woodsb02@gmail.com
The default MediaBrowser database/configuration/logs/media metadata
storage directory has moved from /usr/local/mediabrowser to
/var/db/mediabrowser. Users are advised either to move the contents of
the old directory to the new location, or to add a mediabrowser_data_dir
entry to /etc/rc.conf.
20141029:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libvirt
AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org
Application state and resource information has been changed from older
path of /usr/local/var to /var. Users are advised to copy over contents
of old var directory to new location if they wish to preserve resources
from the old setup.
20141019:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kde4-runtime
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.14.2. Several files have been
moved between packages, therefore the following action is required
before running any pkg/port upgrade utility:
# pkg delete -f kde-runtime-4\*
20141008:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby19
AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 1.9 to 2.0.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 1.9 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 1.9 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=1.9
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkgng, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# portmaster -o lang/ruby20 lang/ruby19
# portmaster -R -r ruby-2.0
If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# pkg delete -f ruby ruby-iconv portupgrade
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade install clean
# pkg set -o lang/ruby19:lang/ruby20
# portupgrade -x ruby-2.0.\* -fr lang/ruby20
20141003:
AFFECTS: xorg users
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
The WITH_NEW_XORG setting has been activated by default on all versions
of FreeBSD, which allows us to have packages for xorg 1.12 and kde4.
Please be aware that on systems that only support syscons
switching virtual terminals or exiting X
results in a black screen or the last image of their desktop
(like a screenshot) being presented. Commands can still be typed blindly.
Most, if not all, systems should be using vt(4) and this can be enabled
by setting kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to activate.
20141001:
AFFECTS: xorg users
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
The WITH_NEW_XORG setting has been activated by default on FreeBSD 10.0
and above, which allows us to have packages for xorg 1.12 and kde4.
Please be aware that on systems that only support syscons
switching virtual terminals or exiting X
results in a black screen or the last image of their desktop
(like a screenshot) being presented. Commands can still be typed blindly.
Most, if not all, systems should be using vt(4) and this can be enabled
by setting kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to activate.
20140930:
AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Due to the way pkg works please note that the configuration
variables MAILDROP_SUID and MAILDROP_SGID, despite keeping their
old names, are now required to contain a valid username and
groupname existing on the system in which the package will be
installed, while in the past numeric uids and gids worked fine.
Wrong values will cause pkg to skip installing the setuid binaries
on the system.
Please check your configuration.
20140929:
AFFECTS: users of comms/usbmuxd
AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org
libusbmuxd.so was split from comms/usbmuxd into comms/libusbmuxd.
Remove usbmuxd before upgrading to avoid conflicts:
# pkg delete -f usbmuxd
If you need the daemon usbmuxd(1), you can reinstall the package
after the upgrade.
20140928:
AFFECTS: users of deskutils/calibre
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The dependency on graphics/py-imaging in calibre has been changed
to using the graphics/py-pillow port.
Due to this change automatic updating of the port will not work
correctly.
It is suggested to remove calibre and py-imaging from the system
and then reinstall calibre again using binary packages or ports.
20140927:
AFFECTS: users of net/foreman-proxy
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
In version 1.6 Foreman Smart Proxy splits its configuration into multiple
ruby files located in PREFIX/etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d.
The configuration of each service (dhcp, dhs, bmc, etc.) has been moved
into a dedicated file.
You can use a bundled script to convert your old settings to new settings:
PREFIX/share/foreman/extra/migrate_settings.rb
20140926:
AFFECTS: users of shells/bash
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Bash supports a feature of exporting functions in the environment with
export -f. Running bash with exported functions in the environment will
then import those functions into the environment of the script being ran.
This resulted in security issues CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169, commonly
known as "shellshock". It also can result in poorly written scripts being
tricked into running arbitrary commands.
To fully mitigate against this sort of attack we have applied a non-upstream
patch to disable this functionality by default. You can execute bash
with --import-functions to allow it to import functions from the
environment. The default can also be changed in the port by selecting the
IMPORTFUNCTIONS option.
20140926:
AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk and net/asterisk11
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The asterisk ports have been modified to have the LUA option
turned on by default to make such functionality available to users
of binary packages.
Some care should be taken before upgrading by people not using Lua
to avoid the sample extensions.lua file from being loaded on reload
after updating the asterisk port/pkg.
Users compiling from ports not interested in LUA support are advised
to disable the option before updating.
People using binary packages(or not wanting to disable the LUA
option in the port) not using the Lua functionality should add:
noload => pbx_lua.so
to the PREFIX/etc/asterisk/modules.conf file, if using the
autoload=yes option in that same file. People not autoloading
modules don't need to perform any special action.
If asterisk is rebooted and the pbx_lua module gets loaded on a
system were it should not, it will load the example extensions.lua
configuration file adding unexpected logic to your dialplan. In
such a case following the above steps and reloading asterisk will
fix the problem.
20140922:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f10 and emulators/linux_base-c6
AUTHOR: xmj@FreeBSD.org
The complete drop-in replacement linux-c6 port infrastructure is in
ports and will shortly replace the current linux-f10- ports as default.
To switch to the linux-c6 infrastructure:
0. Back up all your vital information!
1. Remove the current linux base port and all linux-f10- ports:
# pkg delete -f linux_base-f10 linux-f10-\*
2. Add these lines to /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6
3. Make sure no Linux application is running.
4. Update the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
Make it take effect immediately:
# sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
5. Install emulators/linux-c6.
These steps are usually sufficient. If there are difficulties, expand
step 1 to:
1a. Remove all ports which depend on the linux base port.
1b. Remove the linux base port.
1c. Clean the /compat/linux/ directory.
If there are any other difficulties not fixed by these extended steps,
please submit an issue report in Bugzilla and send an email to
FreeBSD's emulation@ mailing list.
20140909:
AFFECTS: users seeing build errors about missing *.la files
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
We are in the process of adjusting or, if possible, removing libtool archives
(*.la files) from all ports because they can otherwise cause overlinking
between packages. This is the problem where in the dependency chain A->B->C
an extra link is added from A to C even if A does not use C directly. This
makes some updates to port C expensive because then both A and B have to be
rebuilt instead of just B.
This is mostly behind the scenes work that you won't notice. In fact most
ports have already been converted. You may however run into build errors
about missing *.la files if a port update in the past went wrong and left
behind *.la files with references to other *.la files that are no longer
there. In this case, please run the following command:
find /usr/local/lib -name '*.la' | xargs grep -l 'libfoo\.la' | xargs pkg which
(Replace libfoo\.la with the *.la file that is missing.)
This command will print a list of *.la files that refer to the missing *.la
file and what package they belong to. First, where it says "not found in
the database", remove the *.la file. After removing all such files, where
it says "installed by package X", rebuild X. Eventually the list printed by
that command will be empty and the build error should be gone.
20140826:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/pkg, ports-mgmt/pkg-devel
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Pkg has been updated to 1.3.7. This fixes registration and tracking of
shared libraries. All earlier versions of Pkg incorrectly marked some
shared libraries and used the wrong name for some.
Please note announcement for special instructions at:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-announce/2014-August/000086.html
- Users need to run 'pkg update -f' and 'pkg check -Ba' after upgrading to
pkg-1.3.7 and before updating any other packages. This avoids needing to
reinstall anything not needed due to changed shlibs.
For binary package users:
# pkg install ports-mgmt/pkg
# pkg update -f
# pkg check -Ba
# pkg upgrade
For port users:
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg build deinstall install clean
# pkg check -Ba
- People building packages for serving to other systems need to rebuild
all packages with 1.3.7.

AFFECTS: users of graphics/libjpeg-turbo
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
libjpeg-turbo installs its own unique library (libturbojpeg.so) and
a drop-in replacement for libjpeg.so. The drop-in replacement has been
split off into graphics/jpeg-turbo; libjpeg-turbo now installs only
libturbojpeg.so.
If you were using the libjpeg.so from graphics/libjpeg-turbo, you
should install graphics/jpeg-turbo AFTER upgrading the libjpeg-turbo
port.
20140823:
AFFECTS: users of TeXLive
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
TeXLive in Ports Collection has been updated to TL2014.
When upgrading print/texlive-base on a system which has
TL2012 packages, the following error may occur:
pkg-static: texlive-base-20140525 conflicts with texlive-texmf-20120701_4
Please remove texlive-texmf-20120701_4 first in that case.
If you still get a similar "conflict of install files" error,
please remove all of tex-* and texlive-* packages and then
see if ${PREFIX}/share/texmf-dist directory are empty. If not,
installing TeXlive can fail. Removing files in the directory
manually will fix the installation problem.
20140821:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db4, databases/db4[1-7]*
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
HEADS UP: for some applications that store their data in Berkeley DB
databases, you may have to export the data before the upgrade and
reload it afterwards. Detailed instructions are at
<https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/BerkeleyDBCleanup>.
The older databases/db4* ports providing versions 4.0 to 4.7
inclusively have been removed, and 4.8 has been deprecated.
The default Berkeley DB version is now 5.3.
(6.x has a different license, but will be eligible as default on
systems that build ports from source and have db6 installed.)
All enabled and working ports have been changed such that they use
Berkeley DB 4.8 or newer, and an -exp run has been made.
After you have performed the first steps from the Wiki documentation,
and have arrived at a step that reads "build all applications", then
type as privileged user and without the hash sign:
# Tools/scripts/BDB-upgrade-helper.sh
The helper script requires that ports-mgmt/portmaster or
.../portupgrade is installed, will try to upgrade your applications
with either of these tools (portmaster preferred), and if that succeeds,
it will attempt to delete the packages if confirmed interactively.
20140815:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/ilmbase and graphics/OpenEXR
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The OpenEXR and ilmbase (Industrial Light and Magic) shared object
names have changed. You must rebuild all packages that require either
of these libraries, by using one of these commands:
# portmaster -r ilmbase -r OpenEXR
or
# portupgrade -fr graphics/ilmbase graphics/OpenEXR
The PORTREVISIONs of all ports that require ilmbase and/or OpenEXR
have been bumped.
20140810:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
7.8.3 and Haskell Platform to 2014.2.0.0. Hence it is recommended to
rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports and the lang/ghc port
itself by one of the following commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
If you use pkg(8) then it is just safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch.
Something alone these lines may work:
# pkg query "%ro" > ghc-pkgs.txt
# pkg delete -y lang/ghc
# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt | grep -Ev "/hs-(haskeline|terminfo|transformers|xhtml)"
20140803:

# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-client
# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-client-scep
# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-deployment
20140802:
AFFECTS: users of astro/stellarium
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org

over to `astro/stellarium-qt4' port.
20140731:
AFFECTS: users of www/ajaxplorer
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The ajaxplorer project was renamed to pydio.
Due to this update some manual steps will need to be performed
after updating the port.
IMPORTANT: Perform a backup of the ajaxplorer installation and
the databases backing it(if you're using that feature).
First manually remove the ajaxplorer port and install www/pydio
afterwards.
Further steps will be available in the pkg-message, which can
be shown with these commands:
# pkg info -D pydio
# pkg_info -D pydio
Please also read the upgrading notes at:
http://pyd.io/pydio-core-5.2.0#Upgrading

after updating if it contains custom settings.
20140725:
AFFECTS: users of cad/netgen
AUTHOR: stephen@FreeBSD.org
Before you update this port the old one should be removed. (This is
because the build may try to link to libraries that are in
${LOCALBASE}/lib rather than in ${WRKSRC}.)
20140724:
AFFECTS: users of dns/mydns-ng
AUTHOR: danilo@FreeBSD.org
The dns/mydns-ng port no longer has the suffix (-mysql|-pgsql). Before

