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

AFFECTS: users of net/mldonkey-devel
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
MLDonkey port net/mldonkey-devel has been patched to work with
the updated lang/ocaml version 3.09. As a result, ocaml 3.09
is now a requirement. You have to follow the instructions for
updating your complete ocaml installation outlined below on
20051201 by burelle@lri.fr.
If you use the command below, everything should be fine.
$ portupgrade -n -fr 'ocaml*' 'mldonkey-*devel*'
20051210:
AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail using SSL encryption
AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org
Fetchmail now checks the validity of server certificates and complains
verbosely in maillog if the validation fails.
If your mail server's certificate is not signed by one of the root
authorities, you have to manually configure them using the following steps:
* Download the necessary certificates in PEM format and store them
at a suitable location, e.g. /home/user/.certs
* Run the c_rehash tool on the freshly installed certificates:
- If you are using OpenSSL from the base system (this is the default)
use the following command:
% perl /usr/src/crypto/openssl/tools/c_rehash /home/user/.certs
- If you are using OpenSSL from security/openssl please use
% c_rehash /home/user/.certs
* Use the following options to enable SSL encryption your .fetchmailrc
configuration file:
options ssl sslcertpath /home/user/.certs sslcertck
sslfingerprint '< fingerprint >'
< other options >
20051208:
AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent and net/py-bittorrent-core
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
Developer renamed most BitTorrent command line scripts:
* btdownloadgui.py -> bittorrent.py
* btdownloadheadless.py -> bittorrent-console.py
* btdownloadcurses.py -> bittorrent-curses.py
* btmaketorrentgui.py -> maketorrent.py
* btmaketorrent.py -> maketorrent-console.py
* btlaunchmany.py -> launchmany-console.py
* btlaunchmanycurses.py -> launchmany-curses.py
* bttrack.py -> bittorrent-tracker.py
* btreannounce.py -> changetracker-console.py
* btrename.py has been REMOVED, use maketorrent*.py
* btshowmetainfo.py -> torrentinfo-console.py
Check http://www.bittorrent.com/bittorrent_versions.html
20051207:
AFFECTS: users of {japanese,chinese,korean}/FreeWnn-*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
{ja,zh,ko}-FreeWnn-server now use the new rc.subr(8) framework
for their startup script. Note that to invoke each Wnn daemon at
boot time you have to set the following variables in rc.conf(5)
respectively:
wnn_enable
kwnn_enable
twnn_enable
cwnn_enable
20051203:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache2
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
www/apache2 port directory was renamed to www/apache20 to keep
consistency with other apache ports.
20051203:
AFFECTS: users of www/apache22 and any web apps porters
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
www/apache22 stop supporting ${LOCALBASE}/www/(data|error|cgi)(|-dist)
directory layout in favor of ${LOCALBASE}/www/apache22/(data|error|cgi).
FYI, ports layout may change soon.
20051202:
AFFECTS: users of www/plone and cmf oriented zope modules
AUTHOR: filippo.natali@gmail.com
www/plone has been updated to the latest 2.1.1 version. Some
zope modules are unfortunately incompatible with this version
of plone.
20051202:
AFFECTS: users of security/racoon and security/ipsec-tools
AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org
security/racoon has been removed. You should migrate to its
replacement, security/ipsec-tools. No configuration changes will
be required.
The default configuration file location has changed for ipsec-tools.
You will need to move your racoon configuration files to the new
location /usr/local/etc/racoon. Alternatively, add this line in
rc.conf to continue using the old location:
racoon_flags="-f /usr/local/etc"
20051201:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml
AUTHOR: burelle@lri.fr
Upgrade to 3.09.0 will break binary compatibility at link time, so any
librairy build with old versions should be rebuild in order to be
usable (standalone binaries do not require rebuild since they are
staticaly linked.)
20051129:
AFFECTS: users of devel/monotone
AUTHOR: lapo@lapo.it
Keys are now stored in ~/.monotone/keys/.
You must run 'db migrate' against each of your databases;
this will automatically migrate the keys.
Command line syntax for 'serve' has changed; please adjust
startup scripts accordingly.
See /usr/local/share/doc/monotone/NEWS for details.
20051123:
AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
A change has been committed against www/lighttpd, which flips the
meaning of the IPV6 option to match other ports, along with the
1.4.7 upgrade. If you have previously saved configuration that
checks the IPV6 option (meaning to disable IPv6), then you will
have to rerun the configuration with ``make config''.
The default setting for IPV6 build is kept, which was enabled by
default.
20051113:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xterm, x11/xorg-clients, x11/XFree86-4-clients
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
Xterm no longer installs with '-static' prefix. Users should upgrade
XFree86-clients to 4.5.0_1 or xorg-clients to 6.8.2_1 or newer before
attempting upgrade of xterm to 206_1 or newer. Previous versions remove
xterm on deinstall so CONFLICTS have been set accordingly.
20051105:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt33
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
If the compilation of qt fails due to uic segfaulting
(example:
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.5/bin/uic -L
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.5/plugins
listboxeditor.ui -i listboxeditor.h -o listboxeditor.cpp
*** Signal 11)
delete your old .qt directories:
rm -r ~/.qt /root/.qt
20051105:
AFFECTS: all users of gnome/glib/gtk
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
GNOME has been updated to 2.12 and gtk/glib to 2.8.
DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update your ports. Instead, use
the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh
20051104:
AFFECTS: users of www/trac
AUTHOR: rui@ruilopes.com
The Trac database schema was changed between versions 0.8 and 0.9. This
port also started to use PySQLite 2 (SQLite 3). Existing environments
must be upgraded before they can be used with Trac 0.9.
The canonical update procedure for existing trac environments is:
$ export TRAC_ENV=/path/to/trac/env
$ # backup existing trac environment
$ cp -Rp $TRAC_ENV $TRAC_ENV.backup # backup existing trac env
$ # convert database from sqlite 2 to sqlite 3 format
$ mv $TRAC_ENV/db/trac.db $TRAC_ENV/db/trac2.db
$ sqlite $TRAC_ENV/db/trac2.db .dump | sqlite3 $TRAC_ENV/db/trac.db
$ # upgrade trac environment
$ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV upgrade
$ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV resync
$ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV wiki upgrade
Consult the full upgrade instructions at:
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracUpgrade
20051013:
AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
www/mediawiki has now version 1.5. 1.4 version was preserved on
www/mediawiki14 port.
If you want to preserve your 1.4 installation, run this:
# portupgrade -o www/mediawiki14 -f mediawiki
20051013:
AFFECTS: users of mail/qmrtg
AUTHOR: mij@bitchx.it
Version 2.x marks a new generation for qmrtg and is no longer compatible
with configuration files from old releases.
Upgrading to 2.x version *requires* qmrtg (and possibly mrtg)
configuration files to be adjusted manually starting from the .dist file
included.
20051011:
AFFECTS: users of www/amphetadesk
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
www/amphetadesk can only be ran under a user with a valid home
directory since it stores its configuration information there.
20051010:
AFFECTS: users of games/py-slune
AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org
games/py-slune has been removed to add in games/slune to
reflect right name.
20051010:
AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The Ant launcher script now uses javavmwrapper to pick a suitable JDK. Hence
it is no longer needed to define JAVA_HOME for Ant to run. You may rather use
and combination of JAVA_VERSION, JAVA_OS and JAVA_VENDOR. See javavm(1) for
