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.

AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
The default mesa has been updated to 7.6.1 and the default xorg-server
to 1.7.7.
A switch is available for people that want to use mesa 7.11.x and
xorg-server 1.10.6. This requires an nvidia card or Intel+KMS support.
If you have an intel card and can try these experimental KMS support
patches:

20120419:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssl
AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
The OpenSSL port has been updated to 1.0.1a. Please rebuild all
ports that depend on it.
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -r openssl
Or, if you would prefer a more gradual approach:
portmaster -w openssl (check the man page for more information)
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fr security/openssl
20120418:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox and mail/thunderbird
AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
Firefox and Thunderbird have been updated to 11.0. If you want to
stay with the Extended Support Release please use the new -esr
ports.
Firefox:
# portupgrade -o www/firefox-esr www/firefox
# portupgrade -o www/firefox-esr-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)
or
# portmaster -o www/firefox-esr www/firefox
# portmaster -o www/firefox-esr-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)
Thunderbird:
# portupgrade -o mail/thunderbird-esr mail/thunderbird
# portupgrade -o mail/thunderbird-esr-i18n \
mail/thunderbird-i18n (if installed)
or
# portmaster -o mail/thunderbird-esr mail/thunderbird
# portmaster -o mail/thunderbird-esr-i18n \
mail/thunderbird (if installed)
20120418:
AFFECTS: users of www/chpasswd
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Previous version of the chpasswd port put the configuration file
in the pkg-plist, causing it to be removed on deinstall.
Users are advised to make a backup copy of the configuration file
before upgrading. This has been fixed and will not happen anymore
in future updates.
20120415:
AFFECTS: users of irc/ircd-ratbox
AUTHOR: scheidell@FreeBSD.org
Ircd-ratbox has been updated to follow the current stable release
branch (3.0.x). All previous branches are no longer supported by the
ratbox team.
Users of ircd-ratbox are advised to create new ircd configuration
files based on the examples provided.
20120404:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/net-snmp
AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org
The net-snmp startup script now specifies a new pid_file to avoid a
conflict that existed with bsnmpd. As a result, the startup script
cannot find currently running versions of snmpd.
You will need to either stop the daemon before upgrading or locate the
PID of snmpd and manually kill it after upgrade. Then, start the daemon
as you normally would.
20120326:
AFFECTS: users of www/tomcat7
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
Tomcat 7 startup script now uses 'jsvc' to monitor the daemon's process.
A few rc.conf variables has been changed, be sure to adapt your
configuration, if needed.
20120318:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dbmail
AUTHOR: rm@FreeBSD.org
dbmail 3.0 is now available.
There are a number of significant changes including Dependencies,
Config, Schema and Server changes.
Without required modifications, dbmail will not run and you will
no longer have access to your emails. See UPGRADING for details.
Don't forget to backup and fully test before upgrading.
To stick with version 2.2.x run:
# portupgrade -o mail/dbmail22 mail/dbmail
or
# portmaster -o mail/dbmail22 mail/dbmail
20120313:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt4-gui
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
MIT-SHM problem (blank windows in Marble and KDE-Games) has been
fixed, kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1 is not needed anymore to
workaround it.
20120311:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 and lang/perl5.10
AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 and lang/perl5.10 have been restored from the Attic
in order to give a FreeBSD-style deprecation cycle. However, users
are advised to upgrade to perl5.12 as soon as feasible.
20120308:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 and lang/perl5.10
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 and lang/perl5.10 have been removed since they've
been EOL upstream for 3yrs and 2yrs respectively. The default
of lang/perl5.12 has not changed (yet). Conditional checks for
perl < 5.12 have been removed. UNLESS you have PERL_VERSION=5.8.x
or PERL_VERSION=5.10.x in /etc/make.conf you need take no action.
If you do, you will have to recompile all perl dependant ports after
updating your ports tree. Please see entry 20110517 for help.
20120225:
AFFECTS: users of archivers/libarchive
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
libarchive has been updated to version 3.0.3, with a shared library bump.
This requires dependent ports to be rebuilt.
# portmaster -r libarchive
or
# portupgrade -r archivers/libarchive
20120221:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose
AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org
virtualbox-ose has been updated to 4.1.8 and requires the latest
devel/kBuild-devel now. It is only a build dependency so it is safe
to remove it before updating.
# pkg_delete -f kBuild-\*
20120220:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/libungif
AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
libungif is obsolete, please deinstall it and rebuild all ports using
it with graphics/giflib.
# portmaster -o graphics/giflib graphics/libungif
# portmaster -r giflib
or
# portupgrade -o graphics/giflib graphics/libungif
# portupgrade -rf giflib
20120216:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/libvpx
AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org
libvpx has been updated to version 1.0.0, with a shared library bump.
This requires dependencies to be rebuilt.
# portmaster -r libvpx
or
# portupgrade -r multimedia/libvpx
20120214:
AFFECTS: users of net/libexosip2
AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org
libexosip2 has been updated with a shared library bump.
This requires dependencies to be rebuilt.
# portmaster -r libexosip2
or
# portupgrade -rf libexosip2-3.\*
20120214:
AFFECTS: users of devel/pcre
AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org
Until all dependent ports have been updated you should update pcre in
a manner that will preserve its old shared library. For example:
# portmaster -w devel/pcre
or
# portupgrade devel/pcre
20120213:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
AUTHOR: pgj@FreeBSD.org
GHC has been updated to version 7.0.4, and Haskell Platform to version
2011.4.0.0, and other Haskell ports are also updated to their Haskell
Platform versions or latest versions.
To update all affected ports:
# portmaster -r lang/ghc
or
# portupgrade -r lang/ghc
20120210:
