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 net-mgmt/zabbix
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
Users who start zabbix server should note that server name was changed
from zabbix_suckerd to zabbix_server and a variable in /etc/rc.conf
should be changed accordingly.
20060904:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba3
AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org
Reviosion of Samba 3.0.23c port had changed location of the directory,
where Samba stores it's smbpasswd files from $PREFIX/private to a more
common $PREFIX/etc/samba.
You need to move *.tdb files from an old to new location and remove old
directory if you use tdbsam backend for Samba user authentication.
Starting with the 3.0.23c release, the officially supported passdb
backends (smbpasswd, tdbsam, and ldapsam) now operate identically with
regards to the historical RID algorithm for unmapped users and groups
(i.e. accounts not in the passdb or group mapping table). The resulting
behavior is that all unmapped users are resolved to a SID in the
S-1-22-1 domain and all unmapped groups resolve to a SID in the S-1-22-2
domain. Previously, when using the smbpasswd passdb, such users and
groups would resolve to an algorithmic SID in the machine's own domain
(S-1-5-XX-XX-XX). However, the smbpasswd backend still utilizes the RID
algorithm when creating new user accounts or allocating a RID for a new
group mapping entry.
With the changes in the 3.0.23c release, it is now possible to resolve
a uid/gid, name, or SID in any direction and always obtain a symmetric
mapping. This is important so that values for smb.conf parameters such
as "valid users" resolve to the same SIDs as those included in the
local user's initial token.
20060902:
AFFECTS: users of japanese/uim-anthy and japanese/uim-canna
AUTHOR: nobutaka@freebsd.org
Input modes for uim-anthy and uim-canna are reorganized since version 1.2.0.
Please re-configure the following keybindings with uim-pref.
- off key