further information. However, you may still override this behavior using
JAVACMD.
The ANT_INCLUDE_SHARED_JARS variable used to be effective only when set to
"YES" (case sensitive). It is now a defined/undefined switch and thus will be
effective if defined, regardless of its value.
20051009:
AFFECTS: users of games/py-balazar
AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org
games/py-balazar has been removed to add in games/balazar to
reflect right name.
20051008:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/rdiff-backup, rdiff-backup-devel
AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/rdiff-backup has been upgraded to version 1.0.1. This
version is incompatible with the previous version. Users of
rdiff-backup will need to redo their initial seed.
rdiff-backup-devel has been removed. Users of rdiff-backup-devel
should now use rdiff-backup instead. In this case there is no need
to redo the initial seed.
20051006:
AFFECTS: users of net/smokeping
AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org
Smokeping has undergone a major upgrade to version 2.0.3. If you
are upgrading from versions 1.x, the manpage 'smokeping_upgrade'
may be of help. To verify the configuration file syntax, run
'smokeping --check'.
20051005:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/devilspie
AUTHOR: jylefort@FreeBSD.org
The configuration file format has changed. See
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/devilspie/README for more details.
20051002:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/py-wxPython26
wxPython 2.6 has been split into py-wxPython26, py-wxPython26-unicode
and py-wxPython26-common. Everyone should update to the new structure.
# remove previous installation
1) pkg_delete 'py24-wxPython*2.6*'
# update to new version
2) cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-wxPython26
3) make install clean
20050927:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot
AUTHOR: robin@isometry.net
Dovecot has been upgraded to version 1.0a3 that breaks down
backward compatibility with previous versions of dovecot.
For information about upgrading existing dovecot installations
one must consult with http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/UpgradingDovecot
20050923:
AFFECTS: users of www/b2evo
AUTHOR: chinsan.tw@gmail.com
Database schema changed. Rerun the installation script, which can usually
be found at http://your.site.com/b2evo/blogs/install
20050911:
AFFECTS: users of mail/libspf2, mail/postfix, mail/postfix21, mail/postfix-policyd-spf, mail/exim
AUTHOR: marcus@corp.grupos.com.br
Now version 1.0.4 of libspf2 has repo copied from mail/libspf2 to
mail/libspf2-10 and mail/libspf2 has updated to 1.2.5.
mail/exim depends on mail/libspf2 and mail/postfix, mail/postfix21
and mail/postfix-policyd-spf depends on mail/libspf2-10.
20050907:
AFFECTS: users of databases/metakit
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The metakit build now enables python support by default. Everybody who
was happy with their python-less metakit should begin specifying
METAKIT_WITHOUT_PYTHON=yes on build.
20050904:
AFFECTS: users of games/pvpgn
AUTHOR: mek@mek.uz.ua
sql_DB_layout.conf-sample: includes changes needed for the new "username" SQL
field; if you update to 1.7.8 YOU MUST update this file too if you have your
accounts on SQL
bnetd.conf-sample: changed "servaddrs" directive to not be totally commented
and be as ":" by default in bnetd.conf (if "servaddrs" is commented this
means "bnetd" will not listen for b.net services at all)
20050902:
AFFECTS: users of www/jakarta-tomcat55
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The port installs a new RCng startup script which no longer uses tomcat55ctl to
control the Tomcat daemon. Furthermore, the behavior of Tomcat may be
configured through switches and variables from /etc/rc.conf. They are
documented in the header of the RCng script:
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/jakarta-tomcat55.sh
20050902:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current
AUTHOR: marcus@corp.grupos.com.br
Now mail/postfix-current use OPTIONS menu instead of
POSTFIX_OPTIONS batch. Please run "make config" and
select your options in menu.
20050828:
AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent-devel and net/py-bittorrent-core-devel
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
Developer renamed most BitTorrent command line scripts:
* btdownloadgui.py -> bittorrent.py
* btdownloadheadless.py -> bittorrent-console.py
* btdownloadcurses.py -> bittorrent-curses.py
* btmaketorrentgui.py -> maketorrent.py
* btmaketorrent.py -> maketorrent-console.py
* btlaunchmany.py -> launchmany-console.py
* btlaunchmanycurses.py -> launchmany-curses.py
* bttrack.py -> bittorrent-tracker.py
* btreannounce.py -> changetracker-console.py
* btrename.py has been REMOVED, use maketorrent*.py
* btshowmetainfo.py -> torrentinfo-console.py
Check http://www.bittorrent.com/bittorrent_versions.html
20050804:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/kdeadmin3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
One data file has been moved from kdeadmin to kdelibs between
KDE 3.4.1 and KDE 3.4.2. This means that
*********if you currently have the kdeadmin port installed*********
you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE
installation.
We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you
to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo).
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports.
pkg_deinstall -f kdeadmin-\[0-9\]\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1.
portinstall -O kdeadmin
20050728:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/sge and sysutils/sgeee
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
A port of SGE 6 has been installed in sysutils/sge. SGE 6 is
significantly different from SGE 5 and an upgrade is only possible
by removing the SGE 5 install and replacing it. The SGE vs SGEEE
distinction has been removed in SGE 6 so the sgeee port was removed.
The sge and sgeee ports were repo copied to sge53 and sgeee53
respectively and existing installations may continue to use them.
20050727:
AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird-server
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
Changes in layout:
* database directory has changed from /usr/local/firebird to /var/db/firebird
* configuration files are placed in /usr/local/etc/firebird
* common utilities have been moved to /usr/local/bin
* suid-ed binaries have been moved to /usr/local/sbin
Update inetd.conf/xinetd.conf to reflect new location of "fb_inet_server".
20050722:
AFFECTS: All RELENG_6 and HEAD users of ports/packages, maintainers
of ports that interact with the compat libraries.
AUTHOR: kensmith@FreeBSD.org
The shared library version number of all shared libraries built as
part of the baseline system has been incremented in both RELENG_6
and HEAD. The overall goal is to make handling of the compat library
infrastructure easier. Each new release branch will have different
version numbers for all of the shared libraries and the compat ports
can simply include all of the shared libraries from the previous
release.
If you update your system using normal cvsup/rebuild/reinstall
mechanisms the old versions of the libraries will still be on your
system so your old ports executables will continue to work.
But you definitely should plan on recompiling and reinstalling all
of your installed ports so they get relinked against the new libraries.
If you don't take this step as time goes on "normal" updates and
installs run the risk of having executables relying on both the new
and old versions of the libraries which would cause big problems.
It will take some time for the pre-built packages available on the
FTP mirror sites to be rebuilt against the new libraries. If you
want to update your ports using the pre-built packages watch the
mailing lists for when the rebuilt packages become available.
20050710:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt33, x11/kdelibs3
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
If you have compiled qt33 with the KDE_OPTIONS option checked (if your
installed qt-package is called qt-copy-3.3.4 instead of qt-3.3.4, check
with pkg_info), you should cvsup and recompile qt33 and everything
depending on it:
portupgrade -rf qt\*
Previous versions of the qt33 port contained a patch that
