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. 20080926: AFFECTS: users of www/squid30 AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de The Squid developers decided to disable COSS support in 3.0, cf. the discussion starting here: http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200809/0067.html The corresponding port configuration option WITH_SQUID_COSS is still available but is a no-op for now. If you currently use COSS storage with Squid 3.0 you need to disable it in squid.conf. 20080924: AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org proftpd now stores its .delay and .scoreboard files in /var/run/proftpd instead of /var/run. If you are updating an existing installation, adjust the following in /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf: ScoreboardFile /var/run/proftpd/proftpd.scoreboard Also of note: The third party modules, mod_codeconv, mod_comb, and mod_sql_tds are not compatible with this release and have been removed. They will be re-added when the respective authors provide updated versions. 20080909: AFFECTS: users of security/logcheck AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org logcheck now stores its configuration files in /usr/local/etc/logcheck instead of /usr/local/etc. If you are upgrading the port from version 1.1.1 to version 1.2.54, copy the following files to a temporary location, in case they are removed during the upgrade: /usr/local/etc/logcheck.hacking /usr/local/etc/logcheck.ignore /usr/local/etc/logcheck.violations /usr/local/etc/logcheck.violations.ignore e.g.: cd /usr/local/etc mkdir /tmp/logcheck.saveconf cp logcheck.hacking logcheck.ignore logcheck.violations* \ /tmp/logcheck.saveconf After the upgrade, integrate your local changes to the files listed above into the new configuration files found in the following directories: /usr/local/etc/logcheck/cracking.d /usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid /usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server /usr/local/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation /usr/local/etc/logcheck/violations.d /usr/local/etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d Please consult the following files for more information about logcheck rules and reporting levels: /usr/local/share/doc/logcheck/README.logcheck /usr/local/share/doc/logcheck/README.logcheck-database Also note that the upgraded port installs a crontab file for user "logcheck" that executes the logcheck script every hour and emails the results to root. If the installation process cannot install the crontab file, it can be installed manually from /usr/local/share/examples/logcheck/crontab.in, e.g.: crontab -u logcheck /usr/local/share/examples/logcheck/crontab.in 20080907: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org www/mediawiki version is 1.13 now. 1.12 version was preserved as www/mediawiki12 port. 20080902: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios and net-mgmt/nagios-devel AUTHOR: Jarrod Sayers The stable Nagios port has now been updated to version 3.0.3. Upgrading to this version shouldn't require any configuration changes, but note that most sample configuration files were moved into objects/ directory. Nagios 2.12 is still available as net-mgmt/nagios2, use the following to remain on this legacy stable branch: portmaster -o net-mgmt/nagios2 net-mgmt/nagios or, if you're using portupgrade: portupgrade -o net-mgmt/nagios2 net-mgmt/nagios Nagios 3.x development continues in net-mgmt/nagios-devel, users of this port in production use should consider switching to the stable branch: portmaster -o net-mgmt/nagios net-mgmt/nagios-devel or, if you're using portupgrade: portupgrade -o net-mgmt/nagios net-mgmt/nagios-devel 20080902: AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org This is a major update. Deprecated: server-side image maps (use client-side instead); definition of categories within proc areadef (use proc categories instead); proc print. Discontinued attributes: proc processdata's stack; proc usedata's element, proc getdata's rotate, and proc defineunits (use the $changeunits() function instead). proc rangebar has been renamed proc boxplot and there are major functionality changes. Any script that uses proc rangebar will need maintenance. See http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/doc/news.html for more information. 20080901: AFFECTS: users of mail/pine4 and editors/pico AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org These two ports have been removed in favor of the new mail/alpine and editors/pico-alpine ports. UW discontinued work on Pine in September 2005 and is focusing on Alpine now. You should be able to directly replace pine with alpine. See http://www.washington.edu/alpine/ for more information. 20080831: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/smokeping AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Smokeping has been updated to 2.4.1, and the example web server configuration has changed. Please read pkg-message and check that your server configuration is OK. 20080827: AFFECTS: users of devel/git AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", and some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in 1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing "git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases. Please see this URL for more information: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.6.0.txt 20080827: AFFECTS: users of mail/qmhandle AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org A qmHandle.conf file was created, for now, is not needed to edit ${PREFIX}/bin/qmHandle to change stopqmail and startqmail variables. Just remember to edit configuration file after upgrade. 20080820: AFFECTS: users of www/p5-Apache-DBI AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org www/p5-Apache-DBI has been forked into a MASTER and SLAVE setup www/p5-Apache-DBI-mp1 and www/p5-Apache-DBI-mp2 so as to work with www/rt38 among possibly other ports. 20080820: AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq AUTHOR: pneumann@gmail.com The database schema has changed in this version of RabbitMQ. If you attempt to start RabbitMQ-1.4.0 over top of a previous installation, it will fail, citing "schema_integrity_check_failed". To correct this, delete your mnesia directory (/var/db/rabbitmq/mnesia) and restart the server. Note that this will destroy all your durable exchanges and queues, and all your persisted messages! 20080816: AFFECTS: users of mail/assp AUTHOR: J.R. Oldroyd The periodic(8) script no longer outputs to files in the assp directory. You should remove /var/db/assp/nightly.log and nightly.log.old by hand once you are done with them. The information that was stored there will now come in your nightly system email. 20080815: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/rdiff-backup AUTHOR: vd@FreeBSD.org sysutils/rdiff-backup has been upgraded from 1.0.5 to 1.2.0. This is an incompatible upgrade. If you need the "old" 1.0.5, you can find it in sysutils/rdiff-backup10. 20080813: AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org The layout of the ikiwiki.setup file has changed in a significant way in this release. Old setup files will continue to work, but new features, like the new websetup interface, require a new format setup file. You can convert old setup files into the new format by running the following command for all your ikiwiki.setup files: ikiwiki-transition setupformat ikiwiki.setup 20080812: AFFECTS: users of mail/spamdyke AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org The spamdyke port has been updated to 4.0.2. The new version is not backwards compatible with previous versions. Please examine the new configuration file for the changes. 20080812: AFFECTS: users of databases/pgbouncer AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org Starting with port version 1.2.3, pgbouncer does not run as root anymore. If you are upgrading from earlier versions, please update your configuration in ${PREFIX}/etc/pgbouncer.ini to use log and pid file paths owned by the newly created pgbouncer user (or customize for a different user yourself). Default logfile: /var/log/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.log Default pidfile: /var/run/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.pid 20080808 AFFECTS: users of chinese/phpbb-tw AUTHOR: chinsan@FreeBSD.org The default install directory for phpbb-tw has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/phpBB2 to ${PREFIX}/www/phpBB2. If you are updating from a previous version, to preserve your settings and data, please do the following: mv /usr/local/www/data/phpBB2 /usr/local/www Then update as usual. 20080806: AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/transmission AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org Update to 1.3x, the net-p2p/transmission now is a meta-port. It depends on cli, daemon, and gtk2. If you don't want that, uninstall transmission and install net-p2p/transmission-cli by doing: portmaster -o net-p2p/transmission-cli net-p2p/transmission or, if you're using portupgrade: portupgrade -o net-p2p/transmission-cli net-p2p/transmission 20080805: AFFECTS: users of devel/qt4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The qt4 ports has been updated to 4.4.1. With this update several ports specific problems have been fixed. Qt4 headers and libraries have been moved to include/qt4 and lib/qt4. bsd.qt.mk defines QT_INCDIR and QT_LIBDIR now, which could be used in qt4-dependent ports if required. Before you start to update your ports, please force update of qmake4 and qt4-corelib ports. Portmaster users can do: portmaster devel/qmake4 devel/qt4-moc devel/qt4-corelib or, if you're using portupgrade: portupgrade -f devel/qmake4 devel/qt4-moc devel/qt4-corelib 20080804: AFFECTS: users of devel/git AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org Git's cvsps dependency has been switched from cvsps-devel to cvsps. The two are incompatible, so you will need to do the following before upgrading git: portmaster -o devel/cvsps devel/cvsps-devel 20080728: AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius2 AUTHOR: David Wood Upgrading the FreeRADIUS port used to replace all unmodified files in your configuration with the latest version from the sample configuration. This strategy has two disadvantages; over time your configuration became based on different versions of the sample configuration, also major changes to the sample configuration could leave your configuration in a confusing state. From version 2.0.5, your configuration is not touched if any configuration files have been modified. You are recommended to track changes in the sample configuration and keep your configuration in a version control system. I use Subversion (see the devel/subversion port) to track my changes. Keeping the sample configuration in a 'vendor branch' (see the Subversion book for more details) allows easy merging of changes from the sample configuration. *** IMPORTANT *** You are urged to move your configuration out of the default location (/usr/local/etc/raddb) before upgrading from 2.0.4 (or earlier) to 2.0.5 (or later). Once this upgrade is complete, remove the sample configuration that has been installed in the default location and move your configuration back to the default location. This is a one time procedure that will prevent unmodified files in your configuration from being deleted from your configuration and not restored during the upgrade. No customised files will be lost in any circumstances. The sample configuration in 2.0.5 has been reorganised: the configuration of most modules is now in the modules directory rather than in radiusd.conf. You are urged to rearrange your configuration to match this layout. There are several improvements in this version of the port, including a new pkg-message that will help new FreeRADIUS users to get started with the port, also new 'reload' and 'debug' commands for the rc.d script. Enjoy! 20080727: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox3 AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org Update to 3.0.1_1,1; it no longer seeks for plugins in lib/browser_plugins, because few plugins that built with Firefox 2 can cause Firefox 3 to crash. We are working on making some changes with plugins directory by using www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi. If there are some other plugins that work with Firefox 3 and you would like to use, you can copy them to ~/.mozilla/plugins or /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins manually for now. 20080725: AFFECTS: users of x11-fm/nautilus and misc/shared-mime-info AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org In order to properly update x11-fm/nautilus and misc/shared-mime-info, do the following using portupgrade: # pkg_deinstall -fO nautilus # portupgrade shared-mime-info # portinstall -O nautilus Once misc/shared-mime-info has been updated, each user will need to run the following command: $ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/ 20080725: AFFECTS: users of www/ojs2 AUTHOR: Greg Larkin If you are upgrading from a prior version of ojs2, please backup your database, uploaded files directory, and your config.inc.php before the upgrade. Read /usr/local/share/docs/ojs2/UPGRADE or visit http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/UPGRADE for additional upgrade information. 20080721: AFFECTS: users of net/freenet6 AUTHOR: Edwin Groothuis Please note that there has been a major update of this port (from version 2.x to 5.x) and that the name of the binaries and configuration files has changed from "tpsc" to "gw6c". The configuration files have to be copied from ${PREFIX}/share/examples/freenet6 to ${PREFIX}/etc again. 20080719: AFFECTS: users of x11-fm/gprename AUTHOR: Martin Tournoij GPRename configuration files now live ~/.config/gprename instead of ~/, to upgrade use the following commands: % mkdir -p ~/.config/gprename % mv ~/.gprename ~/.config/gprename/gprename % mv ~/.gprename_log ~/.config/gprename/gprename_log 20080717: AFFECTS: users of devel/anjuta AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org Anjuta's neon dependency has been switched from neon26 to neon28. The two are incompatible, so you will need to do the following to upgrade: portupgrade -o www/neon28 neon26 portupgrade anjuta 20080714: AFFECTS: users of www/squid AUTHOR: Thomas-Martin Seck www/squid has been updated to Squid 2.7.STABLE3. This update should be rather straightforward. The only noticeable change in the port is that the ICAP patch is no longer included; this is because this patch was unmaintained for a long time and its use was not really recommended. Please consider moving to Squid-3 (currently available as www/squid30) if you need ICAP support. Squid 2.6 is still available as www/squid26 and will probably be removed from the ports tree at the end of 2008. 20080712: AFFECTS: users of databases/rrdtool AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org If you use language bindings, like the Perl's RRDs, please upgrade this port *twice* in order to get the library dependency right. 20080711: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox2 AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul The port has been deprecated and gtkdatabox has been updated. This was done so the port tracks vendor name. Please update by doing: portupgrade -o x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox2 20080709: AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki AUTHOR: Henrik Brix Andersen The IkiWiki editpage form now uses the raw page name, not the page title, in its 'page' cgi parameter. You will need to rebuild any existing ikiwiki installations in order to update their 'edit' links to the new format. 20080708: AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu-devel AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org The port has been updated to a 20080620 SVN snapshot, which uses the new (incompatible) kqemu-kmod-devel port that now also works for the 32 bit "qemu" executable on amd64. If you upgrade qemu-devel with the KQEMU knob on, you have to # pkg_delete kqemu-kmod-1\* the old kqemu version first if it is installed. 20080705: AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki AUTHOR: Henrik Brix Andersen The IkiWiki search plug-in now uses www/xapian-omega as backend instead of textproc/hyperestraier. You will need to update the configuration of any search enabled ikiwiki installations and rebuild them since the search form has changed. 20080704: AFFECTS: users of misc/shared-mime-info AUTHOR: FreeBSD GNOME Team The misc/shared-mime-info has been updated to 0.40. The Mime Types caches have been changed a bit. If you have created any custom MIME types, you will need to run update-mime-database to update your local Mime Types caches: $ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/ 20080702: AFFECTS: users of irc/ratbox-services AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul Configuration file and database changes have been made between the 1.1.x series and the current release version of ratbox-services. It is highly recommended that services are stopped, and the proper upgrade procedure is followed as described in port's documentation, before restarting newly updated ratbox-services again. Please remember to backup the database before attempting an upgrade, as incorrectly upgraded database may be rendered unusable. The ratbox-services-1.2.x branch implements multi-language support. However, an inconsistency in the language indexing may result in errors. It is therefore recommended that the English default to be used until the next version release. 20080702: AFFECTS: users of mail/nocc AUTHOR: Alex Dupre The Nocc configuration file has been moved into 'config' subdir. When updating, remove the old conf.php file and reconfigure Nocc. 20080701: AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion* AUTHOR: Lev Serebryakov subversion now uses neon-0.28.x (www/neon28) port, and automatic portupgrade will fail because www/neon28 will conflict with installed www/neon26 port. You should upgrade neon library before subversion with the command: # portupgrade -o www/neon28 neon26 Also, if you use any special subversion ports with bindings, you should upgrade these ports to clean subversion port with # portupgrade -o devel/subversion subversion-\* and install needed bindings (p5-subversion, py-subversion and/or ruby-subversion) after that. If you use subversion with bindings installed from devel/subversion with custom options, don't forget to install separate bindings ports after subversion upgrade. 20080630: AFFECTS: users of graphics/cairo, graphics/poppler*, and future users of www/firefox3 AUTHOR: FreeBSD GNOME Team The poppler* ports have been updated to 0.8.3 and the shared libraries have changed. Firefox 3.0 has been added to the tree as www/firefox3. These changes require that all dependent ports be updated. You can do this in one of two ways: # portmaster pixman\* # portmaster \*cairo\* # portmaster -r poppler-0.\* or: # pkgdb -Ff # portupgrade pixman\* \*cairo\* # portupgrade -r poppler-0.\* 20080627: AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati AUTHOR: Jung-uk Kim mach64 and r128 drivers are now separated out from the ati driver. These video cards are supported by x11-drivers/xf86-video-mach64 and x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128 respectively. If you have one of the affected video cards and xorg.conf contains the following line: Driver "ati" you must specify "mach64" or "r128". Alternatively, you may install x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati to get a wrapper driver. 20080626: AFFECTS: users of science/gramps AUTHOR: Anders Troback Before you upgrade from 2.x to 3.x you need to export your existing databases to a GRAMPS XML file. After the upgrade you can import them into the new version. 20080624: AFFECTS: users of irc/ircd-ratbox-devel AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul Upgrading between different beta releases can cause problems when changes to the ban database schema have occurred. The 'bantool' utility now comes with a -u switch that will check and update the ban database as necessary. Issuing 'bantool -u' is required when upgrading between beta releases and must not be done while the ircd is running. 20080624: AFFECTS: users of www/mod_security AUTHOR: Marcelo Araujo The mod_security port has been updated from 1.9.4 to 2.5.5. Branch 1.9.x will not receive any further updates; all users must update mod_security port to versions 2.1 or 2.5. You can get more information about update issues at: http://www.modsecurity.org/documentation/ 20080624: AFFECTS: users of www/opera and www/opera/devel AUTHOR: Ion-Mihai Tetcu The Opera port has been updated from 9.2x to 9.5x. A lot of things have been changed such as keyboard shortcuts[1]; new storage and indexing formats for mail and feeds; new search.ini; native amd64 binaries; no 4.x support. You will be asked whether to convert mail and feeds to new format during start up. Warning: there is no way to downgrade back to the old format. Be sure to see the Changelog[2]. [1] http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/884/ [2] http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/freebsd/950/ 20080622: AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion, subversion-devel and subversion-freebsd with apr from www/apache22 AUTHOR: Clement Laforet apr and apr-util bundled with apache 2.2.9 have been upgraded to 1.3.x, so shared libraries' versions have been bumped. If you are using subversion with apache22 apr, you must rebuild subversion after the update. 20080617: AFFECTS: users of editors/nvi-devel AUTHOR: Wesley Shields editors/nvi-devel has been changed to install nvi, nex, and nview as to not conflict with editors/2bsd-vi. Please note the new names if you use this port. 20080616: AFFECTS: users of mail/dkim-milter AUTHOR: Hirohisa Yamaguchi Most of the command line options can now be set in configure files. So the default values (such as milterdkim_socket) are changed to blank. Upgrading users should check the values both in rc.conf and dkim-filter.conf. 20080612: AFFECTS: users of www/linux-opera AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The Opera port has been updated from 9.2x to 9.5x. A lot of things have been changed such as keyboard shortcuts[1]; new storage and indexing formats for mail and feeds; new search.ini; probably more that I have missed. I do not know if the keyboard shortcuts and search.ini will be overwritten. You will be asked whether you want mail and feeds to be converted to new format during start up. Warning: there is no way to downgrade back to the old format. Be sure to see the Changelog[2]. [1] http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/884/ [2] http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/linux/950/ It is probably best for you to back up your linux-opera directory in case until you have no problem with new Opera for a while. Also, you might have to re-configure search and keyboard shortcuts if these were overwritten: # cp -Rp ~/.linux-opera ~/.linux-opera-bak If you are seeing an error of undefined symbols related to GTK+, it is because it needs newer linux-gtk2 that ports doesn't have. You can enter 'opera:config#FileSelector|DialogToolkit' in the address bar and change from 0 to 1 in 'Dialog Toolkit' if it annoys you. 0 = auto detection, 1 = QT, and 2 = GTK+. 20080610: AFFECTS: users of mail/svnmailer AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org Some of the config directives and sections allowed have changed. You will have to edit your config file when updating to 1.1.0-dev-r1373 version of the port. Please see the following URL for more information: http://opensource.perlig.de/en/svnmailer/doc-1.1/#general-config-charset 20080609: AFFECTS: users of devel/pear-Date_Holidays AUTHOR: tabthorpe@FreeBSD.org pear-Date_Holidays has been split into multiple subports. If you want a specific geographic region, look at devel/pear-Date_Holidays_* 20080605: AFFECTS: users of audio/paman and audio/pavucontrol AUTHOR: lippe@FreeBSD.org paman was renamed to pavucontrol, which are two different projects. paman is a GTK frontend to PulseAudio, while pavucontrol is a GTK-based volume control tool to PulseAudio. 20080605: AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU) AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.17, the shared library version of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all ports that depend on gettext: # portupgrade -rf gettext # portmaster -r gettext\* Given the scope and sheer number of dependent ports, it may be more advisable to simply blow away all existing install ports (after keeping any local configuration changes), and rebuilding from scratch. 20080603: AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs AUTHOR: Yasuhiro KIMURA The port (editors/emacs) is updated to 22.2 and some of emacs lisp directories had changed. So you should reinstall all ports depending on this one. Run something like: # portupgrade -fr emacs 20080601: AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org If password based logins is enabled in ikiwiki, those passwords were stored in cleartext in the userdb. To guard against exposing users' passwords, ikiwiki 2.48 and later use strong (blowfish) hashes for storing passwords. To hash existing passwords, update to ikiwiki-2.48 and run the following command for each of your ikiwiki src dirs: ikiwiki-transition hashpassword /path/to/your/wiki/srcdir 20080524: AFFECTS: users of net-im/jabberd AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org Starting with version 2.2.0, resolver is now built in the S2S component. Jabberd configuration files require updating: jabberd.cfg: resolver component must be removed s2s.xml: section must be added (see s2s.xml.dist) resolver.xml: may be deleted (file not required anymore) 20080519: AFFECTS: users of www/nginx and www/nginx-devel AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org Nginx version lines have been changed: 0.5 -> 0.6 for stable and 0.6 -> 0.7 for development version. Make sure your configuration files are compatible with the new version(s). 20080519: AFFECTS: users of irc/bitlbee AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org The default installation is now configured for running bitlbee as user 'bitlbee'. Make sure any existing configuration files are readable by that user. 20080517: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/smplayer-* AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The slave port multimedia/smplayer-qt4 has been removed with the upgrade of multimedia/smplayer to 0.6.0, qt3 is no longer supported. They are now fully integrated into multimedia/smplayer. Please uninstall multimedia/smplayer-qt4 port before upgrading multimedia/smplayer to version 0.6.0 or higher. 20080513: AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-new AUTHOR: scheidell@secnap.net Amavisd-new 2.6.0 introduces several incompatibilities with prior versions. If you are upgrading from 2.5.4 or earlier, you will need to update your SQL schema. If you have third party programs that access SQL tables, you will need to update those also. COMPATIBILITY WITH 2.5.4: - when using SQL for logging (e.g. for a pen pals feature) or for quarantining, SQL tables tables maddr, msgs, msgrcpt and quarantine need to be extended by a new field 'partition_tag'; see below for details; - when SQL logging (pen pals) or SQL lookups are used, one can choose a binary or a character data type for fields users.email, mailaddr.email, and maddr.email; now may be a good opportunity to change a data type to binary (string of bytes); see below for details; - when using SQL for logging, a default for $sql_clause{'upd_msg'} has changed, so if a configuration file replaces this SQL clause by a non-default setting, it needs to be updated; Full information in /usr/local/share/doc/amavisd-new/RELEASE_NOTES. 20080513: AFFECTS: users of audio/ampache AUTHOR: jadawin@FreeBSD.org Ampache 3.4 uses a different config parser. Unfortunately the new parser is unable to read old config files. You must run php ${WWWDIR}/bin/migrate_config.inc from the command line. 20080508: AFFECTS: users of databases/ptop AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org The authors have changed the name of this utility to pg_top. To avoid conflict with another port in the tree with the same name we have retained 'ptop' as the portname. Also note, the binary has also changed to pg_top. Please start the utility with that name after updating. 20080507: AFFECTS: perl interface users of audio/gramofile AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org Perl support is removed due to devel/swig11 removal in ports. If you use the Perl interface, you are encouraged to use the new Audio::Gramofile found on CPAN (contact me for the ports). 20080506: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/collectd AUTHOR: daniel@roe.ch Previously, net-mgmt/collectd used to remove the config file even if it was changed by the user. This has now been fixed. To upgrade without losing your configuration, copy ${PREFIX}/etc/collectd.conf away to a safe place before upgrading net-mgmt/collectd. In addition, the default location of the data files changed from ${PREFIX}/var/lib/collectd to /var/db/collectd; you may want to move your data files and edit your configuration accordingly. 20080503: AFFECTS: users of net/skype-devel AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org Skype-devel port has been removed in favor and by upading of net/skype. If you are running skype-devel, please do the following: portupgrade -o net/skype net/skype-devel 20080426: AFFECTS: users of www/phpgedview AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org The install location of phpgedview has changed from www/data/phpGedView to www/phpgedview. If you are updating from a previous version please do the following: mv /usr/local/www/data/phpGedView /usr/local/www You will also need to adjust the paths in your web server to reflect the new location. 20080416: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org Clamav 0.93 does not support the daily.inc and main.inc directories format for virus databases. You need to remove these directories manually and force freshclam to get new cvd format files before starting clamd: portupgrade clamav /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd stop /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-freshclam stop rm -rf /var/db/clamav/main.inc /var/db/clamav/daily.inc freshclam /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-freshclam start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd start 20080408: AFFECTS: users of www/p5-Apache-Test AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org www/p5-Apache-Test doesn't actually need www/mod_perl{1,2}. If you would like to test a mod_perl, than please install www/mod_perl2 or www/mod_perl as well. The ports infrastructure doesn't support this (yet) but you can use it to test www/apache13, www/apache20, and/or www/apache22 without chaining www/p5-Apache-Test. 20080405: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/tracker AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org The sysutils/tracker port is now a meta port and tracker is now split into separate ports to allow non-GNOME users to install tracker without pulling in GNOME components. To upgrade please use the directions below. Portmaster users: portmaster -o sysutils/tracker-client tracker portmaster -u sysutils/tracker Portupgrade users: portupgrade -o sysutils/tracker-client tracker portupgrade -u sysutils/tracker 20080405: AFFECTS: users and maintainers of ports that depend on databases/sqlite3 AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org Port databases/sqlite3 was updated to 3.5.6 and now has threads enabled by default. If you encounter any problem with it, you can recompile sqlite3 without threads and test or change Makefile of affected port with this: sed -i.bak -E -e "s|USE_SQLITE=.