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. 20110509: AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-* AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org GHC has been updated to version 7.0.3 and other Haskell ports are also updated to their Haskell Platform versions or latest versions. To update all affected ports: # portmaster -r lang/ghc or # portupgrade -r lang/ghc 20110506: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl* AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org Default version of Perl was bumped to 5.12. If you already have lang/perl5.10 or lang/perl5.8 installed, and want to switch to lang/perl5.12 please follow instructions in the entry 20100715 in this file. 20110503 AFFECTS: users of www/codeigniter and www/codeigniter-devel AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org www/codeigniter has been renamed to www/codeigniter17 to track the legacy 1.7.* branch of Codeigniter development. www/codeigniter-devel has been renamed to www/codeigniter to track the recommended 2.0.* branch of Codeigniter development. If you have Codeigniter 1.7.x installed and would like to continue using it, please run one of the following commands to update its origin: # portmaster -o www/codeigniter17 www/codeigniter or # portupgrade -o www/codeigniter17 www/codeigniter If you have Codeigniter 2.0.x installed, please run one of the following commands to update its origin: # portmaster -o www/codeigniter www/codeigniter-devel or # portupgrade -o www/codeigniter www/codeigniter-devel 20110427 AFFECTS: users of mail/ezmlm-idx AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org 1) Please consult the instructions for upgrading to version 7.1.1 from the earlier 0.444 version in the ports tree: Online: https://github.com/bruceg/ezmlm-idx/blob/master/UPGRADE Local: /usr/local/share/doc/ezmlm-idx/UPGRADE 2) SQLite3 has been added as a supported database plugin. Note that the MySQL, PgSQL and SQLite options are mutually exclusive, and the first selected option takes precedence if multiple options are selected. 20110421: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/webcamd AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org Webcamd now creates device nodes with 0660 permission and webcamd:webcamd ownership. To get access to the webcamd devices just add yourself to the webcamd group. 20110409: AFFECTS: users of japanese/asterisk-sounds AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org The japanese/asterisk-sounds has been updated to 1.8. If you want to stay with ja-asterisk14-sounds, please run: # portmaster -o japanese/asterisk14-sounds japanese/asterisk-sounds or # portupgrade -o japanese/asterisk14-sounds japanese/asterisk-sounds See also 20101128 net/asterisk entry. 20110406: AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml and related libraries/applications AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org Ocaml compiler and libraries suite has been updated to 3.12. There appears to be an ABI incompatibility with .cmi files generated by previos compiler versions. Though these should only affect the linking process, if some application you're using start to misbehave after the lang/ocaml updated you're advised to rebuild this applications using the new ocaml version. 20110402: AFFECTS: user of net-mgmt/xymon-client and net-mgmt/xymon-server AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org Loginname, path, scripts and config files have been renamed in 4.3.0 Steps to update: 1. Stop and deinstall the old version. 2. Copy the remaining config files to the new location. 3. Read the instructions 4. merge your old config with the upgrade430.sh script 5. fix the hobbit_*_enable lines in /etc/rc.conf # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit-server stop # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit-client stop # pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/xymon-* # pkg_add xymon-client-4.3.0.tbz # pkg_add xymon-server-4.3.0.tbz # cp /usr/local/www/hobbit/server/etc/* /usr/local/www/xymon/server/etc/ # less /usr/local/www/xymon/server/www/help/upgrade-to-430.txt # /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin/bbcmd /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin/upgrade430.sh # sed -i '' -e 's|hobbit|xymon' /etc/rc.conf # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xymon-client start # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xymon-server start 20110328: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-client AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.25. In this version, certain library rountines were moved from liblutil to libldap. If you previously built the library with "FETCH" support, this would cause libldap to depend on FreeBSD's libfetch.so library. As of 20110402, a local change have been introduced so OpenLDAP libraries link against libfetch.so when FETCH is enabled. Normally, no further user interaction would be required. For new installations, the FETCH option have been turned off by default. 20110324: AFFECTS: users of KDE SC 4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.6.1. As usual a number of files were moved between packages, manual intervention into update procedure is required: # pkg_delete -f kdehier4\* kdebase-runtime-4\* kdebase-workspace-4\* # pkg_delete -f kdeedu-4\* kdeutils-4\* # portmaster -a 20110322: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org The www/firefox port has been updated to 4.0. If you want to stay with Firefox 3.6 please run: # portupgrade -o www/firefox36 www/firefox # portupgrade -o www/firefox36-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed) or # portmaster -o www/firefox36 www/firefox # portmaster -o www/firefox36-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed) Do not select the OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS option on a system with less then 2 GB of RAM otherwise you will run out of memory during the build. Please make sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 4.0 and backup your ~/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox 4.0. The startup script has been renamed from firefox3 to firefox. 20110319: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-client AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The shared library version of the client library was increased to reflect ABI changes, and avoid compatibility problems with the client library in MySQL 5.1, so client programs that use the 5.5 client library should be recompiled against the 5.5.10 client library. This can be achieved with: # portmaster -r mysql-client-5.5 or # portupgrade -fr mysql-client-5.5 20110318: AFFECTS: users of www/node and www/node-devel AUTHOR: araujo@FreeBSD.org The port www/node was merged with www/node-devel since there is no longer a development version. Also www/node has not followed the stable upstream prior to this update. To keep www/node updated in your applications, from now on you must use www/node instead of www/node-devel. If you have been using the www/node-devel, you must run one of the following commands to upgrade: # portmaster -o www/node www/node-devel or # portupgrade -o www/node www/node-devel 20110317: AFFECTS: users of www/uzbl AUTHOR: Klaus Aehlig The port has been updated to version as of 2011/02/15. This introduces the following incompatabilities. - $UZBL_FIFO, $UZBL_TITLE are available to scripts as environment ariables, but not as command-line arguments. - environment variables are no longer expanded by the config parser - download handling has changed - cookie daemons are no longer supported Users are advised to change their personal configuration files/scripts accordingly. 20110316: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/duplicity AUTHOR: peter.schuller@infidyne.com sysutils/duplicity has been upgraded to 0.6.11. The old version (0.5.20) is retained as sysutils/duplicity05. Duplicity 0.6 should be generally compatible, but pay special attention to the new meaning of the --archive-dir command. In particular, the archive dir is now mandatory and defaults to ~/.cache/duplicity. You may have to --exclude accordingly. In addition, it is recommended you consult the CHANGELOG, specifically the "New in v0.6.00 (2009/06/08)" section which details the checkpoint/restore feature (enabled by default) and its implications. 20110313: AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org The setiathome client has been updated to version 6.12. Before you update, finish and report your current workunits to avoid losing them. 20110304: AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-* AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default version of Python has been changed from 2.6.x to 2.7.x. If you have 2.6.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python26 to lang/python27 with one of the following commands: If using portupgrade: # portupgrade -o lang/python27 lang/python26 If using portmaster: # portmaster -o lang/python27 lang/python26 If you want to retain 2.6.x as default Python version, set the PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.6' (without quotes) in /etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following command: # portupgrade -R python Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.7, by using the method 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. If using portupgrade: # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages If using portmaster: # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which). This is not the fault of portmaster. 20110301: AFFECTS: users of databases/jasperserver AUTHOR: jhelfman@experts-exchange.com (taken from release notes of 4.0 from vendor) If you are upgrading from an older JasperServer version such as 3.5 then you must first upgrade to JasperServer 3.7 before upgrading to 4.0. Upgrading directly from JasperServer 3.5 to 4.0 is not a "certified" (i.e. fully QA tested) procedure. The steps to carry out this operation are fully documented in the JasperReports Server Installation Guide for the 3.7 release. You will need to download the JasperServer 3.7 release package to get the relevant files and documentation. To download the JasperServer 3.7 WAR file distribution zip package, go to the JasperForge.org website and to the JasperServer project. http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperserver 20110228: AFFECTS: users of devel/ccache AUTHOR: Emanuel Haupt ccache now allows the use of non-default compilers such as clang. This requires adjustments of the ccache make glue. Please (re)read the following document after updating ccache to ccache-3.1.4_1: /usr/local/share/doc/ccache/ccache-howto-freebsd.txt 20110227: AFFECTS: users of net/unison and net/unison-devel AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org Unison has been upgraded to version 2.40, which uses a different wire protocol than 2.32 did. In order to support synchronization with other computers where Unison is still at version 2.32, a new port net/unison232 has been created. It provides unison232 and if that is GTK2-enabled, also unison232-text. This unison232 port can be installed in parallel with the existing net/unison port. 20110224: AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org Xorg has been updated to 7.5.1. For all ATI users the driver was updated to 6.14.0 but the old one is still available in x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati613. See radeon(5) for options available. 20110224: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server} AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.24, which requires a shared library version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports that depend on it. Please do something like: # portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client or # portmaster -r net/openldap24-client 20110224: AFFECTS: Nobody AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD 8.2 and 7.4 released. 20110209: AFFECTS: users of www/testlink AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org Testlink 1.9.1 was released. Before updating, you should read carefully the included README file because this release requires a manual update of the database scheme. 20110125: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12 AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.12 has been updated to 5.12.3. You should update everything that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use "perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.12. Please see its manual page for details. If you want to switch to lang/perl5.12 from lang/perl5.{8,10} please follow instructions in the entry 20100715 in this file. 20110124: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org Postfix 2.8 introduces minor incompatibilities with previous versions. Alias expansion, dns lookups, TLS support, milters and other features are affected. To avoid surprises, carefully review the RELEASE_NOTES. If you upgrade from Postfix 2.6 or earlier, you must execute "postfix stop" and "postfix start" before you can use the postscreen(8) daemon. This is needed because the Postfix 2.6 "pass" master service type did not work reliably on some systems. If you upgrade from Postfix 2.7, or from Postfix 2.8 before July 25, 2010, you must "postfix reload" (or "postfix stop" followed by "postfix start"). This is needed because the queue manager to delivery agent protocol has changed. Also note that the optional SPF and VDA patches have not been updated for Postfix 2.8; as a result, they are currently disabled. 