introduces binary incompatibility between unpatched qt33 and software
compiled against a patched qt33.
Symptoms of the binary incompatibility: Unresolved symbol warnings from
various KDE/Qt applications (both during runtime or compiling/linking),
"Could not start kdeinit" dialogs during KDE startup, kicker crashes during
exiting KDE.
20050630:
AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
Due to several complaints, new (unsupported) option had been added to port
Makefile: WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT. Starting with version 7667, NVidia has
dropped support for numerous "legacy" GPUs, while this option allows to go
with previous version of driver (this does not apply to older versions of
FreeBSD, since you have to use version 6113 of driver (if you did not yet
upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 or later) which has support for those GPUs).
If you must use WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option, be sure to ``hold'' the
package by making appropriate entry in your pkgtools.conf, otherwise
portupgrade(1) will upgrade your port to latest NVidia release on the
next run, which is probably not what you want.
Refer to x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile for further details.
20050625:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut
AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de
nut now installs a rcNG script for starting the Network UPS Tools daemons.
To enable that at boot time, add the following into /etc/rc.conf[.local]:
nut_enable="YES"
20050624:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.7. You should update everything
depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see
its manual page for details.
20050622:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd-*
AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org
ProFTPd binary moved from ${PREFIX}/libexec to ${PREFIX}/sbin. People
using proftpd with inetd must use ${PREFIX}/sbin/in.proftpd (or
${PREFIX}/sbin/proftpd which is just the same). Read the commit log
and diffs for more information.
20050621:
AFFECTS: users of net/cacti
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
Because of users need to keep their DB configuration but config.php
can't be saved on upgrading, I've moved DB settings in db-settings.php.
So, you need to change db-settings.php and do not touch config.php
anymore.
20050618:
AFFECTS: users of alternate linux_base ports
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}).
20050610:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/wget built with SSL (default)
AUTHOR: sf@FreeBSD.org
wget 1.10 now authenticates certificate of remote host before making a
SSL connection. To make it work, you should have working CA root
certificates list in /etc/ssl/cert.pem.
If you don't have it there are options:
a) install security/ca-roots port and you have done.
b) install ftp/curl port and symlink it to /etc/ssl/cert.pem.
ln -s /usr/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/cert.pem
c) put your favorite one into certain place.
20050601:
AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce
AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org
Upgrading to 2005.1 is straightforward, but it is highly recommended
to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes:
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.051/user/relnotes.txt
20050526:
AFFECTS: users of mail/sylpheed-claws
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
Sylpheed-claws is updated to the GTK2 version now. This results in a new
configuration directory. To keep your configuration from the GTK1 version
you can
cp -rp ~/.sylpheed .sylpheed-gtk2
before starting the GTK2 version for the first time, or
cp -Rp ~/.sylpheed .sylpheed-gtk2/
when you have run the GTK2 version already.
20050524:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mpeg4ip and multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org
Starting with version 1.3 mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installs libmp4av that mpeg4ip
previously installed. It is advised to de-install mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and
mpeg4ip before updating to mpeg4ip-1.3 or mpeg4ip-libmp4v2-1.3. If you
have already updated mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and mpeg4ip you should deinstall
mpeg4ip and reinstall mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 before updating mpeg4ip.
This does not affect users who just have mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installed
and not mpeg4ip.
20050523:
AFFECTS: users of games/pvpgn
AUTHOR: mek@mek.uz.ua
The following has been changed in the bnetd.conf file (starting with
version 1.7.7):
- The old config variable `servername' has been renamed to `hostname'.
- A new `servername' config variable has been introduced for server
identification.
20050519:
AFFECTS: users of www/squid
AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de
Starting with 2.5.10, the cachemgr.cgi program uses a configuration file
cachemgr.conf to control which hosts this program is allowed to manage.
To prevent abuse, the configuration defaults to "localhost" only.
Please see cachemgr.cgi(8) for further details.
20050517:
AFFECTS: users of www/mod_perl2 and all ports depending on it
AUTHOR: lars.eggert@gmx.net.
API changed for mod_perl2 - existing code will break!
The mod_perl2 developers have significantly changed the API
in release candidate 2.0.0-RC5. These changes include changed
names for core packages, causing software that uses the old API
to fail with the new version. You need to update your code as
described in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html
20050517:
AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird
AUTHOR: freebsd@galle.com.br
The port was split into a -server and -client parts.
The -server contains server binary, UDFs, and install all in
${PREFIX}/firebird. The -client contains libs, includes,
client binaries, docs and examples. For migration delete
the firebird port and install the -server and/or -client port
afterwards.
20050512:
AFFECTS: users of devel/svk
AUTHOR: rafan@infor.org
Since SVK 0.30, it is fast enough and PPerl causes some problems.
Thus, the SVK port no longer supports WITH_PPERL knob.
If you still want to use PPerl with it, please go and read:
http://svk.elixus.org/?SVKAndPPerl for details.
20050511:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg{,-devel}
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
The latest FreeBSD CVS snapshot has been committed under
multimedia/ffmepg-devel. In order to build it, you need to deinstall
any ffmpeg ports first.
# pkg_deinstall multimedia/ffmpeg
Furthermore, video capture is no longer working in the latest
version. Work is been done to overcome this.
20050511:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|contrib)
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL ports have been updated to latest versions. A
security problem in the template database requires a simple SQL
command to be run on each database. because these problems are
really incorrect system catalog entries. Updating to a new release
will NOT by itself solve the problems in an existing
installation.
See http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315 for details.
20050501:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml based applications and libraries
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
With the recent update of ocaml to 3.08.3 some API compatibility
has been broken. It is a bit subtle so that some users might not
notice it. However, updating all ocaml based applications and
libraries are advised using the new compiler/interpreter version.
Issue the following command:
# portupgrade -rf 'ocaml*'
20050426:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-authlib
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
mail/courier-authlib has been moved to security/courier-authlib and is
now only a meta-port. Installing the meta-port installs security/
courier-authlib-base and no, one or more sub-ports regarding to what
authentication methods you've chosen. Courier-authlib-base only
provides you authentication via PAM. All ports depending on courier-
authlib (at the time of writing, courier-imap, sqwebmail and maildrop)
giving you the same choice the meta-port provides you.
20050421:
AFFECTS: users of www/opera-devel