*|USE_SQLITE=34|g" \ -e "s|databases/sqlite3|databases/sqlite34|g" Makefile Please report success or failure to port maintainer and to me. 20080403: AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu and emulators/qemu-devel AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org The default configuration location (qemu-ifup script etc.) has been changed from /etc to ${PREFIX}/etc (usually /usr/local/etc). Move your files accordingly. 20080330: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org www/mediawiki version is 1.12 now. 1.11 version was preserved on www/mediawiki111 port. 20080329: AFFECTS: users of www/phpadsnew AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org Phpadsnew has been replaced with www/openx. To upgrade please do the following: 1. Install www/openx 2. Copy the configuration file from phpadsnew to the var directory of www/openx 3. Copy your banner images from phpadsnew/www/images to openx/www/images 4. Access openx on your browser and follow the instructions for upgrading 5. When you are satisfied with everything working properly you can remove www/phpadsnew 20080326: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f8 AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org The new port is used just like emulators/linux_base-fc6. Please, read carefully entry 20070327 about emulators/linux_base-fc6. 20080323: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/gstreamer AUTHOR: multimedia@FreeBSD.org Gstreamer port was updated. Due to the move of some plugins between ports, you will have to rebuild the gstreamer-plugins-good port after upgrading. Portupgrade users: # portupgrade -a # portupgrade -f gstreamer-plugins-good Portmaster users: # portmaster -a # portmaster gstreamer-plugins-good 20080323: AFFECTS: all GNOME users and ports depend on gnomehier AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.22.0. You have to deinstall a few ports first before using portupgrade or portmaster in order to successfully upgrade your GNOME installation. Portupgrade users: # pkgdb -Ff # pkg_deinstall -fO gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\* # portupgrade -aOW Portmaster users: # pkg_delete -f gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\* \ gnome-keyring-manager\* # portmaster -a Be sure to read in our known issues and solutions: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq222.html#q4 20080323: AFFECTS: users of devel/glib20 and future users of devel/gio-fam-backend AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org In order to update to glib 2.16 or higher, you must first update the glib20 port on its own or you will get a failure trying to install devel/gio-fam-backend saying it cannot find -lgio-2.0. Portmaster users can do: portmaster glib-2\* or, if you're using portupgrade: portupgrade glib-2\* 20080318: AFFECTS: users of audio/gnump3d AUTHOR: jadawin@FreeBSD.org The layout of gnump3d 3.0 is changed, please read documentation and the manual pages of gnump3d. 20080318: AFFECTS: users of net/skype net/skype-devel AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org For FreeBSD versions 7.0 and above: It is required with both skype and skype-devel to update to linux_base-fc6. Please do the following: 1. Make sure there are no running linux applications. 2. Unmount linprocfs (umount /compat/linux/proc) 3. Uninstall your current linux_base port 4. Set appropriate sysctl (sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16) 5. Install emulators/linux_base-fc6 6 Remount linprocfs (mount /compat/linux/proc) 7. Add compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 to etc/sysctl.conf 8. Add OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc6 to /etc/make.conf Note: These instructions also apply to linux_base-f8, please use the same osrelease. For FreeBSD versions 5.x and 6.x: Please use the legacy version net/skype12: portupgrade -o net/skype12 net/skype 20080316: AFFECTS: users of net/iscsi-target AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org The default configuration location has been changed from /etc to ${PREFIX}/etc. Move your files accordingly. 20080314: AFFECTS: users of security/nmapfe AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org nmapfe has been renamed to zenmap upstream. The port has also been renamed. If you haven't already installed nmapfe, you need to: portupgrade -o security/zenmap nmapfe\* 20080313: AFFECTS: users of mail/ezmlm-web AUTHOR: hans@nordhaug.priv.no The layout of ezmlm-web 3.2 is changed, please read documentation and the manual page of ezmlm-web.cgi. 20080312: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment-devel, x11/ecore and grephics/evas AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org Evas and ecore ports have been split to separate modules to simplify dependency tracking. Thus, portupgrade in many cases won't be able to correctly update these ports. The easiest upgrade path would be to remove all EFL ports and install them from scratch. At least, you should reinstall ecore and evas. Please note that your old $HOME/.e is no longer compatible with new snapshot version. You will need to remove this directory and let e17 create it automatically on the next startup. 20080306: AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org The update to version 1.0.12 will require manual change to the active configuration file. mail_extra_groups setting was commonly used insecurely. This setting is now deprecated. Most users should switch to using mail_privileged_group setting, but if you really need the old functionality use mail_access_groups instead. 20080303: AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org gnutls has been updated to 2.2.2 and all shared libraries' versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on gnutls. Do something like: portupgrade -rf gnutls 20080223: AFFECTS: users of www/instiki AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org The default installation directory for instiki has changed from /usr/local/instiki to /usr/local/share/instiki. If you are updating from a previous version, to preserve your settings and data, please do the following: mv /usr/local/instiki /usr/local/share Then update as usual. 20080219: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xmonad AUTHOR: jacula@gmail.com From now XMonad uses a new configuration file system, so you don't have to edit Config.hs anymore. Instead, create a custom configuration file ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs. You can take a look at some samples on Xmonad's website. Note that you can be interested in x11-wm/xmonad-contrib. 20080218: AFFECTS: users of devel/poco and devel/poco-ssl AUTHOR: lippemail@gmail.com The HashFunction class template has been changed in an incompatible way. The member function formerly named hash() is now the function call operator. If you have defined your own HashFunction classes, then you have to update your code. 20080216: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/symon AUTHOR: uspoerlein@gmail.com The symon port has been updated from 2.75 to 2.78. It changes the wire protocol again. You should update your symux(8) and symon(8) installations simultaneously, as: - new symon clients will make old symux servers exit, and - new symux servers don't understand the old symon client's if() and mem() probes. 20080208: AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portupgrade AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org As was claimed in the entry 20070301 below in this file, you should fill ALT_DEPENDS section of pkgtools.conf for portupgrade to work correctly with your alternative dependencies. Now it's an obligatory requirement. It was done as a compromise between speed and complexity. 20080203: AFFECTS: users of www/xshttpd AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org www/xshttpd now uses ${PREFIX}/www/xshttpd/ as a root directory for its data files. The xshttpd configuration files have been moved to ${PREFIX}/www/xshttpd/conf/. Please move the appropriate local files manually if you are upgrading from 3.4 or older versions. 20080202: AFFECTS: users of www/punbb AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org Install paths have changed. Please do the following prior to upgrade: cd /usr/local/www mv punbb punbb.old cp -R punbb.old/upload punbb It is now safe to update as usual. Notes: * You will probably get uninstall errors regarding files not found. It's safe to ignore them * Your webserver path has changed from www/punbb/upload to www/punbb, please adjust your webserver configuration and restart it * When you are satisfied with everything working properly you may remove the punbb.old directory: rm -r /usr/local/www/punbb.old 20080201: AFFECTS: users of www/ziproxy AUTHOR: pankov_p@mail.ru The configuration file was moved from /usr/local/etc to /usr/local/etc/ziproxy. 20080126: AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/deluge AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org Deluge was updated to version 0.5.8.2. If you are using blocklist plugin, you have to remove blocklist.conf first before you can run it, or it will crash upon start up. $ rm -f ~/.config/deluge/blocklist.conf 20080125: AFFECTS: users of www/mod_security2 AUTHOR: araujo@FreeBSD.org Update of mod_security2 is a dramatic change, because there is a need to completely rewrite their obsolete rules and migrate for capacity to use new syntax. You are advised to make a complete backup of your configuration files before you can perform an update. 20080120: AFFECTS: users of www/apache20 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org BDB framework provided by bsd.database.mk is now used by www/apache20 port. WITH_BERKELEYDB knob is deprecated in favor of WITH_BDB and WITH_BDB_VER/WITH_BDB_BASE, see documentation for more details ('make show-options'). 20080120: AFFECTS: users of www/apache22 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org BDB framework provided by bsd.database.mk is now used by www/apache22 port. WITH_BERKELEYDB knob is deprecated in favor of WITH_BDB and WITH_BDB_VER/WITH_BDB_BASE, see documentation for more details. ('make show-options'). 20080118: AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius AUTHOR: David Wood FreeRADIUS 2.0 is now available as the net/freeradius2 port. All FreeRADIUS users are advised to consider upgrading to 2.0. It is the FreeRADIUS team's intention to put the 1.x server into 'maintenance' mode with just critical bug fixes.[1] 2.0 has many improvements including numerous bug fixes that were too difficult for the 1.x server, as well as many new features. Before uninstalling 1.x, it is recommended that you backup your configuration, which is typically in /usr/local/etc/raddb, then move it out of the way. It is also worth backing up the default configuration, which is typically in /usr/local/share/examples/freeradius/raddb. 1.x configurations should work with the 2.0 server [2]. However the port automatically upgrades any unedited files in the configuration when you install a new version of FreeRADIUS. Installing 2.0 with the residue of a 1.x configuration in the default location will result in a mixed 1.x and 2.0 configuration that may not work. The recommended approach is to diff your 1.x configuration against the default 1.x configuration, then make corresponding changes to a copy of the default 2.0 configuration. If you moved your 1.x configuration out of the way before upgrading, you will have a 2.0 configuration ready to edit in the default location. It is worth reading man 5 unlang for details of the new FreeRADIUS 'un-language' before starting. Alternatively, you can move your 1.x configuration to another location, such as /usr/local/etc/raddb_v1, then edit /etc/rc.conf to point the rc.d script to that location. For example: radiusd_flags="-d /usr/local/etc/raddb_v1" I cannot guarantee that all 1.x configurations will work with the 2.0 server, and I only recommend using a 1.x configuration as an interim measure. [1] - http://www.freeradius.org/business/roadmap.html [2] - http://preview.tinyurl.com/ysrr6a 20080114: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Perforce has been updated to version 2007.3. Upgrading is fairly straightforward, but it is still highly recommended to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.073/user/relnotes.txt 20080108: AFFECTS: users of irc/bitlbee AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org irc/bitlbee now stores saved user settings in /var/db/bitlbee/, not $PREFIX/etc/bitlbee/. You will have to manually move any existing user settings to the new location (or override the user settings directory using -d if you wish to keep the old behavior). Other configuration files are still kept in $PREFIX/etc/bitlbee/ by default. The default installation is now configured for running bitlbee as user 'nobody' by default. Make sure any existing configuration files are readable by that user. 20071225: AFFECTS: users of www/amphetadesk AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org www/amphetadesk has been updated to use the USE_RC_SUBR framework for rc.d scripts. The rc.d script has been renamed from amphetadesk.sh to amphetadesk for consistency with other ports. 20071216: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/cacti AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org From version 0.8.7a database settings has moved to config.php file. You have to copy your settings from db-settings.php to config.php and remove db-settings.php file after updating. Plugin support is dropped again and will not be revived anymore in the port. A reason for that is the patch is unofficial and there are long time lags between a new cacti version released and time when the patch is adapted. 20071215: AFFECTS: users of www/suphp AUTHOR: koitsu@FreeBSD.org The suPHP port has been upgraded to 0.6.2. This update requires modifications to your Apache httpd.conf, as the new version of suPHP does things differently than the previous version -- particularly in regards to how AddHandler is used. Previously, enabling suPHP was as simple as: suPHP_Engine on AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddHandler x-httpd-php .php With suPHP 0.6.2, these should be changed to: suPHP_Engine on AddType application/x-httpd-php .php suPHP_AddHandler application/x-httpd-php If you forget this change, your PHP content will likely be offered as downloadable content and not parsed by the PHP interpreter! Additionally, the new version uses a configuration file vs. compile-time settings. The configuration file is /usr/local/etc/suphp.conf, and a working example installed as /usr/local/etc/suphp.conf-example. It's important that the MIME type under the [handlers] section matches what the type passed to suPHP_AddHandler in your Apache configuration. 20071101: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org There appears to be a conflict with xorg-server 1.4 and previous version of nvidia-driver: new xorg-server had plist change that made upgrading of nvidia-driver bomb out with the following error: ===> Checking if x11/nvidia-driver already installed mv: rename /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/XXX-libwfb.so.%%.xorg-server-1.4_2,1: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 To remedy the situation, deinstall any instance of nvidia-driver you might have, then reinstall xorg-server, e.g.: # cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server # make install -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER After that, new nvidia-driver will install cleanly. 20071101: AFFECTS: users of net/skype-devel AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org The skype-devel port has been upgraded to version 1.4.0.118. This requires a sysctl change to run. After upgrading, please do: sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.20 from a terminal. You can also add "compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.20" to your /etc/sysctl.conf to make this change permanent (at boot time). 20071030: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/daemontools AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org If you were experiencing build problems on NFS when running daemontools's run-time testsuite, turn off the new TESTS option in the configure screen. On a related note, svscan can now send its error messages to multilog instead of readproctitle; see the etc/rc.d/svscan.sh startup script for more information on the svscan_* configurable variables. 20071029: AFFECTS: users of security/stunnel AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org In the 4.21 update there are two major user-visible changes: - the stunnel binary is in ${PREFIX}/bin/, no longer in ${PREFIX}/sbin/; - the libstunnel library is in ${PREFIX}/lib/stunnel/ instead of lib/. You may need to adjust your PATH settings or your scripts to accommodate to the new location of the stunnel executable (and library, if there is actually anything using it). 20071024: AFFECTS: all GNOME users and ports depend on misc/gnomehier AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.20.1. All ports that depend on gnomehier have had their DATADIR moved from share/gnome/ to share/ (e.g. ${LOCALBASE}/share/gnome/ to ${LOCALBASE}/share/). This puts the FreeBSD GNOME ports more in line with the default GNOME installation hierarchy. To find the specific directories that have changed, see misc/gnomehier/files/dirlist. To upgrade your installed ports, you will need to use either sysutils/portupgrade or sysutils/portmaster. Portupgrade users: # pkgdb -Ff # portupgrade -f -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper # portupgrade -a Portmaster users: # portmaster -o textproc/rarian textproc/scrollkeeper # portmaster -a If some of icons, applets, themes or other customized items have disappeared from your desktop in this upgrade, you will need to remove and re-add these items to make them appear again due to the DATADIR change. 20071024: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-connector-java AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org databases/mysql-connector-java version is 5.1.5 now. 5.0.8 version was preserved as databases/mysql-connector-java50 port. 20071009: AFFECTS: users of mail/vpopmail AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org The vpopmail port has been upgraded to version 5.4.20. There are several important changes that may affect your vpopmail installation and may need you to handle manually: - THE MYSQL CONNECTION INFORMATION IS NO LONGER DEFINED AT COMPILE-TIME! The WITH_MYSQL_{USER,PASSWD,SERVER,DB} variables should NOT be defined when you build the port; place that information in the vpopmail.mysql file after vpopmail has been installed! - the default domain is also no longer defined at compile time -- you need to place it in the defaultdomain file after the installation. - the defaultdomain and vpopmail.mysql files are no longer blindly removed on deinstallation, they are only removed if they have not been modified - in vpopmail 5.4.18, the database schema was changed -- some fields were extended from 64 to 96 characters. If you do not apply those changes to your database, as explained in the vpopmail/doc/UPGRADE file, your vpopmail installation may silently fail or lose the trailing portions of domain names and usernames. - in vpopmail 5.4.19, the upstream authors integrated large parts of Alex Dupre's SpamAssassin support, without the SPAM_THRESHOLD part. If you use vpopmail along with the SpamAssassin FreeBSD port support, take extra care to ensure that your installation still processes e-mail messages in the same way. - vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for maildrop as a mail delivery agent. This is available in the FreeBSD port if WITH_MAILDROP is defined. There is also a new user-limit flag for maildrop delivery. - vpopmail 5.4.19 added support for MySQL connections via Unix sockets instead of TCP sockets to the server. To do that, change the second value (the port number) in vpopmail.mysql to the full pathname of the MySQL socket (e.g. /tmp/mysql.sock). - vpopmail 5.4.20 extended the LDAP support; please see README.ldap for more information, and specify the LDAP connection information in the vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.ldap file after the installation. 20071008: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org www/mediawiki version is 1.11 now. 1.10 version was preserved as www/mediawiki110 port. 20071008: AFFECTS: users of graphics/OpenEXR and graphics/ilmbase AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The new OpenEXR (1.6 and later) separated two libraries. The first is IlmImf library a.k.a. ILM's "EXR" file format operation library for storing 16-bit FP images. The others are Half, IlmThread, Imath and Iex a.k.a. ILM's basic utility libraries. To portupgrade OpenEXR and related ports, please do following operations, manually: # pkg_delete -f OpenEXR # pkg_delete -f ilmbase (if you already installed before CONFLICT) # cd /usr/ports/graphics/OpenEXR # make install # pkgdb -F 20071008: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-fc7 AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org Since Fedora is not more Core the port emulators/linux_base-fc7 is renamed emulators/linux_base-f7. Now it's Fedora 7. 20071007: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut sysutils/nut-* AUTHOR: Martin Matuska The slave ports sysutils/nut-libupsclient, sysutils/nut-snmp and sysutils/nut-usb have been removed with the upgrade of sysutils/nut to 2.2.0 They are now fully integrated into sysutils/nut and their functionality can be enabled/disabled in OPTIONS of sysutils/nut. Please uninstall all sysutils/nut-* slave ports before upgrading sysutils/nut to version 2.2.0 or higher. 20070930: AFFECTS: everyone AUTHOR: Mark Linimon The ports tree has been migrated to the latest version of autoconf, 2.61. Versions 2.53 and 2.59 were declared obsolete and removed. m4 was also updated to 1.4.10, but this proved to be incompatible and was rolled back to 1.4.9. If you are experiencing 'Makefile: not found' errors, make sure you are not using 1.4.10. 20070928: AFFECTS: users of irc/ratbox-services AUTHOR: Lewis Significant changes have been made between the 1.0.x series and the current release version of ratbox-services. It is highly recommended that services be stopped, and the proper upgrade procedure be followed as described in '/usr/local/share/doc/ratbox-services/', before restarting ratbox-services with the new release version. Please remember to backup the database before attempting an upgrade, an incorrectly upgraded database may be rendered unusable. 20070926: AFFECTS: users of devel/p5-gearmand AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org The port p5-gearmand has been split up, so Gearman servers can be embedded into other processes. The Gearman::Server class is located at devel/p5-Gearman-Server, if you have devel/p5-gearmand installed, perform an upgrade devel/p5-Gearman-Server with a command like: # portupgrade -o devel/p5-Gearman-Server devel/p5-gearmand 20070923: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-fc7 AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org The new port is used just like emulators/linux_base-fc6. Please, read carefully entry 20070327 about emulators/linux_base-fc6. 20070921: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/grok AUTHOR: Wesley Shields The new version of grok has changed the meaning of a couple of pre-defined patterns. Please see /usr/local/share/doc/grok/CHANGELIST for more information. Existing grok.conf may be broken by these changes. 20070919: AFFECTS: users of net/samba3 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org This is a cumulative update of net/samba3 from version 3.0.25a to 3.0.26a. Detailed list of all the changes can be found here: http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.26a.html or in the WHATSNEW.txt file in the port's document directory. Short summary is: o Memory leaks in Winbind's IDMap manager. o CVE-2007-4138 -- Incorrect primary group assignment for domain users using the RFC 2307 or sfu winbind nss info plugin. o File sharing with Widows 9x clients. o Winbind running out of file descriptors due to stalled child processes. o MS-DFS inter-operability issues. o Offline caching of files with Windows XP/Vista clients. o Improper cleanup of expired or invalid byte range locks on files. o Crashes is idmap_ldap and idmap_rid. Bug #4715 (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4715) is NOT fixed yet, although it won't core dump smbd process any more. Still, access to the shares other than UFS is not guaranteed. * USE SUCH SHARES AT YOUR OWN RISK * 20070918: AFFECTS: users of www/apache22 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org By popular request, OPTIONS support has been added. When enabled (default), these knobs are ignored: WITH__MODULES WITHOUT__MODULES WITH_CUSTOM_ WITH_MODULES WITHOUT_MODULES WITH_STATIC_MODULES However, you can disable OPTIONS by defining WITHOUT_APACHE_OPTIONS. 20070913: AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg, x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org X.org ports were updated to 7.3. Since we're now using the modular build, the upgrade is pretty much painless. If you're using the x11/xorg meta-port, upgrade should be as easy as: # portupgrade -R xorg Users of nvidia-driver will have to make sure Composite extension is turned off and start Xorg with the following command: $ startx -- -ignoreABI The -ignoreABI option is a Xorg option. If you're using gdm, kdm or xdm, you will have to modify your configuration file so that Xorg starts with this option. An updated nvidia-driver should be released soon. 20070905: AFFECTS: testers of net/openldap24-server AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org openldap24-server was updated to 2.4.5-beta. This is the first beta release of the OpenLDAP 2.4.x series, and contains significant changes compared to its previous release. Berkeley DB 4.2 support was dropped and Berkeley DB 4.6 is now default. As this is still a beta release, it should be treated accordingly and should not be used in critical (e.g. production) environments. 20070904: AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail-scanner AUTHOR: lippe@freebsdbrasil.com.br qmail-scanner was updated to 2.x, and 1.x version was repocopied to mail/qmail-scanner1. There are some differences between these 2 versions: quarantine-attachments.txt has been renamed to quarantine-events.txt, it is used to quarantine more than just attachments, and the format of that file has been changed. Quarantine directory is now separated into THREE subdirs: "spam", "viruses" and "policy". This is so sites can arrange different auto-delete jobs to control the size of these areas if they so wish. Some features that were hard-wired into the main body of Q-S have been moved into quarantine-events.txt where they should have been all along. This makes it possible to change settings without reconfiguring the main body of qmail- scanner-queue.pl. You will need to rewrite any rules you had in place within the old quarantine-attachments.txt into the new format quarantine-events.txt Changed setuid to 6755 -- i.e. it's now setuid and setgid. Forcing all files to be group qscand will allow those who wish to do so to keep their AV daemons running as other accounts. They just need to ensure those daemons are members of the qscand group -- and as such should be able to read the necessary files. E.g. clamd could run as "clamav", but as long as account "clamav" is a member of group "qscand", clamd is able to read the mail enough to scan it. 20070903: AFFECTS: users of net/whois, net/gwhois AUTHOR: nivo+kw+ports.bfa274@is-root.com To avoid a conflicting binary name issue, net/whois has renamed its files to mwhois. Please use mwhois if you want to use Marco d'Itri's whois client from now on. 20070828: AFFECTS: users of www/wordpress-mu AUTHOR: araujo@FreeBSD.org To follow the standards this port has received a small reworking. WORDPRESSMU (that defaulted to PREFIX/www/data/wordpress-mu) is deprecated, use WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/www/wordpress-mu). 20070828: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql51-client AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org Since libmysqlclient version number is increased, all ports depending on it must be recompiled. Run something like: # portmaster -r mysql-client 20070821: AFFECTS: users of net-im/pidgin AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Because sound support was added to finch 2.1.1, the sound files used by pidgin have been moved from the pidgin port to the libpurple port. This makes updating a bit tricky. To properly update to pidgin 2.1.1 and retain sounds, you must first upgrade libpurple and pidgin as you normally would, then force a rebuild of libpurple. For example, using portupgrade: # portupgrade net-im/libpurple net-im/pidgin # portupgrade -f net-im/libpurple 20070804: AFFECTS: users of DESTDIR AUTHOR: gabor@FreeBSD.org DESTDIR is a feature, that allows installation of ports into separate environments, like jails. The previous implementation, introduced in the August 2006, had some problems and was very expensive to maintain. It was completely rolled back, and replaced with a brand new implementation utilizing chroot. When DESTDIR is set, the system will chroot into the specified directory, mount devfs, null mount the ports tree, then proceed with building and installing. Your kernel must support nullfs (is available as loadable kernel module on default installation). The target environment must be a full FreeBSD installation. For advanced use, read comments at the beginning of bsd.destdir.mk. 20070730: AFFECTS: users of lang/python24 and py-* AUTHOR: python@FreeBSD.org The default version of Python has been changed from 2.4.x to 2.5.x. If you have 2.4.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python24 to lang/python25 with a command like: # portupgrade -o lang/python25 lang/python24 If you want to keep 2.4.x installed alongside 2.5.x, set the PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' without quotes in make.conf, then go to lang/python and execute # portupgrade -R python Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.5, by using one of the methods above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new Python version. # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages This Makefile target requires ports-mgmt/portupgrade to be installed. 20070727: AFFECTS: autotools AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org Extensive reworking of the autotools ports has occurred, putting them in the canonical locations, along with a suitable wrapper port to make developing autotools-using code (as opposed to just building ports) considerably easier. Upgrade path is as follows for portupgrade, substitute the appropriate commands if you are using portmaster: 1. portupgrade -f 'autoconf*' 'automake*' 2. cd /usr/ports/devel/autotools; make install 3. portupgrade -a The second step is optional, but is recommended to bring in all versions of autoconf and automake. 20070723: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver and slave ports AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org NVVERSION is no longer user settable variable, it's derived from DISTVERSION from now on. If you used nvidia-driver port with custom NVVERSION, it's time to switch to corresponding legacy driver version port. They were renamed in order to stop hardcoding explicit version numbers in their [directory] names. 