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/py-netbox-secretstore
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Upstream no longer maintains py-netbox-secretstore which it is not
compatible with NetBox 3.5 or newer. To ensure compatibility with newer
releases of NetBox, the py-netbox-secrets plugin should be used instead.
To migrate from security/py-netbox-secretstore to
security/py-netbox-secrets please do following steps:
1. Make a backup.
2. Install security/py-netbox-secrets
3. Enable both plugins by updating the following line in the netbox
configuration (e.g. /usr/local/share/netbox/netbox/configuration.py):
PLUGINS = ['netbox_secretstore', 'netbox_secrets']
4. Run NetBox migrations:
# cd /usr/local/share/netbox
# python3.9 manage.py migrate
5. Re-adjust the indices for the netbox-secrets plugin:
# python3.9 manage.py sqlsequencereset netbox_secrets > output.sql
6. Run the output of the previous command in the database, e.g.:
# psql -d NETBOXDB < output.sql
7. You can now remove netbox-secretstore from the application by removing
it from the PLUGINS line in the netbox configuration:
PLUGINS = ['netbox_secrets']
8. Collect static files of the netbox-secrets plugin:
# python3.9 manage.py collectstatic --no-input
9. Restart WSGI/httpd environment (supervisord/apache/nginx/etc.).
10. You may have clean up your database of the old tables manually, e.g.:
DROP TABLE netbox_secretstore_secret;
DROP TABLE netbox_secretstore_secretrole;
DROP TABLE netbox_secretstore_sessionkey;
DROP TABLE netbox_secretstore_userkey;
11. Uninstall security/py-netbox-secretstore.

AFFECTS: users of mail/mutt
AUTHOR: dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com
The patches included in the mail/mutt port will be removed in approximately a
month making the port more inline with upstream. If you require any of these
features most are available in mail/neomutt or it's possible to use
EXTRA_PATCH_TREE to patch a port when building locally.
20230504:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/py-mqttwarn
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
The redis optoin REISPUB has been renamed to REDISPUB

AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest stable version 3.6 of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
list of dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies.
20230315:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby30
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 3.0 to 3.1.

adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 3.0 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=3.0
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkg, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade

AFFECTS: users of security/openssl-devel
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
Users using DEFAULT_VERSIONS=ssl=openssl-devel must update their
configuration to DEFAULT_VERSIONS=ssl=openssl30 or openssl31.
20230313:
AFFECTS: users of databases/sqlite3
AUTHOR: fuz@FreeBSD.org
Due to various ports not being prepared for this change (see 20230227
entry), the DQS option of databases/sqlite3 has been reenabled as a
stop gap measure. It is scheduled to be disabled again for good no
earlier than 20240101, giving downstream software authors more time
to fix their queries.

20230311:
AFFECTS: users of net/dshell
AUTHOR: nobutaka@FreeBSD.org
net/dshell now depends on net/py-pcapy-ng instead of net/py-pcapy.
Because net/py-pcapy-ng conflicts with net/py-pcapy, please uninstall
py39-pcapy with the following command before upgrading:
# pkg delete -f py39-pcapy
20230310:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/unifi7
AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org
The mongodb dependency has been changed from 36 to 44, as MongoDB 3.6
is long out out support and end of life.
The upgrade path should be as following:
1. Take a backup from within the unifi7 application PRIOR to
updating!
2. Stop the unifi7 service (if running)
3. Copy the "backup" directory from LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data
to a safe location. Also copy keystore and system.properties if
you have made any modifications to those files
4. Remove files and directories under LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data
5. Upgrade the package
6. Copy the "backup" directory from a safe location back to
LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data
7. Start the service
8. Restore the configuration from backup
As an optional step, review system.properties and keystore to merge any
manual modifications you have made (this has to be done with the application
stopped)
20230310:
AFFECTS: user of benchmarks/ddosify
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
keep-alive is removed from config file. In default mode, the engine will use
keep-alive for all requests. If you want to disable keep-alive for a step, you
can add Connection: close header to the step.
20230306:
AFFECTS: users of www/qt5-webengine
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Users that upgrade www/qt5-webengine without using pkg/poudriere might
experience failures due to conflicts with the installed version of 5.15.2.

if the pkg update process fails due to conflicting files.
20230227:
AFFECTS: users of databases/sqlite3
AUTHOR: fuz@FreeBSD.org
Option DQS is now disabled by default. This option controls the "double
quoted string literals are accepted" quirk, permitting the use of double
quotes around string literals if enabled. Users who rely on this quirk
need to manually build databases/sqlite3 with the DQS option enabled.

20230227:
AFFECTS: users of mail/py-spf-engine
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
Default configuration file path of pyspf-milter has changed. Since
it looks for ${PREFIX}/etc/etc/pyspf-milter/pyspf-milter.conf now,
you should edit the file if you run pyspf-milter. Alternatively you
can specify other configuration file path by setting
pyspf_milter_conffile variable in /etc/rc.conf.
20230222:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
1. Please make sure that the PostgreSQL server for the NetBox instance is
running version 11 or higher. This is because PostgreSQL 10 is
End-of-Life since November 2022 and Django 4.1 requires PostgreSQL 11
as a minimum.
2. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.
20230218:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql57-(server|client)
AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org
The default MySQL version has been updated from 5.7 to 8.0.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 5.7 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep MySQL 5.7 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql=5.7
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
running server instance. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
on installed packages.
# pkg set -o databases/mysql57-client:databases/mysql80-client
# pkg set -o databases/mysql57-server:databases/mysql80-server
# pkg upgrade
20230213:
Affects: users of sysutils/nut*
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
The nut file ownership fixups due to the UID/GID change from uucp/uucp
to nut/nut may not be desireable for all users. Some users with custom
file ownership may wish ownership to remain untouched. This revision
to the nut family of ports/packages allows users to optionally disable
automatic fixup of nut file ownership.
20230213:
AFFECTS: users of security/logcheck
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
Since 1.4.1 ${PREFIX}/etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfiles is empty and
files to be checked by logcheck are specified in
${PREFIX}/etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfiles.d/syslog.logfiles. So if
you previously edited the former, then you should edit the latter
now.
20230210:
AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
Fetchmail now warns about OpenSSL before 1.1.1s or 3.0.7, and rejects wolfSSL

20230130:
AFFECTS: users of USES=nodejs, www/node*, www/npm* and www/yarn*
AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
The current USES=nodejs has the following issues:
- www/node is not the default version while www/node16 is.
- It also means inconsistent naming of node ports.
- www/npm duplicates with www/npm-node16.
- www/yarn duplicates with www/yarn-node16.
The notable changes are introduced to fix the above issues:
- Rewrite Mk/Uses/nodejs.mk.
- Add new LTS version of nodejs (www/node18).
- Add new current version of nodejs (www/node19).
- Change default nodejs version from 16 to 18 (latest LTS),
- Use consistent naming for all supported node versions.
- Convert www/node, www/npm and www/yarn to meta ports.
After these changes:
- All supported node versions are named as node{14,16,18,19}.
- www/node is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/node18)
- www/npm is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/npm-node18)
- www/yarn is a meta port which depends on the default version
(e.g. www/yarn-node18)
20230129:
AFFECTS: users of benchmarks/ddosify
AUTHOR: fernape@freebsd.org
In 0.13.0 some configuration keys have been renamed for consistency. Have a

