This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when
upgrading your ports. We try our best to minimize these disruptions,
but sometimes they are unavoidable.
You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each
time you update your ports collection, before attempting any port
upgrades.

AFFECTS: users of 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

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.

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

AFFECTS: users of java
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
javavmwrapper has been rewritten. It now creates symbolic links for
all executables of the Java VMs that have been registered with it.
These symbolic links may impact which version of Java you are using,
depending on your PATH, which may need to be adjusted.
For example, if your path is:
${LOCALBASE}/bin:${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin
then previously "java" would resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java.
With the new javavmwrapper it will resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.
Depending upon the Java VMs that are registered and various environment
variables, it may or may not be ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java that is
run by javavmwrapper via the symbolic link ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.

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

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
<backup repository>
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

daapd_enable="YES"
20040626:
AFFECTS: users of php4 and 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
afterward.
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

installed version of faad and reinstall from 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

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:

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/kdebase
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 <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir
rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir.vdf
chown root:wheel <PREFIX>/AntiVir
chown root:smmsp <PREFIX>/AntiVir/hbedv.key
In your SENDMAIL_MC change
`S=unix:<PREFIX>/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m'
to:
`S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m'
and rebuild sendmail.cf.
If /var/spool/avmilter exist you have to:
chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter
If you are using a customized <PREFIX>/etc/avmilter.conf the port
won't remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User
and Group to smmsp there.
Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then
should run antivirupdater to get a current VDF.
20040226:
AFFECTS: i386 users of ruby and portupgrade
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386.
If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default,
please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf.
Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to
ruby 1.8:
1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be
installed):
pkg_delete portupgrade-\*
(cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean)
2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8
instead:
portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16
3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks):
portupgrade -f lang/ruby18
4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia):
pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16
5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts
causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again.
Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade
and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and
reinstall portupgrade as a last resort.
20040204:
AFFECTS: 5.2-CURRENT users who started with a 5.2-RELEASE or older.
AUTHOR: obrien@FreeBSD.org