20070718: AFFECTS: users of devel/llvm AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org The llvm bytecode and .ll formats have changed as have numerous internal APIs. Existing users should consult the release notes: http://llvm.org/releases/2.0/docs/ReleaseNotes.html 20070716: AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs AUTHOR: nobutaka@FreeBSD.org editors/emacs port is upgraded to 22.1. Since this is a major upgrade, all installed elisp ports should be reinstalled. Please add EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 to /etc/make.conf and upgrade Emacs and related ports with: # portupgrade -fr emacs If you want to keep using Emacs 21.3, please add EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs21 to /etc/make.conf and reinstall Emacs from editors/emacs21 port: # portupgrade -f -o editors/emacs21 emacs 20070713: AFFECTS: users of audio/pulseaudio AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org The realtime group (default GID of 557) has been renamed pulse-rt to keep in sync with the pulseaudio distribution. If you are upgrading from a previous version of pulseaudio, you will need to modify /etc/group and change the name of the group with ID 557 to ``pulse-rt''. 20070706: AFFECTS: users of www/gallery AUTHOR: freebsd-ports@varju.ca The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/gallery to ${PREFIX}/www/gallery. 20070704: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The media kioslave now mounts all filesystems that support charset conversion with charset conversion turned on, set to the locale from the user's environment (LANG). If you are using a customized kernel configuration, make sure all *_iconv kernel modules are available. At the time of writing, these are cd9660_iconv, udf_iconv, msdosfs_iconv and ntfs_iconv. 20070614: AFFECTS: users of www/oscommerce AUTHOR: vlad@vlad.uz.ua osCommerce now installs into /usr/local/www/oscommerce instead of /usr/local/www/data/oscommerce. 20070614: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org www/mediawiki version is 1.10 now. 1.9 version was preserved as www/mediawiki19 port. 20070614: AFFECTS: users of www/xshttpd-devel and web apps porters AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org www/xshttpd-devel now uses ${PREFIX}/www/xshttpd/ as a root directory for its data files. The xshttpd configuration files have been moved to ${PREFIX}/www/xshttpd/conf/. Move the appropriate local files manually if you are upgrading from versions <= 3.5.b07 20070613: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/zabbix AUTHOR: infofarmer@FreeBSD.org The agent part has been moved out into net/zabbix-agent. If you need both the server and the agent, install both ports. 20070612: AFFECTS: users of security/sshguard AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org The port has been split in 3, if you use it with ipfw please: # portupgrade -o security/sshguard-ipfw sshguard\* or if you use it with pf: # portupgrade -o security/sshguard-pf sshguard\* 20070526: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Perforce has been updated to version 2006.2. Even though upgrading should be fairly straightforward, it is still highly recommended to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.062/user/relnotes.txt 20070525: AFFECTS: users of textproc/senna and textproc/p5-Senna AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org Index format (binary) and some of APIs are changed. At least you need to rebuild all indexes, and maybe need to change your code (if you use senna API) to follow up to new API. 20070514: AFFECTS: users of net/samba3, japanese/samba3 AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org ATTENTION! Besides security fixes this version of Samba3 significantly changes a lot of options and behavior of Samba. Please, read WHATSNEW.txt and other port documentation before upgrading production systems. Off-line Logons and AD Site Support =================================== Winbind's capability to support offline logons has been greatly improved with the 3.0.25 release including support for locating domain controllers asynchronously using Active Directory Site information. New IdMap Interface for Winbindd ================================ The 3.0.25 release of Samba includes a rewritten IdMap interface for winbindd which replaces the "idmap backend" parameter. Please refer to the "idmap domains" description in the smb.conf(5) man page for more details. Dynamic DNS Updates =================== The "net ads join" command is now able to register the host's DNS A records with Windows 2000 SP4 and 2003 DNS servers. This feature must be enabled at compile time using the --with-dnsupdate when running the ./configure script. There is also a related "net ads dns" command for refreshing a host's records which could be launched from a dhcp client script when a new IP address is obtained. Support for Additional ACL Modules ================================== Samba's POSIX ACL support has been moved inside of the VFS layer which means it is now possible to support multiple ACL implementations on the same server including NFSv4 and GPFS ACLs. VFS ReadAhead Plugin ==================== Windows Vista introduces pipe-lined read support for improved performance when transferring files. The new vfs_readahead plugin allows Linux file servers to utilize additional Kernel buffers for caching files in order to avoid Disk I/O wait time when serving Vista clients. If you experience poor read performance between Linux servers and Vista clients, please test the vfs_readahead module by adding the following lines to the share definition in smb.conf: [file_share] vfs objects = readahead Note that this plugin will result in additional RAM requirements due to the increased amount of kernel buffer caches used by smbd. Please refer to vfs_readahead(8) for more information. Windows Vista, Office 2007, and Offline Files ============================================= Research surrounding offline files, Windows Vista, and Microsoft Office 2007 has revealed a incompatibility between these applications and the "map acl inherit = no" setting in smb.conf. Users requiring support client side caching (csc) and offline files are encouraged to enable the "map acl inherit" for any affected share definitions in the server's configuration. Future versions of Samba will enable this setting by default. Please refer to the smb.conf(5) man page for more details on "map acl inherit". 20070519: AFFECTS: users of Xorg AUTHOR: kris@FreeBSD.org Welcome, fearless user! You are about to embark upon a mystical journey to the world of xorg 7.2. This upgrade procedure is for users of portupgrade. Users of other upgrade tools should contact the author for the corresponding upgrade method for that tool. It is recommended that you run the xorg 7.2 upgrade inside a script(1) session. This way, if something goes wrong, you will have hopefully saved enough information for the developers to debug the problem. Make sure you choose a filesystem with lots of space for the script output. # script xorg-upgrade You may wish to set BATCH=yes in the environment to avoid interactive dialogue boxes. You may want to consider using portupgrade-devel, which fixes some annoying bugs that cause upgrades to incorrectly be marked as failed when they actually completed successfully. To switch to portupgrade-devel: # portupgrade -f -o ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade # rm -f /usr/ports/INDEX*.db /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db # pkgdb -fu If you have changed your ports environment in /etc/make.conf, /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf or similar you need to rebuild INDEX: # cd /usr/ports && make index If you have not changed your ports environment you can save some time and just fetch the latest INDEX: # cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex It is necessary to set the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable while updating from xorg 6.9 to 7.2. Once the upgrade is complete this is no longer be required. For users of csh-like shells: # setenv XORG_UPGRADE yes For users of sh-like shells: # export XORG_UPGRADE=yes Unfortunately portupgrade (nor portupgrade-devel) cannot yet handle the rigors of the xorg upgrade without a small bit of help: # portupgrade -Rf libXft If your machine does NOT have any gstreamer ports installed, you can then run: # portupgrade -a However, if you DO have gstreamer ports installed, you must run: # portupgrade -a -x 'gstreamer*' Followed by: # portupgrade -Rr 'gstreamer*' When packages are available (wait for the announcement on ports@), you may prefer to use precompiled packages to speed up the process: # portupgrade -aP Once the upgrade completes successfully, you can delete the xorg-manpages package, which is now orphaned. # pkg_delete xorg-manpages\* The final step is to merge remaining files from /usr/X11R6 into /usr/local (/usr/X11R6 is no longer used with xorg 7.2) and replace /usr/X11R6 with a symlink. A script is provided for your convenience (or you may choose to do this by hand): it will first attempt to back up your /usr/X11R6 into /usr/tmp/mergebase in case something goes wrong, then look for conflicts (files in /usr/X11R6 that would overwrite files in /usr/local). Depending on your system configuration you may have to resolve some of these conflicts by hand first (if in doubt, ask for help on freebsd-x11@FreeBSD.org). You may also need to edit the script if the default locations are not correct on your system. If your /usr/X11R6 is a file system, you will also need to modify the script to pause after /usr/X11R6 is backed up, but before the symlink is created. # sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh When the merge operation completes successfully, the /usr/X11R6 directory hierarchy will be removed and replaced by a symlink to /usr/local. This symlink is necessary because some binary ports (and some remaining source ports) have hard-coded references to /usr/X11R6. Congratulations, you are done! # exit CAVEATS Make sure you have the x11/xorg meta-port installed. If you do not have this meta-port installed with X.Org 6.9, you will miss out on a lot of the new X.Org 7.2 sub-ports. If you plan on keeping your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf, make sure you change ModulePath to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules prior to running X. If you run into problems running the new X server, try moving aside your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and allow X to run with default values. After that you can see the default values in a log file (e.g. /var/log/Xorg.0.log) and fix your xorg.conf according to the defaults. IF YOU RUN INTO PROBLEMS: # uname -a # ls -l /var/db/pkg # exit and send an email to freebsd-x11@FreeBSD.org with a full description of the problem. Do not include the above typescript in your email, but bzip2 it and make it available to the developers (e.g. put it online or send it by private email upon request). 20070428: AFFECTS: users of print/ghostscript-gnu-{commfont,jpnfont,korfont} AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org These ports now use PostScript virtual fonts to handle CJK CID/TT-CID emulated fonts. CIDFnmap still works but note that if a font is both in Resource/Font or Resource/CIDFont and in CIDFnmap, the entry in Resource/* will be used. For the actual font mapping, see files in Resource/CIDFont/*. This is just an internal structural change; default font mapping has not been changed. If you use CIDFnmap to change a font mapping already defined by Resource/CIDFont/foo, you have to remove (or rename) the Resource/CIDFont/foo file first. 20070423: AFFECTS: users of www/p5-Kwiki AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org The current version of Kwiki contains all plugins. To upgrade from old version (prior to 0.39), please do: # cd # rm index.cgi # rm -rf ./lib # Remove ./lib, if you have one # kwiki -update And you are safe to uninstall www/p5-Kwiki-*, which also means you do not have to install www/p5-Kwiki-*. 20070408: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex{,-base,-tetex} AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The japanese/ptex has been removed and japanese/ptex-tetex has been renamed with japanese/ptex. A pair of ptex and ptex-base and ptex-tetex are basically the same with each other, so there should be no functionality regression. 20070407: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios AUTHOR: jarrod@netleader.com.au nagios now uses the registered uid/gid 181 for a fresh installation. To switch to the new scheme, the following may help: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios stop Stopping nagios. # find / -user nagios -exec chown 181 {} \; # find / -group nagios -exec chgrp 181 {} \; # pw groupmod nagios -g 181 # pw usermod nagios -u 181 -g 181 # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios start Performing sanity check of nagios configuration: OK Starting nagios. 20070405: AFFECTS: users of print/ghostscript-* AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org The default ghostscript port is changed from ghostscript-gnu to ghostscript-gpl. To upgrade portupgrade -o print/ghostscript-gpl ghostscript-gnu portmaster -o print/ghostscript-gpl ghostscript-gnu If you want to use the ghostscript-gnu as default, put WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GNU=yes in your make.conf. 20070404: AFFECTS: users of graphics/gimp and graphics/gimp-devel AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org The gimp[-devel] port is now a meta-port so users will need to upgrade via one of the following examples. Gimp now depends on gutenprint instead of gimp-print, if you have gimp-print installed you will need to pkg_delete gimp-print before you install or upgrade the gimp. Portmaster users: (gimp) portmaster -o graphics/gimp-app gimp portmaster -u graphics/gimp (gimp-devel) portmaster -o graphics/gimp-app-devel gimp-devel portmaster -u graphics/gimp-devel Portupgrade users: (gimp) portupgrade -o graphics/gimp-app gimp portupgrade -u graphics/gimp 20070404: AFFECTS: users of print/gutenprint AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org The gutenprint port is now a meta-port so users will need to upgrade via one of the following examples. If you have gimp-print installed you will need to pkg_delete gimp-print before installing gutenprint. Portmaster users: portmaster -o print/gutenprint-base gutenprint portmaster -u print/gutenprint Portupgrade users: portupgrade -o print/gutenprint-base gutenprint portupgrade -u print/gutenprint 20070402: AFFECTS: users of devel/cvstrac AUTHOR: nkoch@demig.de cvstrac is changed to use SQLite 3, users should backup their database then restore after upgrading. For example: mv cvstrac.db cvstrac_2.db sqlite cvstrac_2.db .dump | sqlite3 cvstrac.db 20070327: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-fc6 AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org ATTENTION! The port is experimental for now. Use it at your own risk. This port may be used only with 7-CURRENT and compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16. To use/test the port (along with linux FC4 infrastructure ports) you should do: 0. Backup all your vital information! 1. Remove the current linux base port. 2. Add to your /etc/make.conf "OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc6". 3. Make sure no linux application is running. 4. Set appropriate sysctl (compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16). 5. Install emulation/linux_base-fc6. 5a. Those who use linux ports with automatic plist building should apply the following patch: ftp://mail.ipt.ru/pub/FreeBSD/patches/bsd.linux-rpm.mk-autoplist.diff That should be enough at most circumstances. If you have difficulties, please be sure to expand item 1 to: 1a. Remove all ports that depend on linux base port. 1b. Remove linux base port. 1c. Clean /compat/linux/ directory. In case you want to get rid of the port, deinstall it, then return back compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2 (as usual, make sure that no linux application is running) and remove from /etc/make.conf the line containing the OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT variable. 20070327: AFFECTS: users of lang/tcl-tk-wrapper, lang/tcl*, x11-toolkits/tk* AUTHOR: martin@matuska.org The lang/tcl-tk-wrapper port has been replaced by lang/tcl-wrapper and x11-toolkits/tk-wrapper ports. The Tcl and Tk ports no longer include an option to install the wrapper -- the wrapper ports require a Tcl/Tk instead. The new configuration files in local etc directory are named: tclsh.conf, wish.conf. 20070327: AFFECTS: users of devel/py-sip and x11-toolkits/py-qt AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org py-sip and py-qt has been updated to the latest snapshot. Please update py-sip *before* updating py-qt and/or installing py-qt4-*. The full changelog can be found at http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/py-qt4.txt 20070325: AFFECTS: users of www/drupal and drupal-* AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org All 4.x drupal ports are renamed to have a drupal4 prefix. As a result, default install location is changed from PREFIX/www/drupal to PREFIX/www/drupal4. Take some precautions when upgrading. 20070319: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/fluxbox and x11-wm/fluxbox-devel AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The x11-wm/fluxbox-devel has been merged into x11-wm/fluxbox. You should back up your ~/.fluxbox and remove it. If you still want to keep using your good old ~/.fluxbox, you will have to do the following: - Since prefix has been changed from X11BASE (/usr/X11R6) to LOCALBASE (/usr/local), you might have to edit a few paths in the ~/.fluxbox/* if there are any. - The bsetroot has been renamed to fbsetroot. You might have to tweak a few themes for bsetroot -> fbsetroot. Other way it can be is to install the x11-wm/boxtools that has bsetroot if you do not want to edit any themes. While I am here, don't forget to use 'pkgdb -Ff'. As for the portmaster users, I don't think you will need to do anything since portmaster will take care of it by default. 20070318: AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU) AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.16.1, the shared library version of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all ports that depend on gettext (read: most of them, sorry): portupgrade -rf gettext or: portmaster -r gettext In addition, if you have multimedia/vlc installed, you should deinstall it *before* either of the above commands, and reinstall it manually afterwards: vlc erroneously installs its own version of lib/charset.alias which will overwrite the one supplied by devel/gettext otherwise. 20070313: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The HAL option has been turned on by default and the fstabbackend patches which have kept the fstab backend for the media kioslave at the status quo of KDE 3.5.3 have been removed. This means that MOUNTING DEVICES THROUGH KDE WILL NO LONGER WORK WITHOUT HAL. Thus if you wish to use device icons or the media:/ view in konqueror, make sure to turn on the HAL option in the x11/kdebase3 port and also read /usr/ports/UPDATING entry 20061219 and http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q19 for more information on using HAL. 20070312: AFFECTS: all users of net/py-libdnet AUTHOR: tmclaugh@FreeBSD.org The py-libdnet port has been separated out as a slave port to libdnet and is now dependent on libdnet. py-libdnet now only installs the libdnet python modules. Since files previously owned by py-libdnet are now owned by its dependency, in order to upgrade correctly, py-libdnet must be deinstalled and then reinstalled manually. 20070205: AFFECTS: all users of FreeBSD 4.X AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org The remnants of FreeBSD 4.X support have been removed from bsd.port.mk. Any remaining users should _not_ get this or any subsequent updates. 20070311: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment-devel AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org The binary used to start an enlightenment session was renamed from enlightenment to enlightenment_start. All users should update their xinitrc's or other startup files to reflect this change. 20070301: AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portupgrade* AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org Because of a bug in previous version, it's recommended you fill ALT_PKGDEP section in pkgtools.conf file for portupgrade be aware of alternative dependencies you use, and run pkgdb -L to restore dependencies that was lost. Example of ALT_PKGDEP section: ALT_PKGDEP = { 'www/apache13' => 'www/apache13-modssl', 'print/ghostscript-afpl' => 'print/ghostscript-gnu', } Note also, portupgrade knows nothing how to handle ports with different suffixes (E.g. -nox11). So you should define explicitly variables (E.g. WITHOUT_X11=yes) for the ports in /etc/make.conf or pkgtools.conf (MAKE_ARGS section) files. 20070227: AFFECTS: users of net-im/jabber* AUTHOR: martin@matuska.org With update to version 1.6.0 the name of the jabber daemon has been changed to bin/jabberd14 to avoid conflicts with other jabber daemons. The port now supports WITH_MYSQL and WITH_POSTGRESQL knobs. If you are using one of the following ports please recompile it due to changes in the library. net-im/jabber-conference net-im/jabber-jud net-im/jabber-yahoo Some configuration directives have changed, too. Please see example configuration files and README.jabberd14 files in the ports above. 20070223: AFFECTS: users of audio/speex and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The shared library version has been changed in audio/speex, so you will have to rebuild all ports that depend on speex. You need to do following: Portupgrade users: pkgdb -Ff portupgrade -rf speex\* Portmaster users, skip a first step if you don't have audio/speex-devel installed: portmaster -o audio/speex speex-devel\* portmaster -r speex\* 20070218: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/symon AUTHOR: uspoerlein@gmail.com The symon port has been updated from 2.72 to 2.75. It changes the wire protocol, therefore, you should update your symux(8) installation first, before updating your symon(8) clients. symux(8) is backwards compatible and understands both protocol versions. 20070215: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org Since version 0.90, clamd.conf and clamav.conf have changed their syntax. All parameters can now be turned on/off using a boolean value (0,1) or (on,off) or (true,false), the old crude hack of "DisableDefaultScanOptions" is no longer required. Please, check ${PREFIX}/etc/(clamd|freshclam).conf.default and make needed changes on your conf files. 20070215: AFFECTS: users of www/py-turbogears AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org TurboGears has been updated from version 0.8.9 to 1.0.1, so there are significant changes. After upgrading the port, with the usual portupgrade/portmanager command, it is highly recommended to follow the instructions at this URL: http://www.turbogears.com/download/upgrade.html starting from section "Updating from 0.8 to 0.9" on, to make your projects/code consistent with the new version. 20070210: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The media kioslave now mounts cdrom/dvd volumes with local charset conversion (mount_cd9660 -C ), which requires the cd9660_iconv kernel module to be available for volumes with ISO 9660 filesystems and the udf and udf_iconv kernel modules for UDF filesystems. 20070209: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org nVidia continues to drop support for old ("legacy") GPUs. To deal with this fact, the port now allows to specify correct NVVERSION in order to build driver that supports your graphics card. Currently, supported "legacy" values are 7184 and 9631. Consult nVidia's README (Appendix A) to find out whether you need to use legacy driver version, and exactly which one. Alternatively, you can install one of the corresponding `x11/nvidia-driver-XXXX' slave ports, where XXXX == needed NVVERSION. 20070208: AFFECTS: users of databases/pear-MDB2 AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org All databases dependent bits are moved into other PEAR modules. You need to install appropriate databases/pear-MDB2_Driver_* port. 20070207: AFFECTS: users of www/squid* AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de The www/squid port has been updated to 2.6. If you are updating from Squid 2.5, please read the Squid release notes at http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/squid-2.6.STABLE9-RELEASENOTES.html and see whether you need to adapt your squid.conf to the changes described there. Squid 2.5 will be available as www/squid25 for next few months. But note it's no longer being maintained by the Squid developers. 20070206: AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org qemu now uses aio at least for ide dma, so if you get "Invalid system call" crashes that is because aio is not (kld)loaded. 20070206: AFFECTS: users of graphics/djvulibre AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org djview was renamed to djview3. For now, the symlink djview->djview3 installed for compatibility. However, users should refer to djview3(1) instead of djview(1). 20070205: AFFECTS: prospective users of devel/qt4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The qt4 ports and associated infrastructure introduce a few new Makefile variables and porting concepts (compared to qt33). For details and examples, see http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2007-February/000239.html 20070205: AFFECTS: everybody AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org New ports category was created: ports-mgmt. Most significant port moved to this new category is portupgrade. So don't be alarmed, it was not deleted. You can find it now in /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade. 20070205: AFFECTS: users of devel/portmk AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org With the repocopy of portmk to ports-mgmt, you need to update your make.conf. Change the two Makevars BSDPORTMK and BSDPORTSUBDIRMK to point to ports-mgmt/portmk. 20070202: AFFECTS: users of www/aolserver AUTHOR: martin@matuska.org With update to aolserver 4.5.0 modules have been moved to separate ports. The following modules are available initially: archivers/aolserver-nszlib databases/aolserver-nsmysql databases/aolserver-nspostgres graphics/aolserver-nsgd security/aolserver-nsencrypt security/aolserver-nsmcrypt security/aolserver-nsmhash security/aolserver-nsopenssl security/aolserver-nssha1 www/aolserver-nscache A different aolserver install directory for aolserver and modules can be specified by defining AOLSERVERBASE in make.conf The rc.d script has been renamed from aolserver.sh to aolserver. 20070102: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org If you have a problem with upgrading the tools from version 2.2.1 and less, remove the package with pkg_delete portupgrade\* command and reinstall it from scratch. Remove /usr/ports/INDEX*.db and run portsdb -u. 20070130: AFFECTS: users of dns/powerdns AUTHOR: tremere@cainites.net The configuration file was moved from /usr/local/etc to /usr/local/etc/pdns. 20070127: AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot AUTHOR: robin@isometry.net Since dovecot-1.0.r15, the port has reserved UID/GID 143. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, please allow the uninstall script to remove the dovecot user and group or remove them manually prior to reinstalling the new version. If your prefer to maintain your existing user/group, you may override this change with the DOVECOT_UID/DOVECOT_GID environment variables at installation time. 20070115: AFFECTS: users of www/lightsquid AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org The default configuration files have changed to ${PREFIX}/etc/lightsquid. 20070111: AFFECTS: users of irc/weechat AUTHOR: az@FreeBSD.org For users of any previous version, all your charset settings in weechat.rc will be LOST! You should save your weechat.rc to keep your values and set them again with new "charset" plugin. For ISO users: history of channels may be without accents (after /upgrade), this is not recoverable, but this is not a bug. All new messages should be ok. Be careful, now default encode is UTF-8 for all channels (before it was terminal charset). If you still want to send messages as ISO-8859-1, you should send either global encode or server specific encode to ISO-8859-1. For global encode: /setp charset.global.encode = "ISO-8859-1" For server encode: (on server buffer) /charset encode ISO-8859-1 20070109: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The server-side utilities of postgresql (initdb, initlocation, ipcclean, pg_controldata, pg_ctl, pg_id and pg_resetxlog) are now installed by the respective postgresql*-server port (previously they where installed with the client). If you update the client, you should also update the server to make sure you are not left without the server-side tools. Do something like: portupgrade postgresql-client postgresql-server 20070105: AFFECTS: users of mail/spamprobe AUTHOR: stefan@FreeBSD.org With the update to version 1.4d, the SpamProbe port doesn't use the OPTIONS framework any more to allow part of the changes below. That means that options selected for this port won't be saved/used automatically any more and you have to set the appropriate variables in /etc/make.conf or on the command line to change the port's behaviour; the variables are documented at the top of the port's Makefile. Before updating, it might be a good idea to remove /var/db/ports/spamprobe. The port now has support for the PBL database backend; unless built with WITHOUT_PBL set, SpamProbe will use PBL as the default even if you have an existing BerkleyDB or hash database; in that case, use the parameter "-d" to specify the type of the existing database on the command line, e.g.: spamprobe -d bdb:$HOME/.spamprobe receive or: spamprobe -d hash:$HOME/.spamprobe receive Using PBL instead of BerkleyDB might be a good idea, though, as the former seems to perform better. You can convert your existing database to PBL using the following commands (assuming you didn't disable PBL support): cd mkdir spamprobe.new spamprobe -d bdb:.spamprobe export | spamprobe -d spamprobe.new import mv .spamprobe spamprobe.old mv spamprobe.new .spamprobe 20070106: AFFECTS: users of security/libwhisker AUTHOR: araujo@bsdmail.org Libwhisker 2.0 is *not* backwards-compatible with Libwhisker 1.x. Changing 'use LW' to 'use LW2' in your programs is not enough--you may need to make code changes to your program. However, there is a 'bridge' LW.pm module in which will use LW2 (libwhisker 2.x) functions to emulate the LW (libwhisker 1.x) functionality. See http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/libwhisker/README2 for more details. 20070104: AFFECTS: users of www/phpsurveyor AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/phpsurveyor to ${PREFIX}/www/phpsurveyor. 20070104: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/hal AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org If atapicam is enabled in the kernel, hald will use the CAM device nodes instead of ATAPI device nodes to access disc devices (e.g. CD-ROMS, DVD drives, etc.). Previously, hald would use ATAPI device nodes even if atapicam was enabled. The previous behavior can be restored by following the instructions in /usr/local/share/doc/hal-0.5.8/README.freebsd. 20070102: AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org gnutls has been updated to 1.6.1 and all shared libraries' versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on gnutls. Do something like: portupgrade -rf gnutls 20061231: AFFECTS: users of mail/sylpheed-claws* AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org Sylpheed-Claws has been renamed to Claws-Mail upstream. The port and the ports for the plug-ins have been renamed. If you didn't install claws-mail already you need to: portupgrade -o mail/claws-mail sylpheed-claws-2.6\* 20061221: AFFECTS: users of security/gnupg AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org The security/gnupg port was upgraded to 2.0.1 (with security fix) and good-old gnupg-1.4.6 was repocopied to security/gnupg1. Both of security/gnupg (2.x) and security/gnupg1 (1.4.x) are designed not to conflict with each other. So you can use security/gnupg1 for gpg(1), and use security/gnupg for gpg2(1) commands. All directly dependents are $PORTREVISION bumped, so portupgrade -R gnupg will works fine. After portupgrade, you will have both of gnupg-2.0.1 and gnupg-1.4.6. 