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 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.

AFFECTS: users of linux-opera
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 net-mgmt/cricket
AUTHOR: ijliao@FreeBSD.org
As of 2004/11/09 cricket uses a separate user "wwwadm". If you
upgrade your installtion, make sure you chown your existing data.
20050414:
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
20050413:
AFFECTS: users of mail/spamd
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
spamd now installs a rcNG script for starting the OpenBSD pf spamd daemon.
To enable that at boot time, add the following into /etc/rc.conf[.local]:
pfspamd_enable="YES"
20050413
AFFECTS: users of www/quixote
AUTHOR: dryice@liu.com.cn
There are backward-incompatible changes upgrading from 1.2 to
2.0. Including renaming quixote.form to quixote.form1 and
quixote.form2 to quixote.form. Please refer to upgrading.txt in the
docs dir for detail.
20050411:
AFFECTS: users of x11/gdm
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
GDM now installs a rcNG script for starting the gdm daemon.
To enable that gdm starts a boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
gdm_enable="YES"
20050406:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql50-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default:
/var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port
compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable.
In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables
have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency.
20050403:
AFFECTS: users of net/tac_plus4
AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Tac_plus4 now installs an rcNG script for starting the tac_plus daemon.
To enable tac_plus to start at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
tac_plus_enable="YES"
You can also pass flags to tac_plus by setting the rc.conf variable
tac_plus_flags. The default flags are "-C ${PREFIX}/etc/tac_plus.conf".
Additionally, the default version of IOS for tac_plus has been changed from
11.x to 12.x.
20050324:
AFFECTS: users of net/mDNSResponder,
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
In mDNSResponder 98_1, mdnsd is no longer started by default due to a
switch to an rc.subr startup script. To start it, you must add add
mdnsd_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf or other suitable
configuration file.
20050320:
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 applictions 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
behaviour 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.
20050320:
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,
to start the PostgreSQL server at boot time (regardless of version),
add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
postgresql_enable=yes
20050318:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/blackbox, boxtools, bbkeys and bbpager
AUTHOR: A.J.Caines@halplant.com
The new blackbox ports include several changes to use and configuration.
Please read the pkg-message files in the respective ports for details.
20050315:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql323-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf.
The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default:
/var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port
compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable.
See the script for details.
20050314:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql40-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default:
/var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port
compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable.
In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables
have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency.
20050313:
AFFECTS: users of games/netpanzerdata, games/netpanzer
AUTHOR: mad@madpilot.net
The netpanzerdata port has changed it's name to netpanzer-data,
so before installing the new one you will need to remove the old
netpanzerdata-0.1.3 port.
20050312:
AFFECTS: all users who have glib/gtk/gnome libraries installed
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org and the FreeBSD gnome team
Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6.
DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk
or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade
will cause problems and you will have to manually
upgrade ports. Please use the gnome_upgrade.sh
script from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh
20050309:
AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop
AUTHOR: sergei@FreeBSD.org
maildrop has been recently upgraded to 1.8.0. This version
has the following changes:
- Maildir quota is now enabled by default.
The following options were deleted:
- WITH_MAILDIRQUOTA
- WITH_TRASHQUOTA
- New option WITH_AUTHLIB is added, which provides optional support for
Courier Auth Library (mail/courier-authlib port).
- Userdb authentication, LDAP and MySQL support are provided through
courier-authlib now, thus the following options
- WITH_USERDB
- WITH_LDAP
- WITH_MYSQL
have been superceded by WITH_AUTHLIB.
20050306:
AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus
AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org
ploticus is now installed as bin/ploticus rather than bin/pl to
avoid useless conflicts with other ports.
20050303:
AFFECTS: users of net/i2p
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
The newest i2p version 0.5.0.1 is incompatible with all previous
versions. Follow these procedures if you are updating from a
previous port version. You can ignore these if you are installing
i2p for the first time.
1) Update i2p port to the new one
2) Use the i2prouter script to uninstall i2p from user account.
You are going to lose all your configuration.
$ i2prouter uninstall
3) Install the new i2p version
$ i2prouter install
20050301:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ganglia-monitor-core
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