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\*
20120112:
AFFECTS: Nobody
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
FreeBSD 9.0 released.
20120109:
AFFECTS: users of www/p5-WWW-GitHub-Gist
AUTHOR: lbr@FreeBSD.org
gist command was moved into new www/p5-App-gist port.
20120109:
AFFECTS: ports using Apache Software License 2.0
AUTHOR: tabthorpe@FreeBSD.org
The correct acronym for Apache Software License 2.0 is really AL2.
20120109:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/inkscape:
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
Before updating graphics/inkscape to version 0.48.2 one should deinstall
the port graphics/libwpg01.
20120108:
AFFECTS: users of devel/p5-CPAN-Meta and devel/p5-Version-Requirements
AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
Author of Version::Requirements (devel/p5-Version-Requirements) merged
its function to CPAN::Meta::Requirements (part of devel/p5-CPAN-Meta).
As a result, devel/p5-Version-Requirements is marked DEPRECATED.
Please run the following commands to update p5-CPAN-Meta and remove
p5-Version-Requirements:
# portmaster -o devel/p5-CPAN-Meta devel/p5-Version-Requirements
# pkg_delete p5-Version-Requirements-\*
20120104:
AFFECTS: users of devel/thrift, py-thrift, php5-thrift, p5-thrift
AUTHOR: scheidell@FreeBSD.org
Users upgrading thrift from 0.6.1, please take note: library structure
and versions have changed, and are not compatible with 0.7.0+
20111231:
AFFECTS: users of lang/newlisp
AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
In lang/newlisp, the MYSQL5 and MYSQL51 options have been unified into
MYSQL, which will pick the correct MySQL version using the standard
MySQL selection logic. MySQL users will have to run "make config" and
select the MYSQL option.
Tinderbox users will have to update their options files with the new
MYSQL option, and possibly change their Tinderbox environment to select
a specific MySQL version.
20111229:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd{-devel,-mysql}
AUTHORS: delphij@FreeBSD.org,mm@FreeBSD.org
Due to the nature of the way FreeBSD-SA-11:07.chroot is implemented,
users have to update to latest -STABLE, -CURRENT, or supported
security branch to use the chroot functionality in these ports.
Please see the security advisory for more details.
20111219:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.14
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.14 has been updated to 5.14.2. You should update everything
that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
"perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.14.
Please see its manual page for details.
If you want to switch to lang/perl5.14 from lang/perl5.{8,10,12} please
follow instructions in the entry 20110517 in this file.
20111205:
AFFECTS: users of ruby-gnome ports
AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org
ruby-gnome has been updated to 1.0.3. Some of them have been removed
since they are no longer included upstream. The meta port is
now x11/ruby-gnome2. To update run the following command:
# portmaster -o x11/ruby-gnome2 x11/ruby-gnome2-all
You may also wish to remove the old ports using:
# portmaster -s
20111130:
AFFECTS: users of dns/nsd
AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org
The database format of nsd.db has changed as of version 3.2.9.
Before you run nsd, you must convert the existing database:
# nsdc rebuild
20111123:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/kopete or net-im/libjingle
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
kopete and libjingle are now depending on a newer oRTP from
linphone-base. To correctly switch to the new port, you need to deinstall
ortp prior to the update:
# pkg_delete -f ortp-\*
20111123:
AFFECTS: users of databases/redis
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The redis configuration file, redis.conf, have been changed, some options
removed in newer versions (>=2.4). In some cases, redis-server with
older configuration might does not run at startup.
If you run into startup problems, re-edit configuration file.
20111101:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kde4-workspace
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
If your KDM fails with the message
'X server "/usr/bin/X" cannot be executed'
you need to delete its configuration file and restart it:
# rm /usr/local/kde4/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
# service kdm4 restart
20111101:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/poppler-gtk
AUTHOR: Koop Mast <kwm@FreeBSD.org>
Poppler was update to 0.18.0, and the gtk slave port was renamed to
match the library it installs. Please run the following command to migrate.
# portmaster -o graphics/poppler-glib poppler-gtk-0.16.7
20111031:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/py-creole
AUTHOR: Stanislav Svirid <count@211.ru>
Some API is changed: replace 'parser_kwargs' and 'emitter_kwargs'
with separate arguments. More information on new API:
http://code.google.com/p/python-creole/wiki/API
20111025:
AFFECTS: users of print/flpsed or www/dillo2
AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org
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.
If you have it installed please run the following to switch to
devel/p5-subversion:
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.
20110929:
AFFECTS: users of net/py-zope.proxy, devel/py-zope.testing and
devel/py-zope.interface
AUTHOR: Ruslan Mahmatkhanov <cvs-src@yandex.ru>
Several Zope ports have been renamed for consistency with their
upstream distributions. Please run the following commands to update
your local installations:
If you use portmaster run:
# portmaster -o devel/py-zope.interface devel/py-zopeInterface
# portmaster -o net/py-zope.proxy net/py-zopeproxy
# portmaster -o devel/py-zope.testing devel/py-zopetesting
If you use portupgrade run:
# portupgrade -o devel/py-zope.interface devel/py-zopeInterface
# portupgrade -o net/py-zope.proxy net/py-zopeproxy
# portupgrade -o devel/py-zope.testing devel/py-zopetesting
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.
There are two workarounds:
1) Set UNAME_r=9.9-CURRENT in your environment
2) Set REVISION="9.9" in ${SRCDIR}/sys/conf/newvers.sh
20110928:
AFFECTS: users of www/nginx-devel
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.ORG
Note: 1.1.4 release introduces several API changes which may affect
third-party modules.
20110925:
AFFECTS: users of lang/python*
AUTHOR: lwhsu@FreeBSD.org
The HUGE_STACK_SIZE option has been removed, now Python will use default
thread stack size of the system. If you want to change it, specify it
with -DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=<size> in CFLAGS.
20110925:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap*
AUTHOR: ume@FreeBSD.org
The security/cyrus-sasl2 was updated to 2.1.25. If the SASL option
is enabled (disabled by default), net/openldap* must be recompiled
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:

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 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
# pw usermod vscan -d /var/maiad

AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-new
AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org
Along with new features and bug fixes, amavisd-new 2.7.0 introduces some
incompatibilities with previous releases. Several variable defaults, SQL
schemas, and other changes warrant a careful review of the RELEASE_NOTES.
Also note that helper programs amavis.c and amavis-milter.c are no longer
distributed with this package; for milter functionality, please shift to
the dedicated security/amavisd-milter port.

AUTHOR: jkim@FreeBSD.org
java/openjdk6 has been updated to b23 and "WEB" option (for web browser
plug-in and Java Web Start) has been deprecated. If you need the same
functionality, rebuild the port with "ICEDTEA" option first, then install
a new port java/icedtea-web with "PLUGIN" option (default). Also, if you
have a symlink to the previous IcedTeaPlugin.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins,
for example, you need to remove it. Note system-wide symlinks are now
automatically created by java/icedtea-web for your convenience.

20110618:
AFFECTS: users of mail/mailscanner
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
mail/mailscanner no longer requires running of any renew-* targets to
update the config files / wrapper scripts; it is now automatically
performed as the port is installed -- these targets have been removed.
As an added bonus, the binary package now performs these steps as well,
in case you don't have a portstree handy.
Before upgrading, please backup your PREFIX/etc/MailScanner,
PREFIX/share/MailScanner and PREFIX/libexec/MailScanner if you
have customised any of these directories, just in case.

p5-Moose distribution. Manual intervention of the update procedure is
required:
# portmaster -o devel/p5-Moose devel/p5-Class-MOP
# portmaster -R -r p5-Moose-\*
or do the same things with portupgrade.
To check everything went fine you can run:
# perl -Moose\ 999
and
# perl -MClass::MOP\ 999
in both cases you should see output:

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:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mariadb
AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org
The mariadb port has been split into -client, -scripts, and -server ports

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/.
20110523:
AFFECTS: users of www/mod_perl2
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
mod_perl2 was updated to version 2.0.5, this version includes

in the latest version.
20110517:
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:

AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-client
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
the library with "FETCH" support, this would cause libldap to depend on
FreeBSD's libfetch.so library.
As of 20110402, a local change have been introduced so OpenLDAP libraries
link against libfetch.so when FETCH is enabled. Normally, no further user
interaction would be required.
For new installations, the FETCH option have been turned off by default.

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-client
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The shared library version of the client library was increased to reflect
ABI changes, and avoid compatibility problems with the client library
in MySQL 5.1, so client programs that use the 5.5 client library should
be recompiled against the 5.5.10 client library.
This can be achieved with:
# portmaster -r mysql-client-5.5
or
# portupgrade -fr mysql-client-5.5
20110318:
AFFECTS: users of www/node and www/node-devel
AUTHOR: araujo@FreeBSD.org
The port www/node was merged with www/node-devel since there is no longer a
development version. Also www/node has not followed the stable upstream
prior to this update.
To keep www/node updated in your applications, from now on you must use
www/node instead of www/node-devel. If you have been using the www/node-devel,
you must run one of the following commands to upgrade:
# portmaster -o www/node www/node-devel

- $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.