20110111: AFFECTS: users of www/redmine AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org If you use 3rd party plugins that are incompatible with i18n >= 0.5.0 (eg. variables in yml files as {{variable}}) then you need to install an older i18n version manually. # gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n Then upgrade the database as usual: # rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production 20110107: AFFECTS: users of mail/exim AUTHOR: rea@FreeBSD.org [POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] The default value for system_filter_user is now the Exim run-time user, instead of root. [POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is no longer optional and is forced on. This is mitigated by the new build option TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST which defines a list of configuration files which are trusted; one per line. If a config file is owned by root and matches a pathname in the list, then it may be invoked by the Exim build-time user without Exim relinquishing root privileges. [POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] The Exim user is no longer automatically trusted to supply -D overrides on the command-line. Going forward, we recommend using TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST with shim configs that include the main config. As a transition mechanism, we are temporarily providing a work-around: the new build option WHITELIST_D_MACROS provides a colon-separated list of macro names which may be overriden by the Exim run-time user. The values of these macros are constrained to the regex ^[A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*$ (which explicitly does allow for empty values). Upgrading users are encouraged to fully study ftp://exim.inode.at/exim/ChangeLogs/NewStuff-4.73 and ftp://exim.inode.at/exim/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-4.73 20110103: AFFECTS: users of textproc/libwpd and graphics/libwpg AUTHOR: fluffy@FreeBSD.org LibWPD and LibWPG is now using new API, partially incompatible with previous versions. For correct upgrade procedure please upgrade LibWPD and LibWPG first as described, than follow usual upgrade procedure # portmaster -o textproc/libwpd08 libwpd # portmaster -o graphics/libwpg01 libwpg substitute 'portupgrade' for 'portmaster' accordingly if that's your your upgrade tool of choice. 20101230: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|client) AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org PostgreSQL version 8.4 is now the default. To upgrade from a version lower than 8.4, follow the instructions on the PostgreSQL.org website. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/install-upgrading.html 20101230: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/pnp AUTHOR: rea@FreeBSD.org Starting from 0.6.10_1 config.php is no longer preserved across upgrades; PNP way is to put all modifications into config_local.php. Existing config.php will be saved as config.php.orig and you should review your deviations from defaults and place them into config_local.php. 20101227: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org MySQL 5.5 has been updated to 5.5.8 GA release. Since layout is changed you should remove mysql55-{client/server/scripts} ports before upgrading. The build system is changed too, so expect failures. 20101227: AFFECTS: users of security/opensc AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org opensc has been updated to 0.12.0 release. Only one backend can be choosen at compile-time: PC/SC is now the default one. opensc doesn't export anymore its internal library, PKCS#11 is the recommended interface. 20101220: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/flowd AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org flowd use now a fix UID/GID (id 542) instead the next free UID. Before updating the port use the command "pw userdel _flowd" 20101216: AFFECTS: users of security/libksba AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org libksba has been updated to 1.1.0, and the shared library version has increased from .17 to .18. Directly- and indirectly-dependent ports have had their PORTREVISION bumped to facilitate rebuilding. Please rebuild the dependent ports with your preferred upgrading tool: # portupgrade -rf security/libksba -or- # portmaster -w -r security/libksba If there are still ports on your system that require ksba.so.17 (either in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg, or non-existent), _please_ file a PR so that a correct direct dependency can be added. Once you are satisfied that no ports still depend on the old shared library version (libksba.so.17), you can safely delete it from the ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg directory if it is present there. 20101216: AFFECTS: users of databases/akonadi AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org With SQLite 3 installed, Akonadi used to build its plugin and install it in a wrong place, without it being listed in plist. To remove the orphaned file, run the following commands PRIOR TO the Akonadi upgrade: # cd /usr/ports/databases/akonadi # rm `make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL`/sqldrivers/libqsqlite3.so # rmdir `make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL`/sqldrivers \ `make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL` \ `make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_LIBDIR_REL` 20101214: AFFECTS: users of devel/icu AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org icu has been updated to version 4.6. Please rebuild all ports that depends on it. If you use portmaster: # portmaster -r icu If you use portupgrade: # portupgrade -fr devel/icu Note that devel/icu4 is now deprecated consider replacing it by devel/icu # portmaster -o devel/icu devel/icu4 or # env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o devel/icu -f icu-4\* 20101211: AFFECTS: users of devel/bugzilla, japanese/bugzilla and russian/bugzilla-ru AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org Bugzilla and its language packs are installed to WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/www/bugzilla). BUGZILLADIR (that defaulted to PREFIX/www/data/bugzilla) is deprecated. 20101211: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-proxy AUTHOR: Florian Smeets The parameters --admin-username and --admin-password are mandatory now. Add something like the following to rc.conf mysql_proxy_args="--admin-username admin --admin-password somepassword" 20101210: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/avidemux2 AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org The port has been updated to 2.5.4 which now installs plugins separately and I had to make a slave port for them, multimedia/avidemux2-plugins. So you'll now have to install that port too for the app to become useful. 20101208: AFFECTS: autotools AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org Another stage in the autotools cleanup that reduces tree churn whilst updating components, a number of ports have now moved to non-versioned locations since there is now only the concept of legacy and current versions. # portmaster -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268 # portmaster -o devel/automake devel/automake111 # portmaster -o devel/libtool devel/libtool22 # portmaster -o devel/libltdl devel/libltdl22 substitute 'portupgrade' for 'portmaster' accordingly if that's your your upgrade tool of choice. 20101205: AFFECTS: users of www/py-flexget AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org Database schema changes. Please run: $ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE thetvdb_favorites ADD series_id VARCHAR;" $ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE imdb_movies ADD updated DateTime;" $ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE imdb_movies ADD mpaa_rating VARCHAR;" inside flexget configuration directory (~/.flexget) for each sqlite database you might have. Replace "db-config.sqlite" with the appropriate name for your sqlite database file. 20101204: AFFECTS: users of audio/libmpcdec AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org audio/libmpcdec has been removed in favor of audio/musepack; which has a higher shared library version. You will have to rebuild all ports that depend on audio/libmpcdec. Do this: Portmaster users: # portmaster -o audio/musepack audio/libmpcdec # portmaster -r musepack- Portupgrade user: # env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o audio/musepack -f libmpcdec-\* # pkgdb -Ff # portupgrade -rf musepack-\* 20101204: AFFECTS: autotools AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org The next stage in the ongoing cleanup of autotools-using ports is a refactoring of bsd.autotools.mk so that version numbers are no longer needed within the USE_AUTOTOOLS stanza. There is either autoconf213/autoconf or automake14/automake (for the legacy versions, and the currently available versions). This will considerably reduce the amount of tree-wide patching in future on an update. IMPORTANT: if you have either devel/autoconf-wrapper or devel/automake-wrapper installed on your system (and you most likely do) PLEASE update these ports to their new versions before updating anything else -- Bad Things[tm] are likely to happen otherwise. 20101202: AFFECTS: users of multmidia/gstreamer-plugins AUTHOR: multimedia@FreeBSD.org If during the upgrade of gstreamer-plugins the following error happens: GstAudio-0.10.gir: Incompatible version 1.0 (supported: 1.2) Use the following command to upgrade: cd ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins && make deinstall clean install 20101202: AFFECTS: users of www/wordpress AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org WordPress is now installed to WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/wordpress) instead of WORDPRESS (defaults to PREFIX/www/data/wordpress). 20101129: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/radmind AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org The radmind user and group is created automatically during installation. The owner of $RADMIND_BASE_DIR changes from root to radmind. 20101128: AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk, net/asterisk-addons AUTHOR: Florian Smeets If you want to upgrade to 1.8.0 first remove asterisk-addons by running # pkg_delete -f asterisk-addons\* after that you can run one of the following # portmaster asterisk or # portupgrade asterisk You need to update your config files as the step from 1.4.x to 1.8.x is quite big. First you need to look at what changed between 1.4 and 1.6 http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8/UPGRADE-1.6.txt After that you also need to take into account what chagne between 1.6 and 1.8 http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8/UPGRADE.txt If you want to stay with asterisk 1.4.x please run # portmaster -o net/asterisk14 net/asterisk # portmaster -o net/asterisk14-addons net/asterisk-addons or # portupgrade -o net/asterisk14 net/asterisk # portupgrade -o net/asterisk14-addons net/asterisk-addons 20101127: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix, mail/postfix2[56] AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org As of Postfix 2.7.2, 2.6.8, 2.5.11: Postfix no longer automatically appends the system default CA (certificate authority) certificates, when it reads the CA certificates specified with {smtp, lmtp, smtpd}_tls_CAfile or with {smtp, lmtp, smtpd}_tls_CApath. This prevents third-party certificates from getting mail relay permission with the permit_tls_all_clientcerts feature. Unfortunately, this change may cause compatibility problems with configurations that rely on certificate verification for other purposes. To get the old behavior, specify "tls_append_default_CA = yes". 20101124: AFFECTS: users of www/py-flexget AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org metainfo_series is no longer a builtin. This should only affect you if you aren't using one of the series plugins (series, all_series, thetvdb_favorites, or series_premiere.) If you need to enable metainfo_series manually for a feed it can be done like so: metainfo_series: yes 20101120: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/gtk20 and x11-toolkits/gtkmm24 AUTHOR: FreeBSD GNOME Team In the GNOME 2.32 release. gdk-pixbuf2 has been split off from gtk20, and atkmm has been split off from gtkmm24. To upgrade please use the following instructions: Portmaster users: # pkg_delete -f gtkmm-2.20\* gtk-2.20\* # portmaster -a Portupgrade users: # pkgdb -fF # pkg_deinstall -fO gtkmm-2.20\* gtk-2.20\* # portupgrade -aOW 20101118: AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs-devel AUTHOR: Ashish SHUKLA Due to a bug when upgrading from 24.0.50.101606, everything installed by other ports in "${PREFIX}/share/emacs" gets removed. Before upgrading: * Please backup custom configurations in "${PREFIX}/share/emacs". * After upgrading reinstall any ports that may have had files in the "${PREFIX}/share/emacs" directory. Apologies for this inconvenience. 20101117: AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/transmission-cli and net-p2p/transmission-gtk AUTHOR: Mezz Transmission has been updated to 2.12. The following name of binaries and manpages have been renamed: transmissioncli -> transmission-cli transmission -> transmission-gtk 20101117: AFFECTS: users of devel/ccache AUTHOR: Emanuel Haupt Updated instructions on how to workaround a buildworld failure have been committed. Please (re)read the following document after updating ccache to 3.1.1_1: /usr/local/share/doc/ccache/ccache-howto-freebsd.txt 20101110: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-server AUTHOR: Alex Dupre If you are upgrading from a previous MySQL release, the server will exit during startup after finding that the proxies_priv table is missing. To create the table, start the server with the --skip-grant-tables option to cause it to skip the normal grant table checks, then run mysql_upgrade. Then stop the server and restart it normally. You can do this by temporarly setting the following line in rc.conf: mysql_args="--skip-grant-tables --skip-networking" 20101108: AFFECTS: users of databases/py-bsddb3 AUTHOR: wen@FreeBSD.org py-bsddb3 update to 5.1.0. This release drops support for Berkeley DB 4.1, and adds support for Berkeley DB version 5.1, brand new. If you need Berkeley DB 4.1 support, keep using pybsddb 5.0.0. If you want support for Berkeley DB 5.1, remember to install the BDB library before installing these bindings. 20101030: AFFECTS: users of www/xshttpd-devel AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org The default XS-httpd configuration file locations have changed: The main configuration file is now $PREFIX/etc/xshttpd/httpd.conf and other configuration file are stored in that same directory. Existing configurations should be moved over manually. Log files now appear in /var/log/xshttpd/ by default. 