The name of binary, datadir and docsdir have been renamed from ldcpp to
linuxdcpp by the linuxdcpp developer.
20060831:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/fluxbox-devel
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The prefix has been changed, the fluxbox-devel now lives in LOCALBASE. You
will need to download the fluxbox_prefix.sh script and run it as in your
normal users that have ~/.fluxbox. The script only will replace old path to
the new path; it does not affect on anything else.
$ fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/script/fluxbox_prefix.sh
$ sh fluxbox_prefix.sh
It will creating a backup of ~/.fluxbox to ~/.fluxbox-bak. If everything
work fine, then you can remove ~/.fluxbox-bak. If you have the different
default of LOCALBASE and X11BASE, you can edit it in fluxbox_prefix.sh.
20060831:
AFFECTS: users of games/warzone
AUTHOR: alepulver@FreeBSD.org
games/warzone port directory was renamed back to games/warzone2100 because
the last version (2.0.4) uses the original name.
20060830:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/p5-Senna
AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org
This version (0.50) of p5-Senna module breaks some compatibilities
with the previous versions.
20060828:
AFFECTS: users of devel/gpc
AUTHOR: mi+mx@aldan.algebra.com
devel/gpc port directory was renamed to devel/libgpc to avoid conflicting
with lang/gpc.
20060828:
AFFECTS: users of games/warzone2100
AUTHOR: alepulver@FreeBSD.org
games/warzone2100 port directory was renamed to games/warzone to match
the port distfile and data directory.
20060827:
AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce
AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org
Perforce has been updated to version 2006.1. As usual, there has
been significant schema upgrades, so even though upgrading to
2006.1 is straightforward, it is still highly recommended to
follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes:
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.061/user/relnotes.txt
20060818:
AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-server or net/isc-dhcp3-relay
AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de
Starting with version 3.0.5rc1 of the ISC DHCPD package, any running
"dhcpd" or "dhcrelay" processes are stopped automatically when the port
gets deinstalled.
Please remember to start the services again manually, in case you upgrade
from version 3.0.5rc1 or newer to any other version.
Due to the better use of the USE_RC_SUBR framework, the rc script name may
change from isc-dhcpd.sh or isc-dhcrelay.sh to isc-dhcpd or isc-dhcrelay
depending on the FreeBSD version you use.
20060818:
AFFECTS: users of www/gallery2
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default install location has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/gallery2 to ${PREFIX}/www/gallery2.
20060818:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut
AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de
Starting with nut-2.0.4, the megatec UPS driver has been backported from
the development tree. Users of the following UPS drivers (powermust, blazer,
fentonups, mustek, esupssmart, ippon, sms, masterguard) are encouraged to
switch to the megatec UPS driver, which should replace all these drivers
by nut-2.2 .
For more information, please refer to ${LOCALBASE}/share/doc/nut/megatec.txt
20060815:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba3
AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org
Since Samba 3.0.8, it has been recommended that all domain accounts
listed in smb.conf on a member server be fully qualified with the
domain name. This is now a requirement. All unqualified names are
assumed to be local to the Unix host, either as part of the server's
local passdb or in the local system list of accounts (e.g. /etc/passwd
or /etc/group).
If the member server is not running winbindd at all, domain
accounts will be implicitly mapped to local accounts and their
tokens will be modified appropriately to reflect the local
SID and group membership.
20060804:
AFFECTS: users of editors/jedit-devel
AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org
Starting with jEdit 4.3pre6, jedit-devel now requires Java 1.5+ to be
installed due to new features and classes used by the package. If you
cannot install or use Java 1.5, you will need to stay with jEdit 4.2.
20060802:
AFFECTS: users of www/linux-opera
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The prefix has been changed, linux-opera now lives in LOCALBASE. Be sure to
go in ~/.linux-opera/ and open a few of *.ini files to change all of this
from "/usr/X11R6/share/linux-opera" to "/usr/local/share/linux-opera". Most
of editors have 'search and replace' option, so use it or just use sed.
20060801:
AFFECTS: users of www/b2evolution
AUTHOR: chinsan.tw@gmail.com
The default install location has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/b2evolution to ${PREFIX}/www/b2evolution.
20060801:
AFFECTS: users of audio/libtunepimp and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org
libtunepimp has been updated to 0.5. But it breaks some ports depend
on it such as audio/juk and audio/amarok. To fix this kind of problem,
try to install audio/libtunepimp-old, which is previous version of
audio/libtunepimp.
20060731:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/GraphicsMagick
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
In order to fix a symbol collision between GraphicsMagick and libtidy,
GraphicsMagick has been updated so that all its symbols are now prefixed with
'Gm'. Consequently, all dependencies should be upgraded when you perform this
upgrade with this command :
portupgrade -rf graphics/GraphicsMagick
20060729:
AFFECTS: users of net/nss_ldap
AUTHOR: tmclaugh@sdf.lonestar.org
The krb5_ccname option in ldap.conf has been fixed in the port so that it
now works. Please be aware of this when updating if you have it in your
config and are using GSSAPI when use_sasl is enabled. Using GSSAPI with a
misconfigured krb5_ccname combined with one of the 'hard' bind_policy
options can effectively lockout users.
20060728:
AFFECTS: users of polish/ekg and polish/ibgadu
AUTHOR: mwisnicki+freebsd@gmail.com
If you have installed both ekg-1.6,2 and libgadu-20051229_1 then you should
first deinstall them and install polish/ekg after that, eg:
pkg_deinstall -f pl-ekg-\* pl-libgadu-\*
portinstall polish/ekg
20060723:
AFFECTS: users of www/dillo-i18n
AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de
Starting with version 20060709 the i18n version of Dillo encodes
the bookmark file using UTF-8 encoding. You can try to convert
your existing bookmark file with the bm-update script or you could
try to convert it by hand using iconv(1) from you current locale
to UTF-8, e.g. by calling 'iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 ~/.dillo/bm.txt'.
Please see the iconv documentation for further details.
20060722:
AFFECTS: users of games/phpua-*
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default install location has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/phpua-* to ${PREFIX}/www/phpua-*.
20060719:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org
mail/postfix was updated to 2.3.0 and does no longer support POSTIX_OPTIONS,
please consider using "make config" to set your OPTIONS. The SPF patch was
removed since this does not apply cleanly and has problems when using
pipe(8). Consider using mail/postfix-policyd-spf instead of the SPF patch.
If you need the Postfix 2.2 version you can find this in mail/postfix22.
20060715:
AFFECTS: users of Aspell or its versions bundled with dictionaries
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
Since aspell-0.60.4_4, all dictionaries can be installed separately:
- by default, textproc/aspell installs the English dictionaries (no
change);
- thereafter you can install any foreign dictionary;
- when you install a foreign dictionary, i.e. french/aspell or
textproc/da-aspell, it installs only the dictionaries, and depends
upon textproc/aspell for the programs;
- if you don't need the English dictionaries, you can define
WITHOUT_DICTEN or install textproc/aspell-without-dicten.
20060714:
AFFECTS: users of security/krb5
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
As of MIT KRB5 1.5, Kerberos no longer supports static linking nor
do the static libraries build. The reason for this is that KRB5 1.5
implements plugins to implement functions. GSS-API is now implemented
as a function. As such, the MIT Kerberos team has yet to implement
plugins using static libraries. Users requiring static libraries or
statically linked binaries are advised not to upgrade to this release
until MIT provides a solution for statically linked binaries.
20060714:
AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki
AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org
www/mediawiki version is 1.7 now. 1.6 version was preserved on
www/mediawiki16 port.
20060713:
AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/terminus-font
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
Since version 4.20, terminus-font changed place to install fonts to
${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/terminus-font, please, add this new path to your
font paths.
20060711:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba3
AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org
Starting from version 3.0.23 Samba no longer supports experimental
SQL and XML passdb backends. If you need this functionality, please
visit http://pdbsql.sourceforge.net/ (port is coming soon).
The default mapping entries for groups such as "Domain Admins" are
no longer created when using an smbpasswd file or a tdbsam passdb
backend. Use 'net groupmap add' rather than 'net groupmap modify'
to set these entries.
A substring matching rule has been added to the sambaSID attribute
definition. For OpenLDAP servers, this will require the addition
of 'index sambaSID sub' to the slapd.conf configuration file. It
will be necessary to run slapindex after making this change. There
has been no change to actual data storage schema.
20060711:
AFFECTS: users of games/linux-ut
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org, sean-freebsd@farley.org
Some fixes for network play were done in UnrealTournament.ini
There are two ways to fix it:
1. The easy way is to remove the ${HOME}/.loki/ut directory, yet all
local settings will be lost.
2. The hard way: in ${HOME}/.loki/ut/UnrealTrounament.ini, under the
[Core.System] section, SavePath, CachePath and multiple Paths
variables should be replaced with the ones in (and in the same order
as) ${PREFIX}/share/linux-ut/System/UnrealTournament.ini.
20060707:
AFFECTS: users of www/lifetype
AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org
The default install location has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/lifetype to ${PREFIX}/www/lifetype.
20060706:
AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org
gnutls has been updated to 1.4.0 and all shared libraries' versions
have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that
depend on gnutls. Do something like:
portupgrade -rf gnutls
20060703:
AFFECTS: users of audio/amarok
AUTHOR: mich@FreeBSD.org
A bunch of port options have been removed, so you should remove your
current options, before attempting to build the port.
- Enter the amarok port directory, and run `make rmconfig'
20060703:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
Because portupgrade had a problem with detecting Berkley DB version 2
or newer, and the default database format is now set to use these
versions, you can end up with a portupgrade that does not work with
older databases. A quick fix is to remove the databases, type:
'rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX*.db'.
portupgrade will recreate them automatically. It does absolutely no harm.
If you do not want remove the databases, you should detect what database
type do you use, and set the port options for portupgrade accordingly.
Follow these instructions:
- run 'pkgdb -fu' *before* upgrading and take a look on the output.
You can see database format there as: format:XXX, where XXX is your
current database format.
- Go to portupgrade port directory and configure the port with
`make config' command. If you have bdb_* format, then turn on the BDB4
option. If you have bdb1_* format, then turn off BDB4 and turn on
the BDB1 option. If you have dbd_hash format, then turn off all options.
- Upgrade portupgrade.
Note: if you change database format with changing port options,
you should remove the ruby-bdb* port that you don't need anymore.
Alternatively, you can hard code database format in your pkgtools.conf.
20060702:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/handbrake
AUTHOR: multimedia@FreeBSD.org
The GTK+2 version in the 0.7.x has been disabled by the author, because it
does not work anymore. If you still want to keep with GTK+2 version, go
with multimedia/handbrake-gtk2 (still 0.6.x) instead. The name of binary
has been renamed to handbrake-gtk2 too.
20060701:
AFFECTS: users of www/phpbb
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default install location has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/phpbb to ${PREFIX}/www/phpbb.
20060629:
AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki
AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org
The default install location has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data-dist/mediawiki to ${PREFIX}/www/mediawiki.
20060624:
AFFECTS: users of audio/mt-daapd
AUTHOR: alex@foxybanana.com
The default database directory has been changed to /var/db/mt-daapd. The
default mp3 dir has been changed to ${PREFIX}/share/mt-daapd. Old
configuration files will be maintained, if present, so no updating should
be required.
20060624:
AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent-devel and net/py-bittorrent-core-devel
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
This version has been specially patched to enable
launchmany-{console,curses}. This is experimental.
20060624:
AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent and net/py-bittorrent-core
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
launchmany-{console,curses} do not work under this version.
20060622:
AFFECTS: users of www/dokuwiki
AUTHOR: miwi@freebsd.org
The default install location has changed from
${PREFIX}/www/data/dokuwiki to ${PREFIX}/www/dokuwiki.
20060622:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-client
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
MySQL version 5.0 is now the default. If you have only the client
port, you can upgrade all ports with:
portupgrade -rfo databases/mysql50-client mysql-client
20060616:
AFFECTS users of all pfpro ports
AUTHOR: aaron@FreeBSD.org
The default certificate location has been changed to respect hier(7).
The new default location is LOCALBASE/etc/pfpro/certs.
20060616:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22{,-sasl}-client
AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP version 2.3 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do
portupgrade -rfo net/openldap23-client openldap-client
(or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to
upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=22' to /etc/make.conf.
20060616:
AFFECTS users of emulation/linux_base-*
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
We now use Fedora Core 4 as the linux base port, and the corresponding
xorg libs for the linux X11 libs port.
To upgrade you have to run
portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\*
portupgrade -f -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs
You need to make sure that you have not changed the sysctl
compat.linux.osrelease. FC4 behaves differently depending on the
content of this sysctl. Only the default value of this sysctl is
supported. In case of problems also revert to the default of the
compat.linux.osname if changed.
In case "printenv | grep LD_" prints something, e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or LD_PRELOAD, you have to make sure it is not set when starting
linux programs, else FreeBSD libraries will be picked up and the
programs do not start.
After this start a linux program to test, e.g., acroread. If you get
errors when starting linux programs about problems with libraries, and
you made sure no LD_* variable is set as described above, you are one of
those unlucky people where we do not have a better solution as to tell
you to deinstall every linux port, remove /compat/linux completely to
make sure no cruft is left and reinstall everything you need.
20060612:
AFFECTS: users of editors/staroffice60, editors/staroffice70 and
german/staroffice70
AUTHOR: erwin@FreeBSD.org
The USE_CDROM knob was renamed to WITH_CDROM for consistency
within the ports tree.
20060611:
AFFECTS: users of www/c-icap
AUTHOR: b3k@mail.ru
The format of file c-icap.magic has changed. If you use your own
c-icap.magic file remember to convert it to the new format. It can be done
using the convert_old_magic.pl script located in the contrib directory.
20060605:
AFFECTS: users of net/kdenetwork3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The KDE multi-protocol instant messenger, Kopete, has been moved out
of the net/kdenetwork3 port and is now available separately as
net-im/kopete.
20060529:
AFFECTS: users of net/quagga
AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org
As of version 0.99.4 quagga no longer supports UCD-SNMP v4. If you
require this functionality, you should make alternative arrangements
before upgrading quagga.
20060529:
AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail-spamcontrol
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
Updated to version 2.4.14 that brings a lot of news, most significant is
STARTTLS support on smtpd and pop3d, if you want to use it, you need to
install sysutils/ucspi-ssl-tls port that has the necessary patch applied.
Remember to select STDERR option and rebuild security/clamav port, this is
necessary to have the correct log on smtpd.
After upgrade from 2.3.x you will need to set environment var SMTPAUTH to
enable auth, you can set it as "login" or "crammd5" to set which auth you
want.
20060528:
AFFECTS: users of news/inn
AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com
The 2.4.3 port of inn has an unfortunate bug which causes inn's database files
to be erased during an uninstall or upgrade. Earlier versions are also
affected. The latest port revision fixes this, but before upgrading, users are
advised to move their ${PREFIX}/news/db directory out of the way, in order to
save the history, active and newsgroups databases from destruction.
20060526:
AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-new
AUTHOR: gkovesdan@t-hosting.hu
The Clamav project recommended that security/clamav and security/clamav-devel
should depend on archivers/unzoo instead of zoo, and on archivers/arj instead
of unarj. Because the clamav and clamav-devel ports are used quite often with
amavisd-new, this port was modified to depend on the same two archiver ports
as well. The amavisd-new port automatically recognizes arj, but not unzoo, so
${PREFIX}/etc/amavisd.conf should be modified. This line should be changed:
['zoo', \&do_zoo, 'zoo'],
To this one:
['zoo', \&do_zoo, ['zoo','unzoo'] ],
20060526:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap23-server
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
The setting of SHELL backend has been inverted to off by default,
because of the side effect it can cause. A new option, SLURPD
has been added to give the user decision on whether the
replication should be built and installed. Please note that the
replication daemon is disabled when threading is disabled (e.g.
when using shell backend), no matter what the user option SLURPD
is set to.
You are advised to do a "make config" in the net/openldap23-server
directory *before* upgrading.
20060524:
AFFECTS: users of games/spicetrade
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
To comply with the Porter's Handbook recommendations, spicetrade port no
longer defines USE_X_PREFIX. Hence the executable used to launch the game has
moved to ${PREFIX}/bin/spicetrade (was ${X11BASE}/bin/spicetrade).
20060524:
AFFECTS: users of java/jasmin
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The executable has been renamed to 'jasmin' (was 'jasmin.sh')
20060522:
AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced,
astro/boinc-setiathome-naparst, astro-boinc-setiathome
AUTHOR: r.c.ladan@gmail.com
As SETI@home doesn't generate work for 4.x clients anymore, the ports
structure has been updated to use the 5.x client by default.
People currently using any of the above ports should finish and report
their existing work (both for normal and enhanced) and not allow any
new work until after their ports are updated, to minimize loss of
work.
Note that this update changes the enhanced client to work for the
normal instead of the beta project. When a beta client for Astropulse
is released, it will work as the new client for the beta project.
20060518:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap23-server
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
The OpenLDAP 2.3.x series now automatically disables threading when
shell backend is enabled, as suggested by the OpenLDAP developers.
Users should be aware of the change and choose whether to enable
the feature.
20060516:
AFFECTS: users of www/tinyproxy
AUTHOR: wxs@csh.rit.edu
tinyproxy now installs a rc.d script. To enable tinyproxy at boot
time, set the following in rc.conf(5):
tinyproxy_enable="YES"
The confiration file for tinyproxy has been moved to
${PREFIX}/etc/tinyproxy.conf. Any old configuration files will need
to be migrated over to the new location.
20060514:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/smartmontools, others
AUTHOR: jylefort@FreeBSD.org
In FreeBSD 6.1, the ata(4) device ABI has changed. After updating to
FreeBSD 6.1, ports which access ATA drives directly
(sysutils/smartmontools, others) must be rebuilt.
20060512:
AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail
AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org
Fetchmail now has a rcNG script. It supports two modes:
- one fetchmail instance per user: Set the `fetchmail_users'
variable to a list of users for which you want to start
fetchmail.
- a global system wide daemon (runs per default as user
`fetchmail')
See $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/fetchmail for details.
20060509:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/sulci
AUTHOR: Denis Shaposhnikov <dsh@vlink.ru>
After upgrading from 0.5.a.20050918 version you have to convert your
vocabulary database to sqlite using:
/usr/local/libexec/sulci/wtf_convert
and change sulci's configuration file in "vocabulary" directive, see
/usr/local/share/examples/sulci/sulci.conf.example

AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-server with failover setup
AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de
Beginning with isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.4 a new field is added to the
lease state structures found in the dhcpd.leases file.
Please refer to ${PREFIX}/share/doc/isc-dhcp3-server/RELNOTES for
further informations about this change and how you can update your
dhcpd.leases file.
20060506:
AFFECTS: users of PHP
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The old PHP slave ports (phpN-cli, phpN-cgi and mod_phpN) were removed
in favour of unified PHP ports that allow building any combination of
PHP SAPIs (cli, cgi and apache module).
The PHP CGI binary was renamed to php-cgi, so you should update
the path in your script. To simplify the update process, *only* for
this release a 'php' compatibility symlink to php-cgi will be created
if you don't select the CLI SAPI.
Before the upgrade you *should* run 'make config' in lang/php4 or
lang/php5 to configure the SAPIs you want to install.
As a consequence the default binary packages include the CLI and the
FastCGI SAPIs.
20060506:
AFFECTS: users of lang/lua, editors/kile, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org
Recently, the port of Lua was updated to version 5.1. This version is
incompatible with the version 5.0, which is used in a number of applications,
most notable in the Kile and Kate editors (the latter being part of a base
KDE installation).
If you're having troubles running those, such as error dialogs saying "Check
your KDE installation", make sure to downgrade your lua installation back

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

AFFECTS: All GNOME users
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
GNOME has been updated to 2.14. This new release does NOT require the
use of the gnome_upgrade.sh script. That script should not be used.
Instead, use the following simple recipe:
pkgdb -Ff