Opera 8.0 final has been released and can be installed by installing the
www/opera port. The opera-devel port is now deprecated. If you want
to continue using the personal settings you used with www/opera-devel,
issue this command:
# mv ~/.opera-devel ~/.opera

AFFECTS: users of www/opera
AUTHOR: avleeuwen@piwebs.com
Opera has been updated to 8.0. If are upgrading from version 7.x or
below, it is recommend that you backup your personal "~/.opera"
directory and remove it, like this:
# cp -Rp ~/.opera ~/.opera-bak
# rm -rf ~/.opera/*
After that, you can put your bookmarks, email, contacts, etc. back in
~/.opera/. The most important files are your bookmarks
(~/.opera/opera6.adr) and your emails (~/.opera/mail). It is not a good
idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini, pluginpath.ini and other
non-personal stuff back in ~/.opera/. If you need custom settings,
reconfigure Opera from the preferences pane or edit the files by hand.

AUTHOR: dryice@liu.com.cn
This is backward-incompatible changes for pysh.
1. You must update your pysh profile (~/.ipython/ipythonrc-pysh):
a) Add to it the line:
import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
b) Delete the line
execfile pysh.py
2. You must also delete from ~/.ipython/ the file pysh.py.

AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org
Opera has been updated to 8.0. If you are upgrade from version 7.x or
below, it is recommend for you to backup your personal "~/.linux-opera"
directory and remove it. It can be done following from the command line:
# cp -Rp ~/.linux-opera ~/.linux-opera-bak
# rm -rf ~/.linux-opera/*
After that, you can put your bookmark, email, contacts and etc back in
~/.linux-opera/. The bookmark is ~/.linux-opera/opera6.adr and the email is
~/.linux-opera/mail as you can figure out by view in ~/.linux-opera/. It is
probably not good idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini,
pluginpath.ini and other non-personal stuff back in ~/.linux-opera/. The
non-personal stuff should be re-configure on new stuff by either Opera
preferences in GUI or hand (manual) in your editor.

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL ports are updated to 8.0.2. All shared libraries'
versions have been bumped, so you will need to recompile all client
applications that depend on libpq.so. The recommended way to
upgrade from 8.0.x would be something like
portupgrade -rf postgresql-client

AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3,
x11-themes/kdeartwork3, www/akregator, x11-themes/phase,
multimedia/kdemultimedia3
AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org
In KDE 3.4, a number of files were moved between ports, some ports
were added, one port has been removed and some applications formerly available
in their own ports were incorporated into KDE. This means that you will have
to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple
portupgrade -a will not work.
Portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you
have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following
procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed
and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in
to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you
choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic
behavior and crashes from applications launched until you log out and back
in.
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports.
pkg_deinstall -f kdeartwork-\[0-9\]\* kdebase-\[0-9\]\* \
kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-\[0-9\]\* kdewebdev-\[0-9\]\* \
kde-\[0-9\]\* akregator\* phase\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1.
portinstall -O kdebase kdeartwork kdewebdev
Changes in detail:
- www/akregator is now included into deskutils/kdepim3.
- x11-themes/phase is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3.
- www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated into
x11/kdebase3.
- Juk has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
available as audio/juk.
- Akode has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
available as audio/akode and audio/akode-plugins-*. Akode is also
a default dependency of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 now.
- audio/mpeglib_artsplug has been demoted to legacy status and is no
longer the default decoder backend for kdemultimedia3. It's also not
depended on by kdemultimedia3 by default anymore.
Known post-updating issues:
- If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update:
rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
Then log out of KDE and back in again (also see
http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.php#q16).
- kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations
by running (as root or with sudo)
genkdmconf
Make sure to backup your old kdm configuration (usually found in
/usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an
invalid configuration. Especially note that kdm does not use the Xservers
file anymore. A genkdmconf run will merge its contents into kdmrc.