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.

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

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 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

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

# 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

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

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

AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org
The default XS-httpd configuration file locations have changed:
The main configuration file is now $PREFIX/etc/xshttpd/httpd.conf

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

AFFECTS: users of devel/llvm-devel who use clang
AUTHOR: Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org>
The clang portion of devel/llvm-devel has been split out and now

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/zfsnap
AUTHOR: Aldis Berjoza <aldis@bsdroot.lv>
Since timestamp format changed you need to use -o option with -d
option in order to be able to delete old snapshots. Note however that
you don't need -o when creating new snapshots, unless you want to keep
using the old timestamp format.
See http://wiki.bsdroot.lv/zfsnap for more info.

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.

AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org
nvidia-driver does not install vdpau library and headers anymore, they

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

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

portmaster -o www/neon29 www/neon28
portmaster -r neon29-
Portupgrade user:
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o www/neon29 -f neon28-\*

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 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,

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

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

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

AFFECTS: users of mail/nullmailer on FreeBSD 6.X
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
The nullmailer port was recently updated with an rc.d script to correctly
daemonize nullmailer-send with daemon(8). On FreeBSD 6.X, daemon(8) does
not support "[-u user]" command-line switch, causing the nullmailer rc.d
script failure to start nullmailer-send.
Support for "[-u user]" command-line switch was recently MFC'd to 6-STABLE
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/146266). FreeBSD 6.X users
should patch and install daemon(8) by one of the methods described below.
If /usr/src is not yet populated, csup the 6-STABLE sources and run these
commands:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/daemon
make install
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nullmailer start
If /usr/src is already populated with sources from a previous 6.X release,
use these commands:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/daemon
fetch 'http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/pr-links/daemon/patch-daemon.c'
fetch 'http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/pr-links/daemon/patch-daemon.8'
patch -p0 daemon.c < patch-daemon.c
patch -p0 daemon.8 < patch-daemon.8
make install
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nullmailer start

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

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

AFFECTS: users of net/dgd
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
The kernel library has been separated from the main net/dgd port into its
own net/dgd-kernel port so that all libraries are on an equal footing.
This also reflects the split of the kernel library out from the main DGD
distribution.
If you wish to continue to use the kernel library you'll need to install
net/dgd-kernel after updating to dgd-1.4.1_2.

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

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

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\*) ...

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-

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

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

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

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

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

AFFECTS: users of astro/celestia and KDE
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
Celestia can now be compiled with KDE3 frontend (you can enable it with
CELESTIA_UI=kde when building). It is very feature-rich, as it offers

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon*, x11/kdebase4*, deskutils/kdepim4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE4 has been updated to version 4.3.0. KDE now uses qt4-phonon;
multimedia/phonon and multimedia/phonon-gstreamer are deprecated in
favor of their qt4 equivalents. You can still use multimedia/phonon-xine
however. A number of files have been moved between packages. The
recommended update procedure is to delete phonon, phonon-gstreamer,
kdebase-*4*, kdepim-4*, then update ports as usual and install desired
KDE4 ports:
# pkg_delete -f phonon-4\* phonon-gstreamer\* kdebase-\*4\* kdepim-4\*

portmaster -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.

multimedia/mlt.
20090613:
AFFECTS: users of www/hudson
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
Hudson is now running as a standalone process and no longer relies on
Apache Tomcat. As such, it should now be configured by defining
hudson_* variables in rc.conf. See comments from rc.d script for further
details.
The default setup is using the same port numbers and HTTP URL prefix as
before in order to reduce the effort of upgrading the port. Hence, it
may conflict with some running Apache Tomcat instance. To fix this
problem, you may either deinstall www/tomcat6, or use the following
settings in hudson_args from /etc/rc.conf:
--httpPort=??? --ajp13Port=???
20090611:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache22
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Two rc.d scripts have been renamed:
apache22.sh -> apache22
htcacheclean.sh -> htcacheclean
You'll need to update any crons wrappers, etc. for the new paths.
20090608:
AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-*
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default version of Python has been changed from 2.5.x to 2.6.x.
If you have 2.5.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python25 to
lang/python26 with one of the following commands:
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o lang/python26 lang/python25
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o lang/python26 lang/python25
If you want to retain 2.5.x as default Python version, set the
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' (without quotes) in
/etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following
command:
# portupgrade -R python
Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using the
method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new
Python version.
If using portupgrade:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
If using portmaster:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER
The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of
cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).
This is not the fault of portmaster.
20090606:
AFFECTS: users of java/eclipse
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
The update to 3.4.2 changes the location of the metadata for eclipse to
be more in line with what is used on other platforms. This means that
after the update plugins that have been installed by a user with the
built in Update Manager will need to be reinstalled.
20090605:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org
Version 2.6.1 introduced a POLA violation by expecting aliases.db to be
in /etc/mail/aliases.db (not /etc/aliases.db). With this version the
location is reverted to the right place.
If you updated your installation to 2.6.1 you need to run newaliases(1)
again after you installed 2.6.2.
20090603:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/font-mplus-ipa (and old japanese/ipa-ttfonts)
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
IPAUIGothic has been updated to a version included in IPA font
version 002.03 and added as a separated port
"japanese/font-ipa-uigothic". And the font-mplus-ipa has been
updated to remove the old IPAUIGothic.
Thus the old ipa-ttfonts is almost equivalent to font-ipa +
font-ipa-uigothic + font-mplus-ipa. Note that these three packages
have different licenses from each other.
20090601:
AFFECTS: users of devel/cvs-devel
AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org
cvs-devel no longer installs /bin/cvs and /bin/cvsbug. These are now