AFFECTS: users of devel/monotone
AUTHOR: lapo@lapo.it
Version 0.26 of monotone has many differences with past versions, there are
changes in executable name, in repository and workspace format and also

20060418:
AFFECTS: users of net/{ipw,iwi}-firmware
AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org
Some changes in the way ipw(4) and iwi(4) work lead to fundamental
changes in ipw-firmware and iwi-firmware ports. Since these drivers
are now using loadable kernel modules as firmware, two new ports have
been created: net/ipw-firmware-kmod and net/iwi-firmware-kmod.
You should not be able to install the wrong one since detection is
based on your FreeBSD version. Trying to install the wrong port will
result in an error message (port marked as IGNORE).
20060413:
AFFECTS: users of security/tor-devel
AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org
The default data directory of tor-devel has been changed from
/var/run/tor to /var/db/tor/data
In order to keep your old server settings, you should either
move the appropriate files to this directory manually,
or set the tor_datadir variable accordingly in /etc/rc.conf
20060414:
AFFECTS: users of www/horde, www/horde-php5, www/horde-passwd,
deskutils/nag, deskutils/mnemo, deskutils/kronolith,
mail/turba, mail/ingo, mail/imp, devel/chora
AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com
The Horde ports no longer overwrite your existing configuration
files during an upgrade: if you have modified any of the files in the
config directory of any of these ports, they will be left untouched
when you upgrade.
It is recommended that the new .dist files are examined after an
upgrade and any changes merged into your existing config files if
necessary.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula*
AUTHOR: dan@langille.org
bacula-server now installs two rc.d scripts, one for the Director
and one for the Storage Daemon. To enable the Director at boot time,
set the following in /etc/rc.conf[.local]:
bacula_dir_enable="YES"
To enable the Storage Daemon, set the following in rc.conf(5):
bacula_sd_enable="YES"
Similarly, bacula-client also installs a rcNG script. To enable
the File Daemon at boot time, set the following in rc.conf(5):
bacula_fd_enable="YES"
The old z-bacula.sh script in PREFIX/etc/rc.d should be removed.
20060403:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db*
AUTHOR: swhetzel@gmail.com
Most of the ports that depend on Berkeley DB have been updated to use
Mk/bsd.database.mk. Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to include MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Berkeley DB, and SQLite in a port.
The Berkeley DB support in Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to return the proper
db* library name and location of the include and library directories of the
requested version.
To select a version of Berkeley DB, you can use either WITH_BDB_VER=<version>
or ${UNIQUENAME}_WITH_BDB_VER=<version> (version is one of 3, 40, 41, 42, 43,
or 44).
When a port has USE_BDB defined as either 'USE_BDB=41+' or 'USE_BDB=yes', the
port will use the oldest installed version of Berkeley DB. For example if
both db41 and db43 are installed, the port would end up compiling with db41.
If you add -DWITH_BDB_HIGHEST to your make command, the port will use highest
db* instead. If no Berkeley DB is installed then the port will default to the
version specified or the default Berkeley DB version (currently db41).
NOTE: If a port was using a different variable to select Berkeley DB or a
version, you will get an IGNORE message when you build the port. This
message will tell you what you need to do.
Port Maintainers please review the comments in Mk/bsd.database.mk on what
variables are available for you use in your own ports.
20060331:
AFFECTS: users of biology/emboss and biology/embassy
AUTHOR: fernan@iib.unsam.edu.ar
Since EMBOSS-3.0.0 both EMBOSS and EMBASSY install by default into
$LOCALBASE/emboss to avoid conflicts with other ports.
Users upgrading to 3.0.0 should take this into consideration when
planning the upgrade, because it will involve moving data not
installed by the port (databases) and tweaking the emboss.defaults
config file.
If you want to install the ports into $LOCALBASE (/usr/local, the old
behaviour), you can still do so by setting PREFIX manually. But you
will have to take care of conflicting ports yourself.
20060330:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org
The genkdmconf.sh rc-script has been removed in favour of a kdm wrapper
script, which now handles both launching kdm and automatically updating or
generating kdm's configuration files. The actual kdm binaries have been
renamed to 'kdm-bin', 'kdm-bin_config' and 'kdm-bin_greet' respectively.
These changes should be mostly transparent to kdm users and require no
changes to existing configurations or setups, however: The actual kdm process
is now also named 'kdm-bin', so 'killall kdm' will no longer work.
20060328:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut
AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de
Beginning with nut-2.0.3 the nut rcNG script only starts the ups driver and
the ups daemon 'upsd'.
The ups monitor 'upsmon' and the ups logger 'upslog' are now handled by
seperate scripts to get more control over the different services.
Please take a look into the nut, nut_upslog and nut_upsmon scripts
installed in ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/ for possible rc.conf values and their
defaults.

AFFECTS: users of security/dazuko
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
Do not load the module using /boot/loader.conf. It generates a page fault due

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

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

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

in /var/dcc/whiteclnt with lines like:
mx ip 10.2.3.4
mx ip 10.5.6.0/28
mxdcc ip 10.7.8.9
"MX" marks the IP address of one of your mail systems that should be ignored
in initial Received: headers and when reported by sendmail to dccm. "MXDCC"
marks IP addresses of your mail systems that run DCC clients and that will have
already reported mail to the DCC. Continue using "OK" whitelist entries for
mail systems that you trust to never send or forward unsolicited bulk email.
Allow custom DNS blacklist SMTP rejection messages. See -Bset:rej-msg=X in the
dccifd and dccm man pages.

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

AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
If you use qmail installed on a PREFIX different of /var/qmail,
please, set a var on /etc/make.conf named QMAIL_PREFIX with this
value. It'll be used for many ports that depends of qmail.
To prevent stale dependencies, when you use one of qmail slave ports,
now you just need to set a var named QMAIL_SLAVEPORT on /etc/make.conf
assigning to it the name of slave port you are using.
The valid options for now are:

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

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

you may safely remove pear-XML_RPC, pear-Console_Getopt, pear-Archive_Tar
and php[45]-pear and then run:
portupgrade -o devel/pear -f pear-PEAR

AFFECTS: users of net/mldonkey-devel
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
MLDonkey port net/mldonkey-devel has been patched to work with
the updated lang/ocaml version 3.09. As a result, ocaml 3.09
is now a requirement. You have to follow the instructions for
updating your complete ocaml installation outlined below on

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

AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org
security/racoon has been removed. You should migrate to its
replacement, security/ipsec-tools. No configuration changes will
be required.
The default configuration file location has changed for ipsec-tools.
You will need to move your racoon configuration files to the new
location /usr/local/etc/racoon. Alternatively, add this line in
rc.conf to continue using the old location:
racoon_flags="-f /usr/local/etc"
20051201:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml
AUTHOR: burelle@lri.fr
Upgrade to 3.09.0 will break binary compatibility at link time, so any

AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
A change has been committed against www/lighttpd, which flips the
meaning of the IPV6 option to match other ports, along with the
1.4.7 upgrade. If you have previously saved configuration that
checks the IPV6 option (meaning to disable IPv6), then you will
have to rerun the configuration with ``make config''.
The default setting for IPV6 build is kept, which was enabled by
default.