20061219: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you choose to enable the HAL backend for the media kioslave, you should enable dbus, hal and policy kit during system startup. To do this, add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf: dbus_enable="YES" polkitd_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" Notes and known problems about mounting devices in media:/ with HAL enabled: - Your user must be in group operator in order to be able to mount removable media. - Removable media drives (such as CD-ROM drives) *MUST NOT* be listed in /etc/fstab in order to be mountable. - If you mount a volume by double-clicking it, it may appear empty. Refresh the fileview in konqueror to see the files. - Mounting floppies is currently not supported. You can still mount them in KDE if ... - You have an fstab entry for your floppy pointing to a mountpoint owned by your user (e.g. somewhere in your homedir) - The vfs.usermount sysctl is set to 1 ... by creating a floppy device icon on your KDE desktop and selecting the above-mentioned fstab entry in the device dropdown list on the device tab. - Mounting volumes from fixed drives is prohibited for non-superusers by default. 20061212: AFFECTS: users of net/smokeping AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Smokeping now uses rc.d script to startup. Please remember to add 'smokeping_enable="YES"' to your rc.conf. 20061207: AFFECTS: users of devel/p5-PAR AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org As of version 0.97.0, all PAR::Packer logic, i.e. pp, parl and all packaging tools are moved to another distribution. You can install devel/p5-PAR-Packer to get them. 20061207: AFFECTS: users of net/samba3 AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org Version 3.0.23d of net/samba3 finally got ability to conditionally link smbd daemon against FAM libraries. If you don't need this support make sure that it's not selected in the options menu - run 'make config' to verify it. You can remove FAM package if it was installed before as a part of Samba dependencies. 20061201: AFFECTS: users of mail/assp AUTHOR: fbsd@opal.com This version of ASSP switches virus detection support from Mail::ClamAV to File::Scan::ClamAV which uses the external clamd daemon from the security/clamav port. You will need to ensure clamd is configured and running if you wish to use ASSP's CLAMAV option. The default means for ASSP to communicate with clamd has been set to match clamd's UNIX socket: /var/run/clamav/clamd. If you use clamd with a TCP socket, you should configure ASSP's AvClamdPort option to 3310 or whatever socket you use. 20061130: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap2[34]-server AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org The default Berkeley DB version has been changed from 4.3 to 4.4, as suggested by OpenLDAP developers. Suggested upgrade steps: - Stop OpenLDAP server (i.e. ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/slapd stop) - Backup the OpenLDAP database (typically, /var/db/openldap-data) with your favorite tool - Do a "slapcat > backup.ldif" to dump all data - portupgrade net/openldap23-server - Remove BDB files from your /var/db/openldap-data; you will want to keep DB_CONFIG as-is. - Do a "slapadd < backup.ldif" to restore the data Alternatively, if you want to keep the current BDB version (4.3), please define WITH_BDB_VER=43 when building the server. 20061121: AFFECTS: users of www/hastymail AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/hastymail to ${PREFIX}/www/hastymail. 20061109: AFFECTS: users of milter-bogom, dk-milter, dkim-milter AUTHOR: ache@FreeBSD.org All 3 milters change their default user to "mailnull". 20061108: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql*-server AUTHOR: Palle Girgensohn With the latest patch release of the PostgreSQL ports, the rc script is renamed `postgresql'. 20061106: AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius AUTHOR: David Wood FreeBSD used to patch FreeRADIUS's rlm_mschap.c to strip all domain names when calculating the hash of an MS-CHAP challenge (a requirement specified in RFC 2759 paragraph 4 and amplified in paragraph 8.2). FreeRADIUS now offers its own solution to discard a domain name before hashing in the MS-CHAP code, which can be enabled via a configuration option. As there is no longer any need for the FreeBSD patch, it has been removed, leaving the MS-CHAP code behaving as supplied by the FreeRADIUS team. If the previous behaviour of the MS-CHAP code is required, add: with_ntdomain_hack = yes to the mschap { } section of your FreeRADIUS configuration. There should be a commented out line that can be modified around line 696 of ${PREFIX}/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf if your configuration is based on the sample FreeRADIUS configuration. This option is not set by default in the sample FreeRADIUS configuration. Only those who have clients sending a domain name as part of the user name when using MS-CHAP will be affected by this change; they will need to set this option to allow FreeRADIUS to authenticate their clients successfully. This may only affect those with older Windows clients, but I cannot be sure. Some sources suggest setting this configuration option anyway to prevent FreeRADIUS from breaching RFC 2759 inadvertently, leading to authentication failure. It is left to the user whether to set this configuration option anyway, or only to set it in the event of authentication failures stemming from MS-CHAP. Debug output from radiusd that reads "rlm_mschap: NT Domain delimeter found, should we have enabled with_ntdomain_hack?" suggests that this configuration option should be enabled. New maintainer alerted to this issue by private mail from Thomas Vogt . 20061106: AFFECTS: users of syutils/munin-* AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/munin to ${PREFIX}/www/munin. 20061106: AFFECTS: users of chinese/tatter-tools AUTHOR: chinsan.tw@gmail.com The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/tatter to ${PREFIX}/www/tatter. 20061102: AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org - Along with the update to fetchmail 6.3.5, support for the POP2 protocol has been removed from the port's default configuration. If needed, POP2 can be enabled with the port's option interface. - New feature: GSSAPI support. 20061101: AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot AUTHOR: shaun@FreeBSD.org Dovecot now requires the mail root to be set explicitly in the default_mail_env variable, where it could previously be omitted. Using the old-style syntax may result in dovecot being unable to find mailboxes. Installations using the example/default configuration settings should not be affected. This is noted in the release announcement: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-news/2006-October/000016.html 20061031: AFFECTS: users of math/rkward AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org The way some information such as descriptive labels is stored in the R workspace was changed in RKWard 0.4.0. While the data itself can still be loaded, labels will not be available from workspaces created with an earlier version of RKWard. To convert the old labels to the new format, run rk.convert.pre040 () in the RKWard R console after loading the workspace in question. 20061031: AFFECTS: users of news/inn-current or news/inn-stable AUTHOR: shaun@FreeBSD.org The stable and current ports of inn have been updated. They suffered from the same problem previously documented and fixed in news/inn. When upgrading either of the two mentioned ports, users are advised to move inn's database directory (/usr/local/news/db) out of the way prior to _deinstallation_ in order to save its contents from being erased. 20061014: AFFECTS: all GTK+2 and GNOME users AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.16. All GTK+2 and GNOME components have been moved from X11BASE (/usr/X11R6) to LOCALBASE (/usr/local). To upgrade your GNOME desktop or/and other applications you will need to use either sysutils/portupgrade or sysutils/portmaster. To use portmaster, make sure you have least 1.9 version to have the upgrade succeed. Portupgrade users: pkgdb -Ff portupgrade -rf pkg-config\* Portmaster users: portmaster -r pkg-config\* 20061010: AFFECTS: users of devel/avr-gcc* AUTHOR: joerg@FreeBSD.org The old avr-gcc port has been renamed into avr-gcc-3, and continues support for GCC 3.x (for a while). The former avr-gcc-devel port has been moved into avr-gcc, so GCC 4.x is now the default. There is an entry in MOVED for the latter change but not for the former one, as the automated tools (e.g. portupgrade) got confused otherwise. If you've previously been using avr-gcc-devel, these tools should automatically take notice (based on the entry in MOVED), and change the installed package to avr-gcc. If you've previously been using avr-gcc, and want to move on to the new default GCC 4.x, this should be fully automatic, as the port name just stays, and the version increases. If you've previously been using avr-gcc, and want to stay at GCC 3.x for some reason, please manually perform a portupgrade to the new name: portupgrade -o devel/avr-gcc-3 avr-gcc 20061010: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/flexbackup AUTHOR: Marcus von Appen The port now respects PREFIX: Before: /etc/flexbackup.conf for PREFIX=whatever, WITH_PREFIX_CONF unset Now: PREFIX/etc/flexbackup.conf for PREFIX=whatever 20061010: AFFECTS: users of audio/gtkpod AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org WITH_AAC knob has been renamed to WITH_MPEG4IP since it now covers not only AAC, but H.264 support as well. 20061009: AFFECTS: users of ports using ODBC (databases/libiodbc or databases/unixODBC) AUTHOR: ganael.laplanche@martymac.com All the ports have been modified to use the same way of choosing between ODBC flavors (IODBC and UNIXODBC). This way is defining either WITH_IODBC or WITH_UNIXODBC. 20061009: AFFECTS: users of any ports using Python AUTHOR: perky@FreeBSD.org After upgrading of lang/python, you must rebuild all its consumer ports to make them get ready to Python 2.5. To do this, you will need to: pkgdb -uf && cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages 20061007: AFFECTS: users of security/p5-openxpki AUTHOR: svysh@cryptocom.ru Old port security/p5-openxpki has been split into 8 new ports: p5-openxpki: core for server part p5-openxpki-client: base class for actual clients p5-openxpki-i18n: internationalization of the user interface p5-openxpki-client-cli: command line interface to local OpenXPKI daemon p5-openxpki-client-html-mason: web interface to local OpenXPKI daemon p5-openxpki-client-scep: set of SCEP tools p5-openxpki-client-soap-lite: set of SOAP-Lite tools p5-openxpki-deployment: set of deployment tools Please see security/p5-openxpki/pkg-descr for their interdependencies. 20060926: AFFECTS: users of security/libgpg-error and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org libgpg-error was updated to 1.4 and shared library version has been bumped. So you need to rebuild all ports that depend on libgpg-error. Do something like: portupgrade -rf libgpg-error-\* 20060923: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/net-snmp AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org rcNG script was updated to support snmpd_pidfile and snmpd_conffile. So, if you set snmpd_flags like "-c /usr/local/etc/snmpd.conf ...", please change your /etc/rc.conf like following setting: from (before update) snmpd_flags="-a -c /usr/local/etc/snmpd.conf -p /var/run/snmpd.pid" to (after update) snmpd_flags="-a" snmpd_pidfile="/var/run/snmpd.pid" snmpd_conffile="/usr/local/etc/snmpd.conf" 20060922: AFFECTS: users of mail/tmda AUTHOR: sergei@FreeBSD.org TMDA has been updated to version 1.1.5, which is the latest stable release. 1.1 is now the stable branch, 1.0 branch has been obsoleted. Changes include: - ~/.tmdarc configuration file has been obsoleted by ~/.tmda/ dir; see ${PREFIX}/share/examples/dot-tmda for sample configuration - only minimal set of HTML documentation is now installed; please see http://wiki.tmda.net/ for full documentation - templates has changed: single bounce.txt has been replaced with various bounce_*.txt templates; see ${PREFIX}/share/tmda 20060921: AFFECTS: users of mail/mailfront AUTHOR: sergei@FreeBSD.org Mailfront was rewritten in version 1.0 to be totally modular. Its functionality has been split into several modules that are now installed into ${PREFIX}/libexec/mailfront. Various *front-* commands are now merely shell script wrappers around the newly introduced mailfront command and its new modules. The smtpfront-reject command has been removed completely, being deprecated in favor of using a plugin. Please refer to http://untroubled.org/mailfront/NEWS for further details. 20060910: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/zabbix AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org Users who start zabbix server should note that server name was changed from zabbix_suckerd to zabbix_server and a variable in /etc/rc.conf should be changed accordingly. 20060904: AFFECTS: users of net/samba3 AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org Revision of Samba 3.0.23c port had changed location of the directory, where Samba stores it's smbpasswd files from $PREFIX/private to a more common $PREFIX/etc/samba. You need to move *.tdb files from an old to new location and remove old directory if you use tdbsam backend for Samba user authentication. Starting with the 3.0.23c release, the officially supported passdb backends (smbpasswd, tdbsam, and ldapsam) now operate identically with regards to the historical RID algorithm for unmapped users and groups (i.e. accounts not in the passdb or group mapping table). The resulting behavior is that all unmapped users are resolved to a SID in the S-1-22-1 domain and all unmapped groups resolve to a SID in the S-1-22-2 domain. Previously, when using the smbpasswd passdb, such users and groups would resolve to an algorithmic SID in the machine's own domain (S-1-5-XX-XX-XX). However, the smbpasswd backend still utilizes the RID algorithm when creating new user accounts or allocating a RID for a new group mapping entry. With the changes in the 3.0.23c release, it is now possible to resolve a uid/gid, name, or SID in any direction and always obtain a symmetric mapping. This is important so that values for smb.conf parameters such as "valid users" resolve to the same SIDs as those included in the local user's initial token. 20060902: AFFECTS: users of japanese/uim-anthy and japanese/uim-canna AUTHOR: nobutaka@FreeBSD.org Input modes for uim-anthy and uim-canna are reorganized since version 1.2.0. Please re-configure the following keybindings with uim-pref: - off key - convert to halfwidth alphanumeric key - convert to fullwidth alphanumeric key - convert to halfwidth katakana key - halfwidth katakana mode key 20060902: AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/linuxdcpp AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The name of binary, datadir, and docsdir have been renamed from ldcpp to linuxdcpp by the linuxdcpp developer. 20060831: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/fluxbox-devel AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The prefix has been changed, the fluxbox-devel now lives in LOCALBASE. You will need to download the fluxbox_prefix.sh script and run it as in your normal users that have ~/.fluxbox. The script only will replace old path to the new path; it does not affect on anything else. $ fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/script/fluxbox_prefix.sh $ sh fluxbox_prefix.sh It will creating a backup of ~/.fluxbox to ~/.fluxbox-bak. If everything work fine, then you can remove ~/.fluxbox-bak. If you have the different default of LOCALBASE and X11BASE, you can edit it in fluxbox_prefix.sh. 20060831: AFFECTS: users of games/warzone AUTHOR: alepulver@FreeBSD.org games/warzone port directory was renamed back to games/warzone2100 because the last version (2.0.4) uses the original name. 20060830: AFFECTS: users of textproc/p5-Senna AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org This version (0.50) of p5-Senna module breaks some compatibilities with the previous versions. 20060828: AFFECTS: users of devel/gpc AUTHOR: mi+mx@aldan.algebra.com devel/gpc port directory was renamed to devel/libgpc to avoid conflicting with lang/gpc. 20060828: AFFECTS: users of games/warzone2100 AUTHOR: alepulver@FreeBSD.org games/warzone2100 port directory was renamed to games/warzone to match the port distfile and data directory. 20060827: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Perforce has been updated to version 2006.1. As usual, there has been significant schema upgrades, so even though upgrading to 2006.1 is straightforward, it is still highly recommended to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.061/user/relnotes.txt 20060818: AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-server or net/isc-dhcp3-relay AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de Starting with version 3.0.5rc1 of the ISC DHCPD package, any running "dhcpd" or "dhcrelay" processes are stopped automatically when the port gets deinstalled. Please remember to start the services again manually, in case you upgrade from version 3.0.5rc1 or newer to any other version. Due to the better use of the USE_RC_SUBR framework, the rc script name may change from isc-dhcpd.sh or isc-dhcrelay.sh to isc-dhcpd or isc-dhcrelay depending on the FreeBSD version you use. 20060818: AFFECTS: users of www/gallery2 AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/gallery2 to ${PREFIX}/www/gallery2. 20060818: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de Starting with nut-2.0.4, the megatec UPS driver has been backported from the development tree. Users of the following UPS drivers (powermust, blazer, fentonups, mustek, esupssmart, ippon, sms, masterguard) are encouraged to switch to the megatec UPS driver, which should replace all these drivers by nut-2.2 . For more information, please refer to ${LOCALBASE}/share/doc/nut/megatec.txt 20060815: AFFECTS: users of net/samba3 AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org Since Samba 3.0.8, it has been recommended that all domain accounts listed in smb.conf on a member server be fully qualified with the domain name. This is now a requirement. All unqualified names are assumed to be local to the Unix host, either as part of the server's local passdb or in the local system list of accounts (e.g. /etc/passwd or /etc/group). If the member server is not running winbindd at all, domain accounts will be implicitly mapped to local accounts and their tokens will be modified appropriately to reflect the local SID and group membership. 20060804: AFFECTS: users of editors/jedit-devel AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org Starting with jEdit 4.3pre6, jedit-devel now requires Java 1.5+ to be installed due to new features and classes used by the package. If you cannot install or use Java 1.5, you will need to stay with jEdit 4.2. 20060802: AFFECTS: users of www/linux-opera AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The prefix has been changed, linux-opera now lives in LOCALBASE. Be sure to go in ~/.linux-opera/ and open a few of *.ini files to change all of this from "/usr/X11R6/share/linux-opera" to "/usr/local/share/linux-opera". Most of editors have 'search and replace' option, so use it or just use sed. 20060801: AFFECTS: users of www/b2evolution AUTHOR: chinsan.tw@gmail.com The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/b2evolution to ${PREFIX}/www/b2evolution. 20060801: AFFECTS: users of audio/libtunepimp and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org libtunepimp has been updated to 0.5. But it breaks some ports depend on it such as audio/juk and audio/amarok. To fix this kind of problem, try to install audio/libtunepimp-old, which is previous version of audio/libtunepimp. 20060731: AFFECTS: users of graphics/GraphicsMagick AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org In order to fix a symbol collision between GraphicsMagick and libtidy, GraphicsMagick has been updated so that all its symbols are now prefixed with 'Gm'. Consequently, all dependencies should be upgraded when you perform this upgrade with this command: portupgrade -rf graphics/GraphicsMagick 20060729: AFFECTS: users of net/nss_ldap AUTHOR: tmclaugh@sdf.lonestar.org The krb5_ccname option in ldap.conf has been fixed in the port so that it now works. Please be aware of this when updating if you have it in your config and are using GSSAPI when use_sasl is enabled. Using GSSAPI with a misconfigured krb5_ccname combined with one of the 'hard' bind_policy options can effectively lockout users. 20060728: AFFECTS: users of polish/ekg and polish/ibgadu AUTHOR: mwisnicki+freebsd@gmail.com If you have installed both ekg-1.6,2 and libgadu-20051229_1 then you should first deinstall them and install polish/ekg after that, e.g.: pkg_deinstall -f pl-ekg-\* pl-libgadu-\* portinstall polish/ekg 20060723: AFFECTS: users of www/dillo-i18n AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de Starting with version 20060709 the i18n version of Dillo encodes the bookmark file using UTF-8 encoding. You can try to convert your existing bookmark file with the bm-update script or you could try to convert it by hand using iconv(1) from you current locale to UTF-8, e.g. by calling 'iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 ~/.dillo/bm.txt'. Please see the iconv documentation for further details. 20060722: AFFECTS: users of games/phpua-* AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/phpua-* to ${PREFIX}/www/phpua-*. 20060719: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org mail/postfix was updated to 2.3.0 and does no longer support POSTFIX_OPTIONS, please consider using "make config" to set your OPTIONS. The SPF patch was removed since this does not apply cleanly and has problems when using pipe(8). Consider using mail/postfix-policyd-spf instead of the SPF patch. If you need the Postfix 2.2 version you can find this in mail/postfix22. 20060715: AFFECTS: users of Aspell or its versions bundled with dictionaries AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org Since aspell-0.60.4_4, all dictionaries can be installed separately: - by default, textproc/aspell installs the English dictionaries (no change); - thereafter you can install any foreign dictionary; - when you install a foreign dictionary, e.g. french/aspell or textproc/da-aspell, it installs only the dictionaries, and depends upon textproc/aspell for the programs; - if you don't need the English dictionaries, you can define WITHOUT_DICTEN or install textproc/aspell-without-dicten. 20060714: AFFECTS: users of security/krb5 AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org As of MIT KRB5 1.5, Kerberos no longer supports static linking nor do the static libraries build. The reason for this is that KRB5 1.5 implements plugins to implement functions. GSS-API is now implemented as a function. As such, the MIT Kerberos team has yet to implement plugins using static libraries. Users requiring static libraries or statically linked binaries are advised not to upgrade to this release until MIT provides a solution for statically linked binaries. 20060714: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org www/mediawiki version is 1.7 now. 1.6 version was preserved on www/mediawiki16 port. 20060713: AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/terminus-font AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org Since version 4.20, terminus-font changed place to install fonts to ${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/terminus-font, please, add this new path to your font paths. 20060711: AFFECTS: users of net/samba3 AUTHOR: timur@gnu.org Starting from version 3.0.23 Samba no longer supports experimental SQL and XML passdb backends. If you need this functionality, please visit http://pdbsql.sourceforge.net/ (port is coming soon). The default mapping entries for groups such as "Domain Admins" are no longer created when using an smbpasswd file or a tdbsam passdb backend. Use 'net groupmap add' rather than 'net groupmap modify' to set these entries. A substring matching rule has been added to the sambaSID attribute definition. For OpenLDAP servers, this will require the addition of 'index sambaSID sub' to the slapd.conf configuration file. It will be necessary to run slapindex after making this change. There has been no change to actual data storage schema. 20060711: AFFECTS: users of games/linux-ut AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org, sean-freebsd@farley.org Some fixes for network play were done in UnrealTournament.ini There are two ways to fix it: 1. The easy way is to remove the ${HOME}/.loki/ut directory, yet all local settings will be lost. 2. The hard way: in ${HOME}/.loki/ut/UnrealTrounament.ini, under the [Core.System] section, SavePath, CachePath and multiple Paths variables should be replaced with the ones in (and in the same order as) ${PREFIX}/share/linux-ut/System/UnrealTournament.ini. 20060707: AFFECTS: users of www/lifetype AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/lifetype to ${PREFIX}/www/lifetype. 20060706: AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org gnutls has been updated to 1.4.0 and all shared libraries' versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on gnutls. Do something like: portupgrade -rf gnutls 20060703: AFFECTS: users of audio/amarok AUTHOR: mich@FreeBSD.org A bunch of port options have been removed, so you should remove your current options, before attempting to build the port. - Enter the amarok port directory, and run `make rmconfig' 20060703: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org Because portupgrade had a problem with detecting Berkley DB version 2 or newer, and the default database format is now set to use these versions, you can end up with a portupgrade that does not work with older databases. A quick fix is to remove the databases, type: 'rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX*.db'. portupgrade will recreate them automatically. It does absolutely no harm. If you do not want remove the databases, you should detect what database type do you use, and set the port options for portupgrade accordingly. Follow these instructions: - run 'pkgdb -fu' *before* upgrading and take a look on the output. You can see database format there as: format:XXX, where XXX is your current database format. - Go to portupgrade port directory and configure the port with `make config' command. If you have bdb_* format, then turn on the BDB4 option. If you have bdb1_* format, then turn off BDB4 and turn on the BDB1 option. If you have dbd_hash format, then turn off all options. - Upgrade portupgrade. Note: if you change database format with changing port options, you should remove the ruby-bdb* port that you don't need anymore. Alternatively, you can hard code database format in your pkgtools.conf. 20060702: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/handbrake AUTHOR: multimedia@FreeBSD.org The GTK+2 version in the 0.7.x has been disabled by the author, because it does not work anymore. If you still want to keep with GTK+2 version, go with multimedia/handbrake-gtk2 (still 0.6.x) instead. The name of binary has been renamed to handbrake-gtk2 too. 20060701: AFFECTS: users of www/phpbb AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/phpbb to ${PREFIX}/www/phpbb. 20060629: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data-dist/mediawiki to ${PREFIX}/www/mediawiki. 20060624: AFFECTS: users of audio/mt-daapd AUTHOR: alex@foxybanana.com The default database directory has been changed to /var/db/mt-daapd. The default mp3 dir has been changed to ${PREFIX}/share/mt-daapd. Old configuration files will be maintained, if present, so no updating should be required. 20060624: AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent-devel and net/py-bittorrent-core-devel AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org This version has been specially patched to enable launchmany-{console,curses}. This is experimental. 20060624: AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent and net/py-bittorrent-core AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org launchmany-{console,curses} do not work under this version. 20060622: AFFECTS: users of www/dokuwiki AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/dokuwiki to ${PREFIX}/www/dokuwiki. 20060622: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-client AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org MySQL version 5.0 is now the default. If you have only the client port, you can upgrade all ports with: portupgrade -rfo databases/mysql50-client mysql-client 20060616: AFFECTS: users of all pfpro ports AUTHOR: aaron@FreeBSD.org The default certificate location has been changed to respect hier(7). The new default location is LOCALBASE/etc/pfpro/certs. 20060616: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22{,-sasl}-client AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP version 2.3 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do portupgrade -rfo net/openldap23-client openldap-client (or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=22' to /etc/make.conf. 20060616: AFFECTS: users of emulation/linux_base-* AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org We now use Fedora Core 4 as the linux base port, and the corresponding xorg libs for the linux X11 libs port. To upgrade you have to run portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\* portupgrade -f -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs You need to make sure that you have not changed the sysctl compat.linux.osrelease. FC4 behaves differently depending on the content of this sysctl. Only the default value of this sysctl is supported. In case of problems also revert to the default of the compat.linux.osname if changed. In case "printenv | grep LD_" prints something, e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD, you have to make sure it is not set when starting linux programs, else FreeBSD libraries will be picked up and the programs do not start. After this start a linux program to test, e.g., acroread. If you get errors when starting linux programs about problems with libraries, and you made sure no LD_* variable is set as described above, you are one of those unlucky people where we do not have a better solution as to tell you to deinstall every linux port, remove /compat/linux completely to make sure no cruft is left and reinstall everything you need. 20060612: AFFECTS: users of editors/staroffice60, editors/staroffice70 and german/staroffice70 AUTHOR: erwin@FreeBSD.org The USE_CDROM knob was renamed to WITH_CDROM for consistency within the ports tree. 20060611: AFFECTS: users of www/c-icap AUTHOR: b3k@mail.ru The format of file c-icap.magic has changed. If you use your own c-icap.magic file remember to convert it to the new format. It can be done using the convert_old_magic.pl script located in the contrib directory. 20060605: AFFECTS: users of net/kdenetwork3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The KDE multi-protocol instant messenger, Kopete, has been moved out of the net/kdenetwork3 port and is now available separately as net-im/kopete. 20060529: AFFECTS: users of net/quagga AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org As of version 0.99.4 quagga no longer supports UCD-SNMP v4. If you require this functionality, you should make alternative arrangements before upgrading quagga. 