viewvc.conf and templates are not compatible to 1.0.x version, even the
database scripts have changed. For details see:
http://viewvc.tigris.org/source/browse/*checkout*/viewvc/trunk/docs/upgrading-howto.html
20090530:
AFFECTS: users of Japanese and Chinese fonts
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
Ports for Japanese fonts have been reorganized in the following way:
japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-mplus-ipa
japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-ipa
japanese/kochi-ttfonts -> japanese/font-kochi
japanese/mplusfonts -> japanese/font-mplus
japanese/sazanami-ttf -> japanese/font-sazanami
japanese/shinonome -> japanese/font-shinonome
japanese/umefont -> japanese/font-ume
japanese/vlgothic -> japanese/font-vlgothic
While basically these are port name changes for consistency,
installation directories are also changed:
font files -> ${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME}/*
symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/{TTF,OTF,fontname,...}/*
symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/{TTF,OTF,misc,fontname,...}/*
A user-visible one is that the directory name "TrueType" is replaced
with "TTF".
Also, japanese/font-std and chinese/font-std have been added as
standard fonts used in the Ports Collection. Currently they
contain:
std.ja_JP/Mincho
std.ja_JP/Gothic
std.ja_JP/Ryumin-Light
std.ja_JP/GothicBBB-Medium
std.zh_CN/STHeiti-Regular
std.zh_CN/STSong-Light
std.zh_CN/MSung-Light
std.zh_CN/MHei-Medium
under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/. They are just symlinks to
corresponding font files. The symlink names are based on popular
PostScript font names.
Applications should refer the font files via XLFD or fontconfig
first. If they need a direct reference to the font file, please use
files in std.*/*. This is because direct reference to a specific
font name in an application configuration file makes the maintenance
difficult when the font file name is changed, for example.
20090516:
AFFECTS: users of devel/viewvc
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
OPTION APACHE2 has been changed to APACHE (WITH_APACHE)

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

AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
After version 0.95 clamav-milter does not accept parameters by command

20090318:
AFFECTS: users of www/suphp
AUTHOR: yzlin@cs.nctu.edu.tw
The suPHP port has been upgraded to 0.7.x. This new version of suPHP has
some new features and changes for the configuration file:
- Multiple path (with patterns) & variable substitution support for
docroots
- Double-quoted strings at section '[handlers]'
ex. application/x-httpd-php="php:/usr/local/bin/php-cgi"
These changes may lead to internal server error if without modifications
of the configuration file from previous version.
20090316:
AFFECTS: users of www/geeklog
AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
To follow the standards this port has received a small reworking.
WWW_DIR (that defaulted to PREFIX/www/data/geeklog) is deprecated,

20090316:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd
AUTHOR: skylord@linkline.ru
ejabberd's UID and GID have changed (PR ports/105122). Users are advised
to check all configuration files and data in /var/spool/ejabberd to
ensure everything has the correct owner/group.
20090316:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/lire
AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org
Lire now requires DBD::SQLite, which uses SQLite 3.0. This means that the
Lire database format has changed. If you have one or more old Lire stores,
you will need to convert each of them from SQLite2 format to SQLite3 like
this:
$ sqlite oldstore.db .dump | sqlite3 newstore.db
This assumes that you have both SQLite2 and SQLite3 installed on your
system, and that the names of the command line interface for the old and
new version are `sqlite' and `sqlite3' respectively (this is at least
correct for Fedora).
20090310:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mythtv
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
The upgrade from version 0.20 to version 0.21 should be transparent.
Any changes to the database structure should be applied automatically.
However, it is strongly recommended that you back up your database before
installing a new version of MythTV.
For example:
$ mysqldump -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg -c > mythtv_backup.sql
To restore (assuming that you've dropped the database):
$ mysql -u root
mysql>create database mythconverg;
mysql>exit
$ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg < mythtv_backup.sql
20090309:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libusb on CURRENT
AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org
FreeBSD libusb20 was renamed to libusb in r189585 and thus, being fully
compatible with libusb20, replaces devel/libusb on HEAD. devel/libusb
should not be used on these systems. Users of libusb-dependent ports
are advised to remove libusb package from their systems, and rebuild all
libusb dependencies. One of the possible ways to achieve this is
listed below:
# set tempfile=`mktemp /tmp/usbports.XX`
# pkg_info -qR /var/db/pkg/libusb-* > ${tempfile}
# pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/libusb-*
# cat ${tempfile} | xargs portupgrade -f
# rm -f ${tempfile}
20090309:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
multimedia/phonon port has been split into phonon itself, phonon-xine,
and phonon-gstreamer backends. After updating phonon port you have
to install at least one backend; phonon-xine backend is recommended
for KDE.
20090308:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu
AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to 0.10.0, which now uses the newer
(incompatible) kqemu-kmod-devel port that now also works for the
32 bit "qemu" executable on amd64. If you upgrade emulators/qemu
with the KQEMU knob on, you have to
# pkg_delete kqemu-kmod-1\*
the old kqemu version first if it is installed.
20090304:
AFFECTS: users of comms/py-gammu
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org