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

20050902:
AFFECTS: users of www/jakarta-tomcat55
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The port installs a new RCng startup script which no longer uses tomcat55ctl to

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/kdeadmin3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
One data file has been moved from kdeadmin to kdelibs between
KDE 3.4.1 and KDE 3.4.2. This means that
*********if you currently have the kdeadmin port installed*********
you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE
installation.
We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you
to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo).
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports.
pkg_deinstall -f kdeadmin-\[0-9\]\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1.
portinstall -O kdeadmin
20050728:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/sge and sysutils/sgeee
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
A port of SGE 6 has been installed in sysutils/sge. SGE 6 is
significantly different from SGE 5 and an upgrade is only possible
by removing the SGE 5 install and replacing it. The SGE vs SGEEE
distinction has been removed in SGE 6 so the sgeee port was removed.
The sge and sgeee ports were repo copied to sge53 and sgeee53
respectively and existing installations may continue to use them.

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

20050624:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.7. You should update everything

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

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

20050519:
AFFECTS: users of www/squid
AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de
Starting with 2.5.10, the cachemgr.cgi program uses a configuration file

AFFECTS: users of www/mod_perl2 and all ports depending on it
AUTHOR: lars.eggert@gmx.net.
API changed for mod_perl2 - existing code will break!
The mod_perl2 developers have significantly changed the API
in release candidate 2.0.0-RC5. These changes include changed
names for core packages, causing software that uses the old API

described in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html
20050517:
AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird
AUTHOR: freebsd@galle.com.br
The port was split into a -server and -client parts.
The -server contains server binary, UDFs, and install all in
${PREFIX}/firebird. The -client contains libs, includes,
client binaries, docs and examples. For migration delete
the firebird port and install the -server and/or -client port
afterwards.
20050512:
AFFECTS: users of devel/svk
AUTHOR: rafan@infor.org
Since SVK 0.30, it is fast enough and PPerl causes some problems.

20050511:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|contrib)
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL ports have been updated to latest versions. A
security problem in the template database requires a simple SQL
command to be run on each database. Because these problems are
really incorrect system catalog entries, updating to a new release
will NOT by itself solve the problems in an existing
installation.
See http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315 for details.
20050501:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml based applications and libraries
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
With the recent update of ocaml to 3.08.3 some API compatibility

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

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

AFFECTS: users of www/ipython
AUTHOR: dryice@liu.com.cn
This is backward-incompatible changes for pysh.
1. You must update your pysh profile (~/.ipython/ipythonrc-pysh):
a) Add to it the line:
import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
b) Delete the line
execfile pysh.py
2. You must also delete from ~/.ipython/ the file pysh.py.

AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
Opera has been updated to 8.0. If you are upgrade from version 7.x or
below, it is recommend for you to backup your personal "~/.linux-opera"
directory and remove it. It can be done following from the command line:
# cp -Rp ~/.linux-opera ~/.linux-opera-bak
# rm -rf ~/.linux-opera/*
After that, you can put your bookmark, email, contacts and etc back in
~/.linux-opera/. The bookmark is ~/.linux-opera/opera6.adr and the email is
~/.linux-opera/mail as you can figure out by view in ~/.linux-opera/. It is
probably not good idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini,
pluginpath.ini and other non-personal stuff back in ~/.linux-opera/. The
non-personal stuff should be re-configure on new stuff by either Opera
preferences in GUI or hand (manual) in your editor.

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL ports are updated to 8.0.2. All shared libraries'
versions have been bumped, so you will need to recompile all client
applications that depend on libpq.so. The recommended way to
upgrade from 8.0.x would be something like
portupgrade -rf postgresql-client

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

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portsnap
AUTHOR: cperciva@FreeBSD.org
As a result of shifting from SHA-1 to SHA-256, the structure of
portsnap's configuration file and compressed snapshot have both
changed. After upgrading to portsnap 0.9, you will have to
update your configuration file ($PREFIX/etc/portsnap.conf) and
delete your existing portsnap compressed snapshot:
# cd /usr/local/etc && cp portsnap.conf.sample portsnap.conf
# rm -r /usr/local/portsnap/*
In addition, be aware that the next runs of "portsnap fetch" and
"portsnap update" will take far longer than usual, since they
will need to download and extract a complete copy of the ports
tree.
20050319:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7[34]-server
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The startup script has been merged from 8.0 to 7.3 and 7.4. Hence,

AFFECTS: all users who have glib/gtk/gnome libraries installed
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org and the FreeBSD gnome team
Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6.
DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk
or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade

20050309:
AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop
AUTHOR: sergei@FreeBSD.org
maildrop has been recently upgraded to 1.8.0. This version
has the following changes:
- Maildir quota is now enabled by default.
The following options were deleted:
- WITH_MAILDIRQUOTA
- WITH_TRASHQUOTA
- New option WITH_AUTHLIB is added, which provides optional support for
Courier Auth Library (mail/courier-authlib port).
- Userdb authentication, LDAP and MySQL support are provided through
courier-authlib now, thus the following options
- WITH_USERDB
- WITH_LDAP
- WITH_MYSQL
have been superseded by WITH_AUTHLIB.
20050306:
AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus

The newest i2p version 0.5.0.1 is incompatible with all previous
versions. Follow these procedures if you are updating from a
previous port version. You can ignore these if you are installing
i2p for the first time.
1) Update i2p port to the new one
2) Use the i2prouter script to uninstall i2p from user account.
You are going to lose all your configuration.
$ i2prouter uninstall
3) Install the new i2p version
$ i2prouter install
20050301:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ganglia-monitor-core
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
With the move to Ganglia 3.0.0, the configuration file for gmond has
changed completely. The -r or --convert options may be used to
emit a file in the new format given one in the old.
Startup is now controlled by an RC_SUBR script so the gmond_enable and
gmetad_enable variables will need to be set for gmond and gmetad to be
started. Existing gmond.sh and gmetad.sh scripts in PREFIX/etc/rc.d
should be removed.
Due to a bug in ganglia's build process, the previous version may need
to be removed before ganglia can be upgraded.
20050224:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby18 and any apps that depend on ruby18
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The theads support has been disabled again. It causes the more trouble, so

20050213:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX-*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/teTeX-* are now based on teTeX 3.0. Although some
reliability fixes are also added, here are several common problems
which you might fall on.
1) $PREFIX/bin/pdftex is missing:
Probably your system has old files included teTeX 2.x which can
prevent the new version from working. Please remove the old
files first (see 20050206 in this file) and reinstall.
2) Some formats are still corrupted (for example, "Fatal format file error;
I'm stymied" is displayed) or not updated even after a clean install:
You might have old or corrupted *.fmt and/or *.map files
under /root/.texmf-* or $HOME/.texmf-* directories. Typically
these directories are generated when you invoke the updmap(1),
texconfig(1), or fmtutil(1) utility manually. However, for a period
after the first revision of the teTeX-base port erroneously used
fmtutil(1) to regenerate *.fmt files, you could have these directories
without your intent. In such a case, please remove these directories
and reinstall the ports (it is not needed to rebuild ports/packages).
Just for your information, $HOME/.texmf-config and $HOME/.texmf-var
can be used for your personal configuration.
If you have other problems, please contact hrs@FreeBSD.org.

AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/mkbold, x11-fonts/mkitalic, and
x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic
AUTHOR: koma2@ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp
The dependency on x11-fonts/mkbold and x11-fonts/mkitalic has been
switched over to x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, which is written in C
and has far better performance than the old ones. There is no
functional difference between the two, but they will conflict with
each other. Since other ports which depend on x11-fonts/mkbold or
x11-fonts/mkitalic will be updated to depend on x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic,
you might get an error during upgrading such ports. In such a case,
please pkg_delete the old ones first.
20050206:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX and japanese/teTeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/teTeX is now based on a teTeX 3.0 release candidate
(2.99.13.20050204) and the other related ports are also updated.
Since upgrading from previous versions should be done at a time,
you may want to use the portupgrade utility or reinstall
print/teTeX after deinstalling all of the related ports.
If your teTeX environment became broken during the upgrade,
please see the following URL which explains how to fix it.
http://people.freebsd.org/~hrs/tetex-upgrade.txt
This file also includes notes for people who are familiar
with the teTeX distribution to explain structure of the ports.
20050205:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby16_r, lang/ruby18_r, and lang/ruby18
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been
dropped and lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been removed,
since no one seems to appreciate the partially working solution.
Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled
by default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is
linked with libpthread. This will allow threaded extension
libraries to run and work properly on those systems.
20050201:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5 has been updated to 5.6.2, and lang/perl5.8 has been
updated to 5.8.6. you should update everything depending on perl, that
is:
* first, upgrade your perl installation (use either lang/perl5 or
lang/perl5.8, the latter being recommended);
* for FreeBSD 4.X, run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you
have 5.8.6 or 5.6.2; this step is not needed on FreeBSD 5.X and
FreeBSD -CURRENT;
* run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl,
that is run something like :
portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5\* |tail +4; \
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.[68].[1245] -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u`
This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them
afterwards by hand.
20050130:
AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
Each of the PostgreSQL ports have been split into a server and a
client part. Please use postgresqlNN-server and/or
postgresqlNN-client as needed. Versions currently supported are 7.3,
7.4 and 8.0.
To start the PostgreSQL server at boot time, add the following to
/etc/rc.conf:
postgresql_enable=yes
The maintenance script is installed in etc/periodic/daily, and is

postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the
changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can
use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been
committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about
tracking ports and if used in production, update to
databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No

20050114:
AFFECTS: users of security/libgnomesu, esp. on FreeBSD 4.x.
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
If you installed libgnomesu the day it was added to the ports tree,
you have a malformed PAM control file in /etc/pam.d/. All libgnomesu
users should remove /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam, and 5.x users should
replace it with the version in the updated libgnomesu port (ensure
that you're using the most current revision of the libgnomesu port).
4.x users: listen up! The presence of the /etc/pam.d/ directory (and
anything in that directory) presents a Very Bad Thing. Unless you've
manually tweaked your PAM settings, you must run:
# rm /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam
# rmdir /etc/pam.d/
or all users will be locked out of your system!
20050110:
AFFECTS: users of irc/iip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
iip has been updated to the new network servers. Therefore, both
old configuration files and node reference keys no longer apply.
Therefore, you need to update the configuration files for each
user running the iip isproxy daemon:
1) Backup configuration files
cp ~/.iip/isproxy.ini ~/.iip/isproxy.ini.backup
cp ~/.iip/node.ref ~/.iip/node.ref.backup
2) Remove configuration files
rm ~/.iip/isproxy.ini
rm ~/.iip/node.ref
3) Create new configuration. Fill information as requested. This
creates the updated isproxy.ini file
isproxy -C
4) Start iip isproxy. This will initialize your updated node.ref
file. This file will be automatically updated when you connect
to the iip network
isproxy
20050110:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nautilus-cd-burner
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Nautilus-cd-burner now requires cdrtools built with UTF-8 encoding
support. The default sysutils/cdrtools port does not support this
encoding, and that will cause nautilus-cd-burner to enter an infinite
loop when trying to create CD images. To workaround this, the cdrtools
dependency was changed in nautilus-cd-burner to point to the
sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port instead.
Since sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-cjk conflict, you must
uninstall cdrtools so that the nautilus-cd-burner update can properly
pull in cdrtools-cjk.
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap, mail/sqwebmail
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Courier-imap and sqwebmail are now dependent on courier-authlib. If
you've changed the default authentication config for courier-imap or
sqwebmail, you will have to redo the changes for courier-authlib.
You may wish to deinstall courier-imap and/or sqwebmail before you
install courier-authlib. Since courier-authlib replaces parts of both
ports, some of courier-authlib's files are listed as sqwebmail and
courier-imap files and deinstalling old courier-imap and/or sqwebmail
port may cause the deinstallation of the freshly installed
courier-authlib files.
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/sqwebmail
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Sqwebmail now installs it's files directly under PREFIX. That means for
instance that files that were formerly found under
PREFIX/share/sqwebmail/etc/ are now located under PREFIX/etc/sqwebmail.
Furthermore you need to set sqwebmaild_enable=YES in your rc.conf
because the rc.d script has been migrated to use the rc.subr Subsystem

To make sure everything is in working order, do (as root):
mkdir -p /tmp/.ICE-unix && chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix &&

All data saved in the database, LDAP or MCAL backends will be preserved,
considering that you run specific scripts to migrate to this new scheme.
Affected ports are www/horde, mail/turba, deskutils/nag, deskutils/kronolith,
and deskutils/mnemo. See the UPGRADING documentation of the ports in question
for more details.
The filter system of IMP 3.x has been replaced by a separate application:
check the port mail/ingo. Ingo provides a script to migrate the existing
filter rules from IMP 3.x, see Ingo's documentation.

AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server and graphics/dri
AUTHOR: lesi@FreeBSD.org
As of version 4.4.0_6, XFree86-4-Server now depends on
graphics/xfree86-dri. This is due to incompatibilities between
XFree86 and the new xorg 6.8.1 DRI.
Users of XFree86-4-Server are strongly encouraged to switch to
the xfree86-dri port as follows:
portupgrade -fo graphics/xfree86-dri graphics/dri
which will also fix dependencies.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade and lang/ruby18
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
Please upgrade sysutils/portupgrade prior to lang/ruby18, or
pkgdb(1) may coredump with a double free() problem from a misuse (or
a "feature") of the DL module.
In that case, you can reinstall sysutils/portupgrade manually.
20041222:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav, security/clamav-devel
AUTHOR: jylefort@brutele.be
The ClamAV database path has changed from /usr/local/share/clamav to
/var/db/clamav. You should update the DatabaseDirectory keyword in
/usr/local/etc/clamd.conf and /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf.
20041221
AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme03
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
security/gpgme03 has been modified to not conflicts with gpgme 1.x
After upgrade, you need to rebuild all ports that depend on it.
You should upgrade security/gpgme (if installed) to avoid nasty
compile time failures, due to original location of gpgme.h.
20041219:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/jdictionary
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The location for JDictionary port installed files has changed. This also
affects the various plugins. Hence, users should upgrade all jdictionary
related ports at once to avoid inconsistencies:
$ portupgrade jdictionary\*