openvpn25 package) until end of March 2023.
20230116:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut and sysutils/nut-devel
AUTHOR: cy@freebsd.org
As of PR/268960 Network UPS Tools will now run under its own UID and GID
instead of uucp. Users who wish to continue using the uucp user and
group may add NUT_USER=uucp and NUT_GROUP=uucp to their make.conf.
After upgrading sysutils/nut or sysutils/nut-devel with this patch,
restart devd. Then restart nut. This will fix up the permissions of
UPS USB devices and allow nut to start normally.
20230111:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/graylog
AUTHOR: dch@freebsd.org
Graylog 5.x and higher effectively constrains ElasticSearch
dependencies, and in most cases will force a migration to
OpenSearch 2.x, now available in ports. Plan accordingly.
20230104:
AFFECTS: users of mail/spamassassin
AUTHOR: cy@freebsd.org
As of spamassassin 4.0.0 (3fdfceb36029) the deprecated HashCash plug-in
was finally removed. Users using the HashCash plug-in will need to
remove references to it.
20221226:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/zrepl
AUTHOR: driesm@FreeBSD.org
The Prometheus metric zrepl_version_daemon has been converted to the
zrepl_start_time metric. The metric still reports the zrepl verison in a
label. But the metric value is now the Unix timestamp at the time the
daemon was started. The Grafana dashboard in dist/grafana has been
updated.
The RPC protocol version has also been bumped; all zrepl daemons in a
setup must be updated and restarted before replication can resume.
20221220:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/unbound_exporter
AUTHOR: thomas@beingboiled.info
The config defaults for the log file and certificates have been changed.
See /usr/local/etc/rc.d/unbound_exporter for possible options and adjust
your rc.conf accordingly.
20221215:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
Many users report that after updating ClamAV to 1.0.0 clamd and
freshclam fails to start with integrity check error of
databases. According to the result of investigation it happens with
following conditions.
1. ClamAV is built on non-cleanroom environment (that is, neither
FreeBSD official ClamAV package is used nor the package is built
by user with poudriere).
2. math/tomsfastmath is installed in the system that ClamAV is
built.
So if the errror happens on you system, uninstall TomsFastMath first
and then rebuild and reinstall ClamAV. The problem should disappear.
20221128:
AFFECTS: devel/py-proxmoxer
AUTHOR: einar@isnic.is
AuthenticationError Moved
proxmoxer.backends.https.AuthenticationError was moved to
proxmoxer.AuthenticationError (the class itself is the same).
Any imports or references to proxmoxer.backends.https.AuthenticationError
should be changed to proxmoxer.AuthenticationError.
ProxmoxResourceBase Removed
While this should be a fully internal change, the ProxmoxResourceBase
class was removed. Use ProxmoxResource instead.
Removed ProxmoxHTTPTicketAuth
The auth_token and csrf_token arguments are no longer supported. If an
existing (still valid) token needs to be used, you can pass the token
as password and proxmoxer will attempt to renew the ticket and retrieve
a new token and CSRF token.
20221126:
AFFECTS: textproc/kibana8
AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org
kibana8 now installs kibana-specific utilities into LOCALBASE/bin as symbolic
links.
Please check whether it will overwrite your local files with names same as
these utilities and if so, please rename them or move out of the way in a
different manner.
20221126:
AFFECTS: textproc/elasticsearch8
AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org
elasticsearch8 now installs elasticsearch-specific utilities into
LOCALBASE/bin as symbolic links (i.e. elasticsearch-cli and similar).
Please check whether it will overwrite your local files with names same
as these utilities and if so, please rename them or move out of the way
in a different manner.
20221126:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php80
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PHP has been switched from 8.0 to 8.1.
If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
before running 'pkg upgrade':
# pkg info \*php80\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
If you use mod_php80 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php81.
20221123:
AFFECTS: x11-wm/jwm
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
jwm 2.4 introduces changes in the configuration. To convert an existing v2.3
configuration file using xsltproc, run:
cp ~/.jwmrc ~/.jwmrc.old
xsltproc jwm-2.4.xslt ~/.jwmrc.old > ~/.jwmrc
If you have multiple configuration files, it may be necessary to apply the
XSLT to some or all of them depending on what configuration options are stored
in the file.
20221017:
AFFECTS: archivers/star
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
With the update of devel/schilybase to 2022-10-16 a new port archivers/tartest
has been splitted off from archivers/star.
20221016:
AFFECTS: textproc/apache-solr
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
Apache solr version 9 is released and made available as extra port
textproc/apache-solr9.
Version 9 cannot start directly with data from version 8. Additional steps
for data migration is required.
If you like to use the new version, deinstall the old version and install
the new version:
# pkg delete apache-solr
# pkg install apache-solr9
After this you need to migrate data and migration, for this check the solr
documentation.
20221015:
AFFECTS: users of gstreamer1-* when upgrading via port builds on the host
AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
The update of the gstreamer1-* ports to 1.20.3 requires a clean install of
gstreamer1-* ports. In particular, when trying to update ports in-place using
portupgrade or portmaster, the builds are likely to fail due to dependency
mismatches. If this is your preferred update path, you need to deinstall
(pkg delete -f) gstreamer1 and the plugins before reinstalling them from
the ports tree.
Note that pkg upgrade will do the right thing: If you use official FreeBSD
packages or build your own set of packages using poudriere, nothing special
is needed.
20221012:
AFFECTS: devel/websvn
AUTHOR: michael.osipov@siemens.com
WebSVN 2.8.0 includes full PHP 8.x support which requires a change from PEAR
to Composer 2. You must manually install dependencies through it, the ports
system will not handle it anymore for you since */horde* (PR 266552) has been
marked as incompatible with PHP 8.x for the time being. See pkg-message for
detailed instructions.
20221011:
AFFECTS: users of security/acme.sh
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
This update may break your install if you were using a symlink to
%%EXAMPLESDIR%%/acme.sh.conf - that file is no longer installed. Instead,
a log rotation configuration is now installed to etc/cron.d/acme.sh.sample
you should modify etc/cron.d/acme.sh to needs.
The port now installs a log rotation file to etc/newsyslog.d/acme.sh.sample
and you you should update etc/newsyslog.d/acme.sh to suit your needs.
This file has long been part of the port, but was never installed.
Neither the log rotation nor the crontab are active until you remove the
comments.
20221002:
AFFECTS: users of shells/bash
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
Bash has been updated to version 5.2. In previous versions, the default port
option-set used to link against libreadline from ports. However, the current
version of devel/readline is too old for bash 5.2.
For now, the default option has been switched to use the bundled version of
libreadline and the other option is marked broken. Once devel/readline is
updated this can be reverted.
If you're updating bash from source and you've previously explicitly set to
use use PORTS_READLINE, you'll have to disable the PORTS_READLINE option
before updating:
# cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
# make config
or flush it entirely:
# cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
# make rmconfig

or
# portmaster -o emulators/qemu70 emulators/qemu
or
# portupgrade -o emulators/qemu70 emulators/qemu
20220903:
AFFECTS: users of editors/vim
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The Vim port no longer installs a system-wide vimrc. It drastically affected
config loading order, and led to various settings being clobbered, duplicated,
or ignored.
Vim's provided defaults.vim (/usr/local/share/vim/vim90/defaults.vim) continues
to be read just as before, but its settings are no longer clobbered. Take a look
in there for any settings you may want to change, and do ':h initialization' to
see where Vim looks for config files.

AFFECTS: users of security/stunnel
AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org
The stunnel port has been updated to drop privileges to the stunnel
user by default.
As a result of this change, the pid file location has changed. If
you have a running copy of stunnel, you should stop the process
before performing the upgrade. Alternatively, you will need to
# pkill stunnel;service stunnel start
after the upgrade has been completed.

AFFECTS: users of devel/maven-wrapper and devel/maven
AUTHOR: michaelo@apache.org
The environment variable M2_HOME has been replaced with more common
MAVEN_HOME which can be used to pass a custom Maven home directory.
20220629:
AFFECTS: updating x11-servers/xorg-server from a port
AUTHOR: se@FreeBSD.org
The xorg-server port now has a library dependency on x11/libxcvt,
which cannot be installed when the previous version of xorg-server
is present. To be able to update xorg-server from a port, the
previous version needs to be manually deinstalled to allow libxcvt
to be installed.

AFFECTS: users of Erlang and Elixir
AUTHOR: dch@FreeBSD.org
For more than a decade, the Elixir Mix tool and the Erlang rebar
or erlang.mk build tools have been the de facto way of installing
and managing packages for specific applications.
All main-stream applications, from Riak, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, Phoenix,
and Elixir, expect that packages are fetched and compiled into an OTP
Release, with in-built version locking, external package management.
There is no point in maintaining a large number of libraries, that
are used neither for development, nor operations.
Users are directed to https://rebar3.org/ https://erlang.mk/ or
https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/introduction-to-mix.html
to fetch custom packages.

20220626:
AFFECTS: users of python
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
The default version of python3 and python was switched to 3.9.
For ports users wanting to keep version 3.8 as default,
add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.8 python3=3.8 to make.conf
Following procedures may ease the upgrade:
For users of pre-build packages:
# sh
# for i in $(pkg query -g %n 'py38-*'); do pkg set -yn ${i}:py39-${i#py38-}; done
# pkg upgrade
For portmaster users:
# sh
# portmaster -o lang/python39 python38
# REINSTALL="$(pkg info -o "*py38*" | awk '{printf "%s ", $2}')"
# pkg delete -f "*py38*"
# portmaster $REINSTALL
# REBUILD=$(pkg query -g "%n:%dn" '*' | grep py3 | grep -v py39 | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u)
# portmaster $REBUILD
# REBUILD2=$(pkg list | grep python-38 | xargs pkg which | awk '{print $6}' | sort -u)
# portmaster $REBUILD2
Final steps (for pre-built packages & portmaster):
If no longer required, Python 3.8 can be removed via
"pkg remove python38" and the directory /usr/local/lib/python3.8 can
then be deleted afterwards, if not empty.
20220625:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/fusefs-bindfs
AUTHOR: doralitze@chaotikum.org
Bindfs defaults to use direct I/O since version 1.16. While this results
in major performance improvements as well as several bug fixes, this also
breaks direct legacy calls to mmap. If your application still uses them
consider these two options:
1. Mount using `--no-direct-io`
2. Upgrade your application in order to query mapping guards
20220623:
AFFECTS: users of science/gramps
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
databases/py-bsddb3 is deprecated and will be removed in the future. With that
gramps will lose the ability to load family trees using Berkeley DB.
It is suggested to migrate all family trees using Berkeley DB by exporting
them to gramps xml and import that gramps xml into a family tree using sqlite
as database.
20220620:
AFFECTS: users of www/selenium
AUTHOR: fernape@FreeBSD.org
The port has changed startup args so if you are using selenium_args= in
rc.conf you need to add the parameter "standalone" manually.
20220616:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
/!\ WARNING /!\
The NetBox 3.2 release contains major changes, so at least items 1.), 2.)
and 3.) must be checked before proceeding with the upgrade!
/!\ WARNING /!\
1. This release includes a database migration that will remove the "asn",
"contact_name", "contact_phone", and "contact_email" fields from the
site model. (These fields have been superseded by the ASN and contact
models introduced in NetBox v3.1.)
To protect against the accidental destruction of data, the upgrade
process will fail if any sites still have data in any of these fields.
To bypass this safeguard, set the NETBOX_DELETE_LEGACY_DATA environment
variable when running the upgrade script, which will permit the
destruction of legacy data.
A set of migration scripts is available to assist with the migration of
legacy site data:
https://github.com/netbox-community/migration-scripts
2. NetBox v3.2 requires Python 3.8 or later.
3. If the NetBox Plugin "net-mgmt/py-netbox-plugin-extension" is used,
please disable it before the migrations are applied. This can be done
by removing the entry "netbox_plugin_extensions" from the "PLUGINS"
section in the NetBox configuration.
Once the upgrade is done, this port/package can be safely removed as
it's no longer required.
4. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.
20220608:
AFFECTS: devel/autoconf-wrapper, devel/autoconf213
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
These ports have been renamed to devel/autoconf-switch and devel/autoconf2.13
respectively. If your favourite port updating tool cannot handle that then
just remove the packages with "pkg delete" and then install the new port.
20220607:
AFFECTS: security/openssh-portable
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
OpenSSH has been updated to 9.0p1 with incompatible changes.