20140714:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db6
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Oracle Berkeley DB 6 has been upgraded to version 6.1.19. Since the
previous 6.0 version, the log file format has changed in 6.1.
Depending on applications used, you may need to take action BEFORE you
upgrade. For details, please see the online upgrade manual at
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_04/html/upgrading/upgrade_process.html>
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_04/html/installation/upgrade_61_toc.html>
Note: if you've got Apache installed and depending on db6, you may
need to upgrade it separately BEFORE upgrading other ports, such as
Apache modules.
After that, you must rebuild all applications that link to db6 because
the shared library name has changed with the upgrade. To do that:
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -w -r db6-
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fr databases/db6
20140714:
AFFECTS: users of net/linphone-base
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

AFFECTS: users of comms/smstools3
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The smstools3 startup screen has been modified to allow smsd to
change uid/gid by itself. The rc options smsd_logfile, smsd_user
and smsd_group are not supported anymore, user, group and log
filename should be specified in the configuration file.
The sample configuration file has been updated to have defaults
equivalent to the old ones.
20140624:
AFFECTS: users of databases/p5-Bucardo
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The bucardo_ctl script has been renamed to bucardo, so, to follow the naming,
the bucardo_ctl_enable rc variable has been renamed to bucardo_enable.
20140622:
AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme
AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
If you have both security/gnupg AND security/gnupg1 installed, gpgme will
now automatically detect and use security/gnupg. Specifically, it will
search for gpgconf(1) first and use the paths for the binaries provided
by it. Failing that, it will search for a binary named "gpg".
It is no longer possible to specify the location of the gpg binary at
buildtime to differentiate between version 1.x and version 2.x. The port
options GNUPG1 and GNUPG2 now merely add their respective versions of gnupg
as build and runtime dependencies.
20140618:
AFFECTS: users of devel/m17n-* textproc/*m17n*
AUTHOR: Nikola Lecic <nikola.lecic@anthesphoria.net>
devel/m17n-db now incorporates a set of user-contributed input methods and
a conversion script, formerly available through textproc/m17n-contrib.
Delete textproc/m17n-contrib first and then update/install devel/m17n-db.
20140616:
AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion
AUTHOR: lev@FreeBSD.org
The subversion port has been overhauled. Some optional parts were extracted
into separate ports. These ports are:
www/mod_dav_svn
instead of option MOD_DAV_SVN.
security/subversion-gnome-keyring
instead of option GNOME_KEYRING.
security/subversion-kwallet
instead of option KDE_KWALLET.
If you used devel/subversion with one (or more) of these non-standard
options, you should install the appropriate port(s) after upgrading
subversion.
"mod_dontdothat" is installed unconditionally by www/mod_dav_svn port (it
depended on the TOOLS option before), but is not activated by default, you
may need to edit apache's configuration file.
The devel/subversion port now installs svndiff, svndiff3 and svndiff4
commands if TOOLS option is enabled. They was skipped before.
The official names "diff", "diff3" and "diff4" are prefixed with "svn" to
avoid conflicts with base and other diff versions.
All libraries and binaries are now stripped if the MAINTAINER_DEBUG
option is not selected (including all sub-ports, like bindings
and mod_dav_svn).
20140611:
AFFECTS: users of devel/icu
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portshaker
AUTHOR: romain@FreeBSD.org
ports-mgmt/portshaker was updated to avoid creating an aditional 'ports'
subdirectory when merging to a poudriere_tree without ZFS, so that
portshaker's default location matches poudriere's default location.
Users of poudriere on non-ZFS systems should not anymore have to pass extra
options to poudriere for it to find the ports tree.
20140506:
AFFECTS: users of security/yassl

AFFECTS: users of graphics/gdal
AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
Due to changes in header files, please deinstall gdal first while updating
from 1.9.x/1.10.x to 1.11.x.
20140420:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba4
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Samba4 port now re-uses the same logic and startup script as Samba41. So,
to get net/samba4 runing you need to rename samba4_enable in /etc/rc.conf
to the samba_sever_enable.
samba_server_enable="YES"
Startup script tries it's best to guess which out of samba/nmbd/smbd/winbindd
daemons have to be started, but you can fine tune this by specifying them in
rc.conf, just make sure that samba_server_enable is enabled(see entry for 20121022).
20140416:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg graphics/dri graphics/libGL and related ports
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD 10-STABLE and
FreeBSD 9-STABLE.
To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports, it is
necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports.
No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg ports but it is
necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports that
depend on the xserver version, including
emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Portrevisions have been bumped
where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will need to
recompile those.
If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to
specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg
distribution.
For users in need of working console when using KMS drivers (intel and
radeon graphics cards) please use the new vt(9) console driver.
For more information, see https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics and
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons .
To update:
# pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\*

AFFECTS: Users of dmd 1.X and dmd 2.x.
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
lang/dmd and lang/dmd2 have switched places. Dmd 1.x is no longer supported
by digitalmars.com and is now the secondary dmd port in the collection.
Dmd2 is the primary port. What this means to dmd users is that dmd1 is now
used to invoke dmd 1.x and the dmd command (instead of dmd2) now invokes
dmd 2.x.
20140413:
AFFECTS: Users of Python and pkg >= 1.2.7_1
AUTHOR: koobs@FreeBSD.org
There have been reports of the following error when upgrading Python ports:
pkg-static: Plist error, directory listed as a file: <name>.egg-info
The cause is an outdated or unpatched version of setuptools or distribute
installed by the user, or leftover from previous upgrades being used during
the `setup.py install` phase. pkg >= 1.2.7_1 now generates an error where
previously it did not.
Users should inspect their ${LOCALBASE}/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages
directory, and remove any entries that reference versions of
setuptools or distribute *not* provided by ports or packages.
Examples of entries that may be removed are:
1) distribute-0.6.35-py2.7.egg
2) setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
3) *Any* version of setuptools directly from PyPi via pip or easy_install

AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq
AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
This release changes the behaviour of the default "guest" user.
Previously the guest user could be accessed from any network
location. In RabbitMQ 3.3.0 and later, the guest user can only
be accessed via localhost by default.
Any other users you create will not (by default) be restricted
in this way.
See http://www.rabbitmq.com/access-control.html for more information.

2. Install/upgrade other cups* packages.
If cups-filters complains about a missing cups/raster.h include,
try reinstalling the cups-client package.
20140327:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php5 and lang/php55 with Apache module
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The Apache PHP module has been separated from the main PHP port.
If you had the APACHE OPTION selected, you have to perform the
following steps:
1) update your lang/php* options (i.e. 'make config')
2) rebuild lang/php* port
3) install www/mod_php* port
It is *mandatory* to build both ports with the same DEBUG and ZTS
options, so if you have a threaded Apache (i.e. worker or event MPM)
you have to select the ZTS option in lang/php* port.

AFFECTS: users of devel/py-setuptools dependent ports
AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
devel/py-setuptools is being used for every python ports (if USE_PYDISTUTILS
defined) since r336553. Due to PKGORIGIN limitation, we cannot build one
python port with python27 and the other with python33 since they require
different setuptools versions which have same PKGORIGIN. With the addition
of py-setuptools{27,32,33}, we could now have py27-foo and py33-bar coexist
in one system.
Note that this is only a short-term solution. It does not help if you need
coexistence of one port with different python versions, e.g. py27-foo and
py33-foo.
Please rebuild all ports that depend on devel/py-setuptools and use
devel/py-setuptools{27,32,33} instead.
XX represents python version (27, 32 or 33) in the following steps.
pkgng users:
# pkg set -o devel/py-setuptools:devel/py-setuptoolsXX
portmaster users:
# portmaster -o devel/py-setuptoolsXX devel/py-setuptools

KDE4_PREFIX has been changed from /usr/local/kde4 to /usr/local.
All ports that depends on kdehier4 must be reinstalled.
PORTREVISION for affected ports has been increased, upgrading tools
(portmaster, pkg) should handle this update without manual intervention.
Please check /usr/local/kde4 for leftovers after upgrade. If you don't

1) Update the origin to point to 5.16:
pkg set -o lang/perl5.12:lang/perl5.16
2) Upgrade perl and all dependencies:
pkg install -Rf lang/perl5.16
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16):
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f lang/perl5.12
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.16
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12
Conservative:
portmaster p5-
Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port specify the name of
the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly. Also, depending on when
perl 5.12 was installed last, the prefix may be perl-, perl5- or
perl5.12-.

20140113:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba41
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
With the introduction of Samba 4.1 corresponding port lost SWAT support
and made WINBIND support mandatory. As samba4 introduced additional 'samba'
daemon to the tripplet of nmbd/smbd/winbindd to avoid confusion startup
script for samba41 was renamed to 'samba_server'. To start the whole band
up it's enough to add to the rc.conf:
samba_server_enable="YES"
Startup script tries it's best to guess which out of samba/nmbd/smbd/winbindd
daemons have to be started, but you can fine tune this by specifying them in
rc.conf, just make sure that samba_server_enable is enabled(see entry for 20121022).
20140112:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libical
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
The libical port was updated to 1.0.0. Due to the shared library bump

Affected ports had their PORTREVISION bumped.
To reinstall these packages via the ports tree, it is needed to deinstall
them first (the build will fail if the `go` command detects that they
already exists in GOROOT).
If you are using these third party Go packages for local Go development,
you have to add this new path to your GOPATH environment variable.

AFFECTS: users of databases/ruby-bdb or ports-mgmt/portupgrade and databases/db5 or databases/db6
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
databases/db5 and databases/db6 have recently been updated to fix
bugs. This changed their patchlevel version.
However, ruby-bdb used to break during the db[56] upgrade due to a bug
described in <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=184921>.
THEREFORE, YOU MUST MANUALLY UPGRADE databases/ruby-bdb INDIVIDUALLY
TO 0.6.6_2 OR NEWER WHEN USING portupgrade AGAINST databases/db[56]
PORTS. To achieve that, type:
# portupgrade databases/ruby-bdb
or
# portmaster -x 'db*' databases/ruby-bdb
before proceeding with other upgrades.
Should you have corrupted the portupgrade databases, or if ruby-bdb
refuses to work with the upgraded db* port with errors such as "DB
needs compatible versions of libdb & db.h", then rebuild the ruby-bdb
port manually, and fix the portupgrade databases:
# make -C /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb all deinstall install clean
# pkgdb -fu
# portupgrade -f db5 db6
This should return portupgrade to normal operation.
20131216:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg, graphics/libGL, graphics/dri, all xorg ports
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD CURRENT.
To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports, it is
necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports.
No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg port but it is
necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports that
depend on the xserver version, including
emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Portrevisions have been bumped
where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will need to
recompile those.
If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to
specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg
distribution.
To update:
# pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\*
or
# pkg delete -f libGL dri
followed by
# portmaster graphics/dri graphics/libGL
or
# portupgrade graphics/dri graphics/libGL
and then
# portmaster -a
or
# portupgrade -a
20131216:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db4*
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Berkeley DB versions before and excluding 4.8 have been marked deprecated.
New port installations should be based on Berkeley DB 5 or 6.
Note that Oracle Berkeley DB 6 is under the more restrictive Affero GPL v3
license, be sure to review if using that fits your requirements.
You can add WITH_BDB_VER=5 or WITH_BDB_VER=6 to /etc/make.conf to have all
applications that get rebuilt use Oracle Berkeley DB 5 or 6, respectively.
DO NOT FORCE DELETE older BerkeleyDB packages, that breaks the upgrade
tools. Instead, first rebuild the ports that depend on it, then
remove the old Berkeley DB versions.
Berkeley DB ports should be able to build/install with an older and a
newer version version both installed if WITH_BDB_VER is set. If a
port then grabs the old Berkeley DB version, that is an issue with the
port that requires Berkeley DB, and should be reported to the
maintainer.
If you are interested in upgrading now already, we have instructions
at <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/BerkeleyDBCleanup>.