at http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.4-features.html. Bugs
can be reported at http://bugs.kde.org.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portsnap
AUTHOR: cperciva@FreeBSD.org
As a result of shifting from SHA-1 to SHA-256, the structure of
portsnap's configuration file and compressed snapshot have both
changed. After upgrading to portsnap 0.9, you will have to
update your configuration file ($PREFIX/etc/portsnap.conf) and
delete your existing portsnap compressed snapshot:
# cd /usr/local/etc && cp portsnap.conf.sample portsnap.conf
# rm -r /usr/local/portsnap/*
In addition, be aware that the next runs of "portsnap fetch" and
"portsnap update" will take far longer than usual, since they
will need to download and extract a complete copy of the ports
tree.
20050319:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7[34]-server
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The startup script has been merged from 8.0 to 7.3 and 7.4. Hence,

AFFECTS: all users who have glib/gtk/gnome libraries installed
AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org and the FreeBSD gnome team
Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6.
DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk
or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade

AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop
AUTHOR: sergei@FreeBSD.org
maildrop has been recently upgraded to 1.8.0. This version
has the following changes:
- Maildir quota is now enabled by default.
The following options were deleted:
- WITH_MAILDIRQUOTA
- WITH_TRASHQUOTA
- New option WITH_AUTHLIB is added, which provides optional support for
Courier Auth Library (mail/courier-authlib port).
- Userdb authentication, LDAP and MySQL support are provided through
courier-authlib now, thus the following options
- WITH_USERDB
- WITH_LDAP
- WITH_MYSQL
have been superseded by WITH_AUTHLIB.
20050306:
AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus

The newest i2p version 0.5.0.1 is incompatible with all previous
versions. Follow these procedures if you are updating from a
previous port version. You can ignore these if you are installing
i2p for the first time.
1) Update i2p port to the new one
2) Use the i2prouter script to uninstall i2p from user account.
You are going to lose all your configuration.
$ i2prouter uninstall
3) Install the new i2p version
$ i2prouter install

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ganglia-monitor-core
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
With the move to Ganglia 3.0.0, the configuration file for gmond has
changed completely. The -r or --convert options may be used to
emit a file in the new format given one in the old.
Startup is now controlled by an RC_SUBR script so the gmond_enable and
gmetad_enable variables will need to be set for gmond and gmetad to be
started. Existing gmond.sh and gmetad.sh scripts in PREFIX/etc/rc.d
should be removed.
Due to a bug in ganglia's build process, the previous version may need
to be removed before ganglia can be upgraded.

20050213:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX-*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/teTeX-* are now based on teTeX 3.0. Although some
reliability fixes are also added, here are several common problems
which you might fall on.
1) $PREFIX/bin/pdftex is missing:
Probably your system has old files included teTeX 2.x which can
prevent the new version from working. Please remove the old
files first (see 20050206 in this file) and reinstall.
2) Some formats are still corrupted (for example, "Fatal format file error;
I'm stymied" is displayed) or not updated even after a clean install:
You might have old or corrupted *.fmt and/or *.map files
under /root/.texmf-* or $HOME/.texmf-* directories. Typically
these directories are generated when you invoke the updmap(1),
texconfig(1), or fmtutil(1) utility manually. However, for a period
after the first revision of the teTeX-base port erroneously used
fmtutil(1) to regenerate *.fmt files, you could have these directories
without your intent. In such a case, please remove these directories
and reinstall the ports (it is not needed to rebuild ports/packages).
Just for your information, $HOME/.texmf-config and $HOME/.texmf-var
can be used for your personal configuration.
If you have other problems, please contact hrs@FreeBSD.org.

x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic
AUTHOR: koma2@ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp
The dependency on x11-fonts/mkbold and x11-fonts/mkitalic has been
switched over to x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, which is written in C
and has far better performance than the old ones. There is no
functional difference between the two, but they will conflict with
each other. Since other ports which depend on x11-fonts/mkbold or
x11-fonts/mkitalic will be updated to depend on x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic,
you might get an error during upgrading such ports. In such a case,
please pkg_delete the old ones first.
20050206:
AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX and japanese/teTeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/teTeX is now based on a teTeX 3.0 release candidate
(2.99.13.20050204) and the other related ports are also updated.
Since upgrading from previous versions should be done at a time,
you may want to use the portupgrade utility or reinstall
print/teTeX after deinstalling all of the related ports.
If your teTeX environment became broken during the upgrade,
please see the following URL which explains how to fix it.
http://people.freebsd.org/~hrs/tetex-upgrade.txt
This file also includes notes for people who are familiar
with the teTeX distribution to explain structure of the ports.
20050205:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby16_r, lang/ruby18_r, and lang/ruby18
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been
dropped and lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been removed,
since no one seems to appreciate the partially working solution.
Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled
by default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is
linked with libpthread. This will allow threaded extension
libraries to run and work properly on those systems.
20050201:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5 has been updated to 5.6.2, and lang/perl5.8 has been
updated to 5.8.6. you should update everything depending on perl, that
is:
* first, upgrade your perl installation (use either lang/perl5 or
lang/perl5.8, the latter being recommended);
* for FreeBSD 4.X, run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you
have 5.8.6 or 5.6.2; this step is not needed on FreeBSD 5.X and
FreeBSD -CURRENT;
* run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl,
that is run something like :
portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5\* |tail +4; \
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.[68].[1245] -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u`
This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them
afterwards by hand.
20050130:
AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
Each of the PostgreSQL ports have been split into a server and a

postgresqlNN-client as needed. Versions currently supported are 7.3,
7.4 and 8.0.
To start the PostgreSQL server at boot time, add the following to
/etc/rc.conf:
postgresql_enable=yes
The maintenance script is installed in etc/periodic/daily, and is