20220602:
AFFECTS: sysutils/graylog
AUTHOR: dch@FreeBSD.org
Graylog 4.3.0+ fails to start if graylog's internal collector for
system statistics is enabled. This will eventually be addressed
upstream.
Add disable_native_system_stats_collector=true to your graylog.conf.
20220513:
AFFECTS: devel/nexus2-oss
AUTHOR: michael.osipov@siemens.com
Nexus 2.15.x introduces incompatible configuration changes. You
must review changes in ETCDIR/wrapper.conf and ETCDIR/jetty*.xml
with updated samples as well as NEXUS_WORKDIR/conf/logback-nexus.xml
with its origin from
DATADIR/nexus/WEB-INF/lib/nexus-core-VERSION.jar!/META-INF/log/logback-nexus.xml,
grant write access to files in ETCDIR since Nexus itself might
update files in place otherwise your instance will not properly
work after the update.
20220510
AFFECTS: sysutils/zrepl
AUTHOR: monwarez@gmail.com
The zrepl update to 0.5.0.8 includes the following breaking changes:
- The Prometheus metric zrepl_version_daemon was converted to zrepl_start_time
The metric still reports the zrepl version in a label.
But the metric *value* is now the Unix timestamp at the time the daemon was started.
The Grafana dashboard in zrepl examples directory has been updated.
20220502:
AFFECTS: mail/mutt
AUTHOR: dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com
Default header cache option has been changed to the new option LMDB using
databases/lmdb. The BDB option still exists but now uses databases/db18 due
to the EOL of databases/db5.
20220501:
AFFECTS: users of drm-current-kmod and drm-devel-kmod
AUTHOR: manu@FreeBSD.org
Both ports where removed.
If you were using either one of them directly (i.e. without using
graphics/drm-kmod metaport) use graphics/drm-510-kmod.
If you have some problems with this one try drm-54-kmod and report
a bug on https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod.
20220428:
AFFECTS: users of databases/redis
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
The databases/redis port has been updated to 7.0. Users wanting to
stay on 6.2 can replace databases/redis with databases/redis62 with
one of the following commands.
If you use pkg with binary packages:
# pkg set -o databases/redis:databases/redis62
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster:
# portmaster -o databases/redis62 databases/redis
If you use portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o databases/redis62 databases/redis
20220426:
AFFECTS: users of deskutils/grantleetheme
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The pkg update of deskutils/grantleetheme to 22.04 can fail due
to a filesystem location having changed from being a file to being
a directory. This leads to pkg's temporary file creation throwing
an error.
To update to KDE Gear 22.04 please run
# pkg delete -f grantleetheme
prior to the update.
20220424:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
emulators/qemu has been updated to 7.0.0. Previous 6.2.X branch has
been repocopied to emulators/qemu6. If someone wants to stick with 6.2.X
branch please use one of the following command:
# pkg install qemu6/qemu6-nox11(based on flavor used)
or
# portmaster -o emulators/qemu6 emulators/qemu
or
# portupgrade -o emulators/qemu6 emulators/qemu
20220421:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby27
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 2.7 to 3.0.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.7 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 2.7 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.7
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkg, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you do not use pkg, please check entry 20190420.
The description there should also work for this version.
20220413:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/py-matrix-synapse
AUTHOR: ports@skyforge.at
Synapse will now refuse to start up if open registration is enabled,
in order to help mitigate abuse across the federation. If you would
like to provide registration to anyone, consider adding email,
recaptcha or token-based verification in order to prevent automated
registration from bad actors. This check can be disabled by setting
the enable_registration_without_verification option in your
homeserver configuration file to true. More details are available in
the upgrade notes[0].
Synapse will additionally now refuse to start when using PostgreSQL
with a non-C values for COLLATE and CTYPE, unless the config flag
allow_unsafe_locale, found in the database section of the
configuration file, is set to true. See the upgrade notes[1] for
details.

20220410:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/screen
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_5, the MULTUSER option is default, reverting
to the traditional setuid-root behavior. People who wish to secure their
screen install must terminate all screen sessions, then install screen
without the MULTIUSER option. The option was reversed because it caused
too much astonishment among users of screen.
20220401:
AFFECTS: security/sshguard
AUTHOR: kevinz5000@gmail.com
Blacklisting is now disabled by default to avoid overriding the setting in
sshguard.conf. To enable blacklisting, uncomment the BLACKLIST_FILE line in
sshguard.conf.
20220329:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/screen
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
As of sysutils/screen-4.9.0_3, the multiuser feature is not supported
by default. The multiuser feature requires setuid root to function.
This creates a security risk. Some Linux distributions have had
non-setuuid root screen for a dozen or more years. FreeBSD is following
suit. A new MULTIUSER option has been added to enable users to install
setuid root screen. The MULTIUSER option default is OFF.
Users who wish to use the multiuser feature may,
- Build screen using the MULTIUSER option, or
- Poudriere users can use poudriere-options to enable the MULTIUSER
option, or
- Users can chmod the setuid bit for ${LOCALBASE}/bin/screen-4.9.0,
making screen setuid root to enable the multiuser feature.
20220326:
AFFECTS: users of misc/freebsd-doc-*
AUTHOR: blackend@FreeBSD.org
A change to the doc toolchain prevents the build of individual
localized HTML versions of the documentation without building the
en_US version. HTML option is currently disabled until a good
solution is found. PDF version, the default option, is now the only
available option.
Please re-run "make config" to pick up this new default.
20220313:
AFFECTS: users of net/unison
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
unison has been updated to version 2.52. The new version introduces
a new wire protocol and on disk archive format. This new version
is compatible with 2.51 clients for communication, so it's now
possible to upgrade one side and then the other.
The archive files are automatically converted to the new version,
but once they are converted the y are incompatible with the
previous version.
In case you need version 2.51, the previous version of the port
is preserved in net/unison251.

20220212:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php8[01][-extensions]?
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
Non-Default OPTION MYSQL80 has been removed in lieu of making
php8[01]-openssl as part of DEFAULT php8[01] installation. Although
for php74 it is not the case. Ports that depends on
security/php8[01]-openssl will no longer be installed as these have
been removed. There is no side effect of this for ports which have
USE_PHP=openssl. In case for php74 as the default php74-openssl will
be installed otherwise it will be used from php installation.
If you are using pkg, you have to remove php8[01]-openssl manually after
the upgrade :
# pkg info \*php8\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
# pkg upgrade -y
# pkg delete -f php8[01]-openssl
# service -R
While rebuilding from ports users old php.conf is not overwritten. So
have to manually remove the ports. For portmaster users:
# sh
# REINSTALL="$(pkg info -o "*php80*" | grep -v openssl | awk '{printf "%s ", $2}')"
# pkg delete -f "*php80*"
# portmaster $REINSTALL
# portmaster -a
20220207:
AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-new
AUTHOR: flo@FreeBSD.org
Amavis does now depend on archivers/7-zip (7zz) you might need to update
your amavisd.conf and replace all ocurances of p7zip (7zr) accordingly.
20220129:
AFFECTS: users of editors/neovim
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
Neovim now uses luajit-openresty as the Lua provider. Many neovim plugins
compile some of their code (Packer does this, as do many LSP plugins).
Neovim will produce errors and fail to load the plugins.
Deleting and reinstalling any plugins that produce errors should fix the
startup.
If you use Packer, you also want to delete the startup cache:

The default version of mail/bogofilter now uses LMDB instead
of Berkeley DB. It is not compatible and cannot read databases.
Your options are:
1. use bogoutil on each wordlist for each of your users first,
ONLY THEN reinstall bogofilter, THEN reload the databases with bogoutil,
OR
2. install the matching bogofilter version and
If you had been using bogofilter-lmdb so far, install bogofilter.
If you had been using bogofilter so far, install bogofilter-bdb.
20220125:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php74
AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PHP has been switched from 7.4 to 8.0.
If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
before running 'pkg upgrade':
# pkg info \*php7\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
If you use mod_php74 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php80.
20220120:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/dwm
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
dwm has been updated to 6.3. The option RUGAPS is no longer available because

AFFECTS: AFFECTS: users of *-emacs2x-* packages
AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org
To avoid problems when editors/emacs or editors/emacs-devel are
updated, the emacs major version has been removed from these package
names.
For example, the old and new package names of devel/magit are
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Old Package Name | New Package Name |
|-------------------------- |-----------------------------|
| magit-emacs27 | magit |
| magit-emacs27_nox | magit-emacs_nox |
| magit-emacs27_canna | magit-emacs_canna |
| | |
| magit-emacs29_nox | magit-emacs_devel_nox |
| magit-emacs29 | magit-emacs_devel |
-----------------------------------------------------------
To handle these final package name changes, follow a similar procedure
as the one described in the 20200811 entry. That is, simply running
`pkg upgrade` will not upgrade, e.g., foo-emacs27_nox to
foo-emacs_nox.
Binary package users:
To update these packages, run these commands under /bin/sh with superuser
privileges before upgrading.