20060529: AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail-spamcontrol AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org Updated to version 2.4.14 that brings a lot of news, most significant is STARTTLS support on smtpd and pop3d, if you want to use it, you need to install sysutils/ucspi-ssl-tls port that has the necessary patch applied. Remember to select STDERR option and rebuild security/clamav port, this is necessary to have the correct log on smtpd. After upgrade from 2.3.x you will need to set environment var SMTPAUTH to enable auth, you can set it as "login" or "crammd5" to set which auth you want. 20060528: AFFECTS: users of news/inn AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com The 2.4.3 port of inn has an unfortunate bug which causes inn's database files to be erased during an uninstall or upgrade. Earlier versions are also affected. The latest port revision fixes this, but before upgrading, users are advised to move their ${PREFIX}/news/db directory out of the way, in order to save the history, active and newsgroups databases from destruction. 20060526: AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-new AUTHOR: gkovesdan@t-hosting.hu The Clamav project recommended that security/clamav and security/clamav-devel should depend on archivers/unzoo instead of zoo, and on archivers/arj instead of unarj. Because the clamav and clamav-devel ports are used quite often with amavisd-new, this port was modified to depend on the same two archiver ports as well. The amavisd-new port automatically recognizes arj, but not unzoo, so ${PREFIX}/etc/amavisd.conf should be modified. This line should be changed: ['zoo', \&do_zoo, 'zoo'], To this one: ['zoo', \&do_zoo, ['zoo','unzoo'] ], 20060526: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap23-server AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org The setting of SHELL backend has been inverted to off by default, because of the side effect it can cause. A new option, SLURPD has been added to give the user decision on whether the replication should be built and installed. Please note that the replication daemon is disabled when threading is disabled (e.g. when using shell backend), no matter what the user option SLURPD is set to. You are advised to do a "make config" in the net/openldap23-server directory *before* upgrading. 20060524: AFFECTS: users of games/spicetrade AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org To comply with the Porter's Handbook recommendations, spicetrade port no longer defines USE_X_PREFIX. Hence the executable used to launch the game has moved to ${PREFIX}/bin/spicetrade (was ${X11BASE}/bin/spicetrade). 20060524: AFFECTS: users of java/jasmin AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The executable has been renamed to 'jasmin' (was 'jasmin.sh') 20060522: AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced, astro/boinc-setiathome-naparst, astro-boinc-setiathome AUTHOR: r.c.ladan@gmail.com As SETI@home doesn't generate work for 4.x clients anymore, the ports structure has been updated to use the 5.x client by default. People currently using any of the above ports should finish and report their existing work (both for normal and enhanced) and not allow any new work until after their ports are updated, to minimize loss of work. Note that this update changes the enhanced client to work for the normal instead of the beta project. When a beta client for Astropulse is released, it will work as the new client for the beta project. 20060518: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap23-server AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org The OpenLDAP 2.3.x series now automatically disables threading when shell backend is enabled, as suggested by the OpenLDAP developers. Users should be aware of the change and choose whether to enable the feature. 20060516: AFFECTS: users of www/tinyproxy AUTHOR: wxs@csh.rit.edu tinyproxy now installs a rc.d script. To enable tinyproxy at boot time, set the following in rc.conf(5): tinyproxy_enable="YES" The configuration file for tinyproxy has been moved to ${PREFIX}/etc/tinyproxy.conf. Any old configuration files will need to be migrated over to the new location. 20060514: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/smartmontools, others AUTHOR: jylefort@FreeBSD.org In FreeBSD 6.1, the ata(4) device ABI has changed. After updating to FreeBSD 6.1, ports which access ATA drives directly (sysutils/smartmontools, others) must be rebuilt. 20060512: AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org Fetchmail now has a rcNG script. It supports two modes: - one fetchmail instance per user: Set the `fetchmail_users' variable to a list of users for which you want to start fetchmail. - a global system wide daemon (runs per default as user `fetchmail') See $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/fetchmail for details. 20060509: AFFECTS: users of net-im/sulci AUTHOR: Denis Shaposhnikov After upgrading from 0.5.a.20050918 version you have to convert your vocabulary database to sqlite using: /usr/local/libexec/sulci/wtf_convert and change sulci's configuration file in "vocabulary" directive, see /usr/local/share/examples/sulci/sulci.conf.example 20060507: AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-server with failover setup AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de Beginning with isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.4 a new field is added to the lease state structures found in the dhcpd.leases file. Please refer to ${PREFIX}/share/doc/isc-dhcp3-server/RELNOTES for further informations about this change and how you can update your dhcpd.leases file. 20060506: AFFECTS: users of PHP AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The old PHP slave ports (phpN-cli, phpN-cgi and mod_phpN) were removed in favor of unified PHP ports that allow building any combination of PHP SAPIs (cli, cgi and apache module). The PHP CGI binary was renamed to php-cgi, so you should update the path in your script. To simplify the update process, *only* for this release a 'php' compatibility symlink to php-cgi will be created if you don't select the CLI SAPI. Before the upgrade you *should* run 'make config' in lang/php4 or lang/php5 to configure the SAPIs you want to install. As a consequence the default binary packages include the CLI and the FastCGI SAPIs. 20060506: AFFECTS: users of lang/lua, editors/kile, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org Recently, the port of Lua was updated to version 5.1. This version is incompatible with the version 5.0, which is used in a number of applications, most notable in the Kile and Kate editors (the latter being part of a base KDE installation). If you're having troubles running those, such as error dialogs saying "Check your KDE installation", make sure to downgrade your lua installation back to 5.0: portupgrade -f -o lang/lua50 lua-5.1 20060501: AFFECTS: users of www/instiki AUTHOR: arsptr@optusnet.com.au The instiki port has changed storage methods to use an SQL database. The README contains instructions on how to migrate existing wiki data to the new storage methods. The following is a copy of the relevant information, tailored for FreeBSD port users: 1. cd /usr/ports/www/instiki; make extract 2. Execute ruby work/instiki-0.11.0/script/import_storage \ -t /usr/local/instiki/storage/2500 \ -i /usr/local/instiki \ -d sqlite \ -o [some location]/instiki_import.sql 3. This will produce instiki_import.sql file in the specified location. Open it in a text editor and inspect carefully. 4. Upgrade your instiki port normally (e.g. portupgrade) 5. Connect to your production database, e.g.: sqlite3 /usr/local/instiki/db/production.db.sqlite3 and have it execute instiki_import.sql, e.g.: .read [some location]/instiki_import.sql 6. Execute ruby /usr/local/instiki/script/reset_references production (this script parses all pages for crosslinks between them, so it may take a few minutes) 20060429: AFFECTS: all GNOME users AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.14. This new release does NOT require the use of the gnome_upgrade.sh script. That script should not be used. Instead, use the following simple recipe: pkgdb -Ff portupgrade -o net/avahi -f howl portupgrade -o x11/gnome-screensaver -f xscreensaver-gnome portupgrade -a 20060425: AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com ejabberd's UID and GID have changed. Users are advised to check all configuration files and data in /var/spool/ejabberd to ensure everything has the correct owner/group. 20060424: AFFECTS: users of devel/monotone AUTHOR: lapo@lapo.it Version 0.26 of monotone has many differences with past versions, there are changes in executable name, in repository and workspace format and also in the 'netsync' network protocol. A centralized "flagday" migration is needed in order to change format. Refer to ${PREFIX}/share/doc/monotone/UPGRADE for migration instructions. 20060418: AFFECTS: users of net/{ipw,iwi}-firmware AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org Some changes in the way ipw(4) and iwi(4) work lead to fundamental changes in ipw-firmware and iwi-firmware ports. Since these drivers are now using loadable kernel modules as firmware, two new ports have been created: net/ipw-firmware-kmod and net/iwi-firmware-kmod. You should not be able to install the wrong one since detection is based on your FreeBSD version. Trying to install the wrong port will result in an error message (port marked as IGNORE). 20060413: AFFECTS: users of security/tor-devel AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org The default data directory of tor-devel has been changed from /var/run/tor to /var/db/tor/data In order to keep your old server settings, you should either move the appropriate files to this directory manually, or set the tor_datadir variable accordingly in /etc/rc.conf 20060414: AFFECTS: users of www/horde, www/horde-php5, www/horde-passwd, deskutils/nag, deskutils/mnemo, deskutils/kronolith, mail/turba, mail/ingo, mail/imp, devel/chora AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com The Horde ports no longer overwrite your existing configuration files during an upgrade: if you have modified any of the files in the config directory of any of these ports, they will be left untouched when you upgrade. It is recommended that the new .dist files are examined after an upgrade and any changes merged into your existing config files if necessary. 20060408: AFFECTS: users of www/linux-flashplugin* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org These ports have been removed because the End User License Agreement explicitly forbids to run the Flash Player on FreeBSD. For more details, see http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/license/desktop/. 20060407: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula* AUTHOR: dan@langille.org bacula-server now installs two rc.d scripts, one for the Director and one for the Storage Daemon. To enable the Director at boot time, set the following in /etc/rc.conf[.local]: bacula_dir_enable="YES" To enable the Storage Daemon, set the following in rc.conf(5): bacula_sd_enable="YES" Similarly, bacula-client also installs a rcNG script. To enable the File Daemon at boot time, set the following in rc.conf(5): bacula_fd_enable="YES" The old z-bacula.sh script in PREFIX/etc/rc.d should be removed. 20060403: AFFECTS: users of databases/db* AUTHOR: swhetzel@gmail.com Most of the ports that depend on Berkeley DB have been updated to use Mk/bsd.database.mk. Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Berkeley DB, and SQLite in a port. The Berkeley DB support in Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to return the proper db* library name and location of the include and library directories of the requested version. To select a version of Berkeley DB, you can use either WITH_BDB_VER= or ${UNIQUENAME}_WITH_BDB_VER= (version is one of 3, 40, 41, 42, 43, or 44). When a port has USE_BDB defined as either 'USE_BDB=41+' or 'USE_BDB=yes', the port will use the oldest installed version of Berkeley DB. For example if both db41 and db43 are installed, the port would end up compiling with db41. If you add -DWITH_BDB_HIGHEST to your make command, the port will use highest db* instead. If no Berkeley DB is installed then the port will default to the version specified or the default Berkeley DB version (currently db41). NOTE: If a port was using a different variable to select Berkeley DB or a version, you will get an IGNORE message when you build the port. This message will tell you what you need to do. Port Maintainers please review the comments in Mk/bsd.database.mk on what variables are available for you use in your own ports. 20060331: AFFECTS: users of biology/emboss and biology/embassy AUTHOR: fernan@iib.unsam.edu.ar Since EMBOSS-3.0.0 both EMBOSS and EMBASSY install by default into $LOCALBASE/emboss to avoid conflicts with other ports. Users upgrading to 3.0.0 should take this into consideration when planning the upgrade, because it will involve moving data not installed by the port (databases) and tweaking the emboss.defaults config file. If you want to install the ports into $LOCALBASE (/usr/local, the old behavior), you can still do so by setting PREFIX manually. But you will have to take care of conflicting ports yourself. 20060330: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The genkdmconf.sh rc-script has been removed in favor of a kdm wrapper script, which now handles both launching kdm and automatically updating or generating kdm's configuration files. The actual kdm binaries have been renamed to 'kdm-bin', 'kdm-bin_config' and 'kdm-bin_greet' respectively. These changes should be mostly transparent to kdm users and require no changes to existing configurations or setups, however: The actual kdm process is now also named 'kdm-bin', so 'killall kdm' will no longer work. 20060328: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de Beginning with nut-2.0.3 the nut rcNG script only starts the ups driver and the ups daemon 'upsd'. The ups monitor 'upsmon' and the ups logger 'upslog' are now handled by separate scripts to get more control over the different services. Please take a look into the nut, nut_upslog and nut_upsmon scripts installed in ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/ for possible rc.conf values and their defaults. 20060322: AFFECTS: users of security/dazuko AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org Do not load the module using /boot/loader.conf. It generates a page fault due to a possible dazuko bug. You could use /etc/rc.local for loading the module. For example, add the following line to /etc/rc.local: /sbin/kldload dazuko 20060319: AFFECTS: users of graphics/py-exif AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org The 'exiftool' utility from py-exif has been renamed to 'py-exiftool' in order to avoid a conflict with p5-Image-ExifTool. 20060316: AFFECTS: users of textproc/docproj[-jadetex] AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org docproj now installs a set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) related stuff in case that you have chosen to install the jadetex feature. Because the CJK part could be potentially large for those who do not want it, this feature can be disabled by defining WITHOUT_CJK=yes. Please be sure to update to the latest docproj package, as an upcoming doc/share/mk change will make use of the newly added fixrtf utility. 20060315: AFFECTS: users of www/horde, mail/turba and deskutils/kronolith AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org There are several points to check in your configuration files or in your database after upgrading Horde to 3.1, Turba to 2.1 and IMP to 4.1; please read UPGRADING in their doc directories. 20060315: AFFECTS: users of net-im/jabber AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org After upgrade jabber-1.x to 1.4.4 you must to rewrite your ${PREFIX}/etc/jabber.xml based on new ${PREFIX}/etc/jabber.xml.dist installed by the port because it's not backward compatible. 20060313: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/vcdimager and security/dirmngr AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org These versions of the ports which have been installed in your system accidentally installed some malformed entries to $LOCALBASE/info/dir, which prevent them from being upgraded to the latest versions. Please remove the following entries manually from $LOCALBASE/info/dir before upgrading them to vcdimager-0.7.23_2 (and later) and dirmngr-0.9.3_2 (and later) respectively. multimedia/vcdimager - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * VCDImager: (vcdimager).

Although English, French, German, Japanese, and Korean version of the port were updated to 7.0.5 on 2006/02/21, these changes have been reverted consequently. Please update the packages installed (normal upgrading procedure by using portupgrade(1) and so on should work). I am sorry for the confusion. 20060302: AFFECTS: net-im/jabber-pyicq and net-im/jabber-pymsn AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org Port versions older than 0.7 and 0.11a respectively run as root which is an unneeded security risk. Newer versions run as as user jabber, so before starting the daemons, you should fix permissions for each spooldir (default: /var/spool/jabber): # chown -R jabber:jabber spooldir/Transport_JID 20060223: AFFECTS: all ports using libtool as part of the build process AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org The way in which ports that require libtool to build has been completely reworked to bring the ports system in line with other environments, such as Linux, and pkgsrc. devel/libtool13 no longer exists. devel/libtool15 has been modified to (a) install in the canonical locations and (b) remove a number of long-standing FreeBSD-specific patches that resulted in a very different libtool than is present on other systems. The main visible change will be that a large number of ports have had their plists modified (we now install libtool .la archives) and, as such, PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on ~2000 ports (roughly 1/7th of the tree). Unfortunately, there is no simple upgrade path. Short of removing all packages and reinstalling from scratch, the only other viable alternative would be careful use of portupgrade. Given the large number of different ways in which libtool is used by other ports in the tree, this is a process that is likely to vary considerably from system to system, and as such, folks should be very mindful of running automatic updating software, such as portupgrade, making extensive use of the -n flag (and equivalents for other updaters) to see what will actually be rebuilt, before actually performing the upgrade. The good news is that the system now in place will make the handling of libtool-using ports considerably easier going forward. 20060221: AFFECTS: users of print/acroread7 and the localized versions AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org installation directory of print/acroread7 and the slave ports have been changed to ${PREFIX}/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/${ADOBE_LANG}. ${ADOBE_LANG} is one of CHS,CHT,DAN,DEU,ENU,ESP,FRA,ITA,JPN,KOR, NLD,NOR,PTB,SUO,SVE and represents language used in the UI (FRA means French version and it is installed by french/acroread, for example). To configure the UI language, navigate to Edit->Preferences->International-> Application Language, set it to "Choose at application startup" and restart the program. The command filename is ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread as before (this is a script installed by print/acroreadwrapper now), and if multiple versions are installed, one of them will be selected according to ${ADOBE_LANG} environment variable. If ${ADOBE_LANG} is not set, it will be automatically set by using ${LANG}; this means when LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-15, ADOBE_LANG will be FRA and the French version will be invoked by ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread. You can set ADOBE_LANG manually, too. Also, if you want to activate the PDF plugin, use --install-plugin option in ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread. For more detail, see print/acroreadwrapper/pkg-message. 20060220: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.8. You should update everything depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see its manual page for details. 20060220: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment AUTHOR: vanilla@FreeBSD.org enlightenment 0.16 change binary name from 'enlightenment' to 'e16'. you should change it on your .xinit file. 20060212: AFFECTS: users of mail/dcc-dccd AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org The midnight dccm and dccifd system log message has been changed to disclose spam passed from whiteclnt-listed MX servers. MX servers should now be listed in /var/dcc/whiteclnt with lines like: mx ip 10.2.3.4 mx ip 10.5.6.0/28 mxdcc ip 10.7.8.9 "MX" marks the IP address of one of your mail systems that should be ignored in initial Received: headers and when reported by sendmail to dccm. "MXDCC" marks IP addresses of your mail systems that run DCC clients and that will have already reported mail to the DCC. Continue using "OK" whitelist entries for mail systems that you trust to never send or forward unsolicited bulk email. Allow custom DNS blacklist SMTP rejection messages. See -Bset:rej-msg=X in the dccifd and dccm man pages. 20060207: AFFECTS: users of www/jakarta-tomcat4, www/jakarta-tomcat41, www/jakarta-tomcat5, www/jakarta-tomcat55, and www/tomcat55 AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org The Tomcat ports listed above have been converted to use new-style rc scripts. In order to enable Tomcat, you must add: tomcat{4,41,5,55}_enable="YES" to your rc.conf. Select the appropriate version number for your installation. When shutting down, the rc scripts will kill the Tomcat process after a default timeout of 10 seconds. This can be changed by setting the tomcatXX_stop_timeout variable in rc.conf. Tomcat 5.5 users please note that the rc variables have changed name from jakarta_tomcat55_* to tomcat55_*. The "tomcatctl" executable is no longer installed. Please use the rc scripts to control tomcat instead. 20060202: AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2 AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org Users of expat2 (and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2 20060201: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xmbmon AUTHOR: jylefort@FreeBSD.org The tty program (mbmon) was moved into a separate port, sysutils/mbmon. 20060201: AFFECTS: users of x11/tilda AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org The configuration file syntax has changed. Users of x11/tilda must delete their old ones and re-create them. 20060131: AFFECTS: users of security/stunnel AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org Since stunnel-4.14_1, the stunnel.pem certificate generated by "make cert" is installed into /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ instead of /usr/local/etc/. 20060130: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portsnap AUTHOR: cperciva@FreeBSD.org Due to configuration file changes, users of portsnap are encouraged to copy the latest sample configuration file into place after updating portsnap to version 1.0: # cd /usr/local/etc && cp portsnap.conf.sample portsnap.conf 20060126: AFFECTS: ports that use Display Postscript libraries and xorg-libraries AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org Support for Display Postscript has been deprecated in X.Org 6.9 release and libraries and tools are no longer installed by default. If you have installed a port that complains about missing libdpstk or libpsres, you need to reinstall it so it will be build without DPS support. 20060123: AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail, mail/qmail-ldap, mail/qmail-mysql, mail/qmail-spamcontrol, mail/qmail-tls and all dependant ports. AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org If you use qmail installed on a PREFIX different of /var/qmail, please, set a var on /etc/make.conf named QMAIL_PREFIX with this value. It'll be used for many ports that depends of qmail. To prevent stale dependencies, when you use one of qmail slave ports, now you just need to set a var named QMAIL_SLAVEPORT on /etc/make.conf assigning to it the name of slave port you are using. The valid options for now are: * ldap * mysql * spamcontrol * tls 20060114: AFFECTS: users of www/apache13-ssl with suexec enabled. AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org The port has been converted to new apache framework, using bsd.apache.mk. suexec knobs have changed to WITH_SUEXEC and SUEXEC_*. See Mk/bsd.apache.mk for more details. 20060113: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/qvamps AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org Some program location pathnames have been corrected. Therefore, a new configuration file has to be generated. First, close qvamps. Then, remove the previous configuration file. Finally, start qvamps again. The configuration file can be removed with: $ rm ~/.qvamps/qvampsrc 20060112: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix, mail/postfix1, mail/postfix21, mail/postfix-current AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org Now all postfix ports use rcNG script to startup. If you have any file in etc/rc.d directory linked to sbin/postfix, please remove. Do not forget to add 'postfix_enable="YES"' in your rc.conf 20060112: AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org gnutls has been updated to 1.2.9 and all shared libraries' versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on gnutls. Do something like: portupgrade -rf gnutls 20060111: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/lxdvdrip AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org lxdvdrip has been updated to version 1.51 depending on port multimedia/vamps. However, multimedia/vamps needs to know beforehand how many bytes will be processed in order to work. Unfortunately, lxdvdrip cannot provide such information. Therefore, vamps and playcell specific tailored versions shipped within the lxdvdrip distribution will be used. They will be named so that lxdvdrip does not conflict with multimedia/vamps. This is for lxdvdrip version 1.51_1. However, users that used lxdvdrip previously to this update, are required to modify their configuration file in order to comply to the new naming scheme. File: ~/.lxdvdrip.conf From: play_cell_name=play_cell vamps_name=vamps To: play_cell_name=play_cell_lxdvdrip vamps_name=vamps_lxdvdrip 20060111: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Perforce has been updated to version 2005.2. As usual, there has been significant schema upgrades, so even though upgrading to 2005.2 is straightforward, it is still highly recommended to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.052/user/relnotes.txt 20060110: AFFECTS: users of www/drupal AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from PREFIX/www/data/drupal to PREFIX/www/drupal. Users who want to use the old location can set the DRUPDIR variable to www/data/drupal. 20060109: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-server AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org All postgresql versions have been updated. These patch releases fix a problem with character string comparisons for locales that consider different character combinations as equal, such as Hungarian. This might require "REINDEX" to fix existing indexes on textual columns. Also, if plperl is used, a "REINDEX" might be required under certain conditions. Check the HISTORY file in the source for details. 20060108: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3, deskutils/superkaramba, x11-themes/kde-windeco-smoothblend, irc/kvirc, editors/vimpart AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org A number of files have been moved from kdebase to kdelibs between KDE 3.4.3 and KDE 3.5.0 and some applications which used to be distributed separately from KDE have been included in the release. This means that you will have to take some precautions in order to update your KDE installation without interruptions. We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo). 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdebase-\[0-9\]\* superkaramba-\[0-9\]\* \ kde-windeco-smoothblend-\[0-9]\* kvirc-\[0-9\]\* \ kdeaddons-vimpart-\[0-9\]\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdebase Superkaramba is now included in misc/kdeutils3. The smoothblend window decoration is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3. Vimpart is being discontinued and no longer part of KDE. KNOWN ISSUES: ============= Just like KDE 3.4, KDE 3.5 does not play nice with openssl-0.9.8. In particular it breaks kwallet, some of the SSL handling in konqueror and SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact. If you're using the openssl ports rather than the base-system openssl, make sure to use security/openssl-stable. You can put WITH_OPENSSL_STABLE=yes into /etc/make.conf to automatically make ports depend on that rather than on security/openssl. FreeBSD 4.x users MUST install openssl-stable even if the base openssl is present for SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact to work. Unfortunately, the kdepim3 port cannot depend on it automatically due to shortcomings/bugs in ports-collection's openssl infrastructure. 20060106: AFFECTS: users of deskutils/kronolith <= 2.0.6 with MCAL backend AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org Beginning with release 2.1, the support of MCAL will be removed from Kronolith. To prepare your migration, you can already switch to a SQL back-end, with the script provided at /usr/local/www/horde/kronolith/scripts/migrate_to_sql_driver.php. 20060105: AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail >= 6.3.0 AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org Beginning with release 6.3.0, fetchmail not only needs write access to the idfile ($HOME/.fetchids), but also to the directory holding this file. For end users running fetchmail with default idfile on their own account, nothing changes: they have write access to their home directory. 20060105: AFFECTS: users of www/wwwoffle, security/ipsec-tools AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org The startup of the rc.d scripts for these two ports are now by default disabled. 20051228: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/tovid AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org tovid shell scripts relies heavily on bash(1) but the previous port version tried to use sh(1). However, since there were too many complications, the port now depends on shells/bash. Due to this change, the configuration files need to be regenerated. Please, erase all previous configuration files. The configuration file samples will be generated on the 1st invocation of the scripts: $ rm ~/.tovid/* 20051228: AFFECTS: users of shells/scponly AUTHOR: rushani@FreeBSD.org From scponly 4.2, scp & WinSCP compatibilities are not enabled by default. To enable those compatibilities, define WITH_SCPONLY_SCP and/or WITH_SCPONLY_WINSCP, respectively. 20051225: AFFECTS: users of p5-libapreq2 AUTHOR: vanilla@FreeBSD.org libapreq2 can be pure c library, I believe some people need pure c library, but hate mod_perl, so I split it to 2 ports, and set libapreq2 as p5-libapreq2's master ports. If you need pure library of libapreq2, install www/libapreq2. If you like mod_perl & enjoy p5-libapreq2, install/www/p5-libapreq2. 