The THREADS option has been enabled by default in all Perl. If you're using
binary packages you need to do :
# pkg install -Rf perl5
If you're not using binary packages, and want to switch from non threaded
Perl to threaded Perl, you need to recompile and reinstall most ports
depending on Perl. Supposing you have Perl 5.16, you would do:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Change the option in lang/perl5.16:
make -C /usr/ports/lang/perl5.16 config
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.16
Portmaster users:
1) Change the option in lang/perl5.16:
make -C /usr/ports/lang/perl5.16 config
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portmaster -r perl5-
Note: The installed Perl package was named perl and is now named perl5, if
you have not updated your installation in a long time, you may need to
use "perl-" here.

AFFECTS: users of dns/nsd
AUTHOR: erwin@FreeBSD.org
dns/nsd was updated to the new 4.0.0 major release.
This version replaces the nsdc control program with nsd-control.
This requires some manual setup with nsd-control-setup and editing
of the config files. nsd-control is incompatible with nsdc so when
that is used in scripts, these should be adapted. More information:
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/svn/nsd/tags/NSD_4_0_0_REL/doc/NSD-4-features
NSD version 3 is still supported in dns/nsd3. To keep the old

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12 lang/perl5.14
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The default Perl has been switched to lang/perl5.16. These examples
are for switching from lang/perl5.14, if you are running another
version, replace lang/perl5.14 with the origin of the Perl you have
installed.
Pkgng users:
# pkg set -o lang/perl5.14:lang/perl5.16
# pkg install -Rf lang/perl5.16
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16):
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f lang/perl5.14
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.16
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.14
Conservative:
portmaster p5-
Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify
the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
New way to override the default version of a language in the ports
tree.
The make variable, DEFAULT_VERSIONS, allows users to override the
default version defined by the ports tree.
For example, to declare specific versions for Perl, Ruby and Tcl/Tk,
it would be defined as:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS= perl5=5.18 ruby=2.0 tcltk=8.6
Today, this only is supported by Perl, Ruby, and Tcl/Tk.

AFFECTS: 10-CURRENT users with any port depending on converters/libiconv
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
10-CURRENT after r254273 (committed on August 13, 2013) has an
implementation of iconv enabled by default in libc.
NOTE: after r341775 (committed on January 29, 2014) and other
following commits, a few ports, including devel/glib20, depend
on the converters/libiconv again due to missing functionality in the
base iconv implementation.
Due to this change some major overhauling of the ports tree has
been necessary to move the ports to using that implementation.
People using pkgng binary packages should have little problems,
"pkg upgrade" will update all software to not depend on libiconv
anymore, once updated packages are available. Please make sure to
perform a "pkg autoremove" after that and check that libiconv is
correctly removed by it.
If you are using ports the update requires some manual intervention.
The following procedure should be followed:
# pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update
# pkg delete -f libiconv
# cat ports_to_update | xargs portmaster
or:
# pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update
# pkg delete -f libiconv

of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same
time.
If you have lang/python2* or lang/python3* installed, please also install
the associated lang/python2 or lang/python3 port.
1. update lang/python2* and/or lang/python3*

AFFECTS: users of glib20
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
The devel/gio-fam-backend port was removed in the glib 2.36 update.
Since the gio-fam-backend port was used in USE_GNOME=glib20, all
dependencies need to be rebuilt. The removal of gio-fam-backend isn't
critical, glib20 using programs should work just fine if the port is still
installed. It is not clear however, if glib20 will use the new kqueue
backend or the old fam backend.
Note that users of pkg packages can just run the pkg delete command after
their next update.
# portmaster -r gio-fam-backend

(defaults to PREFIX/www/ajaxplorer) if you have customized them:
conf/bootstrap_conf.php
conf/bootstrap_context.php
conf/bootstrap_plugins.php
conf/bootstrap_repositories.php
and put them back after the upgrade.
If you are using a database backend you will need to manually

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The KDE Software Compilation 4.10.4 was committed a few days ago, and
version 4.10.5 was committed today.
They include better support for using clang as the compiler, but that
requires recompiling all KDE ports which depend on x11/kdelibs4. Most
ports which fall into this category are already part of the KDE Software
Compilation and have been updated to version 4.10.5, but those released
separately need to be rebuilt manually.
If you are building your KDE ports with clang, doing the following is
recommended:
# portmaster -r kdelibs-4\*
or
# portupgrade -fr x11/kdelibs4
or
# pkg install -fR x11/kdelibs4
Alternatively, to avoid rebuilding the ports which are part of the 4.10.5
update:
# portmaster -x \*-4.10.5\* -r kdelibs-4\*

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portmaster
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Since June 22nd, portmaster no longer relies on 'WITH_PKGNG' to be defined,
or ports to be checked out to enable pkgng support.
It now considers whether or not pkg is installed and registered with itself.
I.e., if this returns data, pkgng is considered in use:
# pkg info pkg
It's possible that you may have tested pkgng in the past, ran pkg2ng, and
never fully committed to it by setting WITH_PKGNG. If this is the case,
uninstall pkg with pkg_info/pkg_delete and also remove the stale database,
rm /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite.
This could manifest itself as portmaster -L showing the wrong versions, or
portmaster no longer detecting installed packages correctly.
Note that PORTS still require WITH_PKGNG=yes in make.conf if you are not
running CURRENT.

AFFECTS: users of net/samba36
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Samba has updated format of it's printing tdbs (ntprinting.tdb, ntforms.tdb,
ntdrivers.tdb) to include character encoding. When updating from Samba 3.5
or earlier to Samba 3.6 or 4.0 these tdbs need to be migrated to new registry
based printing management. This implies also character conversion.
You have to specify the correct code page for the conversion, see iconv -l.
The mostly used one is Windows Latin1 which is CP1252.
You can correctly view the tdb with:
# net printing dump encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb
or migrate it with e.g.:
# net printing migrate encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb
If you migrate printers it is suggest to do it in the following order:
ntforms.tdb
ntdrivers.tdb
ntprinting.tdb
Don't forget to rename, move or delete these files in /var/db/samba after
the migration.

AFFECTS: users of www/magento
AUTHOR: melvyn@magemana.nl
Magento has been updated to 1.7.0.2 on 2013-06-03. With it a stricter file
system policy is enforced on the port. If you (or your customer) rely heavily
on Magento Connect via the backend to install extensions, your quickfix is:
# chown -R www: ${PREFIX}/www/magento
# chmod -R u+w ${PREFIX}/www/magento
The more conservative approach:
# chown -R www: ${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/code/{local,community} \
${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/{design,locale} \
${PREFIX}/www/magento/{downloader,skin}
# chmod -R u+w ${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/code/{local,community} \
${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/{design,locale} \
${PREFIX}/www/magento/{downloader,skin}
The conservative approach will alert you to extensions that try to write in
Magento core, while allowing clean extensions to install properly (corner
cases may exist).

AFFECTS: users who set port options in make.conf
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
Configuring options in make.conf using variables like OPTIONS_SET and
OPTIONS_UNSET now also suppresses the option dialog for those options.
This means that when building a port the option dialog will only appear if
there are truly new options that have not been configured before using either
the dialog or make.conf. This allows you to set options like DOCS, NLS,
X11, etc. once for all ports and not have option dialogs pop up if those are
the only options. For a list of variables you can set in make.conf to
control options see Mk/bsd.options.mk.

This is the first stable release based on Lucene 4. We recommend testing
the upgrade before doing it in production.
Upgrading from 0.20 requires a full cluster restart.
In order to be able to downgrade, stop indexing new data, issue a flush
request, do the upgrade and only enable indexing of new data once you
are certain that you no longer need to downgrade. Once new data has
been indexed, downgrading is no longer possible. To be extra safe, back
up your data before upgrading.

AFFECTS: users of net/activemq
AUTHOR: tj@FreeBSD.org
The JVM used by activemq has changed to OpenJDK 7. You will need to
make sure javavmwrapper is configured to use the installed
java/openjdk7 JVM.
20130512:
AFFECTS: users of devel/hs-git-annex
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
On FreeBSD, git-annex incorrectly calculated SHA256 hashes for files
added to the annex repository due to the BSD-style output of
/sbin/sha256. The result of this is silent data corruption.
This problem has been fixed, but every file stored in an annex
repository will fail a `git-annex fsck` after the upgrade. Thus,
before updating, it is wise to issue the command below and restore the
files.
$ git-annex uninit
Corruptions can then be found by finding all files with the same hash.
Note that only files that were mishashed to the same location are a
problem.
20130511:
AFFECTS: users of TeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
One can now choose TeXLive or teTeX by using TEX_DEFAULT.
Specifying TEX_DEFAULT=texlive, almost all of ports which use TeX
will install and depend on TeXLive-based ones. Note that the
default value is still "tetex" and the two cannot coexist. You need
to remove all of the TeX-related packages based on teTeX to try
TeXLive.
20130507:
AFFECTS: users of comms/usbmuxd or comms/libimobiledevice
AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org
libusbmuxd and libimobiledevice versions have changed. Please, rebuild
all the ports that depend on them:
# portmaster -r usbmuxd
or
# portupgrade -fr comms/usbmuxd
or
# pkg install -fR comms/usbmuxd
20130507:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libplist
AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org
libplist Python bindings were split from the main port. To get them you
need to install devel/py-libplist.
20130506:
AFFECTS: users of TeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
TeXLive ports have been imported. Although most of ports still depend
on teTeX at this moment, they will be converted to use TeXLive.
The directory layout of them is as follows. Please use print/texlive-full
if you are not familiar with how each component works. Finer-grained
ports will be added (specifically, meta ports for smaller installation
and so on). Note that the full installation needs around 3GB of disk space.
teTeX-based ports and TeXLive are mutually exclusive. This means TeXLive
ports cannot be installed when teTeX is already installed. You need
to remove all of the TeX-related packages based on teTeX to try TeXLive.
Migration procedure will be announced when conversion of the port
dependency is completed.
* Meta port
- print/texlive-full: meta port to install all of the TeXLive components
* Libraries
- devel/tex-kpathsea: kpathsea library
- devel/tex-web2c: WEB2C toolchain and TeX engines
- print/tex-ptexenc: character code conversion library for pTeX
* Base part of the TeXLive
- print/texlive-base: binary programs in TeXLive
- print/texlive-texmf: macro and font data in TeXLive
- print/texlive-infra: tlmgr dependency (Perl modules)
- print/tex-formats:
* TeX Formats
- print/tex-formats: TeX, LaTeX, PDFTeX, AMSTeX, ConTeXT, CSLaTeX,
EplainTeX, METAFONT, MLTeX, PDFTeX, TeXsis
- print/tex-aleph: Aleph/Lambda
- print/tex-xetex: XeTeX
- print/tex-luatex: LuaTeX
- print/tex-jadetex: JadeTeX
- print/tex-xmltex: XMLTeX
- japanese/tex-ptex: pTeX
* DVI ware
- print/tex-xdvik: XDvi
20130503:
AFFECTS: users of security/libgcrypt and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
The libgcrypt port has been updated to 1.5.2 and all shared libraries
versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that
depend on libgcrypt. Do something like:
# portmaster -r libgcrypt
or
# portupgrade -rf libgcrypt
Alternatively, you may install sysutils/bsdadminscripts, run pkg_libchk and
rebuild all detected ports:
# pkg_libchk | tee /tmp/rebuild
# awk -F':' '/libgcrypt.so/ {print $1}' /tmp/rebuild | sort | uniq \
| xargs portmaster -D
20130502:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/pkg, ports-mgmt/poudriere, ports-mgmt/tinderbox
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
This only affects people who are _building_ binary packages for pkgng. If you
are building from ports please ignore this. This step is optional.
It is recommended to rebuild all packages and then have your users run 'pkg
check -Ba' and 'pkg upgrade' on their servers once. This will allow the new
shlib tracking to reinstall packages that have changed shlib requirements.