You can overwrite this by defining in /etc/make.conf, e.g. version 17:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=nodejs=17
Or if you would like to stick always to the current version use:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=nodejs=current
If you would like to use yarn or npm together with nodejs version 17,
just install the package that is pulling the wanted dependency to nodejs:
# pkg install yarn-node17
# pkg install npm-node17

AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest stable version 3.4 of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
list of dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/devcpu-data
AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org
The RC variable name microcode_cpus is now deprecated. Users should
instead use the variable microcode_update_cpus.
Two new ports were branched from sysutils/devcpu-data,
sysustils/devcpu-data-amd and sysustils/devcpu-data-intel. The two
new ports contain only the CPU microcode updates for each vendor and
sysutils/devcpu-data now only contains an RC script. Both new ports
are on-by-default, optional dependencies of sysutils/devcpu-data.
20211101:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/redisearch
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The textproc/redisearch port has been updated to the recent stable
release - v2.2. Users wanting to stay on v2.0 can replace
textproc/redisearch with textproc/redisearch20 with one of the
following commands:
# pkg install textproc/redisearch20
or
# portmaster -o textproc/redisearch20 textproc/redisearch
or
# portupgrade -o textproc/redisearch20 textproc/redisearch
NOTE: The textproc/redisearch20 brings a new name for the module,
i.e. redisearch20.so, so be careful.
20211024:
AFFECTS: sysutils/beats7
AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org
The following breaking changes apply to beats 7.15.0 and newer:
- All beats:
Loading Kibana assets (dashboards, index templates) rely on Saved Object API.
So to provide a reliable service, Beats can only import and export dashboards
using at least Kibana 7.15.
- Filebeat:
- Remove all alias fields pointing to ECS fields from modules. This affects
the Suricata and Traefik modules.
- Fix Crowdstrike ingest pipeline that was creating flattened process fields.
- Rename log.path to log.file.path in filestream to be consistent with log
input and ECS.
- Heartbeat:
- Remove long deprecated watch_poll functionality.
- Fix inconsistency in event.dataset values between heartbeat and fleet by
always setting this value to the monitor type / fleet dataset.
- Metricbeat:
- Fix Elasticsearch jvm.gc.collectors.old being exposed as young

20211024:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 12 to 13.
The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
speedup of the upgrade.
The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.
Upgrade instructions:
First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 12.8, your
files are named according to this.
# service postgresql stop
# pkg create postgresql12-server postgresql12-contrib
# mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql12-server-12.8.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql12-contrib-12.8.pkg -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# pkg delete -f databases/postgresql12-server databases/postgresql12-contrib databases/postgresql12-client
Now update PostgreSQL:
pkg user:
# pkg install databases/postgresql13-server databases/postgresql13-contrib
# pkg upgrade
Portmaster users:
# portmaster databases/postgresql13-server databases/postgresql13-contrib
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall databases/postgresql13-server databases/postgresql13-contrib
# portupgrade -a
After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
all your databases to new version:
# su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data13 -U postgres"
# su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data12/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data13/ -U postgres "
Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
# service postgresql start
ATTENTION:
1) The default user changed from "pgsql" to "postgres" in 11. The migration steps above now assume
the "postgres" database user and FreeBSD user.
2) See the updating entry 20190829 if you are updating from a release prior to 11.
3) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly
20211023:
AFFECTS: users of www/node
AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
The www/node port has been updated to Node.js v17.0.0, the latest
upstream release. A new port, www/node16, has been created for the
upcoming v16.x LTS branch. Users wanting to stay on v16.x can replace
www/node with www/node16 with one of the following commands:
# pkg install www/node16
or
# portmaster -o www/node16 www/node
or
# portupgrade -o www/node16 www/node
20211012:
AFFECTS: users of devel/git
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
devel/git port was split into multiple sub-ports that depend on devel/git
and install additional files:
- devel/git-cvs - CVS related scripts and man pages
- devel/git-gui - GUI related scripts and man pages
- devel/git-p4 - Perforce related scripts and man pages
- devel/git-svn - Subversion related scripts and man pages
Due to these changes, CVS, GUI, PERFORCE, and SUBVERSION options
as well as gui and svn flavors were removed from the port.
20211010:
AFFECTS: users of gtk2 flavored devel/geany*
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Upstream dropped support for gtk2. Due to this the ports are now
unflavored, installing only with gtk3 support.
If you are already using the default gtk3 flavor will get the new
version with a simple "pkg upgrade".
To upgrade when using the gtk2 flavors you need to use "pkg install"
to install the new unflavored gtk3 packages, pkg will automatically
uninstall the old gtk2 flavors.
If using ports, you will need to uninstall all geany packages and
its plugins and reinstall from an updated ports tree.
The "geany-plugin-multiterm" plugin was only available as a gtk2
flavor when installing the gtk2 flavor of geany and has not been
ported to gtk3, so has been removed from the tree, so the
geany-plugin-multiterm-gtk2 package should be removed from the system.
20211007:
AFFECTS: user of security/clamav
AUTHOR: yasu@FreeBSD.org
Upstream changed end-of-life policy and introduced long time support
(LTS) feature release.
* LTS feature release will be identified approximately every two
years and supported for at least three years from the initial
publication date of that LTS feature version.
* Regular (non-LTS) feature releases will be supported for at least
four months from the initial publication date of the next feature
release or until the feature release after that is published.
According to it new port security/clamav-lts is added for users who
want to use LTS version of ClamAV.
Users wanting to switch to LTS version can replace security/clamav
with security/clamav-lts with one of following commands.
If you use pkg with binary packages:
# pkg set -o security/clamav:security/clamav-lts
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster:
# portmaster -o security/clamav-lts security/clamav
If you use portupgrade:
# portupgrade -o security/clamav-lts security/clamav
20211006:
AFFECTS: users of misc/freebsd-doc-*
AUTHOR: blackend@FreeBSD.org
The misc/freebsd-doc-* ports have been updated to the new doc toolchain,
and use a somewhat different arrangement of directories and symlinks,
which pkg 1.17 does not handle well.
Users are encouraged to delete the misc/freebsd-doc-* ports, then
reinstall the new ones without using the pkg upgrade facility.
20211006:
AFFECTS: users of net/kafkacat
AUTHOR: sergey@akhmatov.ru
kafkacat has been renamed to kcat upstream.
So switch to net/kcat instead.
20211004:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
/!\ WARNING /!\
The NetBox 3.0 release contains major changes, so at least items 1.), 2.)
and 3.) must be checked before proceeding with the upgrade!
/!\ WARNING /!\
1. Please ensure that your local installation of net-mgmt/netbox is at
the 2.11 release before attempting to upgrade to NetBox 3.0 or later.
2. Please also note that the previously deprecated secrets functionality
has been removed with NetBox 3.0. This means, all of the secrets still
remain in the database once upgraded, only the secrets functionality on
the part of NetBox is no longer given.
In order to continue to be able to access the stored secrets as usual
(and then possibly migrate them to another solution, e.g.
security/vault), please install the security/py-netbox-secretstore port
once NetBox has been upgraded to 3.x and follow its installation
instructions how to enable the plugin.
3. If plugins are used, they should be temporarily deactivated to avoid
disruptions during the upgrade process.
4. Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.
20211004:
AFFECTS: users of www/py-pyjwt
AUTHOR: rhurlin@FreeBSD.org
To make it possible to easily import py-pyjwt v2.x the current port was
moved to a versioned directory.
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -o www/py-pyjwt1 www/py-pyjwt
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fo www/py-pyjwt1 www/py-pyjwt
If you use pkg with binary packages:

AFFECTS: x11-wm/cage, x11-wm/hikari, x11-wm/labwc, x11-wm/sway, x11-wm/wayfire
AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
SUID option has been removed in favor of seatd-launch(1) which doesn't
require special handling in every consumer and doesn't bypass group
permissions. If you've already enabled seatd service or use consolekit2
then nothing changes. Otherwise,
$ sway
00:00:00.001 [ERROR] [wlr] [libseat] [libseat/libseat.c:83] No backend was able to open a seat
00:00:00.001 [ERROR] [wlr] [backend/session/session.c:84] Unable to create seat: Function not implemented

Replace "sway" with your compositor e.g., "cage", "hikari", "labwc", "wayfire".
20210907:
AFFECTS: consumers of math/eigen[23]
AUTHOR: adridg@FreeBSD.org
math/eigen2 has been marked deprecated. There do not seem to be any
consumers in FreeBSD ports.
math/eigen3 has had its options re-vamped. The default options previously
pulled in multiple useless library dependencies. The options also forced
a specific BLAS implementation. The new options depend only on the
default BLAS (whatever USES=blaslapack picks), but this can be turned
off. The previous multiple useless libraries -- which are not useless
when running the tests in Eigen -- are now hidden behind the default-off
TEST option.
Users of a carefully-tuned Eigen build should re-evaluate the options
available.
20210902:
AFFECTS: users of editors/vim
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The vim ports have been completely reworked to take advantage of flavors.
The biggest change is that the `vim' package is now console-only. If
you want the GTk3 GUI, you'll need to install the `vim-gtk3' package
instead. All the GUI toolkits have their own package now: vim-gtk3,
vim-gtk2, -athena, -motif, and -x11. The vim-tiny package still exists.
Also: only python3 bindings are included now. There are very few plugins
written in Perl or Ruby, so there really wasn't a need to bundle those
languages with Vim. They still exist as OPTIONS, so you can still enable
them if you'd like. Also, support for py27 has been dropped.
20210901:
AFFECTS: users of audio/ampache
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
With the upgrade to Ampache 5.0.0, the root Ampache folder has changed
to %%WWWDIR%%/ampache/public. Please update your web server aliases,
for example if you use Apache, then in httpd.conf make sure the lines
look like this:
Alias /ampache /usr/local/www/ampache/public
<Directory "/usr/local/www/ampache/public">
If you have customised your .htaccess files to allow for a different
alias, you'll need to move them to the new location after upgrading:
# sh -c 'cd /usr/local/www/ampache && for f in */.htaccess; do mv $f public/$f; done'
More upgrade notes can be found on Github:
https://github.com/ampache/ampache/releases/tag/5.0.0
20210823:
AFFECTS: users of mail/mu
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
mail/mu now uses XDG Base Directory Specification for the default
locations for various files. The mu database now lives under
~/.cache/mu rather than ~/.mu by default. After upgrading,
move the contents under ~/.mu to ~/.cache/mu.
20210823:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfixadmin

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/beats7
AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org
Beats may not be sending data to some distributions of Elasticsearch
In this release, Elastic is enabling a licensing change that was broadly
communicated earlier in 2021. This change would imply that 7.13 instances of
Beats would fail to connect to 7.10 or earlier open source distributions of
Elasticsearch and Kibana.
The most visible effect is that sysutils/beats7 users can expect
difficulties to send data to Elastic instances hosted in AWS.