20051213: AFFECTS: users of pear ports AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org A few old pear ports have been removed from the tree in favor of a single devel/pear port. If portupgrade complains about missing ports, you may safely remove pear-XML_RPC, pear-Console_Getopt, pear-Archive_Tar and php[45]-pear and then run: portupgrade -o devel/pear -f pear-PEAR 20051212: AFFECTS: users of net/ntop AUTHOR: wxs@csh.rit.edu ntop now installs a rcNG script. It also logs to syslog by default. To enable ntop at boot time, set the following in rc.conf(5): ntop_enable="YES" 20051210: AFFECTS: users of net/mldonkey-devel AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org MLDonkey port net/mldonkey-devel has been patched to work with the updated lang/ocaml version 3.09. As a result, ocaml 3.09 is now a requirement. You have to follow the instructions for updating your complete ocaml installation outlined below on 20051201 by burelle@lri.fr. If you use the command below, everything should be fine. $ portupgrade -fr 'ocaml*' 'mldonkey-*devel*' 20051210: AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail using SSL encryption AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org Fetchmail now checks the validity of server certificates and complains verbosely in maillog if the validation fails. If your mail server's certificate is not signed by one of the root authorities, you have to manually configure them using the following steps: * Download the necessary certificates in PEM format and store them at a suitable location, e.g. /home/user/.certs * Run the c_rehash tool on the freshly installed certificates: - If you are using OpenSSL from the base system (this is the default) use the following command: % perl /usr/src/crypto/openssl/tools/c_rehash /home/user/.certs - If you are using OpenSSL from security/openssl please use command: % c_rehash /home/user/.certs * Use the following options to enable SSL encryption in your .fetchmailrc configuration file: options ssl sslcertpath /home/user/.certs sslcertck sslfingerprint '< fingerprint >' < other options > 20051208: AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent and net/py-bittorrent-core AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org Developer renamed most BitTorrent command line scripts: * btdownloadgui.py -> bittorrent.py * btdownloadheadless.py -> bittorrent-console.py * btdownloadcurses.py -> bittorrent-curses.py * btmaketorrentgui.py -> maketorrent.py * btmaketorrent.py -> maketorrent-console.py * btlaunchmany.py -> launchmany-console.py * btlaunchmanycurses.py -> launchmany-curses.py * bttrack.py -> bittorrent-tracker.py * btreannounce.py -> changetracker-console.py * btrename.py has been REMOVED, use maketorrent*.py * btshowmetainfo.py -> torrentinfo-console.py Check http://www.bittorrent.com/bittorrent_versions.html 20051207: AFFECTS: users of {japanese,chinese,korean}/FreeWnn-* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org {ja,zh,ko}-FreeWnn-server now use the new rc.subr(8) framework for their startup script. Note that to invoke each Wnn daemon at boot time you have to set the following variables in rc.conf(5) respectively: wnn_enable kwnn_enable twnn_enable cwnn_enable 20051203: AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org www/apache2 port directory was renamed to www/apache20 to keep consistency with other apache ports. 20051203: AFFECTS: users of www/apache22 and any web apps porters AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org www/apache22 stop supporting ${LOCALBASE}/www/(data|error|cgi)(|-dist) directory layout in favor of ${LOCALBASE}/www/apache22/(data|error|cgi). FYI, ports layout may change soon. 20051202: AFFECTS: users of www/plone and cmf oriented zope modules AUTHOR: filippo.natali@gmail.com www/plone has been updated to the latest 2.1.1 version. Some zope modules are unfortunately incompatible with this version of plone. 20051202: AFFECTS: users of security/racoon and security/ipsec-tools AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org security/racoon has been removed. You should migrate to its replacement, security/ipsec-tools. No configuration changes will be required. The default configuration file location has changed for ipsec-tools. You will need to move your racoon configuration files to the new location /usr/local/etc/racoon. Alternatively, add this line in rc.conf to continue using the old location: racoon_flags="-f /usr/local/etc" 20051201: AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml AUTHOR: burelle@lri.fr Upgrade to 3.09.0 will break binary compatibility at link time, so any library build with old versions should be rebuild in order to be usable (standalone binaries do not require rebuild since they are statically linked.) 20051129: AFFECTS: users of devel/monotone AUTHOR: lapo@lapo.it Keys are now stored in ~/.monotone/keys/. You must run 'db migrate' against each of your databases; this will automatically migrate the keys. Command line syntax for 'serve' has changed; please adjust startup scripts accordingly. See /usr/local/share/doc/monotone/NEWS for details. 20051123: AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org A change has been committed against www/lighttpd, which flips the meaning of the IPV6 option to match other ports, along with the 1.4.7 upgrade. If you have previously saved configuration that checks the IPV6 option (meaning to disable IPv6), then you will have to rerun the configuration with ``make config''. The default setting for IPV6 build is kept, which was enabled by default. 20051113: AFFECTS: users of x11/xterm, x11/xorg-clients, x11/XFree86-4-clients AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org Xterm no longer installs with '-static' prefix. Users should upgrade XFree86-clients to 4.5.0_1 or xorg-clients to 6.8.2_1 or newer before attempting upgrade of xterm to 206_1 or newer. Previous versions remove xterm on deinstall so CONFLICTS have been set accordingly. 20051105: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt33 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If the compilation of qt fails due to uic segfaulting (example: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.5/bin/uic -L /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.5/plugins listboxeditor.ui -i listboxeditor.h -o listboxeditor.cpp *** Signal 11) delete your old .qt directories: rm -r ~/.qt /root/.qt 20051105: AFFECTS: all users of gnome/glib/gtk AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.12 and gtk/glib to 2.8. DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update your ports. Instead, use the gnome_upgrade.sh script from http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh 20051104: AFFECTS: users of www/trac AUTHOR: rui@ruilopes.com The Trac database schema was changed between versions 0.8 and 0.9. This port also started to use PySQLite 2 (SQLite 3). Existing environments must be upgraded before they can be used with Trac 0.9. The canonical update procedure for existing trac environments is: $ export TRAC_ENV=/path/to/trac/env $ # backup existing trac environment $ cp -Rp $TRAC_ENV $TRAC_ENV.backup # backup existing trac env $ # convert database from sqlite 2 to sqlite 3 format $ mv $TRAC_ENV/db/trac.db $TRAC_ENV/db/trac2.db $ sqlite $TRAC_ENV/db/trac2.db .dump | sqlite3 $TRAC_ENV/db/trac.db $ # upgrade trac environment $ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV upgrade $ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV resync $ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV wiki upgrade Consult the full upgrade instructions at: http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracUpgrade 20051013: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org www/mediawiki has now version 1.5. 1.4 version was preserved on www/mediawiki14 port. If you want to preserve your 1.4 installation, run this: # portupgrade -o www/mediawiki14 -f mediawiki 20051013: AFFECTS: users of mail/qmrtg AUTHOR: mij@bitchx.it Version 2.x marks a new generation for qmrtg and is no longer compatible with configuration files from old releases. Upgrading to 2.x version *requires* qmrtg (and possibly mrtg) configuration files to be adjusted manually starting from the .dist file included. 20051011: AFFECTS: users of www/amphetadesk AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org www/amphetadesk can only be ran under a user with a valid home directory since it stores its configuration information there. 20051010: AFFECTS: users of games/py-slune AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org games/py-slune has been removed to add in games/slune to reflect right name. 20051010: AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The Ant launcher script now uses javavmwrapper to pick a suitable JDK. Hence it is no longer needed to define JAVA_HOME for Ant to run. You may rather use and combination of JAVA_VERSION, JAVA_OS and JAVA_VENDOR. See javavm(1) for further information. However, you may still override this behavior using JAVACMD. The ANT_INCLUDE_SHARED_JARS variable used to be effective only when set to "YES" (case sensitive). It is now a defined/undefined switch and thus will be effective if defined, regardless of its value. 20051009: AFFECTS: users of games/py-balazar AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org games/py-balazar has been removed to add in games/balazar to reflect right name. 20051008: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/rdiff-backup, rdiff-backup-devel AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org sysutils/rdiff-backup has been upgraded to version 1.0.1. This version is incompatible with the previous version. Users of rdiff-backup will need to redo their initial seed. rdiff-backup-devel has been removed. Users of rdiff-backup-devel should now use rdiff-backup instead. In this case there is no need to redo the initial seed. 20051006: AFFECTS: users of net/smokeping AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Smokeping has undergone a major upgrade to version 2.0.3. If you are upgrading from versions 1.x, the manpage 'smokeping_upgrade' may be of help. To verify the configuration file syntax, run 'smokeping --check'. 20051005: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/devilspie AUTHOR: jylefort@FreeBSD.org The configuration file format has changed. See /usr/X11R6/share/doc/devilspie/README for more details. 20051002: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/py-wxPython26 wxPython 2.6 has been split into py-wxPython26, py-wxPython26-unicode and py-wxPython26-common. Everyone should update to the new structure. # remove previous installation 1) pkg_delete 'py24-wxPython*2.6*' # update to new version 2) cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-wxPython26 3) make install clean 20050927: AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot AUTHOR: robin@isometry.net Dovecot has been upgraded to version 1.0a3 that breaks down backward compatibility with previous versions of dovecot. For information about upgrading existing dovecot installations one must consult with http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/UpgradingDovecot 20050923: AFFECTS: users of www/b2evo AUTHOR: chinsan.tw@gmail.com Database schema changed. Rerun the installation script, which can usually be found at http://your.site.com/b2evo/blogs/install 20050911: AFFECTS: users of mail/libspf2, mail/postfix, mail/postfix21, mail/postfix-policyd-spf, mail/exim AUTHOR: marcus@corp.grupos.com.br Now version 1.0.4 of libspf2 has repo copied from mail/libspf2 to mail/libspf2-10 and mail/libspf2 has updated to 1.2.5. mail/exim depends on mail/libspf2 and mail/postfix, mail/postfix21 and mail/postfix-policyd-spf depends on mail/libspf2-10. 20050907: AFFECTS: users of databases/metakit AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org The metakit build now enables python support by default. Everybody who was happy with their python-less metakit should begin specifying METAKIT_WITHOUT_PYTHON=yes on build. 20050904: AFFECTS: users of games/pvpgn AUTHOR: mek@mek.uz.ua sql_DB_layout.conf-sample: includes changes needed for the new "username" SQL field; if you update to 1.7.8 YOU MUST update this file too if you have your accounts on SQL bnetd.conf-sample: changed "servaddrs" directive to not be totally commented and be as ":" by default in bnetd.conf (if "servaddrs" is commented this means "bnetd" will not listen for b.net services at all) 20050902: AFFECTS: users of www/jakarta-tomcat55 AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The port installs a new RCng startup script which no longer uses tomcat55ctl to control the Tomcat daemon. Furthermore, the behavior of Tomcat may be configured through switches and variables from /etc/rc.conf. They are documented in the header of the RCng script: ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/jakarta-tomcat55.sh 20050902: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current AUTHOR: marcus@corp.grupos.com.br Now mail/postfix-current use OPTIONS menu instead of POSTFIX_OPTIONS batch. Please run "make config" and select your options in menu. 20050828: AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent-devel and net/py-bittorrent-core-devel AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org Developer renamed most BitTorrent command line scripts: * btdownloadgui.py -> bittorrent.py * btdownloadheadless.py -> bittorrent-console.py * btdownloadcurses.py -> bittorrent-curses.py * btmaketorrentgui.py -> maketorrent.py * btmaketorrent.py -> maketorrent-console.py * btlaunchmany.py -> launchmany-console.py * btlaunchmanycurses.py -> launchmany-curses.py * bttrack.py -> bittorrent-tracker.py * btreannounce.py -> changetracker-console.py * btrename.py has been REMOVED, use maketorrent*.py * btshowmetainfo.py -> torrentinfo-console.py Check http://www.bittorrent.com/bittorrent_versions.html 20050804: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/kdeadmin3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org One data file has been moved from kdeadmin to kdelibs between KDE 3.4.1 and KDE 3.4.2. This means that *********if you currently have the kdeadmin port installed********* you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo). 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdeadmin-\[0-9\]\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdeadmin 20050728: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/sge and sysutils/sgeee AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org A port of SGE 6 has been installed in sysutils/sge. SGE 6 is significantly different from SGE 5 and an upgrade is only possible by removing the SGE 5 install and replacing it. The SGE vs SGEEE distinction has been removed in SGE 6 so the sgeee port was removed. The sge and sgeee ports were repo copied to sge53 and sgeee53 respectively and existing installations may continue to use them. 20050727: AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird-server AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org Changes in layout: * database directory has changed from /usr/local/firebird to /var/db/firebird * configuration files are placed in /usr/local/etc/firebird * common utilities have been moved to /usr/local/bin * suid-ed binaries have been moved to /usr/local/sbin Update inetd.conf/xinetd.conf to reflect new location of "fb_inet_server". 20050722: AFFECTS: all RELENG_6 and HEAD users of ports/packages, maintainers of ports that interact with the compat libraries. AUTHOR: kensmith@FreeBSD.org The shared library version number of all shared libraries built as part of the baseline system has been incremented in both RELENG_6 and HEAD. The overall goal is to make handling of the compat library infrastructure easier. Each new release branch will have different version numbers for all of the shared libraries and the compat ports can simply include all of the shared libraries from the previous release. If you update your system using normal cvsup/rebuild/reinstall mechanisms the old versions of the libraries will still be on your system so your old ports executables will continue to work. But you definitely should plan on recompiling and reinstalling all of your installed ports so they get relinked against the new libraries. If you don't take this step as time goes on "normal" updates and installs run the risk of having executables relying on both the new and old versions of the libraries which would cause big problems. It will take some time for the pre-built packages available on the FTP mirror sites to be rebuilt against the new libraries. If you want to update your ports using the pre-built packages watch the mailing lists for when the rebuilt packages become available. 20050710: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt33, x11/kdelibs3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you have compiled qt33 with the KDE_OPTIONS option checked (if your installed qt-package is called qt-copy-3.3.4 instead of qt-3.3.4, check with pkg_info), you should cvsup and recompile qt33 and everything depending on it: portupgrade -rf qt\* Previous versions of the qt33 port contained a patch that introduces binary incompatibility between unpatched qt33 and software compiled against a patched qt33. Symptoms of the binary incompatibility: Unresolved symbol warnings from various KDE/Qt applications (both during runtime or compiling/linking), "Could not start kdeinit" dialogs during KDE startup, kicker crashes during exiting KDE. 20050630: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org Due to several complaints, new (unsupported) option had been added to port Makefile: WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT. Starting with version 7667, NVidia has dropped support for numerous "legacy" GPUs, while this option allows to go with previous version of driver (this does not apply to older versions of FreeBSD, since you have to use version 6113 of driver (if you did not yet upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 or later) which has support for those GPUs). If you must use WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option, be sure to ``hold'' the package by making appropriate entry in your pkgtools.conf, otherwise portupgrade(1) will upgrade your port to latest NVidia release on the next run, which is probably not what you want. Refer to x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile for further details. 20050625: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de nut now installs a rcNG script for starting the Network UPS Tools daemons. To enable that at boot time, add the following into /etc/rc.conf[.local]: nut_enable="YES" 20050624: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.7. You should update everything depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see its manual page for details. 20050622: AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd-* AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org ProFTPd binary moved from ${PREFIX}/libexec to ${PREFIX}/sbin. People using proftpd with inetd must use ${PREFIX}/sbin/in.proftpd (or ${PREFIX}/sbin/proftpd which is just the same). Read the commit log and diffs for more information. 20050621: AFFECTS: users of net/cacti AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org Because of users need to keep their DB configuration but config.php can't be saved on upgrading, I've moved DB settings in db-settings.php. So, you need to change db-settings.php and do not touch config.php anymore. 20050618: AFFECTS: users of alternate linux_base ports AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port. Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}). 20050610: AFFECTS: users of ftp/wget built with SSL (default) AUTHOR: sf@FreeBSD.org wget 1.10 now authenticates certificate of remote host before making a SSL connection. To make it work, you should have working CA root certificates list in /etc/ssl/cert.pem. If you don't have it there are options: a) install security/ca-roots port and you have done. b) install ftp/curl port and symlink it to /etc/ssl/cert.pem. ln -s /usr/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/cert.pem c) put your favorite one into certain place. 20050601: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Upgrading to 2005.1 is straightforward, but it is highly recommended to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.051/user/relnotes.txt 20050526: AFFECTS: users of mail/sylpheed-claws AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org Sylpheed-claws is updated to the GTK2 version now. This results in a new configuration directory. To keep your configuration from the GTK1 version you can cp -rp ~/.sylpheed .sylpheed-gtk2 before starting the GTK2 version for the first time, or cp -Rp ~/.sylpheed .sylpheed-gtk2/ when you have run the GTK2 version already. 20050524: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mpeg4ip and multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org Starting with version 1.3 mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installs libmp4av that mpeg4ip previously installed. It is advised to de-install mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and mpeg4ip before updating to mpeg4ip-1.3 or mpeg4ip-libmp4v2-1.3. If you have already updated mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and mpeg4ip you should deinstall mpeg4ip and reinstall mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 before updating mpeg4ip. This does not affect users who just have mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installed and not mpeg4ip. 20050523: AFFECTS: users of games/pvpgn AUTHOR: mek@mek.uz.ua The following has been changed in the bnetd.conf file (starting with version 1.7.7): - The old config variable `servername' has been renamed to `hostname'. - A new `servername' config variable has been introduced for server identification. 20050519: AFFECTS: users of www/squid AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de Starting with 2.5.10, the cachemgr.cgi program uses a configuration file cachemgr.conf to control which hosts this program is allowed to manage. To prevent abuse, the configuration defaults to "localhost" only. Please see cachemgr.cgi(8) for further details. 20050517: AFFECTS: users of www/mod_perl2 and all ports depending on it AUTHOR: lars.eggert@gmx.net. API changed for mod_perl2 -- existing code will break! The mod_perl2 developers have significantly changed the API in release candidate 2.0.0-RC5. These changes include changed names for core packages, causing software that uses the old API to fail with the new version. You need to update your code as described in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html 20050517: AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird AUTHOR: freebsd@galle.com.br The port was split into a -server and -client parts. The -server contains server binary, UDFs, and install all in ${PREFIX}/firebird. The -client contains libs, includes, client binaries, docs and examples. For migration delete the firebird port and install the -server and/or -client port afterwards. 20050512: AFFECTS: users of devel/svk AUTHOR: rafan@infor.org Since SVK 0.30, it is fast enough and PPerl causes some problems. Thus, the SVK port no longer supports WITH_PPERL knob. If you still want to use PPerl with it, please go and read: http://svk.elixus.org/?SVKAndPPerl for details. 20050511: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg{,-devel} AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org The latest FreeBSD CVS snapshot has been committed under multimedia/ffmepg-devel. In order to build it, you need to deinstall any ffmpeg ports first: # pkg_deinstall multimedia/ffmpeg Furthermore, video capture is no longer working in the latest version. Work is been done to overcome this. 20050511: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|contrib) AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The PostgreSQL ports have been updated to latest versions. A security problem in the template database requires a simple SQL command to be run on each database. Because these problems are really incorrect system catalog entries, updating to a new release will NOT by itself solve the problems in an existing installation. See http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315 for details. 20050501: AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml based applications and libraries AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org With the recent update of ocaml to 3.08.3 some API compatibility has been broken. It is a bit subtle so that some users might not notice it. However, updating all ocaml based applications and libraries are advised using the new compiler/interpreter version. Issue the following command: # portupgrade -rf 'ocaml*' 20050426: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-authlib AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org mail/courier-authlib has been moved to security/courier-authlib and is now only a meta-port. Installing the meta-port installs security/ courier-authlib-base and no, one or more sub-ports regarding to what authentication methods you've chosen. Courier-authlib-base only provides you authentication via PAM. All ports depending on courier- authlib (at the time of writing, courier-imap, sqwebmail and maildrop) giving you the same choice the meta-port provides you. 20050421: AFFECTS: users of www/opera-devel AUTHOR: avleeuwen@piwebs.com Opera 8.0 final has been released and can be installed via the www/opera port. The opera-devel port is now deprecated. If you want to continue using the personal settings you used with www/opera-devel, issue this command: # mv ~/.opera-devel ~/.opera 20050421: AFFECTS: users of www/opera AUTHOR: avleeuwen@piwebs.com Opera has been updated to 8.0. If are upgrading from version 7.x or below, it is recommended that you backup your personal ~/.opera directory and remove it, like this: # cp -Rp ~/.opera ~/.opera-bak # rm -rf ~/.opera After that, you can put your bookmarks, email, contacts, etc. back in ~/.opera/. The most important files are your bookmarks (~/.opera/opera6.adr) and your emails (~/.opera/mail). It is not a good idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini, pluginpath.ini and other non-personal stuff back in ~/.opera/. If you need custom settings, reconfigure Opera from the Preferences pane or edit the files by hand. 20050420: AFFECTS: users of www/ipython AUTHOR: dryice@liu.com.cn There are backward-incompatible changes for pysh: 1. You must update your pysh profile (~/.ipython/ipythonrc-pysh): a) Add to it the line: import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec b) Delete the line: execfile pysh.py 2. You must also delete from ~/.ipython/ the file pysh.py. 20050419: AFFECTS: users of www/linux-opera AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org Opera has been updated to 8.0. If you are upgrade from version 7.x or below, it is recommended for you to backup your personal ~/.linux-opera directory and remove it. It can be done following from the command line: # cp -Rp ~/.linux-opera ~/.linux-opera-bak # rm -rf ~/.linux-opera After that, you can put your bookmark, email, contacts and etc back in ~/.linux-opera/. The bookmark is ~/.linux-opera/opera6.adr and the email is ~/.linux-opera/mail as you can figure out by view in ~/.linux-opera/. It is probably not good idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini, pluginpath.ini and other non-personal stuff back in ~/.linux-opera/. The non-personal stuff should be re-configure on new stuff by either Opera preferences in GUI or hand (manual) in your editor. 20050415: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/cricket AUTHOR: ijliao@FreeBSD.org As of 2004/11/09 cricket uses a separate user "wwwadm". If you upgrade your installation, make sure you chown your existing data. 20050414: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The PostgreSQL ports are updated to 8.0.2. All shared libraries' versions have been bumped, so you will need to recompile all client applications that depend on libpq.so. The recommended way to upgrade from 8.0.x would be something like portupgrade -rf postgresql-client 20050413: AFFECTS: users of mail/spamd AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org spamd now installs a rcNG script for starting the OpenBSD pf spamd daemon. To enable that at boot time, add the following into /etc/rc.conf[.local]: pfspamd_enable="YES" 20050413: AFFECTS: users of www/quixote AUTHOR: dryice@liu.com.cn There are backward-incompatible changes upgrading from 1.2 to 2.0. Including renaming quixote.form to quixote.form1 and quixote.form2 to quixote.form. Please refer to upgrading.txt in the docs dir for detail. 20050411: AFFECTS: users of x11/gdm AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org GDM now installs a rcNG script for starting the gdm daemon. To enable that gdm starts a boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf: gdm_enable="YES" 20050406: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql50-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default: /var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable. In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency. 20050403: AFFECTS: users of net/tac_plus4 AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Tac_plus4 now installs an rcNG script for starting the tac_plus daemon. To enable tac_plus to start at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf: tac_plus_enable="YES" You can also pass flags to tac_plus by setting the rc.conf variable tac_plus_flags. The default flags are "-C ${PREFIX}/etc/tac_plus.conf". Additionally, the default version of IOS for tac_plus has been changed from 11.x to 12.x. 20050324: AFFECTS: users of net/mDNSResponder AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org In mDNSResponder 98_1, mdnsd is no longer started by default due to a switch to an rc.subr startup script. To start it, you must add add mdnsd_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf or other suitable configuration file. 20050320: AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3, x11-themes/kdeartwork3, www/akregator, x11-themes/phase, multimedia/kdemultimedia3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org In KDE 3.4, a number of files were moved between ports, some ports were added, one port has been removed and some applications formerly available in their own ports were incorporated into KDE. This means that you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work. Portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic behavior and crashes from applications launched until you log out and back in. 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdeartwork-\[0-9\]\* kdebase-\[0-9\]\* \ kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-\[0-9\]\* kdewebdev-\[0-9\]\* \ kde-\[0-9\]\* akregator\* phase\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdebase kdeartwork kdewebdev Changes in detail: - www/akregator is now included into deskutils/kdepim3. - x11-themes/phase is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3. - www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated into x11/kdebase3. - Juk has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now available as audio/juk. - Akode has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now available as audio/akode and audio/akode-plugins-*. Akode is also a default dependency of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 now. - audio/mpeglib_artsplug has been demoted to legacy status and is no longer the default decoder backend for kdemultimedia3. It's also not depended on by kdemultimedia3 by default anymore. Known post-updating issues: - If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update: rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc Then log out of KDE and back in again (also see http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.php#q16). - kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc. You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations by running (as root or with sudo) genkdmconf Make sure to backup your old kdm configuration (usually found in /usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an invalid configuration. Especially note that kdm does not use the Xservers file anymore. A genkdmconf run will merge its contents into kdmrc. Extensive information about changes and new features of KDE 3.4 can be found at http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.4-features.html. Bugs can be reported at http://bugs.kde.org. 20050320: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portsnap AUTHOR: cperciva@FreeBSD.org As a result of shifting from SHA-1 to SHA-256, the structure of portsnap's configuration file and compressed snapshot have both changed. After upgrading to portsnap 0.9, you will have to update your configuration file ($PREFIX/etc/portsnap.conf) and delete your existing portsnap compressed snapshot: # cd /usr/local/etc && cp portsnap.conf.sample portsnap.conf # rm -r /usr/local/portsnap/* In addition, be aware that the next runs of "portsnap fetch" and "portsnap update" will take far longer than usual, since they will need to download and extract a complete copy of the ports tree. 20050319: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7[34]-server AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The startup script has been merged from 8.0 to 7.3 and 7.4. Hence, to start the PostgreSQL server at boot time (regardless of version), add the following to /etc/rc.conf: postgresql_enable=yes 20050318: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/blackbox, x11-wm/boxtools, x11-wm/bbkeys, and x11-wm/bbpager AUTHOR: A.J.Caines@halplant.com The new blackbox ports include several changes to use and configuration. Please read the pkg-message files in the respective ports for details. 