AFFECTS: users of print/a2ps-{a4,letter}, print/c2ps-{a4,letter}, print/lprps-{a4,letter}, or graphics/jpeg2ps-{a4,letter}
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The affected ports have been converted to use libpaper for the default paper
size as print/psutils did. For more detail, see 20130424 below.
20130424:
AFFECTS: users of print/psutils-a4 or print/psutils-letter
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/psutils-a4 and print/psutils-letter have been merged into a single port
print/psutils. The default paper size in psnup(1), psresize(1), and
pstops(1) is now selected via an environment variable and/or a configuration
file of libpaper(3). For more detail, see papersize(5) and paperconfig(8)
manual page. If you prefer A4 or letter size by default as the old
version did, please install print/papersize-default-a4 or
print/papersize-default-letter, which installs a papersize configuration
file without manual configuration.

AFFECTS: users of */hs-*
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Due to some unexpected dynamic linking problems, Haskell Cabal ports with
binaries that link to their own libraries may not work. With default
configuration, the following ports are known to have this problem:
Agda, BNFC, pandoc, and uuagc. (Their port revision are now bumped.)
In general, it is recommended to rebuild the port if you are
experiencing that the corresponding binary will not start, e.g.:
% agda
Shared object "libHSAgda-2.3.2-ghc7.4.2.so" not found, required by "agda"

20130218:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba4-devel
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
The port was renamed into net/samba4 and is going to replace older
development version of Samba4. You can upgrade it with:
# portmaster -o net/samba4 net/samba4-devel
In case you want to upgrade from net/samba36 make sure, that you've
made backup of /usr/local/etc/smb.conf and the content of /var/db/samba/
directory.
There is no direct upgrade path from Samba3 to Samba4, but you can
always try:
# portmaster -o net/samba4 net/samba36
Make sure you've read instructions from the supplied README.FreeBSD
file and read all the relevant pages on http://wiki.samba.org/
We still miss necessary support for Samba4 from base ntpd and bind9,
port versions are also are not ready yet, but been worked on.
Please note, that Samba4 is still in it's early days, so there are
bugs both from my side and it's own, so be careful with placing it
into production.

AFFECTS: users of devel/libvanessa_socket, mail/perdition
AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
The update of devel/libvanessa_socket to 0.0.12 (used by Perdition)
adds IPv6 support. If the hostname in bind_address has both IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses in DNS, then Perdition will ONLY listen on IPv6.
If you prefer to continue to use IPv4, you need to change the
bind_address in /usr/local/etc/perdition/perdition.conf to use an
explicit IPv4 address. This can be in addition to, or instead of,
the current hostname, depending on whether you want to use IPv6 or
not. If your Perdition server does not have an IPv6 address
listed in DNS, this change does not affect you.
20130108:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cfengine*
AUTHOR: gjb@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/cfengine has been created as a master port for the set of
sysutils/cfengine* ports. Users interested in tracking the latest
stable branch of cfengine should update their port origins to use
the new port, for example:
# portmaster -o sysutils/cfengine sysutils/cfengine33
or
# portupgrade -fo sysutils/cfengine sysutils/cfengine33
or
# pkg set -o sysutils/cfengine33:sysutils/cfengine
Users that switch their port origin and later wish to remain on
a particular cfengine release can override the default version by
adding CFENGINE_VERSION to /etc/make.conf, where CFENGINE_VERSION
is a value from:
# make -V VERSIONS
20130103:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/docproj*
AUTHOR: doceng@FreeBSD.org
textproc/docproj no longer requires WITH_JADETEX to be set to 'yes' or
'no', and by default, will enable the JADETEX dependencies.
The textproc/docproj-jadetex port has been removed as a result of this
change.
Users that have installed textproc/docproj and have set
WITH_JADETEX=no during compile time should update the package origin
to use textproc/docproj-nojadetex:
# portmaster -o textproc/docproj textproc/docproj-nojadetex
or
# portupgrade -fo textproc/docproj textproc/docproj-nojadetex
or
# pkg set -o textproc/docproj-nojadetex:textproc/docproj
Users that have installed textproc/docproj-jadetex should update the

AFFECTS: users of audio/baresip
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
Baresip is tightly linked to the versions of audio/re and audio/rem, and
will not build against different versions.

AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose
AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org
VirtualBox has been updated and does now depend on devel/kBuild instead
of devel/kBuild-devel. Both are in conflict with each other so this has
to be resolved manually. kBuild is only a build dependency so it is safe
to remove installed kBuild before updating.

AFFECTS: users of audio/libogg
AUTHOR: naddy@FreeBSD.org
There is a new version of libogg (1.3.0) and the shared library version
has been bumped (ogg.7 to ogg.8). All ports that have an identifiable
direct dependency on this library have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped.
However, some ports that pull in the library indirectly may continue to
look for the old version. To ensure that all are updated, perform this
step:
# portmaster -r libogg
or
# portupgrade -rf libogg
20120717:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The options of ProFTPD have been made much more user-friendly.
As the modules are all shared libraries, all possible modules are built
and installed. The following modules are now in separate slave ports:
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_odbc: mod_sql_odbc
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_sqlite: mod_sql_sqlite
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_tds: mod_sql_tds

AFFECTS: users of math/metis
AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org
The older version of metis has been moved to math/metis4, and
math/metis has been updated to 5.0.2. Dependent ports still use
the old API, and the different versions of metis cannot coexist, so
most users should update with:
# portmaster -o math/metis4 math/metis
# portmaster -r math/metis4
or the equivalent.
20120702:
AFFECTS: users of databases/couchdb
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org, Adam Strohl <adams-ports@ateamsystems.com>
The couchdb port has an unfortunate side effect; versions before 1.2.0
will clobber local.ini. The port will refuse to build if that file is
present and an earlier version is installed, however no such protection
can be afforded to package installation.
To upgrade from 1.1.0 and earlier, simply move PREFIX/etc/couchdb/local.ini
out of the way until the upgrade is complete.
20120702:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/mikutter
AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org
The net-im/mikutter has been updated to 0.1.1.810 which is required
Ruby 1.9.2 or later. Before upgrading this port, please see the entry
20110822 in this file to upgrade Ruby to 1.9.
If you want to stay with 0.0.3 (requires Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.2 or later),
please run the following command:
# portmaster -o net-im/mikutter003 net-im/mikutter
or
# portupgrade -o net-im/mikutter003 net-im/mikutter
20120630:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.16 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.12, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f perl-5.12.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12
Conservative:
portmaster p5-
Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.
The default version for Perl has also been changed from 5.12 to 5.14.
20120623:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xfce4-utils
AUTHOR: xfce@FreeBSD.org
The port has been discontinued, and installs files that conflict with

20120618:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db5
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The databases/db5 port has been upgraded to BerkeleyDB 5.3. This
entails a shared library bump.
Before upgrading this port, check if your applications use
transactional data bases, and if they do, prepare them for a log file
format upgrade. YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE YOU UPGRADE THE DB5 PORT! See:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/upgrading/upgrade_process.html
All packages that depend on db5 need to be rebuilt due to the shared
library version change. The full changelog is at
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/berkeleydb/html/changelog_5_3.html
To upgrade the packages that need Berkeley DB 5, please
issue one of the following commands (depending on your preferred tool):
# portmaster -r db5-5
or
# portupgrade -fr databases/db5
20120616:
AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The lighttpd startup script has been changed and is now compatible to the
apache startup script. The "reload" subcommand now sends a SIGHUP to the
process and triggers cycling of log files. The new command "graceful"
performs a graceful restart (similar to former "reload") and "gracefulstop"
performs a graceful stop. The "check" command has been replaced with
the "configtest" command.
20120615:
AFFECTS: users of databases/akonadi
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The latest Akonadi update includes critical bug fixes. Manual
intervention is required for people using local MySQL database (the
default configuration) as backend:
$ akonadictl stop
Wait a bit, and make sure that akonadiserver and akonadi_control are
not running. Kill them if needed. Then, you have two alternatives:
$ mysql_install_db --force \
--defaults-file=~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf \
--datadir=~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data \
--basedir=$(dirname `dirname $(which mysql_install_db)`)
$ rm ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf
...or...
$ rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi
In the latter case, Akonadi will have to recache your personal data
(might take a while). Akonadi is only a cache, no data will be lost.
Then:
$ akonadictl start
20120613:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/djvulibre and graphics/djvulibre-nox11
AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org
DjVuLibre been updated to 3.5.25.3. The Qt 3.x GUI support that was in
graphics/djvulibre has been removed (users of this GUI should consider
switching to the new Qt 4.x GUI in graphics/djview4), and
graphics/djvulibre-nox11 has been merged back into graphics/djvulibre.
To update DjVuLibre, you can use:
# pkg_delete djvulibre-\?.\*
# portmaster -o graphics/djvulibre djvulibre-nox11
You should then update any installed ports that link to the djvulibre shared
library: converters/pdf2djvu, graphics/djview4, graphics/okular, and --
if optional djvulibre support was enabled -- graphics/ImageMagick,
graphics/apvlv, and graphics/evince.

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql*-server
AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org
Affected users are those who use the crypt(text, text) function with
DES encryption in the optional pg_crypto module. Passwords affected
are those that contain characters that cannot be represented with
7-bit ASCII. If a password contains a character that has the most
significant bit set (0x80), and DES encryption is used, that character
and all characters after it will be ignored.
20120530:
AFFECTS: users of net/nss-pam-ldapd
AUTHOR: scheidell@FreeBSD.org
The net/nss-pam-ldapd port no longer provides an option for SASL. This has
been sourced out to the new net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl port, to accommodate
users using packages (see ports/162240). Users with openldap-sasl-client
installed are encouraged to change the port's origin to:
net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl using their favorite ports management tool.
Example for portmaster:
portmaster -o net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl nss-pam-ldapd
20120527:

AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
p5-XML-SAX (X-S) was split into p5-XML-SAX-Base (X-S-B) and p5-XML-SAX for
version 0.99. Since X-S-B now installs some files formerly installed by X-S
the package for X-S must be deinstalled before updating X-S.
# pkg_delete -fx p5-XML-SAX
# portmaster textproc/p5-XML-SAX
(users of pkgng can substitute pkg_delete with pkg delete)
20120511:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/xpdf
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
In order to allow graphics/xpdf and graphics/poppler-utils to coexist,
graphics/xpdf binaries have been moved from ${LOCALBASE}/bin to
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf. The symlink ${LOCALBASE}/bin/xpdf points to
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf/xpdf. However the other utilities installed by
the xpdf port conflict with poppler-utils, no symlinks are maintained.
Applicaions and scripts which use the pdf* utilities provided by
graphics/xpdf must reference them using their new location, specify
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf in $PATH, or use the same utilities provided by
graphics/poppler-utils.

20120430:
AFFECTS: users of www/py-google-api-python-client
AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to 1.0.b8. This new version has important
changes which might break your code:
* apiclient.anyjson has moved to oauth2client.anyjson.
* Some calls, for example, taskqueue().lease() used to require
a parameter named body. In this new release only methods that
really need to send a body require a body parameter, and so
you may get errors about an unknown 'body' parameter in your call.
The solution is to remove the unneeded body={} parameter
See http://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/wiki/PyDoc for
more information.

AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: Sahil Tandon <sahil@FreeBSD.org>
Postfix 2.9.0 contains several major changes, some of which could
result in incompatible or unexpected behavior. Regardless of the
version from which you are upgrading, please carefully review the
RELEASE_NOTES before proceeding.
20120126:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd and ftp/proftpd-mysql
AUTHOR: Martin Matuska <mm@FreeBSD.org>
The proftpd port has been updated to 1.3.4 and changed to use
dynamically loadable modules. Please add corresponding LoadModule
directives to your configuration file, like in the following example:
LoadModule mod_tls.c
The modules mod_sql_mysql and mod_sql_postgres are now outside of the
main proftpd port:
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_mysql
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_postgres
The proftpd-mysql port has been removed, use the alternative port:
databases/proftpd-mod_sql_mysql
20120121:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/vdr
AUTHOR: Juergen Lock <nox@FreeBSD.org>
The vdr ports have been updated to 1.7.22 which involves at least
two changes:
- svdrpsend.pl is now called svdrpsend.
- The ttxtsubs channels.conf format has changed so if you use that
plugin you need to edit /usr/local/etc/vdr/channels.conf for the
channels you want to receive teletext subtitles on - see:
/usr/local/share/doc/vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs/HISTORY
20120116:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current
AUTHOR: Sahil Tandon <sahil@FreeBSD.org>
From the upstream RELEASE_NOTES:
Instead of terminating immediately with a "fatal" message when a
database file can't be opened, a Postfix daemon program now logs
an "error" message, and continues execution with reduced
functionality.
Specify "daemon_table_open_error_is_fatal = yes" to get the
historical behavior (immediate termination with "fatal" message).
Logfile-based alerting systems may need to be updated to look for
"error" messages in addition to "fatal" messages.
By default the Postfix SMTP server no longer reports transcripts
of sessions where a client command is rejected because a table is
unavailable. To receive such reports, add the new "data" class to
the notify_classes parameter value. The reports will be sent to the
error_notice_recipient address as before. This class is also used
by the Postfix SMTP client to report about sessions that fail
because a table is unavailable.
20120116:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xcb-util
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
x11/xcb-util was updated to 0.3.8 and was split in new modules.
Dependencies were adjusted but main port symbols were moved to a single
library, xcb-util.so. For this reason, all dependent ports must be
recompiled.If you use portmaster, run:
# portmaster -R -r xcb-util-0
Or for portupgrade:
# portupgrade -r xcb-util-0\*

The new versions of flpsed and dillo have switched from
x11-toolkits/fltk2 to the new fltk 1.3.0 from x11-toolkits/fltk.
Users who have customizations specific to fltk2 may need to consult
the fltk 1.3 documents in order to adjust their local settings. For
dillo, some commonly-used key bindings have changed, and new
configuration options are available: consult dillorc.dist and
keysrc.dist for details.
20111019:
AFFECTS: users of mail/thunderbird or www/seamonkey with lightning
plugin installed.
AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
To get an up to date version of lightning you should use the new
LIGHTNING option in mail/thunderbird or www/seamonkey. This option
is not enabled by default so you have to run "make config" prior
to the build. The old deskutils/lightning-thunderbird and
deskutils/lightning ports should no longer be used and will be
removed very soon.
Like other XPIs ports, lightning now registers itself as a global
extension and doesn't create the XPI to be installed manually.
Upgrading users should remove lightning from their profile before
installing Thunderbird or SeaMonkey the first time with the new
LIGHTNING option enabled.
20111018:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current
AUTHOR: Sahil Tandon <sahil@FreeBSD.org>
The default smtp_address_preference value is now "any" instead
of "ipv6", meaning choose randomly between IPv6 and IPv4. With
this the Postfix SMTP client will have more success delivering
mail to sites that have problematic IPv6 configurations.
20111016:
AFFECTS: users of devel/p5-subversion-freebsd
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
devel/p5-subversion-freebsd has been removed as it is no longer necessary.

portmaster -o devel/p5-subversion p5-subversion-freebsd
Please also see the second entry below (20111016) if haven't upgraded
subversion yet.
20111016:
AFFECTS: users of KDE SC 4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE SC has been updated to 4.7.2. A number of files were moved between
packages and several ports were split, thus manual intervention into
update procedure is required:
# pkg_delete -f raptor-1\* kdelibs-4\* kdebase-\*4\* \
kdeaccessibility-4\* kdeedu-4\* kdegames-4\* kdegraphics-4\* \
kdesdk-4\* kdeutils-4\* konq-plugins-4\* ktts\* nepomukcontroller\* \
ruby\*-kdebindings\* kdebindings-smoke\*
# pkg_delete -f kdehier4\*
# mv /usr/local/kde4/etc/pam.d/* \
/usr/local/etc/pam.d/
# mv /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d/* \
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/
# mv /usr/local/kde4/share/dbus-1/services/* \
/usr/local/share/dbus-1/services/
# mv /usr/local/kde4/share/dbus-1/system-services/* \
/usr/local/share/dbus-1/system-services/
# rmdir /usr/local/kde4/etc/pam.d /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d \
/usr/local/kde4/share/dbus-1/*services
# rm -r /var/tmp/kdecache-*
# portmaster misc/kdehier4
If you have - or plan to install - net/kdenetwork4, also run:
# portmaster -o net/linphone-base ortp
Finally:
# portmaster -a
Also, remove /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d from local_startup in rc.conf(5).
Failure to do this will cause all enabled scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
to be started twice.
Remember to check for missing ports, bearing in mind that x11/kdebase4*
ports were replaced by x11/kde4-* ones, ktts was replaced by jovie, while
konq-plugins-kde4 and nepomukcontroller were removed. Then:
# portmaster --check-depends
You're also encouraged to run `pkg_cutleaves` or similar to check for
orphaned ports.
Please, note that `pkg_add -r kde4` will not install Plasma scriptengines
and printer utilities by default anymore, and `pkg_add -r kdegames4` will
not install Kajongg. This was made to avoid depending by default on
kdebindings.
20111016:
AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion, devel/subversion-freebsd,
devel/p5-subversion, devel/py-subversion,
devel/ruby-subversion and java/subversion-java and
all dependand ports.
AUTHOR: Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
Subversion was updated to version 1.7.0 and port was reworked.
Now there is no "devel/subversion-freebsd" port. All FreeBSD-specific patches
are incorporated into main subversion port as options, which are turned ON by
default.
These options are:
P4_STYLE_MARKERS -- change conflict markers to P4 style,
established for FreeBSD projects.
This is not mandatory for working with
FreeBSD sources.
ENHANCED_KEYWORD -- Support for custom keywords, like
$ FreeBSD $ in sources.
This is MANDATORY for working with
FreeBSD sources.
FREEBSD_TEMPLATE -- Standard FreeBSD commit template.
It is RECOMMENDED for working with
FreeBSD sources.
Also, subversion 1.7.0 changes the working copy format,
and a working copy can not be shared between
subversion 1.7.0 and 1.6.x. Please, think twice before
upgrading.
Additional the port "devel/subversion16" was created to
support subversion 1.6.x. Subversion 1.7.x and 1.6.x
can not be installed simultaneously!
Binding ports can be built with Subversion 1.7.0 (Default)
or with Subversion 1.6.x. To build bindings with subversion 1.6.x
you should set variable WITH_SUBVERSION_VER to "16".
There are several ways to upgrade, depending on what you used
before and what you want to get after upgrade.
(a) You use devel/subversion without FreeBSD patches and, maybe,
some bindings. You want fresh'n'new subversion 1.7.0.
Please, run:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion && make config
<deselect first three options described above, if you want it>
# portupgrade -r devel/subversion
or
# portmaster -R -r subversion-1.6
(b) You use devel/subversion-freebsd and, maybe, some
bindings. You want fresh'n'new subversion 1.7.0, again
with FreeBSD patches.
Please, run:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion && make config
<make sure that first three options are selected>
# portupgrade -o devel/subversion devel/subversion-freebsd
# portupgrade -r devel/subversion
or
# portmaster -o devel/subversion devel/subversion-freebsd
# portmaster -R -r subversion-1.7
(c) You use devel/subversion without FreeBSD patches and, maybe,
some bindings. You want good old subversion 1.6.x, again
without again.
Please, run:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion16 && make config
<deselect first three options described above, if you want it>
# portupgrade -o devel/subversion16 devel/subversion
# portupgrade -m "WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=16" -r devel/subversion16
or
# portmaster -o devel/subversion16 devel/subversion
# portmaster -m "WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=16" -R -r subversion-1.6
(d) You use devel/subversion-freebsd and, maybe, some bindings.
You want good old subversion 1.6.x, with FreeBSD patches.
Please, run:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion16 && make config
<make sure, that first three options are selected>
# portupgrade -o devel/subversion16 devel/subversion-freebsd
# portupgrade -m "WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=16" -r devel/subversion16
or
# portmaster -o devel/subversion16 devel/subversion-freebsd
# portmaster -m "WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=16" -R -r subversion-1.6
20111005:
AFFECTS: users of lang/erlang
AUTHOR: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@FreeBSD.org>
Following the R14B04 upgrade the JAVA, X11, WX and ODBC port
options have been set to OFF by default; this will allow to replace
lang/erlang-lite with lang/erlang for headless operation in the
near future.
If you need any of these options, run "make config" in lang/erlang
before upgrading, or set your make.conf accordingly.
20111003:
AFFECTS: users of math/qhull
AUTHOR: Stephen Montgomery-Smith <stephen@FreeBSD.org>
The port math/qhull has been moved to math/qhull5, and math/qhull has been
updated to a version that is incompatible with all ports previously using
math/qhull. If you are upgrading a port that has math/qhull as a dependency,
please delete the port math/qhull first, so that math/qhull5 is properly
made as a dependency.

20110928:
AFFECTS: users of 10-current
AUTHOR: eadler@FreeBSD.org
There are known issues installing ports on FreeBSD 10+ due to
bogus assumptions by various build scripts. This will not be fixed
until 9-RELEASE is released.

after upgrading cyrus-sasl2.
20110921:
AFFECTS: users of devel/maven2 and devel/maven3
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The devel/maven2 and devel/maven3 now rely on a wrapper port:
devel/maven-wrapper. If you plan to upgrade the devel/maven[23] ports, you
will have to uninstall all of them before reinstalling them.
20110917:
AFFECTS: users of misc/tvbrowser
AUTHOR: lme@FreeBSD.org
From version 3.0.2 on TV-Browser doesn't include any plugins any longer. You
are supposed to download the plugins manually, this also means that you need
to download the appropriate channel sources plugin for your country. After
installing it your previously configured channels are visible again. To do so,
select "Tools -> Install / Update Plugins..." and choose the plugins you need.
20110915:
AFFECTS: users of dns/unbound
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
unbound supports GOST from version 1.4.12 but only if dns/ldns was build
with GOST support too. There is no way to check the option when unbound
builds, so you should make sure the option is on in both unbound and lds.
20110914:
AFFECTS: users of www/asterisk-stat

AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The databases/db51 port (Oracle Berkeley DB version 5.1) has been
removed. Version 5.2 of the package is available in databases/db5.
Users of ports that depend on the removed 5.1 versions are advised
to rebuild the affected ports.
20110830:
AFFECTS: users of lang/racket
AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
Racket has been upgraded to version 5.1.3. Due to the recent rewrite of
the Racket graphics handling code, it is no longer possible to build
this port without X11.
The WITHOUT_X11 switch now controls if X11 is brought in as
USE_GNOME/LIB_DEPENDS or BUILD_DEPENDS.
In the latter case you will be able to build a Racket package that can
then be deployed on a headless server.

AFFECTS: users of security/maia
AUTHOR: Janky Jay, III <ek@purplehat.org>
There have been many changes to the maia port, including renaming the rc
script and variables from maia to maiad. You will need to replace any
instances of maia with maiad in /etc/rc.conf, as well as renaming /var/amavisd
to /var/maiad. The 'vscan' user's home directory also needs to be changed to
/var/maiad.
These can be done by:
# mv /var/amavisd /var/maiad
# sed -i.bak -e "s/^maia_/maiad_/" /etc/rc.conf

20110606:
AFFECTS: users of mail/sympa
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
Sympa previously used to install to ${PREFIX}/sympa, which goes against
the general rules for hierarchy. Most files which were previously found
in ${PREFIX}/sympa should now be found in ${PREFIX}/libexec/sympa.
Any configuration in httpd.conf files etc will need to be updated to the
new directory.
Before upgrade, it is advisable to back up configuration files
${PREFIX}/etc/sympa.conf and wwsympa.conf since previous versions wipe these
out on deinstall.
20110606:

AUTHOR: nikola.lecic@anthesphoria.net
KMFL keyboard ports are now shared between IBus and SCIM KMFL IMEngines
(textproc/ibus-kmfl and textproc/scim-kmfl-imengine). Thus, the prefix
'scim-' is dropped from keyboard ports names.
Similar to m17n, both engines now search engine-neutral locations,
${LOCALBASE}/share/kmfl/ and ~/.kmfl/. Users have to move their local
keyboard files from ~/.scim/kmfl/ to ~/.kmfl/.