20090304:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
When upgrading from Xfce 4.4 to 4.6 make sure you uninstall the following
ports:
x11/libxfce4mcs
sysutils/xfce4-mcs-manager
sysutils/xfce4-mcs-plugins
x11-themes/xfce4-icon-theme
You may uninstall them before you start the upgrade procedure (preferred)
or even afterwards when the upgrade went fine.
Please also note that Xfce 4.6 does not come with an icon theme any more.
Xfce 4.6 now depends on the Tango theme which is now installed by default.
The default installation of Xfce is also adjusted to use this icon theme
instead of the Xfce 4.4 standard Rodent theme. If you are upgrading from
Xfce 4.4 to 4.6 you probably still have the Rodent theme selected. This
will lead to several "missing" icons when starting up Xfce.
Make sure to switch as well to the Tango theme. To do this just open the
Settings Manager and select Appearance. Inside the Appearance dialog
switch to the Icons tab and select the "Tango" entry in the list on the
left side of the Icons tab.
For enabling the Reboot/Shutdown functionality of Xfce's logout dialog
please read the note which gets printed out after the installation of
x11-wm/xfce4 about how to configure PolicyKit.
20090223:
AFFECTS: users of Tcl/Tk
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The default version of Tcl/Tk has been changed from 8.4 to 8.5.
To restore old behavior and prefer using Tcl 8.4 with supported ports set
WITH_TCL_VER=84 in /etc/make.conf. This has no effect on ports that have
USE_TCL=yes or USE_TK=yes. They stick to the new default version and have
to be updated by their maintainers to support other versions than default.
20090218:
AFFECTS: users of www/zend-framework
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
A local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability was fixed in Zend Framework
1.7.5. The LFI was present in the Zend_View::render() method, and
allowed inclusion of scripts with relative path names, e.g.
"../../../my/script/dir/myscript.php".
If the script path name is hard-coded into the application and is not
generated by user input, the vulnerability does not apply. Because of
this exception, the Zend Framework team has added a flag to disable
the LFI protection in the render() method.
Full details of the vulnerability, whether it applies to your
application and how to disable the LFI protection in the render()
method can be found here:

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.

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

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

After successful update you could install kdebase4-runtime if it has not
been installed during update process.
20090114:
AFFECTS: users of GNOME and GTK+
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
GNOME has been updated to 2.24.x. You have to deinstall a few ports
first before using portupgrade or portmaster in order to successfully
upgrade your GNOME installation. After successful upgrade, you have
to reinstall gnome-session so the gnome.desktop session file is properly
installed.
Portupgrade users:
# pkgdb -Ff
(Answer "yes" to unregister gail while keeping gtk20.)
(Answer "yes" to unregister fast-user-switch-applet while
keeping gdm.)
# pkg_deinstall -fO gtkmm-2.12\*

AFFECTS: users of mail/claws-mail*
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
claws-mail has been updated to 3.7.0, with this update OpenSSL support
has been removed by upstream in favour of GnuTLS. GnuTLS is now enabled
by default. Themes were have also been split to an extra port which
your can find under x11-themes/claws-mail-themes. Menu was rewritten
entirely in version 3.6.0 using modern GTK interface; as a consequence,
all your custom shortcuts will be lost after upgrade.
20090109:
AFFECTS: users of any Mozilla and Opera products
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The Java plugins now will no longer be picked up by automatically from
these browsers. Because all Java ports share the name of plugins file,
I am thinking about someone or maybe me will need to write something
similar to nspluginwrapper (but in shell script) that can add Java plugin
in ~/.*/plugins/ when user requests one specific version of Java plugin
if this user has more than one version of Java installed. However, for
now, you will have to add Java plugin in ~/.*/plugins/ manually.
20090107:
AFFECTS: users of databases/unixODBC
AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org
The databases/unixODBC port has been updated to 2.2.14. While
containing many bug fixes and minor feature adjustments, this version
no longer ships with the (obsolete) MySQL ODBC driver. MySQL ODBC
driver users will probably want to use databases/mysql-connector-odbc
instead. The text-backed/flatfile driver (libtxtodbc) has also been
removed by the developers but due to some demand may make a return in
a future version or as a separate port.
20090107:
AFFECTS: users of security/libgcrypt