20101029: AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portmaster AUTHOR: Doug Barton The changes to bsd.port.mk in 1.652 require all portmaster users to upgrade to version 3.1 or later. The best method to do this will be to use the port, rather than portmaster itself: # pkg_delete -f portmaster\* # cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster && make clean && make install clean 20101026: AFFECTS: users of net/samba35 AUTHOR: Timur Bakeyev This is the latest stable release of the Samba3 distribution. It has been extended with the experimental support of the NFS4-like ACLs on ZFS partitions, thanks to the sysutils/libsunacl library by Edward Tomasz Napierala(trasz). This support haven't been tested thoroughly, so try it on your own risk. This port reverted back to the pre- net/samba34 layout of the directories and now they are again $PREFIX/etc/samba, /var/run/samba, /var/log/samba, /var/db/samba and /var/spool/samba respectively. In case, you are upgrading from net/samba34, please rename corresponding samba34/ subdirectories into samba/ ones. Upgrades from older versions of Samba and fresh installations should be seamless. 20101015: AFFECTS: users of devel/llvm-devel who use clang AUTHOR: Brooks Davis The clang portion of devel/llvm-devel has been split out and now resides in lang/clang-devel. If you have devel/llvm-devel installed in order to use clang, you will need to install the clang-devel port when upgrading. 20101003: AFFECTS: users of www/typo3 AUTHOR: Helmut Schneider www/typo3 has been repocopied to www/typo343. If you need to continue with the old stable version please run # portmaster -o www/typo343 www/typo3 or # portupgrade -o www/typo343 www/typo3 Please remember to change the path of your config files too. 20101003: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/kismet AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org This update includes major changes in how Kismet works and is configured. Clients, servers, drones, and configuration files must be updated to work with the new version. Map support has not yet been added. See the kismet README for details. 20100929: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/zfsnap AUTHOR: Aldis Berjoza Since timestamp format changed you need to use -o option with -d option in order to be able to delete old snapshots. Note however that you don't need -o when creating new snapshots, unless you want to keep using the old timestamp format. See http://wiki.bsdroot.lv/zfsnap for more info. 20100927: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org Incompatibility with snapshot 20100912 ====================================== - If your DNSBL queries have a "secret" in the domain name, you must now censor this information from the postscreen(8) SMTP replies. - The postscreen "continue" action is now called "ignore". The old name is still supported but no longer documented. - The postscreen_hangup_action parameter was removed. Postscreen now always behaves as if "postscreen_hangup_action = drop". - The postscreen_cache_retention_time default was increased from 1d to 7d, to avoid deleting results from expensive deep SMTP protocol tests too quickly. Incompatibility with snapshot 20100827 ====================================== - The Postfix SMTP client no longer appends the local domain when looking up a DNS name without ".". Specify "smtp_dns_resolver_options = res_defnames" to get the old behavior, which may produce unexpected results. 20100924: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org nvidia-driver does not install vdpau library and headers anymore, they are now provided by multimedia/libvdpau port. To avoid conflict, please rebuild nvidia-driver port before upgrading your ports and before installing multimedia/libvdpau. 20100921: AFFECTS: users of p5-Compress-Zlib, p5-IO-Compress-* AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org The p5-Compress-Zlib, p5-IO-Compress-Base, p5-IO-Compress-Zlib and p5-IO-Compress-Bzip2 ports have been replaced by p5-IO-Compress. Users of Perl 5.10 and higher do not need to install this module because it is already included in the standard perl distribution. 20100920: AFFECTS: users of security/stunnel AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org In stunnel-4.34, the DH support is no longer configurable by the user, but always enabled when OpenSSL supports it instead. This means that it will now most probably be enabled on the supported versions of FreeBSD. If this leads to problems with old SSL clients, I will look into making it configurable at build time again. 20100917: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cdrtools-cjk AUTHOR: marius@FreeBSD.org sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port has been removed, as the required functionality is now available in cdrtools 3.0.0 in the standard sysutils/cdrtools port. 20100915: AFFECTS: autoconf, automake AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org autoconf has been updated from 2.62 to 2.67 -- all ports depending on autoconf-2.62 have had their PORTREVISIONs update, so a standard port updating method will suffice. USE_GETTEXT has been extended to also accept 'build' and 'run' for ports which need devel/gettext as a BUILD- or RUN-time dependency only. No port should now be directly depending on devel/gettext in Makefiles. 20100915: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cdrtools-cjk AUTHOR: marius@FreeBSD.org Version 3.00 of sysutils/cdrtools breaks but at the same time also obsoletes sysutils/cdrtools-cjk as mkisofs now employs iconv for character conversion. Consequently sysutils/cdrtools-cjk is marked BROKEN and the use of USE_CDRTOOLS=cjk as well as USE_CDRTOOLS together with the WITH_CJK knob left in a broken state until bsd.port.mk is updated by portmgr@ accordingly. Once USE_CDRTOOLS is updated to no longer refer to sysutils/cdrtools-cjk the latter will be removed. Previous users of sysutils/cdrtools-cjk should switch to using sysutils/cdrtools instead, which might require not using the WITH_CJK knob until said update of bsd.port.mk has happened. 20100915: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12 AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.12 has been updated to 5.12.2. You should update everything that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use "perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.12. Please see its manual page for details. If you want to switch to lang/perl5.12 from lang/perl5.{8,10} please follow instructions in the entry 20100715 in this file. 20100912: AFFECTS: ftp/curl AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org With version 7.21.1, the cURL port is built with stricter compiler checking by default (the -Werror flag is passed to the C compiler, making it treat any warnings as fatal errors). If you experience problems building cURL, re-run "make config" in the ftp/curl directory and disable the WERROR knob. 20100912: AFFECTS: www/tdiary-devel, japanese/tdiary-devel AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org The stable tDiary ports, www/tdiary and japanese/tdiary, have been updated to 3.0.0. The development versions of tDiary have been merged from www/tdiary-devel to www/tdiary and from japanese/tdiary-devel to japanese/tdiary, respectively. If you have been using the www/tdiary-devel or japanese/tdiary-devel, you run one of the following commands to upgrade: - www/tdiary-devel # portmaster -o www/tdiary www/tdiary-devel or # portupgrade -o www/tdiary www/tdiary-devel - japanese/tdiary-devel # portmaster -o japanese/tdiary japanese/tdiary-devel or # portupgrade -o japanese/tdiary japanese/tdiary-devel Before upgrading, please read the following for more details: http://www.tdiary.org/20100828.html (written in Japanese) 20100907: AFFECTS: sysutils/pecl-fileinfo AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org If you are using php 5.3 (lang/php5) and fileinfo extension, you should switch to sysutils/php5-fileinfo port: portmaster -o sysutils/php5-fileinfo sysutils/pecl-fileinfo 20100904: AFFECTS: net/netcat AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org Rename nc to netcat to prevent /usr/bin/nc shadowing /usr/local/bin/nc 20100902: AFFECTS: users of KDE4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE SC ports has been updated to 4.5.1. A number of files were moved between packages, manual intervention into update procedure is required: # pkg_delete -f kdehier4\* kdelibs-4\* kdebase-4\* kdebase-runtime-4\* kdebase-workspace-4\* # rm -rf /usr/local/kde4/share/PolicyKit/policy # cd /usr/ports/misc/kdehier4 && make install clean # portmaster -a 20100901: AFFECTS: users of www/rubygem-rails AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org Rails has been updated to 3.0.0. As always, make sure you check the changes at http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/. 20100817: AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org The modules mod_geoip and mod_h264_streaming have been moved into slave ports: www/lighttpd-mod_geoip and www/lighttpd-mod_h264_streaming 20100818: AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org The default lighttpd configuration file locations have changed. The main configuration file is now: $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and includes other configuration files from $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/ For compatibility with old-style configurations, if the lighttpd_conf variable is not set in /etc/rc.conf, $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd.conf takes precedence over $PREFIX/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 20100815: AFFECTS: users of databases/redis and databases/redis-devel AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org The redis configuration file, redis.conf, have been changed, some options removed in newer versions (>=2.0). In some cases, redis-server with older configuration might does not run at startup. If you run into startup problems, re-edit configuration file. 20100813: AFFECTS: www/opera AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org If you run opera without gtk or kde4, the browser might crash on shutdown. In this case go to about:config and change "Dialog Toolkit" from 0 to 4. 20100811: AFFECTS: multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2, which is not maintained upstream, has been replaced with new port, multimedia/mp4v2. The shared library version has been changed with this update, thus all ports that depends on mp4v2 library must be rebuilt: portmaster -o multimedia/mp4v2 multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 portmaster -a 20100731: AFFECTS: users of devel/ccache AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org Users upgrading from 2.4 release should clear the old cache directory with: # ccache --clear 20100730: AFFECTS: users of www/neon28 and www/neon29 AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org Makes neon29 our default neon library in the ports tree. The www/neon28 has been removed and www/neon29's shared library version has been changed. You will have to rebuild all ports that depend on www/neon29. Do this: Portmaster users: portmaster -o www/neon29 www/neon28 portmaster -r neon29- Portupgrade user: env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o www/neon29 -f neon28-\* pkgdb -Ff portupgrade -rf neon29-\* 20100728: AFFECTS: users of textproc/nltk AUTHOR: clsung@FreeBSD.org Nltk has been upgraded to 2.0b8 which depends on devel/py-yaml now. You need to deinstall nltk before upgrading, since the previous port will delete files installed from py-yaml during its deinstall phase. Use, for example: # pkg_delete nltk-2.0b7,1 # portsnap fetch update # cd /usr/ports/textproc/nltk/ # make install clean 20100727: AFFECTS: users of security/libgcrypt AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org libgcrypt has been upgraded to 1.4.6 which has a shared library version bump. You need to reinstall all ports that depend on it. Use something like this: portupgrade -rf libgcrypt portmaster -r libgcrypt 20100722: AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq AUTHOR: Phillip The database schema and the format in which persistent messages are stored have both changed since the last release (1.7.2). When starting, the RabbitMQ server will detect the existence of an old database and will move it to a backup location, before creating a fresh, empty database, and will log a warning. 20100715: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl* AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.12 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example lang/perl5.10, that is: Portupgrade users: 0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety): pkgdb -Ff 1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.12): env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.12 -f perl-5.10.\* 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl: portupgrade -fr perl Portmaster users: portmaster -o lang/perl5.12 lang/perl5.10 Conservative: portmaster p5- Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill): portmaster -r perl- Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly. 20100626: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ibus-mozc AUTHOR: daichi@FreeBSD.org The japanese/ibus-mozc port has been updated to version 0.11.383.102, and separated into 5 ports to cope with upcoming new port japanese/scim-mozc. o japanese/mozc-server o japanese/mozc-tool o japanese/mozc-additions o japanese/ibus-mozc o devel/py-gyp-devel You can not upgrade with portupgrade or portmaster. To upgrade, you must deinstall japanese/ibus-mozc first and then install the new japanese/ibus-mozc. For example: # pkg_delete ja-ibus-mozc-0.11.365.102_1 # portsnap fetch update # cd /usr/ports/japanese/ibus-mozc/ # make install clean 20100617: AFFECTS: users of security/{dirmngr|gnupg} AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org The security/libassuan port has been updated to version 2.0.0, and the applications listed above have been updated to use it as of versions 1.1.0 and 2.0.15 respectively. If you HAVE NOT updated your libassuan port as described in the 20100613 entry, you can simply update all 3 ports together (libassuan, dirmngr if installed, and gnupg) using your normal upgrade path. If you HAVE updated to libassuan-1, then you need to do the following before upgrading dirmngr and gnupg. If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -f -o security/libassuan security/libassuan-1 If you use portmaster: portmaster -o security/libassuan libassuan-1 If you use neither: pkg_delete -f libassuan* Please note, libassuan version 2.0.0 is now a shared library, so unlike the previous version it is now a runtime dependency and cannot be deleted after you are done building dirmngr and/or gnupg. 