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.14 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.12, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.14):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.14 -f perl-5.12.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.14 lang/perl5.12
Conservative:
portmaster p5-
Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.
20110516:
AFFECTS: users of net/skype, net/skype-devel, net-im/skype, net-im/skype-devel
AUTHOR: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@FreeBSD.org>
All skype ports were moved to net-im/:
- skype12: unchanged, very old version (for FreeBSD 6)
- skype20: last version with OSS support, that used to live in net/skype; the
DISTFILE is gone from the vendor but if you happen to have it, it would be a
way of having sound w/o needing to upgrade your base OS
- [RECOMMENDED] skype: currently at 2.1.0.81 and the best supported
- skype-devel: currently at 2.2.0.25, sounds is OK, video doesn't work
To run either skype or skype-devel with fully working sound you need:
- to run fc10 (most probably, please report what you can do with fc4):
(OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10,OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10
in /etc/make.conf for systems that doesn't have it as default)
- In order for Skype to work OK, you need your kernel and modules to be:
- post 2011-05-03 in on HEAD
- post 2011-05-08 in on 7,8-STABLE
The port tries to catch if your system version is too old, but there's a
~3months window where because of a lack of OSVERSION bump, this is not
possible. So please check; and PLEASE READ THE PKGMESSAGE for setup details.
For how to update your kernel/world, see:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
IF YOUR OSVERSION IS NOT NEW ENOUGH, SOUND (ESPECIALLY MIC) WON'T WORK.
If you run into problems, at very least we need to know the output of:
$ uname -a; sysctl compat.linux | head -2; \
grep OVERRIDE_LINUX_ /etc/make.conf; \
cat /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf
the skype version you are using and hardware details (eg. webcam, if related)
I most probably will ignore any mail not containing this info since without
it it's impossible to help.
Please test your sound /video setup outside skype before blaming skype /
mailing me.
20110516:
AFFECTS: users of audio/musicpd
AUTHOR: Chris Rees <utisoft@gmail.com>
Musicpd now installs the binary for the server as bin/musicpd, rather than
mpd, to remove a conflict with net/mpich2; before upgrade you should run:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/musicpd stop
Likewise, mpd.conf has been renamed musicpd.conf-- if you want to keep it
as mpd.conf then place MPDCONF="mpd.conf" into /etc/make.conf, otherwise
after upgrade run:
# mv /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf /usr/local/etc/musicpd.conf

AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.25. In this version, certain library
routines were moved from liblutil to libldap. If you previously built

FreeBSD's libfetch.so library.
As of 20110402, a local change have been introduced so OpenLDAP libraries
link against libfetch.so when FETCH is enabled. Normally, no further user
interaction would be required.
For new installations, the FETCH option have been turned off by default.

The port www/node was merged with www/node-devel since there is no longer a
development version. Also www/node has not followed the stable upstream
prior to this update.
To keep www/node updated in your applications, from now on you must use
www/node instead of www/node-devel. If you have been using the www/node-devel,
you must run one of the following commands to upgrade:
# portmaster -o www/node www/node-devel
or
# portupgrade -o www/node www/node-devel

AFFECTS: users of www/uzbl
AUTHOR: Klaus Aehlig <aehlig@linta.de>
The port has been updated to version as of 2011/02/15. This introduces
the following incompatabilities.
- $UZBL_FIFO, $UZBL_TITLE are available to scripts as environment variables,
but not as command-line arguments.
- environment variables are no longer expanded by the config parser
- download handling has changed
- cookie daemons are no longer supported
Users are advised to change their personal configuration files/scripts accordingly.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/duplicity
AUTHOR: peter.schuller@infidyne.com
sysutils/duplicity has been upgraded to 0.6.11. The old version
(0.5.20) is retained as sysutils/duplicity05. Duplicity 0.6 should
be generally compatible, but pay special attention to the new meaning
of the --archive-dir command. In particular, the archive dir is now
mandatory and defaults to ~/.cache/duplicity. You may have to
--exclude accordingly. In addition, it is recommended you consult
the CHANGELOG, specifically the "New in v0.6.00 (2009/06/08)" section
which details the checkpoint/restore feature (enabled by default) and
its implications.

AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced
AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org
The setiathome client has been updated to version 6.12. Before you
update, finish and report your current workunits to avoid losing them.
20110304:
AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-*
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default version of Python has been changed from 2.6.x to 2.7.x.
If you have 2.6.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python26 to
lang/python27 with one of the following commands:
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o lang/python27 lang/python26
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o lang/python27 lang/python26
If you want to retain 2.6.x as default Python version, set the
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.6' (without quotes) in
/etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following
command:
# portupgrade -R python
Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.7, by using the
method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new
Python version.
If using portupgrade:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
If using portmaster:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER
The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of
cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).
This is not the fault of portmaster.

AFFECTS: users of databases/jasperserver
AUTHOR: jhelfman@experts-exchange.com
(taken from release notes of 4.0 from vendor)
If you are upgrading from an older JasperServer version such as 3.5 then
you must first upgrade to JasperServer 3.7 before upgrading to 4.0.
Upgrading directly from JasperServer 3.5 to 4.0 is not a "certified"
(i.e. fully QA tested) procedure.
The steps to carry out this operation are fully documented in the
JasperReports Server Installation Guide for the 3.7 release. You will
need to download the JasperServer 3.7 release package to get the relevant
files and documentation. To download the JasperServer 3.7 WAR file
distribution zip package, go to the JasperForge.org website and to the
JasperServer project.

AFFECTS: users of net/unison and net/unison-devel
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Unison has been upgraded to version 2.40, which uses a different wire
protocol than 2.32 did. In order to support synchronization with
other computers where Unison is still at version 2.32, a new port
net/unison232 has been created. It provides unison232 and if that is
GTK2-enabled, also unison232-text. This unison232 port can be
installed in parallel with the existing net/unison port.

AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.24, which requires a shared library
version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports that depend on

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.12 has been updated to 5.12.3. You should update everything
that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
"perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.12.
Please see its manual page for details.
If you want to switch to lang/perl5.12 from lang/perl5.{8,10} please
follow instructions in the entry 20100715 in this file.
20110124:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org
Postfix 2.8 introduces minor incompatibilities with previous versions.
Alias expansion, dns lookups, TLS support, milters and other features
are affected. To avoid surprises, carefully review the RELEASE_NOTES.
If you upgrade from Postfix 2.6 or earlier, you must execute "postfix
stop" and "postfix start" before you can use the postscreen(8) daemon.
This is needed because the Postfix 2.6 "pass" master service type did
not work reliably on some systems. If you upgrade from Postfix 2.7, or
from Postfix 2.8 before July 25, 2010, you must "postfix reload" (or
"postfix stop" followed by "postfix start"). This is needed because
the queue manager to delivery agent protocol has changed.
Also note that the optional SPF and VDA patches have not been updated
for Postfix 2.8; as a result, they are currently disabled.

AFFECTS: users of www/redmine
AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org
If you use 3rd party plugins that are incompatible with i18n >= 0.5.0

install an older i18n version manually.
# gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n
Then upgrade the database as usual:
# rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

AFFECTS: users of mail/exim
AUTHOR: rea@FreeBSD.org
[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] The default value for system_filter_user
is now the Exim run-time user, instead of root.
[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is no longer
optional and is forced on. This is mitigated by the new build
option TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST which defines a list of configuration
files which are trusted; one per line. If a config file is owned
by root and matches a pathname in the list, then it may be invoked
by the Exim build-time user without Exim relinquishing root
privileges.
[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] The Exim user is no longer automatically
trusted to supply -D<Macro[=Value]> overrides on the command-line.
Going forward, we recommend using TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST with shim
configs that include the main config. As a transition mechanism,
we are temporarily providing a work-around: the new build option
WHITELIST_D_MACROS provides a colon-separated list of macro names
which may be overriden by the Exim run-time user. The values of
these macros are constrained to the regex ^[A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*$
(which explicitly does allow for empty values).
Upgrading users are encouraged to fully study

AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
libksba has been updated to 1.1.0, and the shared library version has
increased from .17 to .18.
Directly- and indirectly-dependent ports have had their PORTREVISION
bumped to facilitate rebuilding. Please rebuild the dependent ports
with your preferred upgrading tool:
# portupgrade -rf security/libksba
-or-
# portmaster -w -r security/libksba
If there are still ports on your system that require ksba.so.17 (either
in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg, or non-existent), _please_ file a PR so
that a correct direct dependency can be added.
Once you are satisfied that no ports still depend on the old shared
library version (libksba.so.17), you can safely delete it from the
${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg directory if it is present there.

AFFECTS: autotools
AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org
The next stage in the ongoing cleanup of autotools-using ports is
a refactoring of bsd.autotools.mk so that version numbers are no longer
needed within the USE_AUTOTOOLS stanza. There is either
autoconf213/autoconf or automake14/automake (for the legacy versions,
and the currently available versions). This will considerably reduce
the amount of tree-wide patching in future on an update.
IMPORTANT: if you have either devel/autoconf-wrapper or
devel/automake-wrapper installed on your system (and you most likely do)
PLEASE update these ports to their new versions before updating anything
else -- Bad Things[tm] are likely to happen otherwise.

AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix, mail/postfix2[56]
AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org
As of Postfix 2.7.2, 2.6.8, 2.5.11:
Postfix no longer automatically appends the system default CA
(certificate authority) certificates, when it reads the CA
certificates specified with {smtp, lmtp, smtpd}_tls_CAfile or
with {smtp, lmtp, smtpd}_tls_CApath. This prevents third-party
certificates from getting mail relay permission with the
permit_tls_all_clientcerts feature. Unfortunately, this change
may cause compatibility problems with configurations that rely
on certificate verification for other purposes. To get the old
behavior, specify "tls_append_default_CA = yes".

AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
Incompatibility with snapshot 20100912
======================================
- If your DNSBL queries have a "secret" in the domain name, you must
now censor this information from the postscreen(8) SMTP replies.
- The postscreen "continue" action is now called "ignore". The old
name is still supported but no longer documented.
- The postscreen_hangup_action parameter was removed. Postscreen
now always behaves as if "postscreen_hangup_action = drop".
- The postscreen_cache_retention_time default was increased from
1d to 7d, to avoid deleting results from expensive deep SMTP
protocol tests too quickly.
Incompatibility with snapshot 20100827
======================================
- The Postfix SMTP client no longer appends the local domain when
looking up a DNS name without ".".
Specify "smtp_dns_resolver_options = res_defnames" to get the old
behavior, which may produce unexpected results.

If this leads to problems with old SSL clients, I will look into making
it configurable at build time again.