The -devel port has been updated to contain 8.0 release since
postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the
changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can
use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been
committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about
tracking ports and if used in production, update to
databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No

AFFECTS: users of security/libgnomesu, esp. on FreeBSD 4.x.
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
If you installed libgnomesu the day it was added to the ports tree,
you have a malformed PAM control file in /etc/pam.d/. All libgnomesu
users should remove /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam, and 5.x users should
replace it with the version in the updated libgnomesu port (ensure
that you're using the most current revision of the libgnomesu port).
4.x users: listen up! The presence of the /etc/pam.d/ directory (and
anything in that directory) presents a Very Bad Thing. Unless you've
manually tweaked your PAM settings, you must run:
# rm /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam
# rmdir /etc/pam.d/
or all users will be locked out of your system!
20050110:
AFFECTS: users of irc/iip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
iip has been updated to the new network servers. Therefore, both
old configuration files and node reference keys no longer apply.
Therefore, you need to update the configuration files for each
user running the iip isproxy daemon:
1) Backup configuration files
cp ~/.iip/isproxy.ini ~/.iip/isproxy.ini.backup
cp ~/.iip/node.ref ~/.iip/node.ref.backup
2) Remove configuration files
rm ~/.iip/isproxy.ini
rm ~/.iip/node.ref
3) Create new configuration. Fill information as requested. This
creates the updated isproxy.ini file
isproxy -C
4) Start iip isproxy. This will initialize your updated node.ref
file. This file will be automatically updated when you connect
to the iip network
isproxy
20050110:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nautilus-cd-burner
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
Nautilus-cd-burner now requires cdrtools built with UTF-8 encoding
support. The default sysutils/cdrtools port does not support this
encoding, and that will cause nautilus-cd-burner to enter an infinite
loop when trying to create CD images. To workaround this, the cdrtools
dependency was changed in nautilus-cd-burner to point to the
sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port instead.
Since sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-cjk conflict, you must
uninstall cdrtools so that the nautilus-cd-burner update can properly
pull in cdrtools-cjk.
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap, mail/sqwebmail
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Courier-imap and sqwebmail are now dependent on courier-authlib. If
you've changed the default authentication config for courier-imap or
sqwebmail, you will have to redo the changes for courier-authlib.
You may wish to deinstall courier-imap and/or sqwebmail before you
install courier-authlib. Since courier-authlib replaces parts of both
ports, some of courier-authlib's files are listed as sqwebmail and
courier-imap files and deinstalling old courier-imap and/or sqwebmail
port may cause the deinstallation of the freshly installed
courier-authlib files.
20050108:
AFFECTS: users of mail/sqwebmail
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org
Sqwebmail now installs it's files directly under PREFIX. That means for
instance that files that were formerly found under
PREFIX/share/sqwebmail/etc/ are now located under PREFIX/etc/sqwebmail.
Furthermore you need to set sqwebmaild_enable=YES in your rc.conf
because the rc.d script has been migrated to use the rc.subr Subsystem

AFFECTS: users of Horde and the related ports (Turba, IMP, Nag, Kronolith,
Mnemo, Chora)
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
As of this update, the configuration files are generated by the application,
with no support for configuration files used in previous versions.
All data saved in the database, LDAP or MCAL backends will be preserved,
considering that you run specific scripts to migrate to this new scheme.
Affected ports are www/horde, mail/turba, deskutils/nag, deskutils/kronolith,
and deskutils/mnemo. See the UPGRADING documentation of the ports in question
for more details.
The filter system of IMP 3.x has been replaced by a separate application:
check the port mail/ingo. Ingo provides a script to migrate the existing
filter rules from IMP 3.x, see Ingo's documentation.
20041224:
AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server and graphics/dri
AUTHOR: lesi@FreeBSD.org
As of version 4.4.0_6, XFree86-4-Server now depends on
graphics/xfree86-dri. This is due to incompatibilities between
XFree86 and the new xorg 6.8.1 DRI.
Users of XFree86-4-Server are strongly encouraged to switch to
the xfree86-dri port as follows:
portupgrade -fo graphics/xfree86-dri graphics/dri
which will also fix dependencies.
20041224:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade and lang/ruby18
AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org
Please upgrade sysutils/portupgrade prior to lang/ruby18, or
pkgdb(1) may coredump with a double free() problem from a misuse (or
a "feature") of the DL module.
In that case, you can reinstall sysutils/portupgrade manually.
20041222:
AFFECTS: users of security/clamav, security/clamav-devel
AUTHOR: jylefort@brutele.be
The ClamAV database path has changed from /usr/local/share/clamav to
/var/db/clamav. You should update the DatabaseDirectory keyword in
/usr/local/etc/clamd.conf and /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf.
20041221
AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme03
AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org
security/gpgme03 has been modified to not conflicts with gpgme 1.x
After upgrade, you need to rebuild all ports that depend on it.
You should upgrade security/gpgme (if installed) to avoid nasty
compile time failures, due to original location of gpgme.h.
20041219:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/jdictionary
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The location for JDictionary port installed files has changed. This also
affects the various plugins. Hence, users should upgrade all jdictionary
related ports at once to avoid inconsistencies:
$ portupgrade jdictionary\*