AFFECTS: users of x11/rxvt-unicode
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
Since 9.26, there is a regression in resource parsing, which no longer
accepts a prefix of the form "URxvt*keysym" ("*." is equivalent to "*").
Changing "*." to "." should make your bindings work again.
20210704:
AFFECTS: users of misc/qtchooser
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
QtChooser allows you to select your version of Qt among those installed.
However, this tool is no longer supported upstream and will not be
available for Qt6.
By default, our Qt installations are done in:
${LOCALBASE}/lib/qt${QT_VERSION} as recommended.
We have added symbolic linking for the main binaries to
${LOCALBASE}/bin with the suffix -qt5.

AFFECTS: users of graphics/mesa-libs and x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org
Some libraries from mesa-libs are now provided by libglvnd while
others were renamed. nvidia-driver already used libglvnd but bundled
a copy which is now provided as a separate package. When building
outside poudriere make sure to remove mesa-libs and nvidia-driver
first in order to avoid conflict with libglvnd.

AUTHOR: olce.freebsd@certner.fr
Bundled readline now will use LOCALBASE/etc/inputrc as its ultimate default
inputrc file (instead of /etc/inputrc). This puts these ports in line with
what devel/readline has been doing recently (since 20210103).
20210414:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/OpenEXR or graphics/ilmbase
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
graphics/ilmbase was removed in favor of math/Imath 3.0.1,
and graphics/OpenEXR was updated to 3.0.1. Ports that depend on
OpenEXR and/or ilmbase according to INDEX were patched,
for ports where OpenEXR is an option that defaults to off, these
typical items needs to be changed - file bug reports in that case,
preferably with tested patches:
- The IlmBase parts Imath and half are now repackaged as Imath
- The IlmThread and Iex libraries are now part of OpenEXR
- Some header files were rearranged accordingly, into
${LOCALBASE}/include/OpenEXR vs. ${LOCALBASE}/include/Imath
- Some code needs a few #include statements added, often
#include <ImfHeader.h> or #include <ImfFrameBuffer.h>
- Some classes were removed, and the C++11 standard library
features need to be used, f. i. std::numeric_limits.
- Some code used Int64 or SInt64 should use uint64_t or int64_t.

AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org
A wireguard kernel implementation supporting FreeBSD 12.1 and newer was
added as net/wireguard-kmod recently.
The new default for users of net/wireguard is the kernel module.
If you experience problems with it you can switch back to wireguard-go
by removing net/wireguard-kmod and making sure net/wireguard-go is
installed.
The userland tools wg-quick(8) and wg(8) try to use kernel support if
the kernel module is available and otherwise fall back to wireguard-go
automatically. Config files are fully compatible.

The stroke starter interface has been deprecated by upstream
for some time now. The default interface for controlling the charon
daemon has switched from stroke to vici. Users still using the
legacy config files such as ipsec.conf and ipsec.secret (stroke, starter)
can easily revert to the old behavior by:
# sysrc strongswan_interface="stroke"
It is recommended to use the vici interface which is configured by swanctl.conf.
Check : https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Fromipsecconf
to ease the transition from ipsec.* to swanctl.conf

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/phpipam
AUTHOR: marko.cupac@mimar.rs
ipaddresses table in phpipam database is likely to contain incorrect datetime
values which prevent successful upgrade. Make sure to create backup of
phpipam database. Before starting upgrade wizard in web interface run the
following SQL query on phpipam database:
UPDATE ipaddresses SET lastSeen='1970-01-01 00:00:01' WHERE lastSeen < '0000-01-01 00:00:00';

AFFECTS: users of textproc/redisearch
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The textproc/redisearch port has been updated to the recent stable
release - v2.0. Users wanting to stay on v1.6 can replace
textproc/redisearch with textproc/redisearch16 with one of the
following commands:
# pkg install textproc/redisearch16
or
# portmaster -o textproc/redisearch16 textproc/redisearch
or
# portupgrade -o textproc/redisearch16 textproc/redisearch
NOTE: The textproc/redisearch16 brings a new name for the module,
i.e. redisearch16.so, so be careful.
20210309:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
emulators/virtualbox-ose has been updated to 6.1.18. This new
version only works on amd64 hardware.
Previous version 5.x of the virtualbox ports have been preserved
as emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy and similarly named ports for
the other parts.
If you can't run the latest version or wish to stay with the old
version, please install the legacy ports.
Also the additions at present build successfully only for amd64.
If you need i386 additions you can fallback to the old legacy
ones.
NOTE: There is no support for moving saved running machine states
across major updates of virtualbox. It is recommended to properly
shutdown all virtual machines before upgrading. Otherwise the saved
state can simply be discarded after the upgrade, if it's not
important to preserve it.
It should also be possible to downgrade to the legacy ports and
shutdown the machine properly from the saved state and then upgrade
back again.

20210208:
AFFECTS: users of mail/mailscanner
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
The clamavmodule has finally been removed after a long deprecation
period. Please remove all references to it in your mailscanner.conf as
it will now count as a syntax error and may stop MailScanner starting!

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
The Django templating language (DTL) is no longer supported for export
templates. Please ensure that all export templates use Jinja2 before
upgrading.
Also the support for embedded graphs was completely removed and several
changes to the REST API were made. Please check the changelogs for
further details.

AFFECTS: users of net-im/matterircd
AUTHOR: norrland@nullbyte.se
Commandline switches
Switched to viper for cmdline parsing, which does not support "short" flags.
You'll need to use --flag instead of -flag. Eg ./matterircd --debug
Bridge specific configuration is now only in configuration file. This means
the following flags have been removed: -restrict,-mmteam,-mmserver,
-mminsecure,-mmskiptlsverify.
You can set those in matterircd.toml, see the example file.
Config changes
BlacklistUser feature for slack has been renamed to DenyUsers.
JoinMpImOnTalk feature has been renamed to JoinDM and is available for
slack/mattermost

20210102:
AFFECTS: x11/libexo, XFCE4 desktop users
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
XFCE4 has been updated to version 4.16. Unluckily due to how the
update works out it interacts badly with a defect in pkg which can
cause files from the libexo package to be absent after upgrade.
To avoid the issue, before upgrading all packages, please update
libexo by itself:
# pkg upgrade libexo
# pkg upgrade
If you have already upgraded and you notice XFCE issues due to
missing libraries you can recover easily by forcing reinstallation
of libexo:
# pkg upgrade -f libexo
Users upgrading via ports should not be affected.
20201228:
AFFECTS: www/py-flexget
AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
py-flexget (or py37-flexget) has been renamed to flexget.
"pkg upgrade" doesn't track MOVED file unlike portmaster, so
provide a hint e.g.,
$ pkg upgrade -x flexget
or install again, letting pkg remove the old version
$ pkg install flexget
20201218:
AFFECTS: users of www/qt5-webengine

AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby26
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 2.6 to 2.7.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.6 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 2.6 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.6
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkg, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you do not use pkg, please check entry 20190420.
The description there should also work for this version.

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/pushgateway
AUTHOR: rhurlin@FreeBSD.org
The v0.10.0 release changes the storage format. v0.10 can read the
storage format of v0.5--v0.9. It will then persist the new format so
that a downgrade won't be possible anymore [1].
For later releases >= v1.0.0 only persistence files created by v0.10+
are usable. So please, upgrade to v0.10 first to convert existing
persistence files.
It is intended to replace v0.10.0 in about four weeks from now (not
before 2020-12-12) by >= v1.3.0.

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Changes related to the NetBox configuration:
1. If in use, LDAP authentication must be enabled by setting
REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND to 'netbox.authentication.LDAPBackend'. (The LDAP
configuration parameters in ldap_config.py remain unchanged.)
2. REMOTE_AUTH_DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS now takes a dictionary rather than a
list. This is a mapping of permission names to a dictionary of
constraining attributes, or None.
For example, ['dcim.add_site', 'dcim.change_site'] would become
{'dcim.add_site': None, 'dcim.change_site': None}.
3. Support for the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT parameter under REDIS database
configuration was removed. Set RQ_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT as a global
configuration parameter instead.
Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/tenshi
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
The default location for tenshi's configuration file has changed. It was
moved to /usr/local/etc/tenshi/tenshi.conf from /usr/local/etc/tenshi.conf
in order to follow upstream defaults.
20201002:
AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail beginning with 6.4.12_1
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Note that if you are using fetchmail in a multi-user setup, i. e. with the
fetchmail_users (mind the -s!) variable set, the $fetchmail_home_prefix +
user second-guess work has been replaced by a real lookup of the user's home
directory. In the majority of configurations, this should not make a
difference, in some setups, it may open up some flexibility.
The fetchmail_home_prefix variable is ignored from 6.4.12_1 onwards.
Also, the rc script redirects its input from /dev/null so that passwords
will not be interactively queried from an rcfile. Put passwords into
the [.]fetchmailrc or into a .netrc file.
20201002:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/modules
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
The upstream developers of the Modules port encourage users to consult
the MIGRATING document, which describes the major changes occurring between
versions of Modules. It provides an overview of the new features and changed
behaviors that will be encountered when upgrading:

20200930:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/syslog-ng32[789]
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
rc.conf variables syslog_ng_config and syslog_ng_pid have been replaced
by syslog_ng_flags and syslog_ng_pidfile respectively, making them
consistent with the rest of the ports tree. syslog_ng_config and
syslog_ng_pid will continue to work until syslog-ng331 has been
released and imported into ports.
20200924:
AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius3, who need python support
AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org
FreeRADIUS 3.x currently uses python 2.7 for rlm_python support, which has
been deprecated and will be removed from the tree at the end of this year.
Starting in 3.0.21_2, the PYTHON option has been converted to use python 3.x.
Users should verify their python scripts are 3.x compatible and upgrade to
3.0.21_2 (or higher) to bring in python 3.x support.
20200921:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 11 to 12.
The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
speedup of the upgrade.
The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.
Upgrade instructions:
First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 11.9, your
files are named according to this.
# service postgresql stop
# pkg create postgresql11-server postgresql11-contrib
# mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql11-server-11.9.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql11-contrib-11.9.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# pkg delete -f databases/postgresql11-server databases/postgresql11-contrib databases/postgresql11-client
Now update PostgreSQL:
pkg user:
# pkg install databases/postgresql12-server databases/postgresql12-contrib
# pkg upgrade
Portmaster users:
# portmaster databases/postgresql12-server databases/postgresql12-contrib
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall databases/postgresql12-server databases/postgresql12-contrib
# portupgrade -a
After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
all your databases to new version:
# su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data12 -U postgres"
# su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data11/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data12/ -U postgres "
Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
# service postgresql start
ATTENTION:
1) The default user changed from "pgsql" to "postgres" in 11. The migration steps above now assume
the "postgres" database user and FreeBSD user.
2) See the updating entry 20190829 if you are updating from a release prior to 11.
3) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly
20200918:
AFFECTS: users of mail/thunderbird
AUTHOR: cmt@FreeBSD.org
Thunderbird has been updated to the 78esr series. Thunderbird will
try to convert old profiles on first start, but conversion may fail
especially on old profiles. Also, older versions of Thunderbird will
not be able to use a profile once it has been converted. It is
strongly recommended to move any ~/.thunderbird folder away before
starting Thunderbird 78 for the first time, thus creating a new and
empty profile.
Also note that OpenPGP functionality has been integrated into Thunderbird,
obsoleting the Enigmail extension.
Check https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP for details, and
especially https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards
if your private key lives on a smartcard.
20200914:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php72
AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PHP has been switched from 7.2 to 7.4.
If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
before running 'pkg upgrade':
# pkg info php7\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
If you use mod_php72 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php74.
20200811:
AFFECTS: users of *-emacs26-* packages
AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org
With the release of Emacs version 27.1, the major version of editors/emacs has
changed from 26 to 27. This means the names of some dependent packages have
also changed, so simply running `pkg upgrade` will not upgrade foo-emacs26-x
to foo-emacs27-x. To update these packages, run these commands with superuser
privileges.
Binary package users:
# sh
# for i in $(pkg query -g %n '*-emacs26*'); do \
nn=$(echo "$i" | sed -e 's/emacs26/emacs27/'); \
pkg set -yn "$i":"$nn"; \
done;
# pkg upgrade
portmaster users:
# portmaster -r emacs
20200803:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.32. If you are using
binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg
upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, follow the

AFFECTS: users of www/baikal
AUTHOR: gahr@FreeBSD.org
The www/baikal has been updated to 0.7.1. With the 0.7.0 release, our
configuration format was updated to use YAML files. You need to go through

Keep in mind that the path of configuration file is changed from
${PREFIX}/etc/postfix-policyd-spf-python/policyd-spf.conf to
${PREFIX}/etc/python-policyd-spf/policyd-spf.conf. So you need to move
it to new location unless you use the default one without changing.

AUTHOR: arrowd@FreeBSD.org
The home directory of sddm user has been moved to /var/lib/sddm. It is advised
to run following commands as root after updating the package:
# pw usermod -n sddm -d /var/lib/sddm
# pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd
# mv /usr/local/etc/sddm/home/state.conf /var/lib/sddm/state.conf

Otherwise, SDDM will keep using /usr/local/etc/sddm/home/ as its HOME.
20200515:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libphutil, devel/arcanist-lib, devel/phabricator
AUTHOR: grembo@FreeBSD.org
Upstream fully deprecated devel/libphutil and merged its functionality
into devel/arcanist-lib and devel/phabricator. As a result, the
devel/libphutil port will be removed from the ports tree.
After upgrading devel/(arcanist-lib|phabricator) to version 20200514, it is
recommended to remove the orphaned libphutil package by running:
# pkg delete php\*-libphutil
Alternatively, 'pkg autoremove' will also work as expected, but might
remove orphaned packages unrelated to this update.

AFFECTS: users of net-im/pidgin-rocketchat
AUTHOR: tobias.rehbein@web.de
This port has been turned into a libpurple plugin (net-im/purple-rocketchat)

This also changes some dependencies and you should run the following command
to prevent pidgin from being autoremoved.
# mark pidgin as being not automatically installed
pkg set -A 0 pidgin

20200326:
AFFECTS: users of devel/sonarqube and devel/sonar-ant-task
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The outdated port devel/sonarqube has moved to
devel/sonarqube-community to make it clear that it is the community
edition. The log and DB files are still stored in the same location.
The devel/sonar-ant-task port has moved to devel/sonarqube-ant-task
to match the upstream-name. The install location is renamed
accordingly.
At the same time the user/group of the sonarqube port changed from
www:www to sonarqube:sonarqube.
It is expected that nobody was using the 6.2 version from 2016
anymore and no change needs to be done. No analysis was done to check
if the old 6.2 version can be updated in-place to the 8.2 version.
As such if there is still someone using the old 6.2 version, you may
have to delete /var/log/sonarqube and /var/db/sonarqube before
installing the new version.
20200320
AFFECTS: users of devel/qca
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
New versions of devel/qca stopped supporting OpenSSL < 1.1.
For this reason devel/qca-legacy has been added, which is
held back at an older version until FreeBSD 11 goes EOL.
Ports depending on devel/qca should stop adding direct LIB_DEPENDS
and switch to depending on it via USES=qca.
FreeBSD 11 users might want to run something like
pkg set -o devel/qca:devel/qca-legacy
20200320:
AFFECTS: users of x11/libxkbcommon
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The libxkbcommon library (x11/libxkbcommon), used to handle keyboards
in some applications, most notably kde and wayland, have been switched
to use evdev rules by default on FreeBSD 12 and later. Some keys, most
notably arrow keys, may not work in applications using libxkbcommon if
you are using xf86-input-keyboard rather than xf86-input-libinput.
If you have trouble with the keyboard keys, and if /var/log/Xorg.*.log
shows that the "kbd" or "keyboard" driver is being used, you need to
switch to legacy rules by setting the environment variable
XKB_DEFAULT_RULES to xorg.
This switch is made to match the default configuration on FreeBSD 12.1 and
later, the default configuration on FreeBSD 11.3 still uses the legacy
rules.

AUTHOR: dmgk@FreeBSD.org
The config file location was changed from ~/.slack-term to
~/.config/slack-term/config, please move your existing config file

20200308
AFFECTS: users of graphics/mesa-libs and legacy graphics drivers
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The mesa OpenGL library (graphics/mesa-libs) has been switched to use DRI3
by default, instead of the older DRI2 interface. This might cause regressions
when using the legacy graphics drivers, either through
graphics/drm-legacy-kmod or the graphics drivers in base.
If you experience issues when running OpenGL applications it is possible
to force the use of DRI2 by setting the LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE environment
variable to 1 before starting any OpenGL application. The easiest way to
do this is by adding it to either your shell startup files or .xinitrc.
20200306
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql80-server
AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org
As of MySQL 8.0.16, the MySQL server performs the upgrade tasks previously
handled by mysql_upgrade. Consequently, mysql_upgrade is unneeded and is
deprecated as of that version, and will be removed in a future MySQL version.
Because mysql_upgrade no longer performs upgrade tasks,
it exits with status 0 unconditionally.
20200303:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/librenms
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
1. Apache / mod_php options removed
The APACHEMOD option has been removed. LibreNMS can be used
with other webservers, not just Apache. In order to simplify
the port, the option was removed.
Now you manually install the webserver of your preference.
If upgrading from LibreNMS < 1.61, you can do this to
prevent 'pkg autoremove' from uninstalling Apache / mod_php:
$ sudo pkg set -A 0 apache24 mod_php74
Mark apache24-2.4.41 as not automatically installed? [y/N]: y
Mark mod_php74-7.4.3 as not automatically installed? [y/N]: y
Adjust mod_php74 to suit the version of mod_php you have.
2. include/defaults.inc.php is gone
The file include/defaults.inc.php is no longer distributed by
the upstream project. The FreeBSD port patched this file to
correct the paths to common tools such as ping, snmpwalk, etc.
These values previously adjusted by the port must now be specified
in config.php. New installs will have this automatically, but existing
installs must be updated manually. These are the entries you should
add if upgrading from LibreNMS < 1.61:
$config['snmpwalk'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpwalk';
$config['snmpget'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpget';
$config['snmpbulkwalk'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpbulkwalk';
$config['snmptranslate'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmptranslate';
$config['ping'] = '/sbin/ping';
$config['mtr'] = '/usr/local/bin/mtr';
$config['nmap'] = '/usr/local/bin/nmap';
$config['nagios_plugins'] = '/usr/local/libexec/nagios';

20200225:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
1. Removal of the Topology Maps feature
The deprecated topology maps feature has been removed. Please replicate
any required data to another source before upgrading NetBox to v2.7.7, as
any existing topology maps will be deleted.
2. Changed REDIS database configuration settings
The REDIS database configuration parameters were splitted up in two
discrete subsections named "webhooks" and "caching" with the 2.7 release.
This requires modification of the REDIS parameter in configuration.py as
follows:
Old Redis sample configuration:
REDIS = {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6379,
'PASSWORD': '',
'DATABASE': 0,
'CACHE_DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
}
New Redis sample configuration:
REDIS = {
'webhooks': {
'HOST': 'redis.example.com',
'PORT': 1234,
'PASSWORD': 'foobar',
'DATABASE': 0,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
},
'caching': {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6379,
'PASSWORD': '',
'DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
}
}
Note that the CACHE_DATABASE parameter has been removed and the connection
settings have been duplicated for both webhooks and caching. This allows
one to make use of separate Redis instances if desired. It is fine to use
the same Redis service for both functions, although the database
identifiers should be different.
Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.
20200223:
AFFECTS: users of security/gsasl
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The library part of security/gsasl has been split into security/libgsasl.
The security/gsasl now depends on security/libgsasl. Due to this change,
old security/gsasl conflicts with the new security/libgsasl and it can
prevent the installed security/gsasl from upgrading. Please remove the
installed security/gsasl before upgrading if a conflict error occurs.
20200220:
AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
x11-servers/xorg-server has been updated to 1.20.7.
With this update, xorg-server has switched from using the devd backend to
the udev backend for device configuration on FreeBSD 12 and 13. If you have
issues with input devices, please see the install message for details.
The HAL backend option has been completely removed, as it was deprecated.
If you have problems with input devices, ensure that both x11/libinput and
x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput are installed. They are installed in the
default configuration, but if you have a custom configuration, they might not
be.
20200210:

# copy the data directory
cp -a /usr/local/var/lib/prosody /var/db/
rm -f /var/db/prosody/prosody.pid
Make sure your prosody config has the following option set:
pidfile = "/var/run/prosody/prosody.pid"

AFFECTS: consumers of net/py-urllib3
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Since version 1.25 HTTPS connections are now verified by default which is
done via "cert_reqs = 'CERT_REQUIRED'". While certificate verification
can be disabled via "cert_reqs = 'CERT_NONE'", it's highly recommended to
leave it on.
Various consumers of net/py-urllib3 already have implemented routines that
either explicitly enable or disable HTTPS certificate verification (e.g.
via configuration settings, CLI arguments, etc.).
Yet it may happen that there are still some consumers which don't
explicitly enable/disable certificate verification for HTTPS connections
which could then lead to errors (as is often the case with self-signed
certificates).
In case of an error one should try first to temporarily disable
certificate verification of the problematic urllib3 consumer to see if
this approach will remedy the issue.

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Since the 2.6 release a running Redis server instance is required for
caching objects to run. Also the following settings like below need to be
added (or modified) in the existing configuration.py:
REDIS = {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6397,
'PASSWORD': ''
'DATABASE': 0,
'CACHE_DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
}
Note that if you were using these settings in a prior release with
webhooks, the DATABASE setting remains the same but an additional
CACHE_DATABASE settings has been added with a default value of 1 to
support the caching backend.
The DATABASE setting will be renamed in a future release of NetBox to

AFFECTS: users of www/gitlab-ce
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
Make sure you upgrade your PostgreSQL to version 11 as described in 20190829,
before you upgrade your gitlab-ce version.
Gitlab-ce 12.1 needs at least PostgreSQL version 9.6.
After this you can follow the usual upgrade guide:
https://gitlab.fechner.net/mfechner/Gitlab-docu/blob/master/update/12.0-12.1-freebsd.md
20190829:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 9.5 to 11.
The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
speedup of the upgrade.
The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.
Upgrade instructions:
First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 9.5.19, your
files are named according to this.
# service postgresql stop
# pkg create postgresql95-server postgresql95-contrib
# mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql95-server-9.5.19.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql95-contrib-9.5.19.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# pkg delete -f databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib databases/postgresql95-client
Now update PostgreSQL:
pkg user:
# pkg install databases/postgresql11-server databases/postgresql11-contrib
# pkg upgrade
Portmaster users:
# portmaster databases/postgresql11-server databases/postgresql11-contrib
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall databases/postgresql11-server databases/postgresql11-contrib
# portupgrade -a
After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
all your databases to new version:
# su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data11 -U pgsql"
# chown -R postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data/
# su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /usr/local/pgsql/data/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data11/ -U pgsql "
Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
# service postgresql start
ATTENTION:
1) The default user changed from "pgsql" to "postgres". The migration steps above preserve
the "pgsql" database user while the database daemon is now executed as the "postgres" FreeBSD user.
2) The default data dir changed from "/usr/local/pgsql/data/" to "/var/db/postgres/data11/"
3) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

The zetacoin-cli and zetacoin-tx utilities have been re-packaged into
a separate port. If you require these programs, or use the zetacoin-cli
program to access the daemon or the GUI, install net-p2p/zetacoin-utils
to reinstall them.

20190710:
AFFECTS: users with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6 or c6_64 in /etc/make.conf
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
On amd64 adding DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6 to /etc/make.conf made Linux
infrastructure ports (linux_base-c6 and linux-c6*) install i386 CentOS 6
packages. Using c6_64 instead of c6 made them install mixed amd64/i386
CentOS 6 packages and allowed Linux application ports to install amd64
binaries when available. The i386-only configuration was only useful for
users of x11/nvidia-driver* which didn't provide Linux amd64 emulation
until recently.
With x11/nvidia-driver* now supporting Linux amd64 there's no longer a
need for i386-only Linux on amd64 so DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6 has been
changed to make Linux infrastructure ports install mixed amd64/i386
CentOS 6 packages, like c6_64 before, and support for c6_64 has been
removed.
Users with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6 should reinstall linux_base-c6 and
all packages that depend on it. A list of dependent packages can be
obtained with the following command:
pkg info -r linux_base-c6
Users with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=linux=c6_64 only need to replace c6_64 with
c6 in /etc/make.conf.
Users of x11/nvidia-driver* should upgrade to FreeBSD 11.3 or 12.0 if
they want to run Linux amd64 OpenGL programs. If you are running an
older version you may want to postpone installing or updating Linux
application ports until you find the time to upgrade because application
ports may install amd64 binaries now. Infrastructure ports are safe to
reinstall, and so is x11/nvidia-driver*.
On i386 nothing has changed.

AFFECTS: users of net/samba410
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
If you used Samba in AD/DC mode with the previous versions of the port on UFS2
backed storage you have to add usage of vfs_freebsd VFS module for at least
SYSVOL share and configure it to use 'legacy' mode(see manpage).
The reason behind this is that previous versions Samba port used a hack to
workaround broken mapping of Linux security and trusted extended attributes
into FreeBSD namespace. In particular, essential security.NTACL attribute
was replaced with the user.NTACL and placed in a insecure USER namespace.
This port dropped this hack in favor of vfs_freebsd module, which should
provide more controlled way of such a mapping.
To maintain the compatibility with the previous installations on UFS2 storage
(as ZFS uses it's own way of mapping SYSVOL, thanks to the iXsystems patches)
the vfs_freebsd module provides 'legacy' mode that implements old functionality.
For the fresh installations it is recommended to use 'secure' mode of operations
for this module and use it as a global vfs objects.
Caution: The given module is still considered EXPERIMENTAL.

AFFECTS: users of net/samba410, net/samba4[6-8] and devel/talloc?, devel/tevent?, databases/tdb?, databases/ldb*
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
The port of the new version of Samba 4.10 is introduced. Due necessarily
to keep backwards compatibility for the legacy samba4[6-8] ports the
upgrade procedure is a bit convoluted.
You are safe to perform fresh new install of samba410 port. In case you
are upgrading from the previous versions of Samba, please use the
following procedure:
0. Take backups of all the relevant files, in particular PREFIX/etc/smb4.conf
and /var/db/samba4/ subdirectory. Keep in mind that files there (may)
have extended attributes, so use appropriate tools to preserve them.
1a. If you haven't updated Samba between 20190619 and 20190630 then next
step should be as simple as:
portmaster -o net/samba410 net/samba48
1b. If you have been affected by the archiving legacy versions of
Samba-related libraries for legacy versions of Samba, which happened
in the given time frame, then you need to reverse operation from the
20190619 entry:
for users of portmaster:
portmaster -o devel/talloc devel/talloc1
portmaster -o devel/tevent devel/tevent1
portmaster -o databases/tdb databases/tdb1
portmaster -o net/samba410 net/samba48
for users of portupgrade:
portupgrade -o devel/talloc devel/talloc1
portupgrade -o devel/tevent devel/tevent1
portupgrade -o databases/tdb databases/tdb1
portupgrade -o net/samba410 net/samba48
20190619:
AFFECTS: users of samba4[6-8] and devel/talloc, devel/tevent, databases/tdb, databases/ldb*
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
To introduce samba410(we deliberately skip samba49 due the complexity of handling)
and to drop dependency on deprecated Python 2.7, Samba supplementary libraries
talloc, tevent and tdb were split into current Python 3 compatible versions
and legacy ones, with the suffix "1".
Old versions of Samba were changed to depend on the legacy supplementary libraries,
so if you need to install samba46, samba47 or samba48 over previous Samba
installations you need to downgrade supplementary libs with the following commands:
for users of portmaster:
portmaster -o devel/talloc1 devel/talloc
portmaster -o devel/tevent1 devel/tevent
portmaster -o databases/tdb1 databases/tdb
portmaster -r talloc1
for users of portupgrade:
portupgrade -o devel/talloc1 devel/talloc

AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
The directory where all repositories and ssh permissions are stored
was changed from /usr/home/git back to /usr/local/git, to match again the
recommended standards on FreeBSD.
This will cause now some other git management packages to collide with
gitlab. Make sure you migrate all you git repositories to gitlab first,
before you continue.
Make sure /usr/local/git/repositories and /usr/local/git/.ssh are not
existing!
Otherwise the next commands can break your installation for managing
git repositories within gitlab and with your other gitlab management
software!
You must move the old files to the new location with:
# service gitlab stop
# mv /usr/home/git /usr/local/
# pkg upg
Make sure you update your config files, diff shows you what you maybe
must change:
# cd /usr/local/www/gitlab-ce
# git diff config/gitlab.yml.sample config/gitlab.yml
# cd /usr/local/share/gitlab-shell/
# git diff config.yml.sample config.yml
# cd /usr/local/share/gitaly
# git diff config.toml.sample config.toml
# Change home directory of user git back to /usr/local/git
# vipw
The line should now looks like:
git:*:211:211::0:0:gitosis user:/usr/local/git:/bin/sh
If you do an upgrade of gitlab follow the upgrade guide.
If not, just start gitlab again with:

AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd
AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org
If you've mod_mam enabled with compress_xml set to true, then you're affected
by bug where the XML namespace, and tag elements get interchanged in the MAM cache
which results in invalid XML, and causing XMPP clients to disconnect. For more
details, please refer to: https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/2744
This upgrade contains the patch that fixes the problem going forward. For fixing already
affected users, you'll need to wipe off the MAM cache for the affected users:
sudo -u ejabberd -H ejabberdctl remove_mam_for_user <user> <server>

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/mk-livestatus
AUTHOR: egypcio@FreeBSD.org
The default Nagios version supported by net-mgmt/mk-livestatus changed
from Nagios 3 to Nagios 4 - the respective Nagios package was added to
net-mgmt/mk-livestatus' runtime dependencies.
If you still need support for Nagios 3 you just need to change the
options for net-mgmt/mk-livestatus and compile the port yourself.