20050315: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql323-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The MySQL daemon must now be enabled/disabled in rc.conf. The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default: /var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable. See the script for details. 20050314: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql40-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default: /var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable. In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency. 20050313: AFFECTS: users of games/netpanzerdata, games/netpanzer AUTHOR: mad@madpilot.net The netpanzerdata port has changed it's name to netpanzer-data, so before installing the new one you will need to remove the old netpanzerdata-0.1.3 port. 20050312: AFFECTS: all users who have glib/gtk/gnome libraries installed AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org and the FreeBSD GNOME team Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6. DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade will cause problems and you will have to manually upgrade ports. Please use the gnome_upgrade.sh script from http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh 20050309: AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop AUTHOR: sergei@FreeBSD.org maildrop has been recently upgraded to 1.8.0. This version has the following changes: - Maildir quota is now enabled by default. The following options were deleted: - WITH_MAILDIRQUOTA - WITH_TRASHQUOTA - New option WITH_AUTHLIB is added, which provides optional support for Courier Auth Library (mail/courier-authlib port). - Userdb authentication, LDAP and MySQL support are provided through courier-authlib now, thus the following options - WITH_USERDB - WITH_LDAP - WITH_MYSQL have been superseded by WITH_AUTHLIB. 20050306: AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org ploticus is now installed as bin/ploticus rather than bin/pl to avoid useless conflicts with other ports. 20050303: AFFECTS: users of net/i2p AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org The newest i2p version 0.5.0.1 is incompatible with all previous versions. Follow these procedures if you are updating from a previous port version. You can ignore these if you are installing i2p for the first time. 1) Update i2p port to the new one 2) Use the i2prouter script to uninstall i2p from user account. You are going to lose all your configuration: $ i2prouter uninstall 3) Install the new i2p version: $ i2prouter install 20050301: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ganglia-monitor-core AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org With the move to Ganglia 3.0.0, the configuration file for gmond has changed completely. The -r or --convert options may be used to emit a file in the new format given one in the old. Startup is now controlled by an RC_SUBR script so the gmond_enable and gmetad_enable variables will need to be set for gmond and gmetad to be started. Existing gmond.sh and gmetad.sh scripts in PREFIX/etc/rc.d should be removed. Due to a bug in ganglia's build process, the previous version may need to be removed before ganglia can be upgraded. 20050224: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby18 and any apps that depend on ruby18 AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The theads support has been disabled again. It causes the more trouble, so it now builds with ${PTHREAD_CFLAGS} and ${PTHREAD_LIBS}. It is recommend you to rebuild any apps that depend on lang/ruby18. Do something like this: portupgrade -rf ruby-1.8.2\* 20050224: AFFECTS: users of www/apache21 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org When upgrading from 2.1.2, you need to rebuild all apache modules. 20050215: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql41-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default: /var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable. In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency. 20050214: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios AUTHOR: blaz@si.FreeBSD.org Nagios has been upgraded to 2.0.b2. Native support for storing various types of data (status, retention, comment, downtime, etc.) in MySQL and PostgreSQL has been dropped. There are also multiple changes to the format of configuration files. Carefully read http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html before upgrading. 20050213: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX-* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org print/teTeX-* are now based on teTeX 3.0. Although some reliability fixes are also added, here are several common problems which you might fall on. 1) $PREFIX/bin/pdftex is missing: Probably your system has old files included teTeX 2.x which can prevent the new version from working. Please remove the old files first (see entry 20050206 in this file) and reinstall. 2) Some formats are still corrupted (for example, "Fatal format file error; I'm stymied" is displayed) or not updated even after a clean install: You might have old or corrupted *.fmt and/or *.map files under /root/.texmf-* or $HOME/.texmf-* directories. Typically these directories are generated when you invoke the updmap(1), texconfig(1), or fmtutil(1) utility manually. However, for a period after the first revision of the teTeX-base port erroneously used fmtutil(1) to regenerate *.fmt files, you could have these directories without your intent. In such a case, please remove these directories and reinstall the ports (it is not needed to rebuild ports/packages). Just for your information, $HOME/.texmf-config and $HOME/.texmf-var can be used for your personal configuration. If you have other problems, please contact hrs@FreeBSD.org. 20050212: AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/mkbold, x11-fonts/mkitalic, and x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic AUTHOR: koma2@ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp The dependency on x11-fonts/mkbold and x11-fonts/mkitalic has been switched over to x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, which is written in C and has far better performance than the old ones. There is no functional difference between the two, but they will conflict with each other. Since other ports which depend on x11-fonts/mkbold or x11-fonts/mkitalic will be updated to depend on x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, you might get an error during upgrading such ports. In such a case, please pkg_delete the old ones first. 20050206: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX and japanese/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org print/teTeX is now based on a teTeX 3.0 release candidate (2.99.13.20050204) and the other related ports are also updated. Since upgrading from previous versions should be done at a time, you may want to use the portupgrade utility or reinstall print/teTeX after deinstalling all of the related ports. If your teTeX environment became broken during the upgrade, please see the following URL which explains how to fix it. http://people.freebsd.org/~hrs/tetex-upgrade.txt This file also includes notes for people who are familiar with the teTeX distribution to explain structure of the ports. 20050205: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby16_r, lang/ruby18_r, and lang/ruby18 AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been dropped and lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been removed, since no one seems to appreciate the partially working solution. Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled by default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is linked with libpthread. This will allow threaded extension libraries to run and work properly on those systems. 20050201: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5 has been updated to 5.6.2, and lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.6. You should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl installation (use either lang/perl5 or lang/perl5.8, the latter being recommended); * for FreeBSD 4.X, run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.6 or 5.6.2; this step is not needed on FreeBSD 5.X and FreeBSD -CURRENT; * run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like: portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5\* | tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.[68].[1245] -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //') | sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards by hand. 20050130: AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org Each of the PostgreSQL ports have been split into a server and a client part. Please use postgresqlNN-server and/or postgresqlNN-client as needed. Versions currently supported are 7.3, 7.4 and 8.0. To start the PostgreSQL server at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf: postgresql_enable=yes The maintenance script is installed in etc/periodic/daily, and is controlled by a set of new knobs in periodic.conf. Use it for vacuuming your databases and get daily backups. Note that daily vacuuming is on by default. See the script for details. 20050130: AFFECTS: users of net/howl AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Howl now installs an rcNG script for starting mDNSResponder. To enable mDNSResponder to start at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf: mdnsresponder_enable="YES" You can also pass flags to mDNSResponder by setting the rc.conf variable mdnsresponder_flags to the appropriate value. See the mDNSResponder(8) man page for the list of supported flags. The default is not to pass any flags to mDNSResponder. 20050126: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4 AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org If you use Xorg 6.8.1: Make sure there is an /tmp/.ICE-unix with propper rights. For further informations about that, please refer to 20041229 Please update all your plugins as well when you update from 4.0.6 to 4.2 They all need recompiling to link against the new xfce libraries 20050122: AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL AUTHOR: seanc@FreeBSD.org The -devel port has been updated to contain 8.0 release since postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about tracking ports and if used in production, update to databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No dump/reload will be required when changing from -devel to postgresql80-server. 20050117: AFFECTS: users of mail/spambnc AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org The SpamBouncer has been upgraded from version 1.9 to 2.0-RC3, and you have to modify your ~/.procmailrc files. Please read upgrading.html in /usr/local/share/doc/spambnc. 20050117: AFFECTS: users of cad/astk-client AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org ASTK has been moved; if there exists files $HOME/.astkrc/config_serveurs, you have to update the entry rep_serv from /usr/local/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/bin to /usr/local/aster/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/bin (or you can remove $HOME/.astkrc). 20050114: AFFECTS: users of security/libgnomesu, esp. on FreeBSD 4.x. AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org If you installed libgnomesu the day it was added to the ports tree, you have a malformed PAM control file in /etc/pam.d/. All libgnomesu users should remove /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam, and 5.x users should replace it with the version in the updated libgnomesu port (ensure that you're using the most current revision of the libgnomesu port). 4.x users: listen up! The presence of the /etc/pam.d/ directory (and anything in that directory) presents a Very Bad Thing. Unless you've manually tweaked your PAM settings, you must run: # rm /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam # rmdir /etc/pam.d/ or all users will be locked out of your system! 20050110: AFFECTS: users of irc/iip AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org iip has been updated to the new network servers. Therefore, both old configuration files and node reference keys no longer apply. Therefore, you need to update the configuration files for each user running the iip isproxy daemon: 1) Backup configuration files: cp ~/.iip/isproxy.ini ~/.iip/isproxy.ini.backup cp ~/.iip/node.ref ~/.iip/node.ref.backup 2) Remove configuration files: rm ~/.iip/isproxy.ini rm ~/.iip/node.ref 3) Create new configuration. Fill information as requested. This creates the updated isproxy.ini file: isproxy -C 4) Start iip isproxy. This will initialize your updated node.ref file. This file will be automatically updated when you connect to the iip network: isproxy 20050110: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nautilus-cd-burner AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org Nautilus-cd-burner now requires cdrtools built with UTF-8 encoding support. The default sysutils/cdrtools port does not support this encoding, and that will cause nautilus-cd-burner to enter an infinite loop when trying to create CD images. To workaround this, the cdrtools dependency was changed in nautilus-cd-burner to point to the sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port instead. Since sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-cjk conflict, you must uninstall cdrtools so that the nautilus-cd-burner update can properly pull in cdrtools-cjk. 20050108: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap, mail/sqwebmail AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org Courier-imap and sqwebmail are now dependent on courier-authlib. If you've changed the default authentication config for courier-imap or sqwebmail, you will have to redo the changes for courier-authlib. You may wish to deinstall courier-imap and/or sqwebmail before you install courier-authlib. Since courier-authlib replaces parts of both ports, some of courier-authlib's files are listed as sqwebmail and courier-imap files and deinstalling old courier-imap and/or sqwebmail port may cause the deinstallation of the freshly installed courier-authlib files. 20050108: AFFECTS: users of mail/sqwebmail AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org Sqwebmail now installs it's files directly under PREFIX. That means for instance that files that were formerly found under PREFIX/share/sqwebmail/etc/ are now located under PREFIX/etc/sqwebmail. Furthermore you need to set sqwebmaild_enable=YES in your rc.conf because the rc.d script has been migrated to use the rc.subr Subsystem 20050108: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org The variable courier_imap_imapdssl_enable have been renamed to courier_imap_imapd_ssl_enable. The variable courier_imap_pop3dssl_enable have been renamed to courier_imap_pop3d_ssl_enable. userdb stuff is now located in LOCALBASE/etc/authlib instead of LOCALBASE/etc. 20041231: AFFECTS: users of www/awstats AUTHOR: webmaster@lightningfire.net Location of awstats changed from /usr/local/www to /usr/local/www/awstats. Please update configuration according instructions in pkg-message. 20041231: AFFECTS: users of the linux compatibility environment AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The default linux_base was changed from v7 to v8. You need to update from v7 to v8 and rebuild every linux port. To update run: portupgrade -rf -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base In case you already use linux_base-8 you have to run: portupgrade -rf emulators/linux_base-8 20041229: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3, x11-servers/xorg-server AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org If KDE does not start anymore after upgrading Xorg to version 6.8.1 (X restarts when the KDE splash screen has reached the third icon), please check whether the directory /tmp/.ICE-unix exists, is owned by root and has permissions 1777 (read/write/access for everybody + sticky bit). To make sure everything is in working order, do (as root): mkdir -p /tmp/.ICE-unix && chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix && chown root:wheel /tmp/.ICE-unix Also, make sure you do NOT have clear_tmp_enable="YES" set in /etc/rc.conf, as it will remove the directory on every reboot and applications will re- create it with the wrong ownership. Users of daily_clean_tmps_enable in /etc/periodic.conf should make sure daily_clean_tmps_ignore contains /tmp/.ICE-unix. 20041227: AFFECTS: users of lang/gambas AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org As of this update, the password of your databases connections are crypted. If you were using the database manager, please remove ~/.gambas/gambas-database-manager.conf before launching the new version. 20041226: AFFECTS: users of Horde and the related ports (Turba, IMP, Nag, Kronolith, Mnemo, Chora) AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org As of this update, the configuration files are generated by the application, with no support for configuration files used in previous versions. All data saved in the database, LDAP or MCAL backends will be preserved, considering that you run specific scripts to migrate to this new scheme. Affected ports are www/horde, mail/turba, deskutils/nag, deskutils/kronolith, and deskutils/mnemo. See the UPGRADING documentation of the ports in question for more details. The filter system of IMP 3.x has been replaced by a separate application: check the port mail/ingo. Ingo provides a script to migrate the existing filter rules from IMP 3.x, see Ingo's documentation. 20041224: AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server and graphics/dri AUTHOR: lesi@FreeBSD.org As of version 4.4.0_6, XFree86-4-Server now depends on graphics/xfree86-dri. This is due to incompatibilities between XFree86 and the new xorg 6.8.1 DRI. Users of XFree86-4-Server are strongly encouraged to switch to the xfree86-dri port as follows: portupgrade -fo graphics/xfree86-dri graphics/dri which will also fix dependencies. 20041224: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade and lang/ruby18 AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org Please upgrade sysutils/portupgrade prior to lang/ruby18, or pkgdb(1) may coredump with a double free() problem from a misuse (or a "feature") of the DL module. In that case, you can reinstall sysutils/portupgrade manually. 20041222: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav, security/clamav-devel AUTHOR: jylefort@brutele.be The ClamAV database path has changed from /usr/local/share/clamav to /var/db/clamav. You should update the DatabaseDirectory keyword in /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf and /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf. 20041221: AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme03 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org security/gpgme03 has been modified to not conflicts with gpgme 1.x After upgrade, you need to rebuild all ports that depend on it. You should upgrade security/gpgme (if installed) to avoid nasty compile time failures, due to original location of gpgme.h. 20041219: AFFECTS: users of textproc/jdictionary AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The location for JDictionary port installed files has changed. This also affects the various plugins. Hence, users should upgrade all jdictionary related ports at once to avoid inconsistencies: $ portupgrade jdictionary\* 20041214: AFFECTS: users of net/freenet6 AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org The FreeNet6 service must now be enabled/disabled in rc.conf: freenet6_enable="YES" 20041213: AFFECTS: users of security/cryptplug, deskutils/kdepim3 AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org The cryptplug port is not compatible with recent versions of gpgme and has been changed to depend on gpgme03 (the last version of gpg- me compatible with cryptplug). Users who have been using cryptplug in order to enable PGP/MIME support in KMail should DEINSTALL BOTH cryptplug and gpgme03 before updating KDE to version 3.3.2. Cryptplug is NOT necessary anymore to enable PGP/MIME support in KMail and will cause the kdepim3 build to fail due to conflicting dependencies. 20041213: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-relay AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org The PostgreSQL Relay must now be enabled/ disabled in rc.conf: postgresqlrelay_enable="YES" 20041212: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula AUTHOR: lkoeller@FreeBSD.org The port was split into a -server and -client component. The -server part contains the storage and director daemon, the -client part the console, file daemon and the documentation. For migration delete the bacula port and install the -server and/or -client port afterwards. 20041208: AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org There is a known quirk when using mail/getmail with Python 2.4 where the DeprecationWarning is printed regarding the use of the 'strict' keyword when a message is being retrieved. You can redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null to quelch the warning. The quirk may be fixed in a future version of getmail. 20041205: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org multimedia/ffmpeg will not work if previous versions of the port are installed. Also, there is a shared library version bump on this update. Therefore: 1) Remove old ffmpeg pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/ffmpeg* 2) Install updated ffmpeg 3) Rebuild all ports that depend on ffmpeg due to the shared library version bump cd /var/db/pkg && portupgrade -rf ffmpeg* -x ffmpeg* 20041202: AFFECTS: users of any ports which have dependency on lang/python AUTHOR: perky@FreeBSD.org After upgrading of lang/python, you must rebuild all its consumer ports to make them get ready to Python 2.4. To do this, you will need to: pkgdb -uf && cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages 20041128: AFFECTS: users of mail/dspam and mail/dspam-devel AUTHOR: itetcu@people.tecnik93.com When upgrading from previous version, read mail/dspam/files/UPDATING and adjust your options. 20041121: AFFECTS: users of news/rawdog AUTHOR: tim@bishnet.net Rawdog 2.x changes the format of the state file used in 1.x. To upgrade from 1.x to 2.x the rawdog author recommends the following: cp -R ~/.rawdog ~/.rawdog-old rm ~/.rawdog/state rawdog -u rawdog --upgrade ~/.rawdog-old ~/.rawdog rawdog -w Once you're happy with the new version: rm -r ~/.rawdog-old 20041118: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org portsdb(1) is part of the portupgrade suite and is used to convert a ports INDEX file to a binary INDEX.db database. By default, it uses the libc-builtin berkeley db to do so, which has a buggy btree implementation. If you see errors like "[BUG] Segmentation fault" while a portsdb update is in progress, adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment or in pkgtools.conf) to either bdb1_hash or dbm_hash. This problem was fixed in 5.3-RELEASE, but users of 4.10-RELEASE and 5.2.1-RELEASE (and older releases) will find fixes by updating to the latest (at least after Sep 20) of RELENG_4 or RELENG_5. 20041116: AFFECTS: users of www/bricolage AUTHOR: ports@rbt.ca Bricolage may now be run on mod_perl compiled as a DSO for Apache when following these guidelines: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#When_DSO_can_be_Used To do this, you will need to: pkg_delete -f apache-mod_perl pkg_delete -f p5-libapreq-static portupgrade -rR bricolage Bricolage will rebuild mod_perl, apache and libapreq using their standard versions. 20041115: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org Due to the recent removal of INDEX and INDEX-5 from FreeBSD's CVS, portupgrade with default configuration will run 'make index' if started after cvsup'ing the ports-collection. This may take an undesirably long time. There are several ways to work around this, for example: - Run 'make fetchindex' after cvsup'ing ports, or: - Adjust the PORTS_INDEX variable in your environment or in pkgtools.conf (see portupgrade(1) or the default pkgtools.conf) to a different value than the default. Also remember that 'make index' is only supported on _complete_ ports-trees. If you are currently refusing whole categories by means of a cvsup refuse file, use 'make fetchindex' instead (or consider keeping an extra machine/jail with a complete ports-tree around to do INDEX builds on). 20041111: AFFECTS: users of audio/faad, multimedia/mpeg4ip AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org mpeg4ip has been updated and broken down into 2 separate ports: mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2. Furthermore, mpeg4ip now depends on faad. Moreover, faad now depends on mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 rather than on mpeg4ip which avoids a cyclic dependency (mpeg4ip depends on faad which depends on mpeg4ip). If any of the old ports are installed, mpeg4ip will not compile. Therefore, 1) Remove old faad and mpeg4ip ports which conflict with new mpeg4ip pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/mpeg4ip* pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/faad* 2) Install faad, mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 in the following order cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 && make install clean cd /usr/ports/audio/faad && make install clean cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip && make install clean 20041111: AFFECTS: users of Java AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org javavmwrapper has been rewritten. It now creates symbolic links for all executables of the Java VMs that have been registered with it. These symbolic links may impact which version of Java you are using, depending on your PATH, which may need to be adjusted. For example, if your path is: ${LOCALBASE}/bin:${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin then previously "java" would resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java. With the new javavmwrapper it will resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java. Depending upon the Java VMs that are registered and various environment variables, it may or may not be ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java that is run by javavmwrapper via the symbolic link ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java. 20041107: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org To use GMail in konqueror, you need to set the browser identification for gmail.google.com to 'Safari 1.2.3 on Mac OS X', otherwise you will not be able to click on any links in GMail after logging in. You can set site-specific browser identifications via the Settings menu in Konqueror (Configure Konqueror/Browser Identification) or in the KDE Control Center, Internet & Network/Web Browser/Browser Identification. 20041107: AFFECTS: all users who have any GNOME libraries installed AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org and the rest of the FreeBSD/GNOME crew Hey, 2.6! You don't have to be 2.6 anymore! Do NOT use portupgrade(1) to update your GNOME 2.6 desktop to 2.8: it won't work, and you'll have to recompile bunches of ports by hand as a result. Use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to automate the upgrade process. The script is available from http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh 20041104: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav-devel AUTHOR: rob@debank.tv The configuration file was renamed from clamav.conf to clamd.conf, make sure to move your configuration before restarting the server. 20041104: AFFECTS: users of japanese/rskkserv AUTHOR: rushani@FreeBSD.org The format of PREFIX/etc/rskkserv.conf has changed in version 2.95. Please update your configuration file before restarting the server using PREFIX/share/examples/rskkserv/conf-o2n.rb and referring to PREFIX/share/examples/rskkserv/rskkserv.conf.sample. 20041031: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql40-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The MySQL daemon must now be enabled/disabled in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20041028: AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Please note that the handling of the default type/creator has changed with 2.0.1. As a side effect, users upgrading from earlier versions, including 2.0.0, will have to remove the default type/creator from the AppleVolumes.System file. The install process will not modify this file automatically. Please remove the line starting with '. "????"' manually. This text was taken from the Netatalk 2.0.1 release notes at https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=278320. 20041027: AFFECTS: users of games/pcgen AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The launcher script for PCGen has been renamed to 'pcgen' (formerly 'pcgen.sh'). 20041024: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql50-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The MySQL daemon must now be enabled/disabled in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20041024: AFFECTS: users of mail/popfile AUTHOR: matusita@FreeBSD.org Since there is a known problem that popfile doesn't work with DBD::SQLite 1.x at this time, you'll be in trouble after upgrading databases/p5-DBD-SQLite to the latest one. A workaround is committed to 0.22.0_1 which uses databases/p5-DBD-SQLite2 by default. However, if already installed popfile, please check ${HOME}/.popfile/popfile.cfg, and change the line "bayes_dbconnect dbi:SQLite:dbname=$dbname" to "bayes_dbconnect dbi:SQLite2:dbname=$dbname" then restart popfile. 20041023: AFFECTS: users of mail/dbmail AUTHOR: seanc@FreeBSD.org When upgrading from 1.X to 2.X, read the upgrading instructions. The structure of the database has changed, please use the migration scripts provided. Many of the programs have been renamed and arguments have been changed as well. 20041020: AFFECTS: users of security/antivir-milter AUTHOR: marius@FreeBSD.org When updating from previous versions of security/antivir-milter to antivir-milter-1.1 and you had changed PREFIX/etc/avmilter.conf you have to bring over your changes to PREFIX/etc/avmilter/avmilter.conf after installing the new version of this port. Note, however, that some variables have been renamed. If you used AntiVir Milter ignore, scan and/or warn files in /etc you can now move them to PREFIX/etc/avmilter. 