With the move to Ganglia 3.0.0, the configuration file for gmond has
changed completely. The -r or --convert options may be used to
emit a file in the new format given one in the old.
Startup is now controlled by an RC_SUBR script so the gmond_enable and
gmetad_enable variables will need to be set for gmond and gmetad to be
started. Existing gmond.sh and gmetad.sh scripts in PREFIX/etc/rc.d
should be removed.
Due to a bug in ganglia's build process, the previous version may need
to be removed before ganglia can be upgraded.
20050224:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby18 and any apps that depend on ruby18
AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
The theads support has been disabled again. It causes the more trouble, so
it now builds with ${PTHREAD_CFLAGS} and ${PTHREAD_LIBS}. It is recommend
you to rebuild any apps that depend on lang/ruby18. Do something like this:
portupgrade -rf ruby-1.8.2\*
20050224:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache21
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
When upgrading from 2.1.2, you need to rebuild all apache modules.
20050215:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql41-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default:
/var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port
compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable.
In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables
have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency.
20050214:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios
AUTHOR: blaz@si.FreeBSD.org
Nagios has been upgraded to 2.0.b2. Native support for storing various types
of data (status, retention, comment, downtime, etc.) in MySQL and PostgreSQL
has been dropped. There are also multiple changes to the format of
configuration files. Carefully read
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html before upgrading.
20050213:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX-*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/teTeX-* are now based on teTeX 3.0. Although some
reliability fixes are also added, here are several common problems
which you might fall on.
1) $PREFIX/bin/pdftex is missing:
Probably your system has old files included teTeX 2.x which can
prevent the new version from working. Please remove the old
files first (see 20050206 in this file) and reinstall.
2) Some formats are still corrupted (for example, "Fatal format file error;
I'm stymied" is displayed) or not updated even after a clean install:
You might have old or corrupted *.fmt and/or *.map files
under /root/.texmf-* or $HOME/.texmf-* directories. Typically
these directories are generated when you invoke the updmap(1),
texconfig(1), or fmtutil(1) utility manually. However, for a period
after the first revision of the teTeX-base port erroneously used
fmtutil(1) to regenerate *.fmt files, you could have these directories
without your intent. In such a case, please remove these directories
and reinstall the ports (it is not needed to rebuild ports/packages).
Just for your information, $HOME/.texmf-config and $HOME/.texmf-var
can be used for your personal configuration.
If you have other problems, please contact hrs@FreeBSD.org.
20050212:
AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/mkbold, mkitalic and 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 maintainance script is installed in etc/periodic/daily, and is
controlled by a set of new knobs in periodic.conf. Use it for
vacuuming your databases and get daily backups. Note that daily
vacuuming is on by default. See the script for details.
20050130:
AFFECTS: users of net/howl
AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Howl now installs an rcNG script for starting mDNSResponder. To enable
mDNSResponder to start at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
mdnsresponder_enable="YES"
You can also pass flags to mDNSResponder by setting the rc.conf variable
mdnsresponder_flags to the appropriate value. See the mDNSResponder(8)
man page for the list of supported flags. The default is not to pass
any flags to mDNSResponder.
20050126:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
If you use Xorg 6.8.1: Make shure there is an /tmp/.ICE-unix with propper
rights. For further informations about that, please refer to 20041229
Please update all your plugins as well when you update from 4.0.6 to 4.2
They all need recompiling to link against the new xfce libraries
20050122:
AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL
AUTHOR: seanc@FreeBSD.org
The -devel port has been updated to contain 8.0 release since
postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the
changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can
use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been
committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about
tracking ports and if used in production, update to
databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No
dump/reload will be required when changing from -devel to
postgresql80-server.
20050117:
AFFECTS: users of mail/spambnc
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
The SpamBouncer has been upgraded from version 1.9 to 2.0-RC3, and you
have to modify your ~/.procmailrc files. Please read upgrading.html in
/usr/local/share/doc/spambnc.
20050117:
AFFECTS: users of astk-client
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
ASTK has been moved; if there exists files $HOME/.astkrc/config_serveurs,
you have to update the entry rep_serv from /usr/local/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/bin
to /usr/local/aster/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/bin (or you can remove $HOME/.astkrc).
20050114:
AFFECTS: users of security/libgnomesu, esp. on FreeBSD 4.x.
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
If you installed libgnomesu the day it was added to the ports tree,
you have a malformed PAM control file in /etc/pam.d/. All libgnomesu
users should remove /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam, and 5.x users should