AFFECTS: users of archivers/urbackup-server
AUTHOR: freebsd@coombscloud.com
Some of the port's sources previously included absolute references to /etc/urbackup.
The upgrade now changes these references to ${PREFIX}/etc/urbackup. If you have
placed any configuration files within /etc/urbackup, these should be relocated to
${PREFIX}/etc/urbackup.
20190130:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/password-store
AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org
password-store now stores plugins in ${PREFIX}/libexec instead of ${PREFIX}/lib.
Ensure to move your own extensions there too and update your scripts to avoid
breakage.
20190124:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/rubygem-fluentd, sysutils/fluent-bit
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The fluentd port has been upgraded from the 0.12 line to 1.3.3. The upgrade
is mostly non-disruptive since there is a backward compatibility with 0.12
plugins and configuration files, but care should be taken about the order of
server upgrades since fluentd 1.x is unable to send it's data to version 0.12
instances. You should carefully read
https://docs.fluentd.org/v1.0/articles/update-from-v0.12 before performing
any upgrade activities.
20190120:
AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The fetchmail port no longer offers the X11 option and no longer
depends on Python. The corresponding fetchmailconf Python program has now
been split out into a separate port or package, so that fetchmail itself
will no longer require Python.
Users who wish to use fetchmailconf should install the new fetchmailconf
port or package.

AFFECTS: users of graphics/qgis
AUTHOR: rhurlin@gwdg.de
GIS 3.4 LTR, the first long-term release (LTR) of QGIS 3, has landed
in the FreeBSD ports tree. It will also replace the previous 2.18 LTR
in the QGIS package repositories in February 2019 [1].
Beside, the latest Qt4 version 4.8.7 has been EOL since December 2015
and its expiration date on FreeBSD is set to March, 15th 2019.
Because QGIS 2 is based on Qt4 and Python2, it was decided to not create
a legacy port for QGIS 2, after graphics/qgis changed to QGIS 3.
For users moving over from the 2.18 LTR there is a huge list of new
features and impactful changes in this new 3.4 LTR version. Most notably
3.x plugins are incompatible with 2.x plugins, so please review your
plugin usage carefully. Before moving over, if you have not already
done so, take a look at the changelogs from versions 3.0, 3.2, and
3.4 [2][3][4] to understand the full scope of changes in the 3.x release.

AFFECTS: x11-wm/sway
AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
swayidle and swaylock split out into x11/swayidle and x11/swaylock.
Check your sway config and install those if required.
20190113:
AFFECTS: users of net/GeoIP
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
Maxmind no longer provides geolocation data in the legacy format used
by net/GeoIP. All GEOIP-related OPTIONS have been removed, and all
GeoIP-dependent ports will be removed soon.
Where possible, you must switch to net/libmaxminddb, which uses the
newer (and fully supported) GeoIP 2 format. Unfortunately, this is
not a drop-in replacement. To fetch the GeoIP 2 geolocation databases,
whether the free or paid versions, you must use net/geoipupdate
(pkg install geoipupdate).
The legacy database is no longer available, and we cannot distribute
it by the Maxmind license, so the legacy GeoIP format is essentially
dead.
20190108:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-connector-java
AUTHOR: matthew@FreeBSD.org
The databases/mysql-connector-java port has been updated to 8.0.13,
which requires a minimum of Java 1.8, so dropping support for Java
1.6 and 1.7. Users of those versions of Java should substitute the
databases/mysql-connector-java51 port which remains at version
5.1.47
20190103:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/vlc*
AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
The multimedia/vlc port has been upgraded to 3.0.5, the latest upstream
release. Subsequently, multimedia/vlc-qt4 and multimedia/vlc3 have been
retired and removed from the ports tree. Users who previously used
multimedia/vlc3 might want to switch to multimedia/vlc with the following
commands:
# pkg install multimedia/vlc
or
# portmaster -o multimedia/vlc multimedia/vlc3
or
# portupgrade -o multimedia/vlc multimedia/vlc3

AFFECTS: users of devel/trio
AUTHOR: rodrigo@freebsd.org
Since trio 1.16-1, the shared lib previously misnamed libtrio.so.2.0.0
is now named libtrio.so.2 and the symlink libtrio.so is created.
20181222:
AFFECTS: users of net/ntopng
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Since ntopng 3.7, for security reasons, the default setting for
the data directory has been changed to "/var/db/ntopng", and the
default user has been changed to "ntopng". This new directory is
created automatically by the port/package with correct permissions.
In order to maintain backward compatibility, if you are already
using "/var/tmp/ntopng" as data directory, ntopng keeps using that
folder, owned by "nobody". This said, using the old defaults is not
recommended and a manual action is required in order to migrate to
the new settings, unless you are already using a custom directory:
# service ntopng stop
# mv /var/tmp/ntopng/* /var/db/ntopng/
# chown -R ntopng:ntopng /var/db/ntopng
# service ntopng start
Please check the upstream FAQ for reference:

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.28. If you are using
binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg
upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, follow the
instructions in entry 20161103, it should still be the same.

AFFECTS: users of news/inn when upgrading to FreeBSD 12
AUTHOR: naddy@FreeBSD.org
When upgrading from FreeBSD 11 to 12, a change in the size of the
ino_t type causes a binary incompatibility in the overview database
if the default tradindexed format is used.
After upgrading the inn package, remove the overview/group.index
file and regenerate the history and overview database with
makehistory(8) before starting innd.
# echo '. /usr/local/news/lib/innshellvars && \
rm -f $OVERVIEWDIR/group.index && \

AFFECTS: users of DRM ports other than graphics/drm-kmod
AUTHOR: jmd@FreeBSD.org
In order to facilitate future porting efforts and help in supporting multiple
FreeBSD versions, the DRM ports other than drm-kmod (graphics/drm-stable-kmod,
graphics/drm-next-kmod, graphics/drm-devel-kmod) have been renamed to
include the FreeBSD version they are designed for.
drm-stable-kmod is drm-fbsd11.2-kmod
drm-next-kmod is drm-fbsd12.0-kmod
drm-devel-kmod is drm-current-kmod
20181209
AFFECTS: users of devel/geany and devel/geany-plugins
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Geany and its plugins port have been moved to gtk3 and a new gtk2
flavor has been added. The gtk2 flavor has a -gtk2 suffix added to the
package name.
If you want to stay with the gtk2 version you need to use "pkg install"
to install the new gtk2 flavor, pkg will automatically deinstall the
gtk3 flavors.
If using port, to maintain the gtk2 version, you will need to deinstall
geany and its plugins and reinstall specifying the gtk2 flavor.
Note that the following plugins are not available if using the new
gtk3 flavor:
* geany-plugin-debugger
* geany-plugin-devhelp
* geany-plugin-geanypy
* geany-plugin-multiterm
* geany-plugin-scope

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/munin-master, sysutils/munin-node, www/owncloud, mail/mailman, net/ntpa
AUTHOR: woodsb02@FreeBSD.org
The newsyslog.conf(5) filename installed by the port has been changed:
OLD: ${PREFIX}/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/${PORTNAME}
NEW: ${PREFIX}/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/${PORTNAME}.conf
Any file found at the old location will be automatically moved to the new
location. This will ensure log rotation will continue to work after change
r340318 to FreeBSD base, where the default newsyslog configuration now only
includes filenames that end with '.conf' and do not begin with '.'.
If you use provisioning/configuration management tools to create or edit this
file, you will need to change their configuration to use the new filename.
20181111
AFFECTS: users of graphics/mesa-libs
AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
Wayland support has been enabled in ports where it doesn't exclude
X11 support in order to make the binary packages usable with Wayland
compositors. If you get strange build failures re-run "make config"

The ossec-hids-client port has been renamed to ossec-hids-agent.
Portmaster users will need to run this command:
portmaster -o security/ossec-hids-agent security/ossec-hids-client
If the switch doesn't happen automatically for you, just delete the
ossec-hids-client package and install ossec-hids-agent.
The "ossechids_enable" rc variable has been renamed to "ossec_hids_enable".

20181031:
AFFECTS: users of www/node
AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
The www/node port has been updated to Node.js v11.0.0, the latest
upstream release. A new port, www/node10, has been created for the
v10.x LTS branch. Users wanting to stay on v10.x can replace www/node
with www/node8 with one of the following commands:
# pkg install www/node10

# portmaster -o www/node10 www/node
or
# portupgrade -o www/node10 www/node
20181022:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php71
AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PHP has been switched from 7.1 to 7.2.
If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
before running 'pkg upgrade':
# pkg info php7\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
If you use mod_php71 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php72.
20181020:
AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.8 of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
list of dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r libressl
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr security/libressl
20181018:
AFFECTS: users of security/hitch
AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org

# pkg set -n ansible:ansible26
20181010:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap and other courier ports
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Courier-IMAP 5.0.0 added IMAP UTF8 support, and converted maildir
folders' names to Unicode.
Updating an existing system to Courier-IMAP 5.0, and later,
requires a manual one-time conversion of all existing maildirs
using the maildirmake command. See the maildirmake(1) manual page
for more information.
All other courier ports accessing maildirs also need to be updated
at the same time.