20041019: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql41-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The MySQL daemon must now be enabled/disabled in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20041018: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org The courier-imap port must now be enabled/disabled in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20041015: AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 with devel/apr AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS knob is no longer supported, since apr > 1.0 doesn't conflict with apache2's one. If you use apr 0.9.x you won't be able to upgrade apache2 anymore. 20041014: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The configuration file for the clamd daemon has changed from /usr/local/etc/clamav.conf to /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf. 20041013: AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org If you are using a version of mail/getmail earlier than 4.x and are planning to upgrade to 4.2.2, please note that the configuration file syntax has changed and the existing configuration file(s) will not work. Please refer to the online documentation available at: (http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail-4/documentation.html) If you already upgraded to the latest version of getmail, you can refer to the installed documentation under: ${PREFIX}/share/docs/getmail The 4.x branch of getmail also requires Python 2.3.3 or newer. Some mail delivery agents require that the unixfrom parameter to be set to either "true" or "false" in the configuration file. A "quick and dirty" guide on setting up, configuring and using getmail is available at: (http://www.qnd-guides.org/qnd-getmail.html) 20041012: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: marshall@chezmarshall.com Upgrading from 2003.2 to 2004.2 is straightforward, it is highly recommended to checkpoint and backup your server as follows: p4 verify //... p4 verify -u //... # possibly redundant p4 admin checkpoint p4 admin stop If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 2003.2, you should consult the Perforce documentation (http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technical.html) before proceeding. Also, it looks as though Perforce has stopped updating the man pages, so they are no longer included in the port. 20041012: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox AUTHOR: freebsd-gnome@FreeBSD.org After upgrading to firefox-1.0.1.p, certain things such as extension/theme [de]installation, and "Find On Page" may no longer work. You may also notice an infinite loop when starting Firefox. If this happens, backup ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/bookmarks.html, and remove ~/.mozilla/firefox. Afterward, Firefox should start up. You can then restore the bookmarks.html file to the new ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default directory. 20041012: AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Netatalk has been upgraded to 2.0.0. There are some important instructions for upgrading from 1.6.x. Please see http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/2.0/htmldocs/upgrade.html on how to make the transition. 20041011: AFFECTS: users of www/linuxpluginwrapper who are running FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or later (including -current) AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org According to UPDATING(20041001), /etc/libmap.conf should be fixed libm.so.2 to libm.so.3. 20041001: AFFECTS: users of ports that require several base system libraries who are running FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or later (including -current) AUTHOR: kensmith@FreeBSD.org As part of the FreeBSD-5.3 release the following system libraries had their version number incremented: /lib/libm.so.2 -> libm.so.3 /lib/libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.5 /usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 -> libhistory.so.5 /usr/lib/libopie.so.2 -> libopie.so.3 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.2 -> libpcap.so.3 This should have no effect unless you are using FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or higher, or if you are a -current user who upgraded after this date. Assuming you did a from-source upgrade new versions of these libraries will be created but the old versions will be left behind (for example /lib/libm.so.2 will be the old one, /lib/libm.so.3 will be the new one). Any ports or pre-built packages you have currently installed will continue to use the old library, any ports you install after the upgrade will begin to use the new library. You will need to have all your ports recompiled before the old library goes away. To help with the migration you could also use /etc/libmap.conf to map libm.so.2 to libm.so.3. 20040903: AFFECTS: users of net/kdenetwork3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The lanbrowsing facility of KDE has been removed from the main kdenetwork3 port and is now available via the net/lanbrowsing port. 20040901: AFFECTS: users of www/squid AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de www/squid now installs an rcNG script by default. This means you need to explicitly enable squid by setting squid_enable=yes in /etc/rc.conf. The squid.sh script uses the following variables: squid_chdir squid_flags squid_user Please see the squid.sh script for further details. If you want to install an old style rc-script, build the port with "WITHOUT_SQUID_RCNG=YES" or by rerunning "make config" and disabling this option. 20040830: AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org In KDE 3.3, a number of files were moved between ports and some ports were removed. This means that you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work. portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic behavior and crashes from applications launched during the update. 1.) First, make sure your ports index is up to date. cd /usr/ports && make index or, if you're using the sysutils/portindex port portindex 2.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdeaddons-kontact-plugins-\* \ kdeaddons-kaddressbook-plugins-\* kdepim-\* kdeutils-\* \ kdeaddons-\[0-9\]\* kde-\[0-9\]\* kdegraphics now conflicts with the kolourpaint package and kdeedu now conflicts with the kwordquiz package. If you have kwordquiz and/or kolourpaint installed on your system and you want to use the kdegraphics/ kdeedu ports, you should first deinstall the conflicting packages: pkg_deinstall -f kolourpaint\* kwordquiz\* 3.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade arts\* kde\* quanta\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a Note that the quanta port has been renamed to kdewebdev. The commands above will automatically replace quanta with kdewebdev, if you have quanta installed. 4.) Reinstall any KDE ports you deleted in step 2. Note that the kdeaddons- kontact-plugins (net/kontact-plugins), kdepim-kpilot (palm/kpilot) and quanta (www/quanta) ports/packages do not exist anymore and cannot be reinstalled. Known post-updating issues: - If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update: rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc Then log out of KDE and back in again. - KMail has been heavily modified since KDE 3.2.x. Testing shows that KMail can display erratic behavior and crashes after the update. If you see any such behavior, it is recommended to simply close KMail and start it again until it resumes normal operation. The integration of GnuPG and KMail for signing, encrypting and verifying PGP/MIME mail has also changed. A quick howto is available at http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php. - kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc. You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations by running genkdmconf Make sure to backup your old kdmrc (usually found in /usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an invalid configuration. - Extensive information about changes from KDE 3.2.x can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_2_3to3_3.php 20040829: AFFECTS: users of mail/mutt-devel AUTHOR: udo.schweigert@siemens.com The defaults of the port have been changed from WITH_MUTT_NCURSES to WITH_MUTT_SLANG to be in sync with the mail/mutt port. If you really have problems with slang (which should be a very rare case) be sure to have set COLORTERM=yes and COLORFGBG="color1;color2" in your environment, or recompile the port with the WITH_MUTT_NCURSES knob set (e.g. by adding WITH_MUTT_NCURSES=yes to your /etc/make.conf). 20040828: AFFECTS: users of security/samba-vscan AUTHOR: jmelo@freebsdbrasil.com.br The default location of the configuration files has been changed from /etc/ to /usr/local/etc and from /etc/samba/ to /usr/local/etc/samba-vscan/; the default location of the data files has been changed from /var/run/clamd to /var/run/clamav/clamd and from /var/opt/f-secure/fsav/databases to /var/db/fsav/databases. 20040820: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-tetex, japanese/xdvik, and japanese/dvipsk AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org japanese/ptex-tetex, japanese/xdvik, and japanese/dvipsk now look for the texmf.cnf file in $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf first, while some utilities included in the original teTeX distribution such as kpsepath(1) look for the file in $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf first. This is for separating the pTeX's texmf.cnf and the original TeX's texmf.cnf, and you do not have to copy or link the file $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf to $TEXMF/web2c/. To lookup pTeX path by using kpsepath(1) and so on, please set TEXMFCNF environment variable as described in $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf. For more detail, see $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf and $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf. 20040820: AFFECTS: users of japanese/platex209-* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org japanese/platex209-* are renamed to japanese/platex209 and now depend on japanese/ptex-tetex. While EUC-JP and JIS encoding can be used by default, but Shift JIS is no longer supported because it makes very difficult to maintain other pTeX related ports. However, "ptex --kanji=sjis" still works, so it can be used if all of macro files under share/texmf are converted to Shift JIS encoding manually. 20040820: AFFECTS: users of japanese/dvipsk-vflib AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org japanese/dvipsk-vflib has been removed because it is not maintained for a long time. While japanese/dvipsk itself has no support to rendering vector fonts, this and Ghostscript give almost the same functionality. 20040820: AFFECTS: users of japanese/xdvik-vflib AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org japanese/xdvik-vflib has been renamed to japanese/xdvik because it has nothing to do with VFLib now. It depends on and uses FreeType2 to render vector fonts. 20040817: AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org Summary of recent changes: - Access to filesystem is denied by default. - mod_proxy* are no longer built by default - Now ${PREFIX}/etc/apache2/Includes/*.conf can be used to store local configuration or sample configurations. - Makefile.modules.3rd contains modules selection for apache 2.x and 1.3.x 20040815: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22{,-sasl}-server AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The start/stop script has moved to ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. Users on 5.x who want to start the daemon early can set WITH_RCORDER=yes. Setting WITH_ODBC_TYPE is not sufficient to enable SQL backend support, WITH_ODBC=yes is required. 20040813: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 (kdm) AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you are unable to login to X via kdm after portupgrading to the latest kdebase port and you're getting these or similar messages on the console /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[447]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup": No such file or directory /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[432]: Cannot execute startup script "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup" /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[448]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xreset": No such file or directory /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:12 kiste kdm: :0[458]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup": No such file or directory please do the following: 1.) Copy /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc away to a safe place, for example your home directory (cp /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ~/) 2.) Run, as root: genkdmconf --no-old 3.) Put your copy of kdmrc back to /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (cp ~/kdmrc /usr/local/share/config/kdm/) Optional step 4.) Run, as root: genkdmconf (without any options) to update your kdmrc to the latest configuration file format Note for advanced users: Substitute /usr/local with your custom PREFIX if you're using one. 20040730: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org, mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. You should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation. * run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.5. * now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like: portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 | tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //') | sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards. Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary, if you are upgrading from 5.8.4. But it is cleaner to do so anyway. 20040726: AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org The update to Ant 1.6.2 introduces the following changes which may break older environments, according to the 1.6.2 release notes: . The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505. . ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has always been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar. . All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception giving the location in the buildfile of the task. . Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace. . will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1. 20040724: AFFECTS: users for xorg and GNOME AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org After migrating from XFree86 to X.Org, you must rebuild x11-toolkits/libwnck and x11/libxklavier for full GNOME functionality to be restored. If you receive an XKB initialization error when starting GNOME, edit your XF86Config or xorg.conf, and remove the line: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" 20040723: AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of X.Org AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade: pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-* cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install pkgdb -F Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process. Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages: cd /var/db/pkg portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 imake-4* portupgrade -o x11/xorg-libraries XFree86-libraries portupgrade -o x11/xorg-clients XFree86-clients portupgrade -o x11/xorg-manpages XFree86-manuals portupgrade -o x11/xorg-documents XFree86-documents portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype XFree86-fontScalable portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-100dpi XFree86-font100dpi portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-75dpi XFree86-font75dpi portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-cyrillic XFree86-fontCyrillic portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-encodings XFree86-fontEncodings portupgrade -o x11-servers/xorg-server XFree86-Server portupgrade -o x11/xorg -f XFree86 20040719: AFFECTS: users of PHP AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been split into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features. Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions). PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions to install can be chosen via the meta-ports lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular extensions individually. If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled into the PHP binary. For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use the command "php -m". 20040717: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap21{,-sasl}-client AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do portupgrade -rfo net/openldap22-client openldap-client (or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=21' to /etc/make.conf Note that when you want to upgrade openldap21{,sasl}-server, you have to use slapcat/slapadd to migrate the database, since the internal format is not binary compatible. Simply upgrading the server without doing a slapcat first can corrupt your database. 20040717: AFFECTS: users of mail/exim on FreeBSD 5.x AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The default location of the startup script has been changed to ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. When you depend on the previous behavior, build the port with WITH_RCORDER=yes. Setting WITH_OPENLDAP_VER and WITH_MYSQL_VER do not automatically imply the corresponding WITH_ variable. The use of these options is discouraged, use the global settings (WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER) to set system wide defaults. 20040709: AFFECTS: users of mail/milter-sender AUTHOR: vs@FreeBSD.org Milter-sender version 0.58 released. When updating to version 0.58, beware if you have a personalized configuration file (milter-sender.cf). The meaning of the MxAcceptsAllAction variable has changed and its default has changed from 4 to 6. If this variable is not updated, greylisting might be more aggressive than expected. 20040708: AFFECTS: users of www/opera AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org Opera 7.52 released. The file search.ini has been changed to ensure correct default addresses for dictionary and encyclopedia searches. Existing versions will be overwritten on upgrade. Users who have a customized search.ini file that they would like to keep, should edit its version number to 4 before upgrading. Note that you have to edit the search.ini file located in the /.opera folder. [Version] File Version=4 Other changes you are may find in changelog, its available at http://www.opera.com/freebsd/changelogs/752/ 20040706: AFFECTS: users of Python bindings for textproc/lib{xml2,xslt} libraries AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org Python bindings for libxml2 and libxslt libraries were moved out into separate slave ports. Please install textproc/py-libxml2 and textproc/py-libxslt to get bindings back to your system. 20040703: AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk-devel AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Netatalk-devel has been converted to use RCng. That means all of the netatalk daemons must be enabled in /etc/rc.conf before they will start (previously, all netatalk daemons would start by default). The following variables are used by the new netatalk.sh script: atalkd_enable cnid_metad_enable papd_enable afpd_enable timelord_enable See the netatalk.sh script for more details. 20040701: AFFECTS: users of security/portaudit AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The preference file format, as well as the periodic(8) names have changed. If you use the default settings, no modifications are necessary. new settings in /usr/local/etc/portaudit.conf: portaudit_fetch_env="HTTP_PROXY=" portaudit_fetch_cmd="fetch -1amp" portaudit_sites="http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/" new settings in periodic.conf(5): daily_status_security_portaudit_enable="YES" daily_status_security_portaudit_expiry="2" daily_status_security_portaudit_user="nobody" 20040629: AFFECTS: users of audio/daapd AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Daapd must now be enabled in rc.conf. Add this to your /etc/rc.conf: daapd_enable="YES" 20040626: AFFECTS: users of lang/php4 and lang/php5 with the PDFlib extension AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The PDFlib extension has been removed from the archive and moved to PECL. Consequently to enable it you have to install print/pecl-pdflib. Alternatively you may want to try the experimental print/pecl-panda. 20040625: AFFECTS: users of ftp/pure-ftpd AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org Pure-ftpd must be enabled in rc.conf now. Add this to your /etc/rc.conf: pureftpd_enable="YES" 20040622: AFFECTS: users of net/openslp AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org The openslp port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20040619: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/webmin and sysutils/usermin AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org The webmin and usermin ports must now be enabled in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-tetex AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The texmf.cnf file for pTeX is now installed in texmf/web2c-ptex. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-pkfonts* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The japanese/ptex-pkfonts* has been removed because pkfonts are already included in the teTeX distribution. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/xdvik-vflib* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The japanese/xdvik-vflib no longer supports VFlib2, and now depends on print/freetype2. For the configuration details, see vfontmap file which installed as texmf/xdvi/vfontmap. japanese/kochi-ttfonts is used for min and goth by default. xdvik-vflib-pk* variants has been removed because pkfonts are already included in the teTeX distribution. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The print/teTeX has been split into print/teTeX-base and print/teTeX-texmf, and print/teTeX is now a meta-port for the two and print/dvipsk-tetex and print/xdvik. print/teTeX installs dvips and xdvi by default again (via print/dvipsk-tetex and print/xdvik). For people who want to use teTeX, simply install print/teTeX with options set by default. print/teTeX-base has additional options for adding xdvi and dvips included in the teTeX distribution itself, but use of them are not recommended if you do not understand what you are trying to do. Especially, when the options are set by yourself, do not install ports that match *xdvi* and *dvips* because they break the installed print/teTeX-base's dviware and such conflicts will not be detected. In most cases, a combination of print/teTeX-base + print/dvipsk-tetex + print/xdvik (which are installed by print/teTeX by default) will be sufficient. 20040615: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org The firefox-0.9 update has a special requirement before you can run it. You must first run firefox as root before running it as another user. The best way to do this is to su - to root or log in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run ``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will not appear. 20040608: AFFECTS: users of net/haproxy AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org The haproxy port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040605: AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org The apache2 port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040602: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org, marius@FreeBSD.org sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel were merged into sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-devel respectively. To update them generate ("make index") or fetch ("make fetchindex") a new INDEX/INDEX-5. Run "pkgdb -F" and unregister the mkisofs/-devel port. Then forcefully update the cdrtools port and all of its dependencies (e.g. "portupgrade -rf cdrtools"). After the update it may be necessary to rerun "pkgdb -F" and resolve a stale dependency to cdrtools. 20040531: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.4. you should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation. * run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.4. * now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like: portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.4 | tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //') | sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards. 20040529: AFFECTS: users of mail/mailman and japanese/mailman AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org In Mailman 2.1.5, some significant changes have been made to the file formats for qfiles and the pendings database. See $PREFIX/share/doc/mailman/UPGRADING for details (if you defined NOPORTDOCS, refer to relevant file in the archive). 20040527: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22-client AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The OpenLDAP library soname has changed, requiring a recompilation of all dependent ports: portupgrade -rf net/openldap22-client 20040525: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-client AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org This port was removed because of dependencies problem. If you still want to have it, install databases/postgresql7 with -DWITHOUT_SERVER. 20040521: AFFECTS: users of irc/ircd-hybrid-ru AUTHOR: krion@FreeBSD.org UID/GID were changed from 6667 to 555, please manually delete old entries from /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd, and /etc/group. 20040514: AFFECTS: users of audio/faad AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org If the compilation of faad fails, please manually delete previously installed version of faad and reinstall it from the port. 20040512: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The print/teTeX no longer installs dvipsk by default. To build and install dvipsk, you have to specify WITH_DVIPSK, or the dvipsk utility in the print/teTeX is also available print/dvipsk-tetex separately. This change is to resolve conflicts between various versions of dvips. 20040504: AFFECTS: users of mail/drac AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The "drac_flags" rc.conf(5) variable has been renamed to "dracd_flags". See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040501: AFFECTS: users of www/apache13 AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The apache13 port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040429: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/smartmontools AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The smartmontools port must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040420: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cdrtools AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The cdrecord program now uses ${PREFIX}/etc (e.g. /usr/local/etc) instead of /etc/default as the location of the global configuration file. If you created such a configuration file you need to copy it over to the new location. 20040420: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you update KDE from version 3.2.1 or earlier to version 3.2.2 while running a KDE session, newly opened instances of Konqueror might hang or crash, depending on how far the update has progressed. If this happens, it is necessary to restart your KDE session in order to restore proper operations. 20040404: AFFECTS: GNOME desktop users AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.6. Simply portupgrading will cause serious problems if you are using the desktop itself. If you are a GNOME desktop user, you should carefully read the instructions at: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html And use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to properly upgrade to GNOME 2.6. If you are just a casual user of some of the GNOME libraries, portupgrade should be sufficient to update your ports. 20040316: AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-* AUTHOR: des@FreeBSD.org The isc-dhcp3-* ports must now be enabled/disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message for details. 20040313: AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2 AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Users of expat2 (and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2 20040311: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7 AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org PostgreSQL 7.4.2 released and release notes available at: http://www.postgresql.org/news/173.html NOTICE: unlike most minor versions, this version does require some updates to the pg_* system tables. Full instructions for how to do this are included in the full HISTORY file. *** DO NOT UPGRADE WITHOUT READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS *** 20040309: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs3 and x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you update kdelibs from version 3.2.0 to version 3.2.1 while running a KDE 3.2.0 session, newly opened instances of Konqueror will silently crash as soon as the new version of kdelibs has been installed, due to mismatching linker symbols. It is recommended you quit your KDE session at that point and update kdebase to version 3.2.1, then restart KDE. 20040309: AFFECTS: users of audio/arts and x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The arts port, PORTVERSION 1.2.1 does not include artswrapper anymore. Instead, artswrapper is now installed by a new port audio/artswrapper. Installation of artswrapper is optional, however: If you presently run KDE and you have "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)" checked in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/ Sound System and you choose to NOT install audio/artswrapper, you need to - Uncheck "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)" in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System BEFORE updating arts OR: - AFTER updating arts and kdebase, go to Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/ Sound System, click on the unchecked "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)", dismiss the message telling you that realtime is un- available or artswrapper is missing and then click Apply. 20040305: AFFECTS: users of security/antivir-milter AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org When updating from a previous version of security/antivir-milter you have to do the following after deinstalling the old port: rm /AntiVir/antivir rm /AntiVir/antivir.vdf chown root:wheel /AntiVir chown root:smmsp /AntiVir/hbedv.key In your SENDMAIL_MC change `S=unix:/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m' to: `S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m' and rebuild sendmail.cf. If /var/spool/avmilter exist you have to: chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter If you are using a customized /etc/avmilter.conf the port won't remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User and Group to smmsp there. Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then should run antivirupdater to get a current VDF. 20040226: AFFECTS: i386 users of lang/ruby* and sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386. If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default, please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8: 1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be installed): pkg_delete portupgrade-\* (cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean) 2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8 instead: portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16 3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks): portupgrade -f lang/ruby18 4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia): pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16 5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again. Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and reinstall portupgrade as a last resort. 20040204: AFFECTS: 5.2-CURRENT users who started with a 5.2-RELEASE or older.