20081228:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/kinput2
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The Wnn backend of japanese/kinput2 port now uses unix domain socket
to communicate the server by default. If $JSERVER environment
variable is defined, the value is used as the server host name. In
In short, the server name is determined in the following way:
$JSERVER --(if null)--> CcWnn.Jserver --(if null)--> "localhost"
If the server host name is null or matches "^unix$", unix domain
socket is used. Note that the default server name in CcWnn.Jserver
is "unix" now.
20081226:
AFFECTS: users of www/rt*
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
www/rt2 www/rt3 www/rt32 www/rt34 are now deprecated and will expire

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

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.

AFFECTS: users of editors/tamago
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The Wnn backend of editors/tamago port now uses unix domain socket

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

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

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/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!

AUTHOR: Martin Tournoij <carpetsmoker@rwxrwxrwx.net>
GPRename configuration files now live ~/.config/gprename instead of ~/, to
upgrade use the following commands:
% mkdir -p ~/.config/gprename
% mv ~/.gprename ~/.config/gprename/gprename
% mv ~/.gprename_log ~/.config/gprename/gprename_log
20080717:
AFFECTS: users of devel/anjuta
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Anjuta's neon dependency has been switched from neon26 to neon28. The
two are incompatible, so you will need to do the following to upgrade:
portupgrade -o www/neon28 neon26
portupgrade anjuta
20080714:
AFFECTS: users of www/squid
AUTHOR: Thomas-Martin Seck <tmseck@web.de>
www/squid has been updated to Squid 2.7.STABLE3.
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
this port *twice* in order to get the library dependency right.
20080711:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox2
AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul <beech@FreeBSD.org>
The port has been deprecated and gtkdatabox has been updated. This was
done so the port tracks vendor name. Please update by doing:
portupgrade -o x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox2
20080709:
AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki
AUTHOR: Henrik Brix Andersen <brix@FreeBSD.org>
The IkiWiki editpage form now uses the raw page name, not the page title,
in its `page' CGI parameter. You will need to rebuild any existing
IkiWiki installations in order to update their `edit' links to the new
format.
20080708:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu-devel
AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to a 20080620 SVN snapshot, which uses the
new (incompatible) kqemu-kmod-devel port that now also works for the
32 bit "qemu" executable on amd64. If you upgrade qemu-devel with the
KQEMU knob on, you have to
# pkg_delete kqemu-kmod-1\*
the old kqemu version first if it is installed.
20080705:
AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki
AUTHOR: Henrik Brix Andersen <brix@FreeBSD.org>
The IkiWiki search plug-in now uses www/xapian-omega as backend instead
of textproc/hyperestraier. You will need to update the configuration of
any search enabled IkiWiki installations and rebuild them since the
search form has changed.
20080704:
AFFECTS: users of misc/shared-mime-info
AUTHOR: FreeBSD GNOME Team <gnome@FreeBSD.org>
The misc/shared-mime-info has been updated to 0.40. The Mime Types caches
have been changed a bit. If you have created any custom MIME types, you
will need to run update-mime-database to update your local Mime Types
caches:
$ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
20080702:
AFFECTS: users of irc/ratbox-services
AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul <beech@FreeBSD.org>
Configuration file and database changes have been made between the
1.1.x series and the current release version of ratbox-services.
It is highly recommended that services are stopped, and the proper
upgrade procedure is followed as described in port's documentation,
before restarting newly updated ratbox-services again.
Please remember to backup the database before attempting an
upgrade, as incorrectly upgraded database may be rendered unusable.
The ratbox-services-1.2.x branch implements multi-language support.
However, an inconsistency in the language indexing may result in
errors. It is therefore recommended that the English default to be
used until the next version release.
20080702:
AFFECTS: users of mail/nocc
AUTHOR: Alex Dupre <ale@FreeBSD.org>
The Nocc configuration file has been moved into 'config' subdir.
When updating, remove the old conf.php file and reconfigure Nocc.
20080701:
AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion*
AUTHOR: Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
subversion now uses neon-0.28.x (www/neon28) port, and automatic
portupgrade will fail because www/neon28 will conflict with installed
www/neon26 port.
You should upgrade neon library before subversion with the command:
# portupgrade -o www/neon28 neon26
Also, if you use any special subversion ports with bindings, you
should upgrade these ports to clean subversion port with
# portupgrade -o devel/subversion subversion-\*
and install needed bindings (p5-subversion, py-subversion and/or
ruby-subversion) after that.
If you use subversion with bindings installed from devel/subversion
with custom options, don't forget to install separate bindings ports
after subversion upgrade.
20080630:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/cairo, graphics/poppler*, and future users of www/firefox3
AUTHOR: FreeBSD GNOME Team <gnome@FreeBSD.org>
The poppler* ports have been updated to 0.8.3 and the shared libraries
have changed. Firefox 3.0 has been added to the tree as www/firefox3.
These changes require that all dependent ports be updated. You can do
this in one of two ways:
# portmaster pixman
# portmaster \*cairo\*
# portmaster -r poppler-0
or:
# pkgdb -Ff
# portupgrade pixman\* \*cairo\*
# portupgrade -r poppler-0.\*
20080627:
AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati
AUTHOR: Jung-uk Kim <jkim@FreeBSD.org>
mach64 and r128 drivers are now separated out from the ati driver.
These video cards are supported by x11-drivers/xf86-video-mach64
and x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128 respectively. If you have one of
the affected video cards and xorg.conf contains the following line:
Driver "ati"
you must specify "mach64" or "r128". Alternatively, you may install
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati to get a wrapper driver.
20080626:
AFFECTS: users of science/gramps
AUTHOR: Anders Troback <freebsd@troback.com>
Before you upgrade from 2.x to 3.x you need to export your existing
databases to a GRAMPS XML file. After the upgrade you can import
them into the new version.
20080624:
AFFECTS: users of irc/ircd-ratbox-devel
AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul <beech@FreeBSD.org>
Upgrading between different beta releases can cause problems when
changes to the ban database schema have occurred. The 'bantool'
utility now comes with a -u switch that will check and update the
ban database as necessary.
Issuing 'bantool -u' is required when upgrading between beta releases
and must not be done while the ircd is running.
20080624:
AFFECTS: users of www/mod_security
AUTHOR: Marcelo Araujo <araujo@FreeBSD.org>
The mod_security port has been updated from 1.9.4 to 2.5.5. Branch 1.9.x