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

20100818:
AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The default lighttpd configuration file locations have changed.
The main configuration file is now: $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
and includes other configuration files from $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/
For compatibility with old-style configurations, if the lighttpd_conf
variable is not set in /etc/rc.conf, $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd.conf takes
precedence over $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
20100815:
AFFECTS: users of databases/redis and databases/redis-devel
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The redis configuration file, redis.conf, have been changed, some options

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

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

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

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

AUTHORS: beat@FreeBSD.org, mandree@FreeBSD.org (Java plugin)
The www/firefox port has been updated to 3.6. From now on www/firefox
will contain the most recent version of Firefox. Older but still
supported releases will be available in www/firefox3 and www/firefox35.
In order to update to Firefox 3.6 please delete your older installed
version of Firefox first and install www/firefox afterwards. Please
make sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 3.6 and backup
your ~/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox 3.6.
Note that in order to use Java with Firefox 3.6, you need to install

AFFECTS: users of Mesa3D libraries and x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau
AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org
If you want to use Mesa3D 7.6.1 and libdrm 2.4.17 rather than 7.4.4
and 2.4.12, you must define WITHOUT_NOUVEAU global macro, at least,
enabled on graphics/libGL*, graphics/libglut, graphics/dri,
graphics/mesa-demos, and graphics/libdrm. And please give up using
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau.
At this time, I cannot enable latest Mesa3D and libdrm, because they
break xf86-video-nouveau. But old (current?) Mesa3D and libdrm do not
break any drivers.
AMD Radeon HD 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx users: If you use AMD Radeon HD [234]xxx
series, please define WITHOUT_NOUVEAU global macro. You can then use
OpenGL Hardware Accelerator feature on these series.

AFFECTS: users of net/samba4-devel
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Default configuration file was moved to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/smb4.conf to
avoid conflicts with the installed net/samba3?. Also, userland utils
are not installed by default, which should also help with the parallel
setup of Samba3 and Samba4.
20100205:
AFFECTS: users of Qt 3 and KDE 3
AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org
When building qt33 and kdelibs3 (at least), while they are installed,
because of -L/usr/local/lib being passed too soon, the currently installed
libraries are used instead of the ones from the build. This makes the
build fail if you updated any of the libraries these Qt/KDE libraries are
linked against (e.g. libjpeg).
For the moment the workaround, when you get to this, is to move the old lib
out of the way, e.g.:
mv /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so.old && \
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/ && make && \
mv /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so.old /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so && \
portmaster -C x11-toolkits/qt33 (or portupgrade -w qt-33\*) ...

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
Default version of Perl was bumped to 5.10.
If you already have lang/perl5.8 installed, and want to switch to
lang/perl5.10 please follow instructions in the entry 20090328 in this
file.
20100205:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba34
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
This port was developed with the generous help of Florent Brodin.
The default passdb backend has been changed to `tdbsam'! That breaks
existing setups using the `smbpasswd' backend without explicit
declaration! Please use `passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like
to stick to the `smbpasswd' backend or convert your smbpasswd entries
using e.g. `pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam'.
The `tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user
settings like `profile path' or `home directory' and there are some
commands which do not work with the `smbpasswd' backend at all.
20100130:
AFFECTS: users of audio/sdl_mixer and graphics/sdl_image
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org
The SDL_mixer and SDL_image libraries have new shared library versions.
Please rebuild all ports that depend on them.
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -r sdl_mixer-
portmaster -r sdl_image-
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fr audio/sdl_mixer
portupgrade -fr graphics/sdl_image
20100125:
AFFECTS: users of audio/openal and graphics/openal-soft
AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org
The default OpenAL implementation was switched to audio/openal-soft.
To update all ports correctly, the following steps have to be performed.
pkg_delete -f openal-\*
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -o audio/openal-soft audio/openal
portmaster -r audio/openal-soft
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -ro audio/openal audio/openal-soft
If you want to stick with audio/openal, please specify the following ports
make flag within /etc/make.conf (or an appropriate configuration file for
your ports):
WANT_OPENAL=si
20100122:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/policykit and sysutils/polkit
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Due to a recent change in sysutils/policykit, both sysutils/policykit,
and sysutils/polkit need to be rebuilt, but in a certain order. First,
upgrade sysutils/policykit to 0.9_6. Then, force rebuild and reinstall
of sysutils/polkit. If you do not do this, applications which depend
on polkitd will fail.
20100113:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
Port has been renamed to emulators/virtualbox-ose to reflect that we are
using the OSE version. A separate port for the kernel modules has been
created: emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod.
Please see http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox for update instructions.
20100107:
AFFECTS: users of security/openvpn*
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
security/openvpn has been moved to security/openvpn20 and upgraded to 2.0.9.
security/openvpn has been upgraded to 2.1.1, and security/openvpn-devel has
been removed.
Regular upgrades of the security/openvpn port should succeed without
manual intervention, but if you want to stick to openvpn 2.0 or if you
had been using openvpn-devel, manual intervention is needed, as
follows:
If you'd been using the security/openvpn-devel port, please use one of
these commands for upgrading:
portmaster -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn security/openvpn-devel
portupgrade -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn security/openvpn-devel
If you want to stick to openvpn 2.0, please use one of these two
upgrade commands:
portmaster -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn20 security/openvpn
portupgrade -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn20 security/openvpn
20100106:
AFFECTS: users of devel/websvn
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default install directory for websvn has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/websvn to ${PREFIX}/www/websvn.
If you are updating from a previous version, to preserve your settings

mv /usr/local/www/data/websvn /usr/local/www
Then update as usual.
20091227:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/grok
AUTHOR: Wesley Shields <wxs@FreeBSD.org>
The sysutils/grok port has been completely re-written. Configuration files
will need to be reviewed. Also, the RC script has been removed until it can
be made to work with the new version.
20091226:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/ndoutils
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
When upgrading you'll need to run ./upgradedb; see UPGRADING file.
20091214:
AFFECTS: users of net/grdc
AUTHOR: avl@FreeBSD.org
Grdc has been renamed to Remmina upstream, and the port was also renamed
to reflect this. After installing remmina port you will need to download
the ``grdc2remmina.sh'' script and run it as your normal user(s) that
have ~/.grdc. The script will only create ~/.remmina directory and move
grdc config files to the new path; it does not affect anything else.
$ fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~avl/script/grdc2remmina.sh
$ sh grdc2remmina.sh
20091213:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/zabbix, net-mgmt/zabbix-agent
AUTHOR: Jim Riggs <ports@christianserving.org>
In order to simplify configuration and better separate the different
components of Zabbix, the former zabbix port has been split into three:
zabbix-server, zabbix-proxy, and zabbix-frontend. Each component has
distinct functionality and may be installed independently on separate
systems. The existing zabbix-agent port remains.
Additionally, the new zabbix-frontend port now (correctly) installs the
PHP frontend in PREFIX/www/zabbix. The old zabbix port installed the
files in PREFIX/share/zabbix/php. Web server configurations must be
updated accordingly.
Finally, Zabbix has been updated to version 1.8. Not everyone may be
able to upgrade from version 1.6 immediately, though, so 1.6.8 versions
of the ports are also available as zabbix16-server, zabbix16-proxy,
zabbix16-agent, and zabbix16-frontend.
20091206:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu
AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to 0.11.1, which no longer enables kqemu by
default (if built with KQEMU knob on), now you also have to explicitly
pass -enable-kqemu (or -kernel-kqemu as with the previous versions)
if you want to use it. Also note the 0.11 stable branch is the last
qemu branch that still supports kqemu, so if you depend on reasonably
fast emulation on FreeBSD you should start looking for alternatives
some time soon. (VirtualBox?)
20091120:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfixadmin
AUTHOR: Terry Sposato <tabmow@freenode.net>
Due to a bug in the previous postfixadmin port, existing users need to
backup their config.inc.php before they upgrade to postfixadmin-2.3 or
later and put it in place after the upgrade is complete.
20091120:
AFFECTS: users of security/f-prot
AUTHOR: Tim Bishop <tdb@FreeBSD.org>
The main f-prot command is now named fpscan. Virus definitions are
updated using the fpupdate command. fpupdate will automatically run
from periodic every day. To disable set the following option in
/etc/periodic.conf:
fpupdate_enable="NO"
The f-prot port now only works on i386.
20091118:
AFFECTS: users of java/jboss5
AUTHOR: Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz>
The JBoss directory structure has been reorganised to follow hier(7)
guidelines more closely; in particular, transient and deployment files
were moved to /var/jboss5, thus allowing /usr to be read-only.
20091118:
AFFECTS: users of www/redmine
AUTHOR: Bernhard Froehlich <decke@bluelife.at>
After the upgrade you need to generate a session secret before restarting
the application. This is to protect you from cross-site request forgery.
From your Redmine directory, simply run the following command once:
# rake config/initializers/session_store.rb
then upgrade as usual:
# rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
20091114:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/win4bsd
AUTHOR: Mario S F Ferreira <lioux@FreeBSD.org>
The new port now depends on emulators/kqemu-kmod instead of installing
its own version. Therefore, you should make sure that no other kqemu.ko
modules are installed:
# pkg_delete -f win4bsd\*
# rm -f /boot/kernel/kqemu.ko
# pkg_delete -f kqemu-kmod\*
# portinstall emulators/win4bsd
Do not forget to enable kqemu on rc.conf since win4bsd will not work
without it.
20091018:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql54-server
AUTHOR: Alex Dupre <ale@FreeBSD.org>
After the upgrade the server may fail to start due to changes in the
default values of innodb_log_files_in_group and innodb_log_file_size,
which differ from those in earlier 5.4 releases.
You should discard the old InnoDB log files and let MySQL 5.4.3 create
new ones. It is necessary to shut down your current server cleanly so
that no outstanding transaction information remains in the log.
See here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.4/en/news-5-4-3.html

AFFECTS: users of archivers/lzmautils, archivers/lzmautils-devel
AUTHOR: Christian Weisgerber <naddy@FreeBSD.org>
The XZ Utils distribution has superseded LZMA Utils, so the xz port has
been added and the lzmautils ports have been removed. To perform the
move, run one of the following commands:
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o archivers/xz lzmautils\*
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o archivers/xz archivers/lzmautils
or
# portmaster -o archivers/xz archivers/lzmautils-devel
as applicable.

AFFECTS: users of www/epiphany, x11/yelp, graphics/librsvg2,
x11/toolkits/py-gnome-extras, and www/epiphany-extensions
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
The default Gecko provider has been changed from www/firefox to
www/libxul. Firefox 2.x is now marked FORBIDDEN for security reasons,
and libxul is new, stable, and preferred Gecko provider. Libxul uses
the same Gecko engine as Firefox 3.0.x.
Some ports may fail to upgrade or run when both www/firefox and libxul
are installed on the same system. To make sure everything runs smoothly,
uninstall www/firefox, then install libxul, then upgrade the affected
ports.

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon*, x11/kdebase4*, deskutils/kdepim4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE 4 has been updated to version 4.3.0. KDE now uses qt4-phonon;
multimedia/phonon and multimedia/phonon-gstreamer are deprecated in
favor of their qt4 equivalents. You can still use multimedia/phonon-xine
however. A number of files have been moved between packages. The
recommended update procedure is to delete phonon, phonon-gstreamer,
kdebase-*4*, kdepim-4*, then update ports as usual and install desired
KDE 4 ports:
# pkg_delete -f phonon-4\* phonon-gstreamer\* kdebase-\*4\* kdepim-4\*

AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 ports have been moved to libtool22
and libltdl22, respectively, then updated to 2.2.6a. You will need to run
portmaster or portupgrade to properly perform the upgrade:
If using portmaster:
portmaster -o devel/libtool22 devel/libtool15
portmaster -o devel/libltdl22 devel/libltdl15
If using portupgrade:
portupgrade -o devel/libtool22 libtool-1.5\*
portupgrade -o devel/libltdl22 libltdl-1.5\*
After that, you will need to rebuild all ports that depend on libltdl.
Since all dependent ports' PORTREVISIONs have been bumped, you can run
portupgrade or portmaster with `-a' option to complete the upgrade.
20090801:

AFFECTS: users of 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=???

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.