20100613: AFFECTS: users of deskutils/kdepim4, and security/{gpa|opensc} AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org The security/libassuan port has been updated to version 2.0.0, however, the applications listed above are not yet compatible with it. Therefore security/libassuan-1 has been created until they can be updated, and the ports listed above have been updated to depend on it. You must first replace your existing libassuan with version 1 in the new location, then you can update the ports listed above normally. If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -f -o security/libassuan-1 security/libassuan If you use portmaster: portmaster -o security/libassuan-1 libassuan If you use neither: pkg_delete -f libassuan* 20100609: AFFECTS: users of audio/libogg and audio/libao AUTHOR: naddy@FreeBSD.org There are new versions of libogg (1.2.0) and libao (1.0.0) and the shared library versions have been bumped (ogg.6 to ogg.7, ao.3 to ao.4). All ports that have an identifiable direct dependency on these libraries have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped. However, some ports that pull in the libraries indirectly may continue to look for the old versions. To ensure that all are updated, perform this step: If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -rf libogg libao If you use portmaster: portmaster -r libogg libao 20100605: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-good and multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-bad AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org Certain plugins were moved from the -bad port to the -good port. Please follow instructions below before proceeding with normal update steps: If you use portmaster: portmaster gstreamer-plugins-bad If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -R multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-bad 20100602: AFFECTS: users of lang/mono AUTHOR: romain@FreeBSD.org Starting with Mono 2.6, the Moonlight compiler and assemblies are not installed by the lang/mono port anymore. They are however provided by the multimedia/moonlight port. If you are doing some Silverlight development, install multimedia/moonlight after updating lang/mono. 20100530: AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU) AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org Another version of gettext (0.18), and another shared library version bump (from intl.8 to intl.9), so: All ports that have an identifiable known direct dependency on gettext have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped. If after upgrading: # portupgrade -rf gettext # portmaster -w -r gettext The upgrade of devel/gobject-introspection may fail because it is looking for libintl.so.8. In this case, do the following: # cd /usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection # make clean # make deinstall # make install clean Then continue your upgrade procedure normally. If there are still ports on your system that are looking for libintl.so.8 (either in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg, or non-existent), _please_ file a PR so that a correct direct dependency can be added. Once you are satisfied that no ports still depend on the old versions (such as libgettextpo.so.4 and libintl.so.8) you can safely delete them from the ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg directory if they are present there. 20100524: AFFECTS: users of devel/darcs, ports-mgmt/porte, textproc/pandoc, x11/xmobar, x11-wm/xmonad, x11-wm/xmonad-contrib AUTHOR: pgj@FreeBSD.org The following ports have been renamed to improve consistency among Haskell Cabal ports: - devel/darcs -> devel/hs-darcs - ports-mgmt/porte -> ports-mgmt/hs-porte - textproc/pandoc -> textproc/hs-pandoc - x11/xmobar -> x11/hs-xmobar - x11-wm/xmonad -> x11-wm/hs-xmonad - x11-wm/xmonad-contrib -> x11-wm/hs-xmonad-contrib Please follow these steps below to update Haskell ports that you have installed: 1) Reinstall the renamed Haskell port dependencies (see previous entry). Note that this will possibly require that you remove the affected leaf (aforementioned) ports as well; 2) Reinstall the renamed application(s) you use. 20100524: AFFECTS: users of hs-* ports AUTHOR: pgj@FreeBSD.org The following Haskell ports have been renamed in order to bring them in sync with the naming scheme used at HackageDB. Please follow these steps below to update your installation: 1) Delete the following ports (if you have any of them installed): - hs-zip-archive-ghc - hs-binary-ghc - hs-language-c-ghc - hs-lazysmallcheck-c-ghc - hs-pcre-light-ghc - hs-utf8-string-ghc - hs-HGL-ghc - hs-digest-ghc - hs-haxml - hs-highlighting-kate-ghc - hs-polyparse-ghc - hs-x11-ghc - hs-x11-xft-ghc - hs-opengl-ghc - hs-OpenGLRaw-ghc - hs-OpenGLURaw-ghc - hs-glut-ghc 2) Rebuild the renamed ports and all ports that depend on them. 20100518: AFFECTS: users of devel/pylint AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org The pylint user configuration files have been changed slightly in newer versions (>=0.20.0). In some cases, older configurations might crash pylint at startup. If you run into startup problems, make sure you remove the .pylintrc configuration settings and the .pylint.d directory from your home directory: $ rm ~/.pylintrc $ rm -rf ~/.pylint.d 20100518: AFFECTS: users of devel/apr0, devel/apr1, www/apache20, www/apache22 AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org devel/apr port has been renamed to devel/apr1. WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS=yes for www/apache22 has been dissolved and may be removed from your configuration files; devel/apr1 is always used now. Please manually delete apache-2.\* if installed _before_ updating using either portmaster or portupgrade: pkg_delete -f apache-2.\* Then, if you use portmaster: portmaster -o devel/apr1 devel/apr If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -f -o devel/apr1 devel/apr Finally, reinstall Apache port if you deleted it earlier and update ports as usual (`XX' below is either 20 or 22): portinstall www/apacheXX 20100512: AFFECTS: users of www/apache20 AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org The rc.d script has been renamed: apache2.sh -> apache2 You'll need to update any crons wrappers, etc. for the new paths. 20100511: AFFECTS: users of KDE SC 4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE SC ports have been updated from 4.3.5 to 4.4.3. A number of libraries was moved between packages. The recommended update procedure is to delete kdelibs-experimental*, kdebase-4*, kdebase-workspace-4*, kdebase-runtime-4*, kdepim-4*, kdepim-runtime-4*, and then update ports as usual and install desired KDE4 ports: # pkg_delete -f kdebase-\*4\* kdepim-\*4\* kdelibs-experimental-\*4\* # portmaster -a (or portupgrade -aR) In order to enabled Nepomuk semantic desktop search you have to install databases/virtuoso (you don't need to manually configure or run virtuoso server). 20100511: AFFECTS: users of textproc/redland RDF engine AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org Redland RDF engine has been split into redland itself and rasqal engine. The recommended update procedure is to delete redland, then update ports as usual and install desired RDF ports: # pkg_delete -f redland-\* # portmaster raptor (or portupgrade -r raptor) 20100511: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/qt4-phonon, multimedia/qt4-phonon-gst, multimedia/phonon, and multimedia/phonon-gstreamer AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org WITH_QT_PHONON global knob has been introduced to allow selection between multimedia/qt4-phonon* ports (a bit outdated Phonon, which is shipped with Qt4) and multimedia/phonon* ports. Since KDE SC 4.4 requires fresh Phonon, multimedia/phonon* ports are installed by default. If you don't use KDE, you may set WITH_QT_PHONON=yes in /etc/make.conf and continue to use Qt4 Phonon implementation ports. If you want to use KDE SC 4.4 (or if you want the latest Phonon), do not define WITH_QT_PHONON, delete multimedia/qt4-phonon* ports, and install multimedia/phonon*: If you use portmaster: portmaster -o multimedia/phonon multimedia/qt4-phonon portmaster -o multimedia/phonon-gstreamer multimedia/qt4-phonon-gst If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -f -o multimedia/phonon multimedia/qt4-phonon portupgrade -f -o multimedia/phonon-gstreamer multimedia/qt4-phonon-gst 20100510: AFFECTS: users of security/gnome-keyring AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org libgnome-keyring was split out of the gnome-keyring package. Perform the following before doing your normal upgrade steps: pkg_delete -f "gnome-keyring-*" portmaster security/gnome-keyring or pkgdb -Ff portupgrade -R -x gnome-keyring -x libgnome-keyring gnome-keyring pkg_deinstall -fO gnome-keyring portinstall security/gnome-keyring 20100506: AFFECTS: users of mail/nullmailer on FreeBSD 6.X AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org The nullmailer port was recently updated with an rc.d script to correctly daemonize nullmailer-send with daemon(8). On FreeBSD 6.X, daemon(8) does not support "[-u user]" command-line switch, causing the nullmailer rc.d script failure to start nullmailer-send. Support for "[-u user]" command-line switch was recently MFC'd to 6-STABLE (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/146266). FreeBSD 6.X users should patch and install daemon(8) by one of the methods described below. If /usr/src is not yet populated, csup the 6-STABLE sources and run these commands: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/daemon make install /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nullmailer start If /usr/src is already populated with sources from a previous 6.X release, use these commands: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/daemon fetch 'http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/pr-links/daemon/patch-daemon.c' fetch 'http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/pr-links/daemon/patch-daemon.8' patch -p0 daemon.c < patch-daemon.c patch -p0 daemon.8 < patch-daemon.8 make install /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nullmailer start 20100502: AFFECTS: users of www/squid* AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org Starting with squid* the directory containing the default cache and log directory was changed from $PREFIX/squid/ to /var/squid/. The default values for the following Squid configuration parameters have changed as shown below: cache_log from $PREFIX/squid/logs/cache.log to /var/squid/logs/cache.log cache_store_log from $PREFIX/squid/logs/store.log to /var/squid/logs/store.log pid_filename from $PREFIX/squid/logs/squid.pid to /var/squid/logs/squid.pid coredump_dir from $PREFIX/squid/cache to /var/squid/cache Please check whether you need to define any of these variables in your squid.conf to the old defaults explicitly before updating, especially if you have set up automated log processing or automated log rotation. If you define pid_filename in your squid.conf, you should also set squid_pidfile to the same value in /etc/rc.conf, cf. $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/squid. 20100419: AFFECTS: users of math/libgmp4 AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The default gmp version in FreeBSD is now 5.0.x. The port directory changed from math/libgmp4 to math/gmp. An entry has been added to MOVED and all depending ports revisions have been bumped, so the update should be handled correctly by usual port management tools such as portupgrade. Portmaster users, please do the following before upgrading ports that depend on gmp: portmaster -o math/gmp math/libgmp4 20100409: AFFECTS: users of lang/php5 AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org As of PHP 5.3, a few extensions were removed from or included into the core PHP5 package. Follow the steps below to update your installation. 1) Delete the following packages (if installed): - php5-dbase - php5-ncurses - php5-pcre - php5-spl - php5-ming - php5-mhash 2) Rebuild lang/php5 and all ports that depend on it. 20100403: AFFECTS: users of net/dgd AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org The kernel library has been separated from the main net/dgd port into its own net/dgd-kernel port so that all libraries are on an equal footing. This also reflects the split of the kernel library out from the main DGD distribution. If you wish to continue to use the kernel library you'll need to install net/dgd-kernel after updating to dgd-1.4.1_2. 20100330: AFFECTS: users of gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-good AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org Plugin moved from the -bad port to the -good port. Please follow the instructions below before proceeding with normal update steps. If you use portmaster: portmaster gstreamer-plugins-bad If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -R multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-bad 20100328: AFFECTS: users of graphics/png AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org The PNG library has been updated to version 1.4.1. Please rebuild all ports that depend on it. If you use portmaster: make sure you update to portmaster version 2.20 or newer, then do: portmaster -r png- If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -fr graphics/png 20100221: AFFECTS: users of rblibtorrent-devel AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org The port name has changed to libtorrent-rasterbar-14.