AFFECTS: users of net/freenet6
AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org
The FreeNet6 Service must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf:
freenet6_enable="YES"
20041213:
AFFECTS: users of security/cryptplug, deskutils/kdepim3
AUTHOR: lofi@freebsd.org
The cryptplug port is not compatible with recent versions of gpgme
and has been changed to depend on gpgme03 (the last version of gpg-
me compatible with cryptplug).
Users who have been using cryptplug in order to enable PGP/MIME support
in KMail should DEINSTALL BOTH cryptplug and gpgme03 before updating
KDE to version 3.3.2. Cryptplug is NOT necessary anymore to enable
PGP/MIME support in KMail and will cause the kdepim3 build to fail due
to conflicting dependencies.
20041213:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-relay
AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL Relay must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf:
postgresqlrelay_enable="YES"
20041212:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula
AUTHOR: lkoeller@FreeBSD.org
The port was split into a -server and -client component.
The -server part contains the storage and director daemon, the -client
part the console, file daemon and the documentation.
For migration delete the bacula port and install the -server and/or
-client port afterwards.
20041208:
AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail
AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org
There is a known quirk when using mail/getmail with Python 2.4
where the DeprecationWarning is printed regarding the use of
the 'strict' keyword when a message is being retrieved.
You can redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null to quelch the warning.
The quirk may be fixed in a future version of getmail.
20041205:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
multimedia/ffmpeg will not work if previous versions of the port
are installed. Also, there is a shared library version bump on
this update. Therefore:
1) Remove old ffmpeg
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/ffmpeg*
2) Install updated ffmpeg
3) Rebuild all ports that depend on ffmpeg due to the shared
library version bump
cd /var/db/pkg && portupgrade -rf ffmpeg* -x ffmpeg*
20041202:
AFFECTS: users of any ports which have dependency on lang/python
AUTHOR: perky@FreeBSD.org
After upgrading of lang/python, you must rebuild all its consumer
ports to make them get ready to Python 2.4.
To do this, you will need to:
pkgdb -uf && cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages

and adjust your options.
20041121:
AFFECTS: users of news/rawdog
AUTHOR: tim@bishnet.net
Rawdog 2.x changes the format of the state file used in 1.x. To
upgrade from 1.x to 2.x the rawdog author recommends the following:
cp -R ~/.rawdog ~/.rawdog-old
rm ~/.rawdog/state
rawdog -u
rawdog --upgrade ~/.rawdog-old ~/.rawdog
rawdog -w
Once you're happy with the new version:
rm -r ~/.rawdog-old
20041118:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: lofi@freebsd.org
portsdb(1) is part of the portupgrade suite and is used to convert a ports
INDEX file to a binary INDEX.db database. By default, it uses the
libc-builtin berkeley db to do so, which has a buggy btree implementation.
If you see errors like "[BUG] Segmentation fault" while a portsdb update is
in progress, adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf) to either bdb1_hash or dbm_hash.
This problem was fixed in 5.3-RELEASE, but users of 4.10-RELEASE and
5.2.1-RELEASE (and older releases) will find fixes by updating to the
latest (at least after Sep 20) of RELENG_4 or RELENG_5.
20041116:
AFFECTS: users of www/bricolage
AUTHOR: ports@rbt.ca
Bricolage may now be run on mod_perl compiled as a DSO for Apache
when following these guidelines:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#When_DSO_can_be_Used
To do this, you will need to:
pkg_delete -f apache-mod_perl
pkg_delete -f p5-libapreq-static
portupgrade -rR bricolage
Bricolage will rebuild mod_perl, apache and libapreq using their standard
versions.
20041115:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade
AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
Due to the recent removal of INDEX and INDEX-5 from FreeBSD's CVS,
portupgrade with default configuration will run 'make index' if started
after cvsup'ing the ports-collection. This may take an undesirably long
time.
There are several ways to work around this, for example:
- Run 'make fetchindex' after cvsup'ing ports.
or
- Adjust the PORTS_INDEX variable in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf (see portupgrade(1) or the default pkgtools.conf) to
a different value than the default.
Also remember that 'make index' is only supported on _complete_
ports-trees. If you are currently refusing whole categories by means
of a cvsup refuse file, use 'make fetchindex' instead (or consider
keeping an extra machine/jail with a complete ports-tree around to
do INDEX builds on).
20041111:
AFFECTS: users of audio/faad, multimedia/mpeg4ip
AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org
mpeg4ip has been updated and broken down into 2 separate ports:
mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2. Furthermore, mpeg4ip now depends
on faad. Moreover, faad now depends on mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 rather
than on mpeg4ip which avoids a cyclic dependency (mpeg4ip depends
on faad which depends on mpeg4ip).
If any of the old ports are installed, mpeg4ip will not compile.
Therefore,
1) Remove old faad and mpeg4ip ports which conflict with new
mpeg4ip
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/mpeg4ip*
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/faad*
2) Install faad, mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 in the following
order
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/audio/faad && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip && make install clean
20041111:
AFFECTS: users of Java
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
javavmwrapper has been rewritten. It now creates symbolic links for
all executables of the Java VMs that have been registered with it.
These symbolic links may impact which version of Java you are using,
depending on your PATH, which may need to be adjusted.
For example, if your path is:
${LOCALBASE}/bin:${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin
then previously "java" would resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java.
With the new javavmwrapper it will resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.
Depending upon the Java VMs that are registered and various environment
variables, it may or may not be ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java that is
run by javavmwrapper via the symbolic link ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.