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 Fedora 8 Linux infrastructure ports
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
ATTENTION! Those ports are not default for any version of FreeBSD for now
and may be used with FreeBSD versions 7.2 and above (8-CURRENT is better)
using compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 and linux_base-f8. Please, note that
2.6.16 is not fully supported on 7.x (ex., some syscalls are missing
and cannot be MFCed due to a native FreeBSD ABI breakage).
For more information about transition please read item "20070327: AFFECTS:
users of emulators/linux_base-fc6". That note may be used for upgrading
to linux_base-f8 and Fedora 8 Linux infrastructure ports as well.
If you want to switch to linux-f8 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8
20090328:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.10 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.8, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.10):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portmaster -o lang/perl5.10 lang/perl5.8
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.
20090327:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
After version 0.95 clamav-milter does not accept parameters by command
line. If you are using $clamav_milter_flags on rc.conf to set its
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 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:

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE 4 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-\*

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
sections from your xorg.conf
2. Don't use moused. If you want it to work with addon USB mice
set this in rc.conf:
moused_enable="NO"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
I'm working on fixing hald or the mouse driver or both.
20090123:
AFFECTS: users of x11/libxcb

20090119:
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.
20090118:
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

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:

20090112:
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.

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.

portmaster pecl
If you have the pecl hash, json and/or zip extensions you need to replace
them with the PHP5 bundled ones, e.g.:
portmaster/portupgrade -o archivers/php5-zip archivers/pecl-zip
portmaster/portupgrade -o devel/php5-json devel/pecl-json
portmaster/portupgrade -o security/php5-hash security/pecl-hash
If you build your INDEX locally and you tried to build it after the PHP
update commit, you need to rebuild it _after_ you updated lang/php5:
cd /usr/ports && make index
or (if you use ports-mgmt/p5-FreeBSD-Portindex):
cd /usr/ports && cache-init && portindex -o `make -V INDEXFILE`

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

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

AFFECTS: users of www/codeigniter
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
For certain installations, the following steps should be performed
after the CodeIgniter 1.7.0 upgrade (taken from:
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_170.html).
>>> Update your Session Table
If you are using the Session class in your application, AND if you
are storing session data to a database, you must add a new column
named user_data to your session table. Here is an example of what
this column might look like for MySQL:
user_data text NOT NULL
To add this column you will run a query similar to this:
ALTER TABLE `ci_sessions` ADD `user_data` text NOT NULL
You'll find more information regarding the new Session functionality
in the Session class page:
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html
>>> Update your Validation Syntax
This is an optional, but recommended step, for people currently
using the Validation class. CI 1.7 introduces a new Form Validation
class (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/form_validation.html)
which deprecates the old Validation library. We have left the old one
in place so that existing applications that use it will not break, but
you are encouraged to migrate to the new version as soon as possible.
Please read the user guide carefully as the new library works a little
differently, and has several new features.
20081026:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/sj3-server
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The sj3serv daemon in japanese/sj3-server port now uses "localhost"
as the default listen address for security reason. If you need
the wildcard address (INADDR_ANY), you have to explicitly set
"servername" to 0.0.0.0 in ${PREFIX}/etc/sj3/serverrc.
20081026:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/Canna and japanese/sj3
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/Canna and japanese/sj3 port have been split into
japanese/canna-server and japanese/canna-lib, and japanese/sj3-server
and japanese/sj3-lib, respectively for more fine-grained dependency
management in the Ports Collection.
20080926:
AFFECTS: users of www/squid30
AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de
The Squid developers decided to disable COSS support in 3.0, cf.
the discussion starting here:
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200809/0067.html
The corresponding port configuration option WITH_SQUID_COSS is still
available but is a no-op for now. If you currently use COSS storage with
Squid 3.0 you need to disable it in squid.conf.
20080924:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd
AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org
proftpd now stores its .delay and .scoreboard files in /var/run/proftpd
instead of /var/run. If you are updating an existing installation,
adjust the following in /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf:
ScoreboardFile /var/run/proftpd/proftpd.scoreboard
Also of note: The third party modules, mod_codeconv, mod_comb, and
mod_sql_tds are not compatible with this release and have been removed.
They will be re-added when the respective authors provide updated versions.
20080909:
AFFECTS: users of security/logcheck
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
logcheck now stores its configuration files in /usr/local/etc/logcheck
instead of /usr/local/etc. If you are upgrading the port from version
1.1.1 to version 1.2.54, copy the following files to a temporary location,
in case they are removed during the upgrade:
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.hacking
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.ignore
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.violations
/usr/local/etc/logcheck.violations.ignore
e.g.:
cd /usr/local/etc
mkdir /tmp/logcheck.saveconf
cp logcheck.hacking logcheck.ignore logcheck.violations* \
/tmp/logcheck.saveconf
After the upgrade, integrate your local changes to the files listed
above into the new configuration files found in the following directories:
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/cracking.d
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/violations.d
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d
Please consult the following files for more information about
logcheck rules and reporting levels:
/usr/local/share/doc/logcheck/README.logcheck
/usr/local/share/doc/logcheck/README.logcheck-database
Also note that the upgraded port installs a crontab file for user
"logcheck" that executes the logcheck script every hour and emails
the results to root. If the installation process cannot install
the crontab file, it can be installed manually from
/usr/local/share/examples/logcheck/crontab.in, e.g.:
crontab -u logcheck /usr/local/share/examples/logcheck/crontab.in

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios and net-mgmt/nagios-devel
AUTHOR: Jarrod Sayers <jarrod@netleader.com.au>
The stable Nagios port has now been updated to version 3.0.3. Upgrading
to this version shouldn't require any configuration changes, but note that
most sample configuration files were moved into objects/ directory.
Nagios 2.12 is still available as net-mgmt/nagios2, use the following to
remain on this legacy stable branch:
portmaster -o net-mgmt/nagios2 net-mgmt/nagios
or, if you're using portupgrade:
portupgrade -o net-mgmt/nagios2 net-mgmt/nagios
Nagios 3.x development continues in net-mgmt/nagios-devel, users of this
port in production use should consider switching to the stable branch:
portmaster -o net-mgmt/nagios net-mgmt/nagios-devel
or, if you're using portupgrade:
portupgrade -o net-mgmt/nagios net-mgmt/nagios-devel

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

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

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

portupgrade -o net-p2p/transmission-cli net-p2p/transmission
20080805:
AFFECTS: users of devel/qt4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The Qt 4 ports has been updated to 4.4.1. With this update several ports
specific problems have been fixed. Qt 4 headers and libraries have been
moved to include/qt4 and lib/qt4. bsd.qt.mk defines QT_INCDIR and
QT_LIBDIR now, which could be used in qt4-dependent ports if required.
Before you start to update your ports, please force update of qmake4 and
qt4-corelib ports. Portmaster users can do:
portmaster devel/qmake4 devel/qt4-moc devel/qt4-corelib
or, if you're using portupgrade:
portupgrade -f devel/qmake4 devel/qt4-moc devel/qt4-corelib
20080804:
AFFECTS: users of devel/git
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
Git's cvsps dependency has been switched from cvsps-devel to cvsps. The
two are incompatible, so you will need to do the following before

portmaster -o devel/cvsps devel/cvsps-devel
20080728:
AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius2
AUTHOR: David Wood <david@wood2.org.uk>
Upgrading the FreeRADIUS port used to replace all unmodified files
in your configuration with the latest version from the sample
configuration. This strategy has two disadvantages; over time your
configuration became based on different versions of the sample
configuration, also major changes to the sample configuration could
leave your configuration in a confusing state.
From version 2.0.5, your configuration is not touched if any
configuration files have been modified.
You are recommended to track changes in the sample configuration and
keep your configuration in a version control system. I use Subversion
(see the devel/subversion port) to track my changes. Keeping the sample
configuration in a 'vendor branch' (see the Subversion book for more
details) allows easy merging of changes from the sample configuration.
*** IMPORTANT ***
You are urged to move your configuration out of the default location
(/usr/local/etc/raddb) before upgrading from 2.0.4 (or earlier)
to 2.0.5 (or later). Once this upgrade is complete, remove the sample
configuration that has been installed in the default location and
move your configuration back to the default location.
This is a one time procedure that will prevent unmodified files in
your configuration from being deleted from your configuration and not
restored during the upgrade. No customised files will be lost in any
circumstances.
The sample configuration in 2.0.5 has been reorganised: the
configuration of most modules is now in the modules directory rather
than in radiusd.conf. You are urged to rearrange your configuration
to match this layout.
There are several improvements in this version of the port, including
a new pkg-message that will help new FreeRADIUS users to get started
with the port, also new 'reload' and 'debug' commands for the rc.d
script. Enjoy!

% 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.
The update should be rather straightforward.
The only noticeable change in the port is that the ICAP patch is no
longer included; this is because this patch was unmaintained for a long
time and its use was not really recommended. Please consider moving to
Squid-3 (currently available as www/squid30) if you need ICAP support.
Squid 2.6 is still available as www/squid26 and will probably be removed
from the Ports Tree by the end of 2008.
20080712:
AFFECTS: users of databases/rrdtool
AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org
If you use language bindings, like the Perl's RRDs, please upgrade

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:

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.

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:

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

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
20080609:
AFFECTS: users of devel/pear-Date_Holidays
AUTHOR: tabthorpe@FreeBSD.org
pear-Date_Holidays has been split into multiple subports. If you want
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 that depend
on it. Please do 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
20080524:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/jabberd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
Starting with version 2.2.0, resolver is now built in the S2S component.
Jabberd configuration files require updating:
jabberd.cfg: resolver component must be removed
s2s.xml: <lookup> section must be added (see s2s.xml.dist)
resolver.xml: may be deleted (file not required anymore)
20080519:
AFFECTS: users of www/nginx and www/nginx-devel
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
Nginx version lines have been changed: 0.5 -> 0.6 for stable and
0.6 -> 0.7 for development version. Make sure your configuration
files are compatible with the new version(s).
20080519:
AFFECTS: users of irc/bitlbee
AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org

user 'bitlbee'. Make sure any existing configuration files are
readable by that user.
20080517:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/smplayer-*
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 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. In order to migrate your current
configuration, you should 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. Note that 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.
20080503:
AFFECTS: users of net/skype-devel
AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org

new location.
20080416:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
Clamav 0.93 does not support the daily.inc and main.inc directories format
for virus databases. You need to remove these directories manually and
force freshclam to get new cvd format files before starting clamd:
portupgrade clamav
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-freshclam stop
rm -rf /var/db/clamav/main.inc /var/db/clamav/daily.inc
freshclam
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-freshclam start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd start
20080408:
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
separate ports to allow non-GNOME users to install tracker without pulling
in GNOME components. To upgrade please use the directions below.

AFFECTS: users of mail/ezmlm-web
AUTHOR: hans@nordhaug.priv.no
The layout of ezmlm-web 3.2 is changed, please read documentation and
the manual page of ezmlm-web.cgi.
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
configuration file.
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.
20080303:
AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org
gnutls has been updated to 2.2.2 and all shared libraries versions have

Then update as usual.
20080219:
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.
20080218:
AFFECTS: users of devel/poco and devel/poco-ssl
AUTHOR: lippemail@gmail.com
The HashFunction class template has been changed in an incompatible way.
The member function formerly named hash() is now the function call
operator. If you have defined your own HashFunction classes, then you
have to update your code.
20080216:
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.
20080208:
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 is 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

AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
Deluge was updated to version 0.5.8.2. If you are using blocklist plugin,
you have to remove blocklist.conf first before you can run it, or it will
crash upon start up.
$ rm -f ~/.config/deluge/blocklist.conf
20080125:
AFFECTS: users of www/mod_security2
AUTHOR: araujo@FreeBSD.org
Update of mod_security2 is a dramatic change, because there is a need
to completely rewrite their obsolete rules and migrate for capacity to
use new syntax.
You are advised to make a complete backup of your configuration files
before you can perform an update.
20080120:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache20
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
BDB framework provided by bsd.database.mk is now used by www/apache20

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.

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.