AFFECTS: users of net/freenet6
AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org
The FreeNet6 Service must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf:
freenet6_enable="YES"
20041213:
AFFECTS: users of security/cryptplug, deskutils/kdepim3
AUTHOR: lofi@freebsd.org
The cryptplug port is not compatible with recent versions of gpgme
and has been changed to depend on gpgme03 (the last version of gpg-
me compatible with cryptplug).
Users who have been using cryptplug in order to enable PGP/MIME support
in KMail should DEINSTALL BOTH cryptplug and gpgme03 before updating
KDE to version 3.3.2. Cryptplug is NOT necessary anymore to enable
PGP/MIME support in KMail and will cause the kdepim3 build to fail due
to conflicting dependencies.
20041213:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-relay
AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL Relay must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf:
postgresqlrelay_enable="YES"
20041212:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula
AUTHOR: lkoeller@FreeBSD.org
The port was split into a -server and -client component.
The -server part contains the storage and director daemon, the -client
part the console, file daemon and the documentation.
For migration delete the bacula port and install the -server and/or
-client port afterwards.
20041208:
AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail
AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org
There is a known quirk when using mail/getmail with Python 2.4
where the DeprecationWarning is printed regarding the use of
the 'strict' keyword when a message is being retrieved.
You can redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null to quelch the warning.
The quirk may be fixed in a future version of getmail.
20041205:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
multimedia/ffmpeg will not work if previous versions of the port
are installed. Also, there is a shared library version bump on
this update. Therefore:
1) Remove old ffmpeg
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/ffmpeg*
2) Install updated ffmpeg
3) Rebuild all ports that depend on ffmpeg due to the shared
library version bump
cd /var/db/pkg && portupgrade -rf ffmpeg* -x ffmpeg*
20041202:
AFFECTS: users of any ports which have dependency on lang/python
AUTHOR: perky@FreeBSD.org
After upgrading of lang/python, you must rebuild all its consumer
ports to make them get ready to Python 2.4.
To do this, you will need to:
pkgdb -uf && cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages

AFFECTS: users of news/rawdog
AUTHOR: tim@bishnet.net
Rawdog 2.x changes the format of the state file used in 1.x. To
upgrade from 1.x to 2.x the rawdog author recommends the following:
cp -R ~/.rawdog ~/.rawdog-old
rm ~/.rawdog/state
rawdog -u
rawdog --upgrade ~/.rawdog-old ~/.rawdog
rawdog -w
Once you're happy with the new version:
rm -r ~/.rawdog-old
20041118:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: lofi@freebsd.org
portsdb(1) is part of the portupgrade suite and is used to convert a ports
INDEX file to a binary INDEX.db database. By default, it uses the
libc-builtin berkeley db to do so, which has a buggy btree implementation.
If you see errors like "[BUG] Segmentation fault" while a portsdb update is
in progress, adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf) to either bdb1_hash or dbm_hash.
This problem was fixed in 5.3-RELEASE, but users of 4.10-RELEASE and
5.2.1-RELEASE (and older releases) will find fixes by updating to the
latest (at least after Sep 20) of RELENG_4 or RELENG_5.
20041116:
AFFECTS: users of www/bricolage
AUTHOR: ports@rbt.ca
Bricolage may now be run on mod_perl compiled as a DSO for Apache
when following these guidelines:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#When_DSO_can_be_Used
To do this, you will need to:
pkg_delete -f apache-mod_perl
pkg_delete -f p5-libapreq-static
portupgrade -rR bricolage
Bricolage will rebuild mod_perl, apache and libapreq using their standard
versions.
20041115:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
Due to the recent removal of INDEX and INDEX-5 from FreeBSD's CVS,
portupgrade with default configuration will run 'make index' if started
after cvsup'ing the ports-collection. This may take an undesirably long
time.
There are several ways to work around this, for example:
- Run 'make fetchindex' after cvsup'ing ports.
or
- Adjust the PORTS_INDEX variable in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf (see portupgrade(1) or the default pkgtools.conf) to
a different value than the default.
Also remember that 'make index' is only supported on _complete_
ports-trees. If you are currently refusing whole categories by means
of a cvsup refuse file, use 'make fetchindex' instead (or consider
keeping an extra machine/jail with a complete ports-tree around to
do INDEX builds on).
20041111:
AFFECTS: users of audio/faad, multimedia/mpeg4ip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
mpeg4ip has been updated and broken down into 2 separate ports:
mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2. Furthermore, mpeg4ip now depends
on faad. Moreover, faad now depends on mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 rather
than on mpeg4ip which avoids a cyclic dependency (mpeg4ip depends
on faad which depends on mpeg4ip).
If any of the old ports are installed, mpeg4ip will not compile.
Therefore,
1) Remove old faad and mpeg4ip ports which conflict with new
mpeg4ip
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/mpeg4ip*
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/faad*
2) Install faad, mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 in the following
order
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/audio/faad && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip && make install clean
20041111:
AFFECTS: users of Java
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
javavmwrapper has been rewritten. It now creates symbolic links for
all executables of the Java VMs that have been registered with it.
These symbolic links may impact which version of Java you are using,
depending on your PATH, which may need to be adjusted.
For example, if your path is:
${LOCALBASE}/bin:${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin
then previously "java" would resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java.
With the new javavmwrapper it will resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.
Depending upon the Java VMs that are registered and various environment
variables, it may or may not be ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java that is
run by javavmwrapper via the symbolic link ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.

Hey, 2.6! You don't have to be 2.6 anymore!
Do NOT use portupgrade(1) to update your GNOME 2.6 desktop to 2.8:
it won't work, and you'll have to recompile bunches of ports by hand
as a result. Use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to automate the upgrade
process. The script is available from

If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 2003.2, you should
consult the Perforce documentation

20041001:
AFFECTS: users of ports that require several base system libraries who
are running FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or later (including -current)
AUTHOR: kensmith@freebsd.org
As part of the FreeBSD-5.3 release the following system libraries
had their version number incremented:
/lib/libm.so.2 -> libm.so.3
/lib/libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.5
/usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 -> libhistory.so.5
/usr/lib/libopie.so.2 -> libopie.so.3
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.2 -> libpcap.so.3
This should have no effect unless you are using FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or
higher, or if you are a -current user who upgraded after this date.
Assuming you did a from-source upgrade new versions of these libraries
will be created but the old versions will be left behind (for example
/lib/libm.so.2 will be the old one, /lib/libm.so.3 will be the new one).
Any ports or pre-built packages you have currently installed will
continue to use the old library, any ports you install after the upgrade
will begin to use the new library. You will need to have all your
ports recompiled before the old library goes away. To help with the
migration you could also use /etc/libmap.conf to map libm.so.2 to
libm.so.3.