You should delete all existing Bacula packages from your system before compiling Bacula 5.x, otherwise you'll encounter compilation errors. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-dir stop /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-sd stop /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bacula-fd stop pkg_delete 'bacula-*' After upgrading, remember to run the database upgrade script supplied with the port. 20100214: AFFECTS: users of japanese/roundcube AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org If you switch mail/roundcube to japanese/roundcube, please re-check configuration files like ${PREFIX}/www/roundcube/config/main.inc.php. At least, please add following settings: $rcmail_config['message_charset_languages'] = array('en_US' => 'ISO-8859-1', ... $rcmail_config['transfer_encoding_languages'] = array('en_US' => 'quoted-printable', ... See also: ${PREFIX}/www/roundcube/config/main.inc.php.dist 20100207: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox AUTHORS: beat@FreeBSD.org, mandree@FreeBSD.org (Java plugin) The www/firefox port has been updated to 3.6. From now on www/firefox will contain the most recent version of Firefox. Older but still supported releases will be available in www/firefox3 and www/firefox35. In order to update to Firefox 3.6 please delete your older installed version of Firefox first and install www/firefox afterwards. Please make sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 3.6 and backup your ~/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox 3.6. Note that in order to use Java with Firefox 3.6, you need to install java/openjdk6, build it with the "WEB" option enabled and use the Iced Tea plugin. To achieve the latter, each user needs to create a symlink to the Icedtea plugin as described in the Browsers/Firefox and Java[tm] Plugin section in the handbook: ln -s /usr/local/openjdk6/jre/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so \ $HOME/.mozilla/plugins 20100207: AFFECTS: users of Mesa3D libraries and x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org If you want to use Mesa3D 7.6.1 and libdrm 2.4.17 rather than 7.4.4 and 2.4.12, you must define WITHOUT_NOUVEAU global macro, at least, enabled on graphics/libGL*, graphics/libglut, graphics/dri, graphics/mesa-demos, and graphics/libdrm. And please give up using x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau. At this time, I cannot enable latest Mesa3D and libdrm, because they break xf86-video-nouveau. But old (current?) Mesa3D and libdrm do not break any drivers. AMD Radeon HD 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx users: If you use AMD Radeon HD [234]xxx series, please define WITHOUT_NOUVEAU global macro. You can then use OpenGL Hardware Accelerator feature on these series. 20100206: AFFECTS: users of net/samba4-devel AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org Default configuration file was moved to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/smb4.conf to avoid conflicts with the installed net/samba3?. Also, userland utils are not installed by default, which should also help with the parallel setup of Samba3 and Samba4. 20100205: AFFECTS: users of Qt 3 and KDE 3 AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org When building qt33 and kdelibs3 (at least), while they are installed, because of -L/usr/local/lib being passed too soon, the currently installed libraries are used instead of the ones from the build. This makes the build fail if you updated any of the libraries these Qt/KDE libraries are linked against (e.g. libjpeg). For the moment the workaround, when you get to this, is to move the old lib out of the way, e.g.: mv /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so.old && \ cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/ && make && \ mv /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so.old /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so && \ portmaster -C x11-toolkits/qt33 (or portupgrade -w qt-33\*) ... 20100205: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl* AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org Default version of Perl was bumped to 5.10. If you already have lang/perl5.8 installed, and want to switch to lang/perl5.10 please follow instructions in the entry 20090328 in this file. 20100205: AFFECTS: users of net/samba34 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org This port was developed with the generous help of Florent Brodin. The default passdb backend has been changed to `tdbsam'! That breaks existing setups using the `smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use `passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the `smbpasswd' backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. `pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam'. The `tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user settings like `profile path' or `home directory' and there are some commands which do not work with the `smbpasswd' backend at all. 20100130: AFFECTS: users of audio/sdl_mixer and graphics/sdl_image AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org The SDL_mixer and SDL_image libraries have new shared library versions. Please rebuild all ports that depend on them. If you use portmaster: portmaster -r sdl_mixer- portmaster -r sdl_image- If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -fr audio/sdl_mixer portupgrade -fr graphics/sdl_image 20100125: AFFECTS: users of audio/openal and graphics/openal-soft AUTHOR: mva@FreeBSD.org The default OpenAL implementation was switched to audio/openal-soft. To update all ports correctly, the following steps have to be performed. pkg_delete -f openal-\* If you use portmaster: portmaster -o audio/openal-soft audio/openal portmaster -r audio/openal-soft If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -ro audio/openal audio/openal-soft If you want to stick with audio/openal, please specify the following ports make flag within /etc/make.conf (or an appropriate configuration file for your ports): WANT_OPENAL=si 20100122: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/policykit and sysutils/polkit AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org Due to a recent change in sysutils/policykit, both sysutils/policykit, and sysutils/polkit need to be rebuilt, but in a certain order. First, upgrade sysutils/policykit to 0.9_6. Then, force rebuild and reinstall of sysutils/polkit. If you do not do this, applications which depend on polkitd will fail. 20100113: AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org Port has been renamed to emulators/virtualbox-ose to reflect that we are using the OSE version. A separate port for the kernel modules has been created: emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod. Please see http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox for update instructions. 20100107: AFFECTS: users of security/openvpn* AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org security/openvpn has been moved to security/openvpn20 and upgraded to 2.0.9. security/openvpn has been upgraded to 2.1.1, and security/openvpn-devel has been removed. Regular upgrades of the security/openvpn port should succeed without manual intervention, but if you want to stick to openvpn 2.0 or if you had been using openvpn-devel, manual intervention is needed, as follows: If you'd been using the security/openvpn-devel port, please use one of these commands for upgrading: portmaster -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn security/openvpn-devel portupgrade -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn security/openvpn-devel If you want to stick to openvpn 2.0, please use one of these two upgrade commands: portmaster -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn20 security/openvpn portupgrade -m-DDISABLE_CONFLICTS -o security/openvpn20 security/openvpn 20100106: AFFECTS: users of devel/websvn AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install directory for websvn has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/websvn to ${PREFIX}/www/websvn. If you are updating from a previous version, to preserve your settings and data, please do the following: mv /usr/local/www/data/websvn /usr/local/www Then update as usual. 20091227: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/grok AUTHOR: Wesley Shields The sysutils/grok port has been completely re-written. Configuration files will need to be reviewed. Also, the RC script has been removed until it can be made to work with the new version. 20091226: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/ndoutils AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org When upgrading you'll need to run ./upgradedb; see UPGRADING file. 20091214: AFFECTS: users of net/grdc AUTHOR: avl@FreeBSD.org Grdc has been renamed to Remmina upstream, and the port was also renamed to reflect this. After installing remmina port you will need to download the ``grdc2remmina.sh'' script and run it as your normal user(s) that have ~/.grdc. The script will only create ~/.remmina directory and move grdc config files to the new path; it does not affect anything else. $ fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~avl/script/grdc2remmina.sh $ sh grdc2remmina.sh 20091213: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/zabbix, net-mgmt/zabbix-agent AUTHOR: Jim Riggs In order to simplify configuration and better separate the different components of Zabbix, the former zabbix port has been split into three: zabbix-server, zabbix-proxy, and zabbix-frontend. Each component has distinct functionality and may be installed independently on separate systems. The existing zabbix-agent port remains. Additionally, the new zabbix-frontend port now (correctly) installs the PHP frontend in PREFIX/www/zabbix. The old zabbix port installed the files in PREFIX/share/zabbix/php. Web server configurations must be updated accordingly. Finally, Zabbix has been updated to version 1.8. Not everyone may be able to upgrade from version 1.6 immediately, though, so 1.6.8 versions of the ports are also available as zabbix16-server, zabbix16-proxy, zabbix16-agent, and zabbix16-frontend. 20091206: AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org The port has been updated to 0.11.1, which no longer enables kqemu by default (if built with KQEMU knob on), now you also have to explicitly pass -enable-kqemu (or -kernel-kqemu as with the previous versions) if you want to use it. Also note the 0.11 stable branch is the last qemu branch that still supports kqemu, so if you depend on reasonably fast emulation on FreeBSD you should start looking for alternatives some time soon. (VirtualBox?) 20091120: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfixadmin AUTHOR: Terry Sposato Due to a bug in the previous postfixadmin port, existing users need to backup their config.inc.php before they upgrade to postfixadmin-2.3 or later and put it in place after the upgrade is complete. 20091120: AFFECTS: users of security/f-prot AUTHOR: Tim Bishop The main f-prot command is now named fpscan. Virus definitions are updated using the fpupdate command. fpupdate will automatically run from periodic every day. To disable set the following option in /etc/periodic.conf: fpupdate_enable="NO" The f-prot port now only works on i386. 20091118: AFFECTS: users of java/jboss5 AUTHOR: Jonathan Chen The JBoss directory structure has been reorganised to follow hier(7) guidelines more closely; in particular, transient and deployment files were moved to /var/jboss5, thus allowing /usr to be read-only. 20091118: AFFECTS: users of www/redmine AUTHOR: Bernhard Froehlich After the upgrade you need to generate a session secret before restarting the application. This is to protect you from cross-site request forgery. From your Redmine directory, simply run the following command once: # rake config/initializers/session_store.rb then upgrade as usual: # rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production 20091114: AFFECTS: users of emulators/win4bsd AUTHOR: Mario S F Ferreira The new port now depends on emulators/kqemu-kmod instead of installing its own version. Therefore, you should make sure that no other kqemu.ko modules are installed: # pkg_delete -f win4bsd\* # rm -f /boot/kernel/kqemu.ko # pkg_delete -f kqemu-kmod\* # portinstall emulators/win4bsd Do not forget to enable kqemu on rc.conf since win4bsd will not work without it. 20091018: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql54-server AUTHOR: Alex Dupre After the upgrade the server may fail to start due to changes in the default values of innodb_log_files_in_group and innodb_log_file_size, which differ from those in earlier 5.4 releases. You should discard the old InnoDB log files and let MySQL 5.4.3 create new ones. It is necessary to shut down your current server cleanly so that no outstanding transaction information remains in the log. See here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.4/en/news-5-4-3.html 20091014: AFFECTS: users of mail/heirloom-mailx AUTHOR: Alexander Logvinov Since SourceForge switched to the new File Release System, mail/heirloom-mailx has wrong package name. All users who have mail/heirloom-mailx installed after 22 August 2009 should run the following commands: # pkg_delete "\-mailx-12.4_1" or # rm -r /var/db/pkg/-mailx-12.4_1 # rm -r /var/db/ports/-mailx # cd /usr/ports/mail/heirloom-mailx && make install clean 20090921: AFFECTS: users of archivers/lzmautils, archivers/lzmautils-devel AUTHOR: Christian Weisgerber The XZ Utils distribution has superseded LZMA Utils, so the xz port has been added and the lzmautils ports have been removed. To perform the move, run one of the following commands: If using portupgrade: # portupgrade -o archivers/xz lzmautils\* If using portmaster: # portmaster -o archivers/xz archivers/lzmautils or # portmaster -o archivers/xz archivers/lzmautils-devel as applicable. 20090919: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-postfwd AUTHOR: Sahil Tandon The recipient rate-limiting feature is now called via rcpt() command instead of with mrcpt() as in previous versions. Make sure to update your postfwd.conf if you use this feature. 20090917: AFFECTS: users of www/epiphany, x11/yelp, graphics/librsvg2, x11/toolkits/py-gnome-extras, and www/epiphany-extensions AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org The default Gecko provider has been changed from www/firefox to www/libxul. Firefox 2.x is now marked FORBIDDEN for security reasons, and libxul is new, stable, and preferred Gecko provider. Libxul uses the same Gecko engine as Firefox 3.0.x. Some ports may fail to upgrade or run when both www/firefox and libxul are installed on the same system. To make sure everything runs smoothly, uninstall www/firefox, then install libxul, then upgrade the affected ports. 20090915: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/gosa AUTHOR: Denis Shaposhnikov Please read the following: https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/wiki/DocumentationInstallingUpdatingGOsa before upgrading this port. And don't forget to check your slapd.conf because gosa scheme files were changed. Should you have any problems during LDAP migration step, try to restart your PHP process. 20090913: AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki AUTHOR: Henrik Brix Andersen In order to fix a performance bug, all wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to version 3.1415926. 20090912: AFFECTS: users of ports that have set USE_FORTRAN=yes AUTHOR: gerald@FreeBSD.org Ports that are built using the Fortran frontend of GCC (aka gfortran) will now use lang/gcc44 as the default compiler. 