AFFECTS: users of www/opera and www/opera/devel
AUTHOR: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@FreeBSD.org>
The Opera port has been updated from 9.2x to 9.5x. A lot of things have
been changed such as keyboard shortcuts[1]; new storage and indexing
formats for mail and feeds; new search.ini; native amd64 binaries; no 4.x
support. You will be asked whether to convert mail and feeds to new
format during start up. Warning: there is no way to downgrade back to
the old format. Be sure to see the Changelog[2].

AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion, subversion-devel and subversion-freebsd
with apr from www/apache22
AUTHOR: Clement Laforet <clement@FreeBSD.org>
apr and apr-util bundled with apache 2.2.9 have been upgraded to 1.3.x, so
shared libraries' versions have been bumped. If you are using subversion
with apache22 apr, you must rebuild subversion after the update.
20080617:
AFFECTS: users of editors/nvi-devel
AUTHOR: Wesley Shields <wxs@FreeBSD.org>
editors/nvi-devel has been changed to install nvi, nex, and nview as
to not conflict with editors/2bsd-vi. Please note the new names if
you use this port.
20080616:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dkim-milter
AUTHOR: Hirohisa Yamaguchi <umq@ueo.co.jp>
Most of the command line options can now be set in configure files.
So the default values (such as milterdkim_socket) are changed to blank.
Upgrading users should check the values both in rc.conf and
dkim-filter.conf.
20080612:
AFFECTS: users of www/linux-opera
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The Opera port has been updated from 9.2x to 9.5x. A lot of things have
been changed such as keyboard shortcuts[1]; new storage and indexing
formats for mail and feeds; new search.ini; probably more that I have
missed. I do not know if the keyboard shortcuts and search.ini will be
overwritten. You will be asked whether you want mail and feeds to be
converted to new format during start up. Warning: there is no way to
downgrade back to the old format. Be sure to see the Changelog[2].
[1] http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/884/
[2] http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/linux/950/
It is probably best for you to back up your linux-opera directory in
case until you have no problem with new Opera for a while. Also, you
might have to re-configure search and keyboard shortcuts if these were
overwritten:
# cp -Rp ~/.linux-opera ~/.linux-opera-bak
If you are seeing an error of undefined symbols related to GTK+, it is
because it needs newer linux-gtk2 that ports doesn't have. You can enter
'opera:config#FileSelector|DialogToolkit' in the address bar and change
from 0 to 1 in 'Dialog Toolkit' if it annoys you. 0 = auto detection,
1 = QT, and 2 = GTK+.
20080610:
AFFECTS: users of mail/svnmailer
AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org
Some of the config directives and sections allowed have changed. You will
have to edit your config file when updating to 1.1.0-dev-r1373 version of
the port. Please see the following URL for more information:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/deluge
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

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.

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.

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

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