20040830:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org
In KDE 3.3, a number of files were moved between ports and some ports
were removed. This means that you will have to take some precautions
to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work.
portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you
have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following
procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed
and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in
to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you
choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic
behavior and crashes from applications launched during the update.
1.) First, make sure your ports index is up to date.
cd /usr/ports && make index
or, if you're using the sysutils/portindex port
portindex
2.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports.
pkg_deinstall -f kdeaddons-kontact-plugins-\* \
kdeaddons-kaddressbook-plugins-\* kdepim-\* kdeutils-\* \
kdeaddons-\[0-9\]\* kde-\[0-9\]\*
kdegraphics now conflicts with the kolourpaint package and kdeedu now
conflicts with the kwordquiz package. If you have kwordquiz and/or
kolourpaint installed on your system and you want to use the kdegraphics/
kdeedu ports, you should first deinstall the conflicting packages:
pkg_deinstall -f kolourpaint\* kwordquiz\*
3.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
portupgrade arts\* kde\* quanta\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
Note that the quanta port has been renamed to kdewebdev. The commands
above will automatically replace quanta with kdewebdev, if you have
quanta installed.
4.) Reinstall any KDE ports you deleted in step 2. Note that the kdeaddons-
kontact-plugins (net/kontact-plugins), kdepim-kpilot (palm/kpilot) and
quanta (www/quanta) ports/packages do not exist anymore and cannot be
reinstalled.
Known post-updating issues:
- If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update:
rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
Then log out of KDE and back in again.
- KMail has been heavily modified since KDE 3.2.x. Testing shows that KMail
can display erratic behavior and crashes after the update. If you see any
such behavior, it is recommended to simply close KMail and start it again
until it resumes normal operation.
The integration of GnuPG and KMail for signing, encrypting and verifying
PGP/MIME mail has also changed. A quick howto is available at
http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php.
- kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations
by running
genkdmconf
Make sure to backup your old kdmrc (usually found in
/usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an
invalid configuration.

while some utilities included in the original teTeX distribution
such as kpsepath(1) look for the file in $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf
first. This is for separating the pTeX's texmf.cnf and
the original TeX's texmf.cnf, and you do not have to copy or
link the file $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf to $TEXMF/web2c/.
To lookup pTeX path by using kpsepath(1) and so on, please

encoding can be used by default, but Shift JIS is no longer
supported because it makes very difficult to maintain other
pTeX related ports. However, "ptex --kanji=sjis" still works,

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

AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
The update to Ant 1.6.2 introduces the following changes which may break
older environments, according to the 1.6.2 release notes:
. The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This
has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505.
. ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained
in it didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has
always been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar.
. All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception
giving the location in the buildfile of the task.
. Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to
the Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.
. <junitreport> will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1.

AFFECTS: users for xorg and GNOME
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
After migrating from XFree86 to X.Org, you must rebuild
x11-toolkits/libwnck and x11/libxklavier for full GNOME functionality
to be restored.
If you receive an XKB initialization error when starting GNOME, edit
your XF86Config or xorg.conf, and remove the line:
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
20040723:
AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of X.Org
AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org
The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or
xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are
switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade:
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-*
cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install
pkgdb -F
Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process.
Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages:
cd /var/db/pkg
portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 imake-4*
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-libraries XFree86-libraries
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-clients XFree86-clients

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

AFFECTS: users of net/openldap21{,-sasl}-client
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do
portupgrade -rfo net/openldap22-client openldap-client
(or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to
upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=21' to /etc/make.conf
Note that when you want to upgrade openldap21{,sasl}-server, you have
to use slapcat/slapadd to migrate the database, since the internal
format is not binary compatible. Simply upgrading the server without
doing a slapcat first can corrupt your database.
20040717:
AFFECTS: users of mail/exim on FreeBSD 5.x
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
The default location of the startup script has been changed to
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. When you depend on the previous behavior,
build the port with WITH_RCORDER=yes.
Setting WITH_OPENLDAP_VER and WITH_MYSQL_VER do not automatically
imply the corresponding WITH_ variable. The use of these options
is discouraged, use the global settings (WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and
DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER) to set system wide defaults.

AFFECTS: users of mail/milter-sender
AUTHOR: vs@FreeBSD.org
Milter-sender version 0.58 released.
When updating to version 0.58, beware if you have a personalized
configuration file (milter-sender.cf). The meaning of the
MxAcceptsAllAction variable has changed and its default has changed
from 4 to 6. If this variable is not updated, greylisting might be
more aggressive than expected.

AFFECTS: users of www/opera
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
Opera 7.52 released.
The file search.ini has been changed to ensure correct default
addresses for dictionary and encyclopedia searches. Existing
versions will be overwritten on upgrade. Users who have a
customized search.ini file that they would like to keep, should
edit its version number to 4 before upgrading. Note that you
have to edit the search.ini file located in the /.opera folder.

AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The japanese/xdvik-vflib no longer supports VFlib2, and now depends on
print/freetype2. For the configuration details, see vfontmap file which
installed as texmf/xdvi/vfontmap. japanese/kochi-ttfonts is used for
min and goth by default.
xdvik-vflib-pk* variants has been removed because pkfonts are already included
in the teTeX distribution.
20040618:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The print/teTeX has been split into print/teTeX-base and print/teTeX-texmf,
and print/teTeX is now a meta-port for the two and print/dvipsk-tetex and
print/xdvik. print/teTeX installs dvips and xdvi by default again (via
print/dvipsk-tetex and print/xdvik). For people who want to use teTeX,
simply install print/teTeX with options set by default.
print/teTeX-base has additional options for adding xdvi and dvips included
in the teTeX distribution itself, but use of them are not recommended if
you do not understand what you are trying to do. Especially, when the
options are set by yourself, do not install ports that match *xdvi* and
*dvips* because they break the installed print/teTeX-base's dviware
and such conflicts will not be detected. In most cases, a combination
of print/teTeX-base + print/dvipsk-tetex + print/xdvik (which are
installed by print/teTeX by default) will be sufficient.
20040615:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
The firefox-0.9 update has a special requirement before you can run it.
You must first run firefox as root before running it as another user.
The best way to do this is to su - to root or log
in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run
``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other
user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will

sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel were merged into
sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-devel respectively.
To update them generate ("make index") or fetch ("make fetchindex") a
new INDEX/INDEX-5. Run "pkgdb -F" and unregister the mkisofs/-devel
port. Then forcefully update the cdrtools port and all of its

user, you should carefully read the instructions at:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html
And use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to properly upgrade to GNOME 2.6. If
you are just a casual user of some of the GNOME libraries, portupgrade
should be sufficient to update your ports.

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
If you update kdelibs from version 3.2.0 to version 3.2.1 while running
a KDE 3.2.0 session, newly opened instances of Konqueror will silently
crash as soon as the new version of kdelibs has been installed, due to
mismatching linker symbols.
It is recommended you quit your KDE session at that point and update
kdebase to version 3.2.1, then restart KDE.

Installation of artswrapper is optional, however:
If you presently run KDE and you have "Run with the highest possible
priority (realtime priority)" checked in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/
Sound System and you choose to NOT install audio/artswrapper, you need to
- Uncheck "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)"
in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System BEFORE updating arts
OR
- AFTER updating arts and kdebase, go to Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/
Sound System, click on the unchecked "Run with the highest possible priority
(realtime priority)", dismiss the message telling you that realtime is un-
available or artswrapper is missing and then click Apply.

rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir
rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir.vdf
chown root:wheel <PREFIX>/AntiVir
chown root:smmsp <PREFIX>/AntiVir/hbedv.key
In your SENDMAIL_MC change
`S=unix:<PREFIX>/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m'
to:
`S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m'
and rebuild sendmail.cf.
If /var/spool/avmilter exist you have to:
chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter
If you are using a customized <PREFIX>/etc/avmilter.conf the port
won't remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User
and Group to smmsp there.
Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then
should run antivirupdater to get a current VDF.

AFFECTS: i386 users of lang/ruby* and sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386.
If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default,
please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf.
Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to
ruby 1.8:
1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be
installed):
pkg_delete portupgrade-\*
(cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean)
2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8
instead:
portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16
3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks):
portupgrade -f lang/ruby18
4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia):
pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16
5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts
causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again.
Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade
and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and
reinstall portupgrade as a last resort.