20090911: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.10 AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.10 has been updated to 5.10.1. You should update everything that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use "perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.10. Please see its manual page for details. If you want to switch to lang/perl5.10 from lang/perl5.8 please follow instructions in the entry 20090328 in this file. 20090910: AFFECTS: users of www/rubygem-rails AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org Rails has been updated to 2.3.4. As always, make sure you check the changes at http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/. 20090909: AFFECTS: users of gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-good AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org Due to the move of several plugins from gstreamer-plugins-bad to gstreamer-plugins-good, it is necessary to update gstreamer-plugins-bad first: portupgrade -R gstreamer-plugins-bad or, using portmaster: portmaster gstreamer-plugins-bad After this step, the normal upgrade procedure can be used. 20090831: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux-systemsimcell AUTHOR: stast@bsdportal.ru The port emulators/linux-systemsimcell has been updated to 3.1.25. Systemsimcell emulator now has a new dependency: x11-toolkits/linux-f10-blt. So you need to switch to linux-f10 ports in order to use 3.1.25 version. 20090828: AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot and mail/dovecot-sieve AUTHOR: yds@CoolRat.org dovecot-sieve has been updated to a new implementation compatible with dovecot 1.2.x. For details of what this means please refer to: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot#Migration_from_CMUSieve 20090827: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org www/mediawiki version is 1.15.1 now. 1.14.1 version was preserved as www/mediawiki114 port. 20090818: AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org GnuTLS has been updated to 2.8.3 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 20090816: AFFECTS: users of astro/celestia and KDE AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org Celestia can now be compiled with KDE3 frontend (you can enable it with CELESTIA_UI=kde when building). It is very feature-rich, as it offers contextual menus, toolbars, KDE integration, internationalization, bookmarks, etc. If you use Celestia and KDE as your desktop, you might want to rebuild the port so it integrates into your environment better. 20090815: AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org Dovecot has been updated to version 1.2.3. The configuration file has changed significantly. Please see http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.2 for details of what this means. 20090804: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon*, x11/kdebase4*, deskutils/kdepim4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE4 has been updated to version 4.3.0. KDE now uses qt4-phonon; multimedia/phonon and multimedia/phonon-gstreamer are deprecated in favor of their qt4 equivalents. You can still use multimedia/phonon-xine however. A number of files have been moved between packages. The recommended update procedure is to delete phonon, phonon-gstreamer, kdebase-*4*, kdepim-4*, then update ports as usual and install desired KDE4 ports: # pkg_delete -f phonon-4\* phonon-gstreamer\* kdebase-\*4\* kdepim-4\* # portmaster -a (or portupgrade -a) # cd ${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde4 && make config && make install clean 20090804: AFFECTS: users of devel/dbus-qt4, devel/qt4-designer AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org Qt4 ports have been updated to 4.5.2. The recommended update procedure is to delete qt4-dbus and qt4-designer, then update ports as usual. Install qt4-designer if needed. 20090802: AFFECTS: users of devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 ports have been moved to libtool22 and libltdl22, respectively, then updated to 2.2.6a. You will need to run portmaster or portupgrade to properly perform the upgrade: If using portmaster: portmaster -o devel/libtool22 devel/libtool15 portmaster -o devel/libltdl22 devel/libltdl15 If using portupgrade: portupgrade -o devel/libtool22 libtool-1.5\* portupgrade -o devel/libltdl22 libltdl-1.5\* After that, you will need to rebuild all ports that depend on libltdl. Since all dependent ports' PORTREVISIONs have been bumped, you can run portupgrade or portmaster with `-a' option to complete the upgrade. 20090801: AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau AUTHOR: rnoland@FreeBSD.org An updated libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau have been committed. These update the API version to 0.0.14 and if you are using DRM you will need to update your kernel patch. See pkg-message in xf86-video-nouveau for details. 20090730: AFFECTS: users of www/tomcat6 AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org Tomcat has been updated to 6.0.20 release and the installation directory is changed from apache-tomcat6.0 to apache-tomcat-6.0. Backup your configuration files before updating Tomcat, since the previous port will delete them on deinstall. 20090729: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/heartbeat AUTHOR: ports@encarnate.com Heartbeat has been upgraded to the 2.1.4 release. Older configurations based on version 1 should still work. Read more about the new features and possible configuration changes at the following URLs: http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Documentation (Configuration 0.6 Explained) http://www.linux-ha.org/GettingStartedRevisedV2 20090724: AFFECTS: users of www/rubygem-rails AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org Rails has been updated to 2.3.3. As always, make sure you check the changes at http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/. 20090720: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server} AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.17, which requires a shared library version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports that depend on it. Please do something like: # portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client or # portmaster -r net/openldap24-client 20090719: AFFECTS: users of graphics/jpeg AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org The IJG jpeg library has been updated to version 7.0. Please rebuild all ports that depend on it. If you use portmaster: portmaster -r jpeg- Or, if you would prefer a more gradual approach: portmaster -w jpeg- (Check the man page for more information) If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -fr graphics/jpeg 20090704: AFFECTS: users of www/yaws AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org The default configuration file path was changed to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/yaws in version 1.83. Please remember to update your configuration before upgrading. 20090628: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox3-devel AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org If your Firefox crashes with the following message while viewing a HTML5 page: "Bad system call (core dumped)" you need to load the sem module (kldload sem). To load sem module on every boot, put the following into your /boot/loader.conf: sem_load="YES" 20090624: AFFECTS: users of mail/crm114 AUTHOR: glebius@cell.glebius.int.ru The new version of crm uses a new format for css files. Old files should be rebuilt or started from scratch. If not done, crm114 will lose any mail processed via it. 20090620: AFFECTS: users of gstreamer-plugins-bad, gstreamer-plugins-good, and gstreamer-plugins-ugly ports AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org Due to the move of several plugins from gstreamer-plugins-bad to gstreamer-plugins-good and gstreamer-plugins-ugly, it is necessary to update update gstreamer-plugins-bad first: portupgrade -R gstreamer-plugins-bad or, using portmaster: portmaster gstreamer-plugins-bad 20090619: AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/transmission-daemon AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The UID/GID of transmission has been changed from 919 to 921. The data configure has been changed from ${PREFIX}/etc/transmission/home/.config to ${PREFIX}/etc/transmission/home. To update the UID/GID: # pw groupmod transmission -g 921 # pw usermod transmission -u 921 -g 921 20090618: AFFECTS: users of www/p5-Catalyst AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org Most applications and plugins should run unaltered on Catalyst 5.80. However, a lot of refactoring work has taken place, and several changes have been made which could cause incompatibilities. If your application or plugin is using deprecated code, or relying on side effects, then you could have issues upgrading to this release. http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.80005/lib/Catalyst/Upgrading.pod 20090617: AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org The GID of virtualbox has changed due to a conflict with databases/couchdb. Update GID of vboxusers after updating the port: # pw groupmod vboxusers -g 920 20090617: AFFECTS: users of math/fftw3 math/fftw3-long math/fftw3-float AUTHOR: db@FreeBSD.org The Fortran option has removed from fftw3 and moved into slave ports, math/fftw3-fortran math/fftw3-long-fortran and math/fftw3-float-fortran. 20090615: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment and x11-wm/enlightenment-devel AUTHOR: gahr@FreeBSD.org The development version of the Enlightenment window manager, a.k.a. E17, was moved from x11-wm/enlightenment-devel to x11-wm/enlightenment. The DR16 branch now resides in x11-wm/e16. 20090615: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mlt++ AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org The multimedia/mlt++ port was incorporated into multimedia/mlt since version 0.4.2. Delete multimedia/mlt++ first and then install/update multimedia/mlt. 20090613: AFFECTS: users of www/hudson AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org Hudson is now running as a standalone process and no longer relies on Apache Tomcat. As such, it should now be configured by defining hudson_* variables in rc.conf. See comments from rc.d script for further details. The default setup is using the same port numbers and HTTP URL prefix as before in order to reduce the effort of upgrading the port. Hence, it may conflict with some running Apache Tomcat instance. To fix this problem, you may either deinstall www/tomcat6, or use the following settings in hudson_args from /etc/rc.conf: --httpPort=??? --ajp13Port=??? 20090611: AFFECTS: users of www/apache22 AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org Two rc.d scripts have been renamed: apache22.sh -> apache22 htcacheclean.sh -> htcacheclean You'll need to update any crons wrappers, etc. for the new paths. 20090608: AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-* AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default version of Python has been changed from 2.5.x to 2.6.x. If you have 2.5.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python25 to lang/python26 with one of the following commands: If using portupgrade: # portupgrade -o lang/python26 lang/python25 If using portmaster: # portmaster -o lang/python26 lang/python25 If you want to retain 2.5.x as default Python version, set the PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' (without quotes) in /etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following command: # portupgrade -R python Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using the method 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. If using portupgrade: # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages If using portmaster: # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which). This is not the fault of portmaster. 20090606: AFFECTS: users of java/eclipse AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org The update to 3.4.2 changes the location of the metadata for eclipse to be more in line with what is used on other platforms. This means that after the update plugins that have been installed by a user with the built in Update Manager will need to be reinstalled. 20090605: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix AUTHOR: itetcu@FreeBSD.org Version 2.6.1 introduced a POLA violation by expecting aliases.db to be in /etc/mail/aliases.db (not /etc/aliases.db). With this version the location is reverted to the right place. If you updated your installation to 2.6.1 you need to run newaliases(1) again after you installed 2.6.2. 20090603: AFFECTS: users of japanese/font-mplus-ipa (and old japanese/ipa-ttfonts) AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org IPAUIGothic has been updated to a version included in IPA font version 002.03 and added as a separated port "japanese/font-ipa-uigothic". And the font-mplus-ipa has been updated to remove the old IPAUIGothic. Thus the old ipa-ttfonts is almost equivalent to font-ipa + font-ipa-uigothic + font-mplus-ipa. Note that these three packages have different licenses from each other. 20090601: AFFECTS: users of devel/cvs-devel AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org cvs-devel no longer installs /bin/cvs and /bin/cvsbug. These are now installed into ${PREFIX}/bin. If you wish to use these please be aware of this change with respect to your path. 20090531: AFFECTS: users of devel/viewvc AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org viewvc.conf and templates are not compatible to 1.0.x version, even the database scripts have changed. For details see: http://viewvc.tigris.org/source/browse/*checkout*/viewvc/trunk/docs/upgrading-howto.html 20090530: AFFECTS: users of Japanese and Chinese fonts AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org Ports for Japanese fonts have been reorganized in the following way: japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-mplus-ipa japanese/ipa-ttfonts -> japanese/font-ipa japanese/kochi-ttfonts -> japanese/font-kochi japanese/mplusfonts -> japanese/font-mplus japanese/sazanami-ttf -> japanese/font-sazanami japanese/shinonome -> japanese/font-shinonome japanese/umefont -> japanese/font-ume japanese/vlgothic -> japanese/font-vlgothic While basically these are port name changes for consistency, installation directories are also changed: font files -> ${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME}/* symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/{TTF,OTF,fontname,...