replace it with the version in the updated libgnomesu port (ensure
that you're using the most current revision of the libgnomesu port).
4.x users: listen up! The presence of the /etc/pam.d/ directory (and
anything in that directory) presents a Very Bad Thing. Unless you've
manually tweaked your PAM settings, you must run:
# rm /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam
# rmdir /etc/pam.d/
or all users will be locked out of your system!
20050110:
AFFECTS: users of irc/iip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
iip has been updated to the new network servers. Therefore, both
old configuration files and node reference keys no longer apply.
Therefore, you need to update the configuration files for each
user running the iip isproxy daemon:
1) Backup configuration files
cp ~/.iip/isproxy.ini ~/.iip/isproxy.ini.backup
cp ~/.iip/node.ref ~/.iip/node.ref.backup
2) Remove configuration files
rm ~/.iip/isproxy.ini
rm ~/.iip/node.ref
3) Create new configuration. Fill information as requested. This
creates the updated isproxy.ini file
isproxy -C
4) Start iip isproxy. This will initialize your updated node.ref
file. This file will be automatically updated when you connect
to the iip network
isproxy
20050110:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nautilus-cd-burner
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Nautilus-cd-burner now requires cdrtools built with UTF-8 encoding
support. The default sysutils/cdrtools port does not support this
encoding, and that will cause nautilus-cd-burner to enter an infinite
loop when trying to create CD images. To workaround this, the cdrtools
dependency was changed in nautilus-cd-burner to point to the
sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port instead.
Since sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-cjk conflict, you must
uninstall cdrtools so that the nautilus-cd-burner update can properly
pull in cdrtools-cjk.
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap, mail/sqwebmail
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Courier-imap and sqwebmail are now dependent on courier-authlib. If
you've changed the default authentication config for courier-imap or
sqwebmail, you will have to redo the changes for courier-authlib.
You may wish to deinstall courier-imap and/or sqwebmail before you
install courier-authlib. Since courier-authlib replaces parts of both
ports, some of courier-authlib's files are listed as sqwebmail and
courier-imap files and deinstalling old courier-imap and/or sqwebmail
port may cause the deinstallation of the freshly installed
courier-authlib files.
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/sqwebmail
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Sqwebmail now installs it's files directly under PREFIX. That means for
instance that files that were formerly found under
PREFIX/share/sqwebmail/etc/ are now located under PREFIX/etc/sqwebmail.
Furthermore you need to set sqwebmaild_enable=YES in your rc.conf
because the rc.d script has been migrated to use the rc.subr Subsystem
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
The variable courier_imap_imapdssl_enable have been renamed to
courier_imap_imapd_ssl_enable.
The variable courier_imap_pop3dssl_enable have been renamed to
courier_imap_pop3d_ssl_enable.
userdb stuff is now located in LOCALBASE/etc/authlib instead of
LOCALBASE/etc.
20041231:
AFFECTS: users of www/awstats
AUTHOR: webmaster@lightningfire.net
Location of awstats changed from /usr/local/www to /usr/local/www/awstats.
Please update configuration according instructions in pkg-message.
20041231:
AFFECTS: users of the linux compatibility environment
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The default linux_base was changed from v7 to v8. You need to update from
v7 to v8 and rebuild every linux port. To update run:
portupgrade -rf -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base
In case you already use linux_base-8 you have to run:
portupgrade -rf emulators/linux_base-8
20041229:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3, x11-servers/xorg-server
AUTHOR: lofi@freebsd.org
If KDE does not start anymore after upgrading Xorg to version 6.8.1
(X restarts when the KDE splash screen has reached the third icon),
please check whether the directory /tmp/.ICE-unix exists, is owned by root
and has permissions 1777 (read/write/access for everybody + sticky bit).
To make sure everything is in working order, do (as root):
mkdir -p /tmp/.ICE-unix && chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix &&
chown root:wheel /tmp/.ICE-unix
Also, make sure you do NOT have clear_tmp_enable="YES" set in /etc/rc.conf,
as it will remove the directory on every reboot and applications will re-
create it with the wrong ownership.
Users of daily_clean_tmps_enable in /etc/periodic.conf should make sure
daily_clean_tmps_ignore contains /tmp/.ICE-unix.
20041227:
AFFECTS: users of lang/gambas
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
As of this update, the password of your databases connections are crypted.
If you were using the database manager, please remove
~/.gambas/gambas-database-manager.conf before launching the new version.
20041226:
AFFECTS: users of Horde and the related ports (Turba, IMP, Nag, Kronolith,
Mnemo, Chora)
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
As of this update, the configuration files are generated by the application,
with no support for configuration files used in previous versions.
All data saved in the database, LDAP or MCAL backends will be preserved,
considering that you run specific scripts to migrate to this new scheme.
Affected ports are www/horde, mail/turba, deskutils/nag, deskutils/kronolith,
and deskutils/mnemo. See the UPGRADING documentation of the ports in question
for more details.
The filter system of IMP 3.x has been replaced by a separate application:
check the port mail/ingo. Ingo provides a script to migrate the existing
filter rules from IMP 3.x, see Ingo's documentation.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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:

AFFECTS: users of news/rawdog
AUTHOR: tim@bishnet.net
Rawdog 2.x changes the format of the state file used in 1.x. To

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

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

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

Optional step 4.) Run, as root: genkdmconf (without any options) to update
your kdmrc to the lastest configfile format
Note for advanced users: Substitute /usr/local with your custom PREFIX if
you're using one.

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 xorg
AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org
The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or
xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are
switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade:
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-*
cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install
pkgdb -F
Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process.
Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages:
cd /var/db/pkg
portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 imake-4*
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-libraries XFree86-libraries
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-clients XFree86-clients
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-manpages XFree86-manuals
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-documents XFree86-documents
portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype XFree86-fontScalable
portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-100dpi XFree86-font100dpi

portupgrade -o x11/xorg -f XFree86
20040719:
AFFECTS: users of PHP
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been splitted into 'base' PHP,
PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features.
Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP
installation (no PEAR and no extensions).
PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while
the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports
lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular
extensions individually.
If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out
the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled
into the PHP binary.
For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use
the command "php -m".

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 behaviour,
build the port with WITH_RCORDER=yes.
Setting WITH_OPENLDAP_VER and WITH_MYSQL_VER do not automatically
imply the corresponding WITH_ varibale. The use of these options
is discouraged, use the global settings (WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and
DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER) to set system wide defaults.

AFFECTS: users of mail/milter-sender
AUTHOR: vs@FreeBSD.org
Milter-sender version 0.58 released.
When updating to version 0.58, beware if you have a personalised
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

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

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

GNOME has been updated to 2.6. Simply portupgrading will cause serious
problems if you are using the desktop itself. If you are a GNOME desktop
user, you should carefully read the instructions at:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html
And use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to properly upgrade to GNOME 2.6. If
you are just a casual user of some of the GNOME libraries, portupgrade
should be sufficient to update your ports.

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