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

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

20040830:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3
AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org
In KDE 3.3, a number of files were moved between ports and some ports
were removed. This means that you will have to take some precautions
to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work.
portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you
have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following
procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed
and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in
to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you
choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic
behavior and crashes from applications launched during the update.
1.) First, make sure your ports index is up to date.
cd /usr/ports && make index
or, if you're using the sysutils/portindex port
portindex
2.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports.
pkg_deinstall -f kdeaddons-kontact-plugins-\* \
kdeaddons-kaddressbook-plugins-\* kdepim-\* kdeutils-\* \
kdeaddons-\[0-9\]\* kde-\[0-9\]\*
kdegraphics now conflicts with the kolourpaint package and kdeedu now
conflicts with the kwordquiz package. If you have kwordquiz and/or
kolourpaint installed on your system and you want to use the kdegraphics/
kdeedu ports, you should first deinstall the conflicting packages:
pkg_deinstall -f kolourpaint\* kwordquiz\*
3.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
portupgrade arts\* kde\* quanta\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
Note that the quanta port has been renamed to kdewebdev. The commands
above will automatically replace quanta with kdewebdev, if you have
quanta installed.
4.) Reinstall any KDE ports you deleted in step 2. Note that the kdeaddons-
kontact-plugins (net/kontact-plugins), kdepim-kpilot (palm/kpilot) and
quanta (www/quanta) ports/packages do not exist anymore and cannot be
reinstalled.
Known post-updating issues:
- If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update:
rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
Then log out of KDE and back in again.
- KMail has been heavily modified since KDE 3.2.x. Testing shows that KMail
can display erratic behavior and crashes after the update. If you see any
such behavior, it is recommended to simply close KMail and start it again
until it resumes normal operation.
The integration of GnuPG and KMail for signing, encrypting and verifying
PGP/MIME mail has also changed. A quick howto is available at
http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php.
- kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations
by running
genkdmconf
Make sure to backup your old kdmrc (usually found in
/usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an
invalid configuration.

while some utilities included in the original teTeX distribution
such as kpsepath(1) look for the file in $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf
first. This is for separating the pTeX's texmf.cnf and
the original TeX's texmf.cnf, and you do not have to copy or
link the file $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf to $TEXMF/web2c/.
To lookup pTeX path by using kpsepath(1) and so on, please

encoding can be used by default, but Shift JIS is no longer
supported because it makes very difficult to maintain other
pTeX related ports. However, "ptex --kanji=sjis" still works,

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org, mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. you should update everything
depending on perl, that is:
* first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation.
* run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.5.
* now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl,
that is run something like :
portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 |tail +4; \
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u`
This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them
afterwards.
Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary,
if you are upgrading from 5.8.4. But it is cleaner to do so anyway.

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

AFFECTS: users for xorg and GNOME
AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
After migrating from XFree86 to X.Org, you must rebuild
x11-toolkits/libwnck and x11/libxklavier for full GNOME functionality
to be restored.
If you receive an XKB initialization error when starting GNOME, edit
your XF86Config or xorg.conf, and remove the line:
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
20040723:
AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of X.Org
AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org
The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or
xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are
switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade:
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-*
cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install
pkgdb -F
Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process.
Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages:
cd /var/db/pkg
portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 imake-4*
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-libraries XFree86-libraries
portupgrade -o x11/xorg-clients XFree86-clients

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

AFFECTS: users of net/openldap21{,-sasl}-client
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do
portupgrade -rfo net/openldap22-client openldap-client
(or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to
upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=21' to /etc/make.conf
Note that when you want to upgrade openldap21{,sasl}-server, you have
to use slapcat/slapadd to migrate the database, since the internal
format is not binary compatible. Simply upgrading the server without
doing a slapcat first can corrupt your database.
20040717:
AFFECTS: users of mail/exim on FreeBSD 5.x
AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org
The default location of the startup script has been changed to
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. When you depend on the previous behavior,
build the port with WITH_RCORDER=yes.
Setting WITH_OPENLDAP_VER and WITH_MYSQL_VER do not automatically
imply the corresponding WITH_ variable. The use of these options
is discouraged, use the global settings (WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and
DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER) to set system wide defaults.

AFFECTS: users of mail/milter-sender
AUTHOR: vs@FreeBSD.org
Milter-sender version 0.58 released.
When updating to version 0.58, beware if you have a personalized
configuration file (milter-sender.cf). The meaning of the
MxAcceptsAllAction variable has changed and its default has changed
from 4 to 6. If this variable is not updated, greylisting might be
more aggressive than expected.

AFFECTS: users of www/opera
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
Opera 7.52 released.
The file search.ini has been changed to ensure correct default
addresses for dictionary and encyclopedia searches. Existing
versions will be overwritten on upgrade. Users who have a
customized search.ini file that they would like to keep, should
edit its version number to 4 before upgrading. Note that you
have to edit the search.ini file located in the /.opera folder.

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

sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-devel respectively.
To update them generate ("make index") or fetch ("make fetchindex") a
new INDEX/INDEX-5. Run "pkgdb -F" and unregister the mkisofs/-devel
port. Then forcefully update the cdrtools port and all of its

user, you should carefully read the instructions at:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html
And use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to properly upgrade to GNOME 2.6. If
you are just a casual user of some of the GNOME libraries, portupgrade
should be sufficient to update your ports.

If you update kdelibs from version 3.2.0 to version 3.2.1 while running
a KDE 3.2.0 session, newly opened instances of Konqueror will silently
crash as soon as the new version of kdelibs has been installed, due to
mismatching linker symbols.
It is recommended you quit your KDE session at that point and update
kdebase to version 3.2.1, then restart KDE.

Installation of artswrapper is optional, however:
If you presently run KDE and you have "Run with the highest possible
priority (realtime priority)" checked in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/
Sound System and you choose to NOT install audio/artswrapper, you need to
- Uncheck "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)"
in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System BEFORE updating arts
OR
- AFTER updating arts and kdebase, go to Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/
Sound System, click on the unchecked "Run with the highest possible priority

rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir
rm <PREFIX>/AntiVir/antivir.vdf
chown root:wheel <PREFIX>/AntiVir
chown root:smmsp <PREFIX>/AntiVir/hbedv.key
In your SENDMAIL_MC change
`S=unix:<PREFIX>/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m'
to:
`S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m'
and rebuild sendmail.cf.
If /var/spool/avmilter exist you have to:
chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter
If you are using a customized <PREFIX>/etc/avmilter.conf the port
won't remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User
and Group to smmsp there.
Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then
should run antivirupdater to get a current VDF.

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