}/* symlinks -> ${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts/{TTF,OTF,misc,fontname,...}/* A user-visible one is that the directory name "TrueType" is replaced with "TTF". Also, japanese/font-std and chinese/font-std have been added as standard fonts used in the Ports Collection. Currently they contain: std.ja_JP/Mincho std.ja_JP/Gothic std.ja_JP/Ryumin-Light std.ja_JP/GothicBBB-Medium std.zh_CN/STHeiti-Regular std.zh_CN/STSong-Light std.zh_CN/MSung-Light std.zh_CN/MHei-Medium under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/. They are just symlinks to corresponding font files. The symlink names are based on popular PostScript font names. Applications should refer the font files via XLFD or fontconfig first. If they need a direct reference to the font file, please use files in std.*/*. This is because direct reference to a specific font name in an application configuration file makes the maintenance difficult when the font file name is changed, for example. 20090516: AFFECTS: users of devel/viewvc AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org OPTION APACHE2 has been changed to APACHE (WITH_APACHE) WITH_APACHE2 is deprecated and is being removed. APACHE_PORT will be pulled in when WITH_APACHE is selected 20090516: AFFECTS: users of print/cups-base and portupgrade AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org The print/cups port has been split into multiple ports. If upgrading from 1.3.10_1 and below, you must remove the installed version first. 20090412: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula-server AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org sysutils/bacula-server now uses a new catalog format. If upgrading from the old version please use the update_bacula_tables script provided with the port before restarting bacula. 20090410: AFFECTS: users of www/trac-email2trac AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org bin/email2trac.py and bin/delete_spam.py are now installed without the .py extension to make the suid run_email2trac work and match the online documentation. If you were using them in scripts or alias entries, you will need to update paths accordingly. 20090401: AFFECTS: users of Fedora 8 Linux infrastructure ports AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org ATTENTION! Those ports are not default for any version of FreeBSD for now and may be used with FreeBSD versions 7.2 and above (8-CURRENT is better) using compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 and linux_base-f8. Please, note that 2.6.16 is not fully supported on 7.x (ex., some syscalls are missing and cannot be MFCed due to a native FreeBSD ABI breakage). For more information about transition please read item "20070327: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-fc6". That note may be used for upgrading to linux_base-f8 and Fedora 8 Linux infrastructure ports as well. If you want to switch to linux-f8 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8 20090328: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl* AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.10 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example lang/perl5.8, that is: Portupgrade users: 0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety): pkgdb -Ff 1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.10): env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\* 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl: portupgrade -fr perl Portmaster users: env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portmaster -o lang/perl5.10 lang/perl5.8 portmaster -r perl- Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly. 20090327: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org After version 0.95 clamav-milter does not accept parameters by command line. If you are using $clamav_milter_flags on rc.conf to set its parameters you will need to move to new ${PREFIX}/etc/clamav-milter.conf. 20090319: AFFECTS: users of shells/bash3 AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org With the addition of shells/bash version 4.x, people wanting to stick with bash 3.x should perform the following update: $ portupgrade -f -o shells/bash3 bash 20090318: AFFECTS: users of www/suphp AUTHOR: yzlin@cs.nctu.edu.tw The suPHP port has been upgraded to 0.7.x. This new version of suPHP has some new features and changes for the configuration file: - Multiple path (with patterns) & variable substitution support for docroots - Double-quoted strings at section '[handlers]' ex. application/x-httpd-php="php:/usr/local/bin/php-cgi" These changes may lead to internal server error if without modifications of the configuration file from previous version. 20090316: AFFECTS: users of www/geeklog AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org To follow the standards this port has received a small reworking. WWW_DIR (that defaulted to PREFIX/www/data/geeklog) is deprecated, use WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/www/geeklog). 20090316: AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd AUTHOR: skylord@linkline.ru ejabberd's UID and GID have changed (PR ports/105122). Users are advised to check all configuration files and data in /var/spool/ejabberd to ensure everything has the correct owner/group. 20090316: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/lire AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org Lire now requires DBD::SQLite, which uses SQLite 3.0. This means that the Lire database format has changed. If you have one or more old Lire stores, you will need to convert each of them from SQLite2 format to SQLite3 like this: $ sqlite oldstore.db .dump | sqlite3 newstore.db This assumes that you have both SQLite2 and SQLite3 installed on your system, and that the names of the command line interface for the old and new version are `sqlite' and `sqlite3' respectively (this is at least correct for Fedora). 20090310: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mythtv AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org The upgrade from version 0.20 to version 0.21 should be transparent. Any changes to the database structure should be applied automatically. However, it is strongly recommended that you back up your database before installing a new version of MythTV. For example: $ mysqldump -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg -c > mythtv_backup.sql To restore (assuming that you've dropped the database): $ mysql -u root mysql>create database mythconverg; mysql>exit $ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg < mythtv_backup.sql 20090309: AFFECTS: users of devel/libusb on CURRENT AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD libusb20 was renamed to libusb in r189585 and thus, being fully compatible with libusb20, replaces devel/libusb on HEAD. devel/libusb should not be used on these systems. Users of libusb-dependent ports are advised to remove libusb package from their systems, and rebuild all libusb dependencies. One of the possible ways to achieve this is listed below: # set tempfile=`mktemp /tmp/usbports.XX` # pkg_info -qR /var/db/pkg/libusb-* > ${tempfile} # pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/libusb-* # cat ${tempfile} | xargs portupgrade -f # rm -f ${tempfile} 20090309: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org multimedia/phonon port has been split into phonon itself, phonon-xine, and phonon-gstreamer backends. After updating phonon port you have to install at least one backend; phonon-xine backend is recommended for KDE. 20090308: AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org The port has been updated to 0.10.0, which now uses the newer (incompatible) kqemu-kmod-devel port that now also works for the 32 bit "qemu" executable on amd64. If you upgrade emulators/qemu with the KQEMU knob on, you have to # pkg_delete kqemu-kmod-1\* the old kqemu version first if it is installed. 20090304: AFFECTS: users of comms/py-gammu AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org The port comms/py-gammu was incorporated into comms/gammu since 1.23.0. Delete comms/py-gammu first and then deinstall/reinstall comms/gammu with option WITH_PYTHON_GAMMU=YES. 20090304: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4 AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org When upgrading from Xfce 4.4 to 4.6 make sure you uninstall the following ports: x11/libxfce4mcs sysutils/xfce4-mcs-manager sysutils/xfce4-mcs-plugins x11-themes/xfce4-icon-theme You may uninstall them before you start the upgrade procedure (preferred) or even afterwards when the upgrade went fine. Please also note that Xfce 4.6 does not come with an icon theme any more. Xfce 4.6 now depends on the Tango theme which is now installed by default. The default installation of Xfce is also adjusted to use this icon theme instead of the Xfce 4.4 standard Rodent theme. If you are upgrading from Xfce 4.4 to 4.6 you probably still have the Rodent theme selected. This will lead to several "missing" icons when starting up Xfce. Make sure to switch as well to the Tango theme. To do this just open the Settings Manager and select Appearance. Inside the Appearance dialog switch to the Icons tab and select the "Tango" entry in the list on the left side of the Icons tab. For enabling the Reboot/Shutdown functionality of Xfce's logout dialog please read the note which gets printed out after the installation of x11-wm/xfce4 about how to configure PolicyKit. 20090223: AFFECTS: users of Tcl/Tk AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org The default version of Tcl/Tk has been changed from 8.4 to 8.5. To restore old behavior and prefer using Tcl 8.4 with supported ports set WITH_TCL_VER=84 in /etc/make.conf. This has no effect on ports that have USE_TCL=yes or USE_TK=yes. They stick to the new default version and have to be updated by their maintainers to support other versions than default. 20090218: AFFECTS: users of www/zend-framework AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org A local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability was fixed in Zend Framework 1.7.5. The LFI was present in the Zend_View::render() method, and allowed inclusion of scripts with relative path names, e.g. "../../../my/script/dir/myscript.php". If the script path name is hard-coded into the application and is not generated by user input, the vulnerability does not apply. Because of this exception, the Zend Framework team has added a flag to disable the LFI protection in the render() method. Full details of the vulnerability, whether it applies to your application and how to disable the LFI protection in the render() method can be found here: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.migration.html 20090216: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server} AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.14, which requires a shared library version bump. Therefore you need to reinstall all ports that depend on it. Please do something like: # portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client 20090209: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon, x11/kdelibs4, x11/kdebase4*, deskutils/kdepimlib4, deskutils/kdepim4, devel/automoc4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE4 has been updated from 4.1.4 to 4.2.0. A number of applications have been moved between packages. The easiest way to avoid various problems during update is to delete all KDE-4.1.4 ports and install KDE-4.2.0: # pkg_delete -f kde\*4.1.4\* automoc4-\* # portmaster -a (or portupgrade -a) # cd ${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde4 && make config && make install clean 20090207: AFFECTS: users of devel/libslang and devel/libslang2 AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org devel/libslang has been removed in favor of devel/libslang2 after not being released during last five years. WITH_SLANG2 is no longer a valid ports KNOB. All ports that depend on devel/libslang should be recompiled, e.g.: # portupgrade -o devel/libslang2 devel/libslang 20090130: AFFECTS: users of www/httptunnel AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org The startup script has been converted to new rc.d style and split into two scripts: htc (client) and hts (server). Please check the scripts for how to set variables in /etc/rc.conf. 20090127: AFFECTS: users of gstreamer-plugins AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org The gstapp library moved from the gstreamer-plugins-bad package to gstreamer-plugins. It will be necessary to rebuild the gstreamer-plugins port. After updating your installed ports please do (if you are using portupgrade): # portupgrade -f gstreamer-plugins 20090127: AFFECTS: users of www/xpi-deepestsender AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org www/xpi-deepestsender has been updated to version 0.9.0. This version is *only* for Firefox version 3.x. 20090124: AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server, sysutils/hal AUTHOR: rnoland@FreeBSD.org sysutils/hal has been updated and should now properly detect mice for in X.Org. Use of AllowEmptyInput should no longer be needed for most users and moused should now work fine. 20090123: AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server AUTHOR: rnoland@FreeBSD.org If you are using an older xorg.conf several config lines are no longer needed and will generate warnings when X is started. RgbPath will cause X to fail to start, remove it from your config. Server 1.5.3 also really wants to configure its input devices via hald. This is causing some issues with moused and /dev/sysmouse. There are couple of options for how to deal with it: 1. Add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured kbd, mouse, and vmmouse sections from your xorg.conf 2. Don't use moused. If you want it to work with addon USB mice set this in rc.conf: moused_enable="NO" moused_nondefault_enable="NO" I'm working on fixing hald or the mouse driver or both. 20090123: AFFECTS: users of x11/libxcb AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org Libxcb shared library version was bumped from 1 to 2. You need to rebuild any consumer of libxcb.so.1 or some applications will be linked against two versions of libxcb once libX11 is upgraded. For portupgrade users: # portupgrade -rf libxcb 20090121: AFFECTS: users of devel/linux-glib2, emulation/linux_base-f4 AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org Glib2 now is incorporated to emulation/linux_base-fc4 (it has always been a part of more recent Linux base ports). All users should deinstall devel/linux-glib2 and then deinstall/reinstall emulation/linux_base-f4. 20090119: AFFECTS: users of mail/claws-mail, mail/claws-mail-smime AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The claws-mail port includes the S/MIME plugin itself now, it is not distributed as a separate plugin anymore. It can be enabled with the GPGME option in the port (disabled by default). If you use the S/MIME plugin, you should remove the mail/claws-mail-smime port before enabling GPGME and updating the mail/claws-mail port. People which already updated mail/claws-mail with GPGME enabled and a non-working S/MIME plugin need to deinstall mail/claws-mail-smime and reinstall mail/claws-mail. 20090118: AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/deluge AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The Deluge has been updated from 0.5.x to 1.x. The 1.x has been rewritten, so it is recommend for you to make the back up of your ~/.config/deluge. The configuration and plugins of 0.5.x do not work in 1.x. Deluge will picking up the old configuration and try to convert it to the newer format, but I wouldn't trust it to do it without the back up. If you prefer to stick with 0.5.x, you can use portmaster: # portmaster -o net-p2p/deluge05 net-p2p/deluge or if you use portupgrade: # portupgrade -o net-p2p/deluge05 net-p2p/deluge 20090118: AFFECTS: users of www/ikiwiki AUTHOR: brix@FreeBSD.org IkiWiki has been upgraded from 2.x to 3.x. Instructions for migrating existing IkiWiki configurations to 3.x format can be found at http://ikiwiki.info/tips/upgrade_to_3.0/. 20090118: AFFECTS: users of devel/apr-svn devel/apr AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org devel/apr-svn has been removed and devel/apr now handles its role. devel/apr now defaults to building with Berkeley database support (bdb) APR_UTIL_* tunables have been renamed to comply with ports/KNOBS names. 20090114: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase4-workspace, x11/kdebase4-runtime AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE4 has been updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.4. A number of files have been moved between packages. You should deinstall kdebase4-runtime package before updating: pkg_delete -f kdebase-runtime-4.1\* portmaster -a After successful update you could install kdebase4-runtime if it has not been installed during update process. 20090114: AFFECTS: users of GNOME and GTK+ AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.24.x. You have to deinstall a few ports first before using portupgrade or portmaster in order to successfully upgrade your GNOME installation. After successful upgrade, you have to reinstall gnome-session so the gnome.desktop session file is properly installed. Portupgrade users: # pkgdb -Ff (Answer "yes" to unregister gail while keeping gtk20.) (Answer "yes" to unregister fast-user-switch-applet while keeping gdm.) # pkg_deinstall -fO gtkmm-2.12\* # portupgrade -aOW # portupgrade -f gnome-session Portmaster users: # pkg_delete -f gtkmm-2.12\* # portmaster -a # portmaster gnome-session 20090113: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.9. You should update everything that depends 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. 20090112: AFFECTS: users of mail/claws-mail* AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org claws-mail has been updated to 3.7.0, with this update OpenSSL support has been removed by upstream in favour of GnuTLS. GnuTLS is now enabled by default. Themes were have also been split to an extra port which your can find under x11-themes/claws-mail-themes. Menu was rewritten entirely in version 3.6.0 using modern GTK interface; as a consequence, all your custom shortcuts will be lost after upgrade. 20090109: AFFECTS: users of any Mozilla and Opera products AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The Java plugins now will no longer be picked up by automatically from these browsers. Because all Java ports share the name of plugins file, I am thinking about someone or maybe me will need to write something similar to nspluginwrapper (but in shell script) that can add Java plugin in ~/.*/plugins/ when user requests one specific version of Java plugin if this user has more than one version of Java installed. However, for now, you will have to add Java plugin in ~/.*/plugins/ manually. 20090107: AFFECTS: users of databases/unixODBC AUTHOR: beech@FreeBSD.org The databases/unixODBC port has been updated to 2.2.14. While containing many bug fixes and minor feature adjustments, this version no longer ships with the (obsolete) MySQL ODBC driver. MySQL ODBC driver users will probably want to use databases/mysql-connector-odbc instead. The text-backed/flatfile driver (libtxtodbc) has also been removed by the developers but due to some demand may make a return in a future version or as a separate port. 20090107: AFFECTS: users of security/libgcrypt AUTHOR: rafan@FreeBSD.org libgcrypt has been upgraded to 1.4.3 which has a shared library version bump. You need to reinstall all ports that depend on it. Use something like this: portupgrade -rf libgcrypt portmaster -r libgcrypt 20090104: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server} AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.13, which requires a shared library version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports that depend on it. Please do something like: # portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client 20081230: AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq AUTHOR: pneumann@gmail.com The database schema has changed between RabbitMQ-1.4.0 and this release. When the RabbitMQ server detects the presence of an old database, it moves it to a backup location, creates a fresh, empty database, and logs a warning. 20081226: AFFECTS: users of www/rt38 AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org www/rt38 now respects the FreeBSD directory layout, see hier(7). With this change, p5-RT-* and p5-RTx-* should be much simpler to use in the ports collection. Please note that www/p5-RTx-Shredder is included in www/rt38. This port will be deprecated and removed. 20081228: AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org The setiathome client has been updated to version 6.03 and version 5.00 of the astropulse client has been added. Before you update, finish and report your current workunits to avoid losing them. The port now also includes the client screensavers. 20081228: AFFECTS: users of japanese/kinput2 AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The Wnn backend of japanese/kinput2 port now uses unix domain socket to communicate the server by default. If $JSERVER environment variable is defined, the value is used as the server host name. In In short, the server name is determined in the following way: $JSERVER --(if null)--> CcWnn.Jserver --(if null)--> "localhost" If the server host name is null or matches "^unix$", unix domain socket is used. Note that the default server name in CcWnn.Jserver is "unix" now. 20081226: AFFECTS: users of www/rt* AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org www/rt2 www/rt3 www/rt32 www/rt34 are now deprecated and will expire 2009-02-01. All ports now depend on www/rt38 If you can not update to www/rt38, www/rt36 is still around. 20081224: AFFECTS: users of www/phpSysInfo AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The www/phpSysInfo port has been split into www/phpsysinfo and www/phpsysinfo-dev ports. 20081217: AFFECTS: users of mail/policyd2 AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org The RC script for mail/policyd2 has been renamed to avoid a conflict. If you use this port please change the setting in rc.conf to be policyd2_enable. 20081211: AFFECTS: users of lang/php5 AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org, itetcu@FreeBSD.org, ale@FreeBSD.org As of PHP 5.2.7, pcre extension is distributed with the core PHP5 package, and not as a standalone module anymore. Follow the steps below to update your installation. Portupgrade users: pkg_delete -f php5-pcre-5.2.6 pkgdb -F portupgrade as usual Portmaster users: pkg_delete -f php5-pcre\* portmaster php5 If you are using pecl ports you might need to force an update on them: portupgrade -f pecl\* or portmaster pecl If you have the pecl hash, json and/or zip extensions you need to replace them with the PHP5 bundled ones, e.g.: portmaster/portupgrade -o archivers/php5-zip archivers/pecl-zip portmaster/portupgrade -o devel/php5-json devel/pecl-json portmaster/portupgrade -o security/php5-hash security/pecl-hash If you build your INDEX locally and you tried to build it after the PHP update commit, you need to rebuild it _after_ you updated lang/php5: cd /usr/ports && make index or (if you use ports-mgmt/p5-FreeBSD-Portindex): cd /usr/ports && cache-init && portindex -o `make -V INDEXFILE` 20081207: AFFECTS: users of games/mkgichessclub AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org After the update to the version 2.2.0, please, alter the SQL tables with the command: mysql _mkgichessclub_ < /usr/local/share/mkgichessclub/db_migrate_2.1_to_2.2.sql where _mkgichessclub_ is the database name chosen during the installation of the port. 20081205: AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/ktorrent AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org ktorrent has been updated to 3.1.5 for KDE 4. The last release of ktorrent for KDE 3 is available under net-p2p/ktorrent2. 20081121: AFFECTS: users of comms/smstools3 AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org The startup script of comms/smstools3 has changed. For increased security smstools now runs as user uucp / group dialer by default. The script commands like sendsms etc. should be executed as user uucp. To restore the old behaviour, set smsd_user="root" and smsd_group="wheel" in your /etc/rc.conf. Hint: use security/sudo for running smsd scripts as user uucp. 20081108: AFFECTS: users of editors/tamago AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The Wnn backend of editors/tamago port now uses unix domain socket to communicate the server by default. If $[CJKT]SERVER environment variable is defined, the value is used as the server host name. In JSERVER case, for example, the server name is determined in the following way: $JSERVER --(if null)--> wnn-jserver --(if null)--> "unix" If the server host name is null or matches "^unix$", unix domain socket is used. The path name of the socket can be specified in wnn-[cjkt]udpath custom variable. 20081105: AFFECTS: users of french/pluxm-devel AUTHOR: jadawin@FreeBSD.org Please, use http://download.pluxml.org/plugins/migration-blog-beta3x-beta4.zip to migrate. It's strongly advised to backup your blog before updating. 20081102: AFFECTS: users of devel/git AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org The location of git-shell has changed to ${PREFIX}/libexec/git-core/git-shell. Please remove the old entry from /etc/shells. 20081030: AFFECTS: users of japanese/FreeWnn-server AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The jserver daemon in japanese/FreeWnn-server port now uses "127.0.0.1" as the default listen address for security reason. If you need the wildcard address (INADDR_ANY), you have to explicitly set "listenaddr" to 0.0.0.0 in ${PREFIX}/lib/wnn/ja_JP/jserverrc or add "-a 0.0.0.0" to ${wnn_flags} in /etc/rc.conf. 20081026: AFFECTS: users of www/asterisk-gui AUTHOR: pneumann@gmail.com The upgrade to version 2.0 will modify your asterisk dialplan when login to the page. Hardware autodetection will not work, pending update of misc/zaptel. 20081028: AFFECTS: users of www/codeigniter AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org For certain installations, the following steps should be performed after the CodeIgniter 1.7.0 upgrade (taken from: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_170.html). >>> Update your Session Table If you are using the Session class in your application, AND if you are storing session data to a database, you must add a new column named user_data to your session table. Here is an example of what this column might look like for MySQL: user_data text NOT NULL To add this column you will run a query similar to this: ALTER TABLE `ci_sessions` ADD `user_data` text NOT NULL You'll find more information regarding the new Session functionality in the Session class page: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html >>> Update your Validation Syntax This is an optional, but recommended step, for people currently using the Validation class. CI 1.7 introduces a new Form Validation class (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/form_validation.html) which deprecates the old Validation library. We have left the old one in place so that existing applications that use it will not break, but you are encouraged to migrate to the new version as soon as possible. Please read the user guide carefully as the new library works a little differently, and has several new features. 20081026: AFFECTS: users of japanese/sj3-server AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The sj3serv daemon in japanese/sj3-server port now uses "localhost" as the default listen address for security reason. If you need the wildcard address (INADDR_ANY), you have to explicitly set "servername" to 0.0.0.0 in ${PREFIX}/etc/sj3/serverrc. 20081026: AFFECTS: users of japanese/Canna and japanese/sj3 AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The japanese/Canna and japanese/sj3 port have been split into japanese/canna-server and japanese/canna-lib, and japanese/sj3-server and japanese/sj3-lib, respectively for more fine-grained dependency management in the Ports Collection. 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! 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. The 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 by 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 that depend on it. Please do 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. In order to migrate your current configuration, you should 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. Note that 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.

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 misc/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 is 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.

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. $FreeBSD$
