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 misc/openhab
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
You need to run
sed -i -e 's:^karaf.framework.equinox=.*:karaf.framework.equinox=mvn\:org.eclipse.platform/org.eclipse.osgi/3.16.200: ; s:^karaf.framework.felix=.*:karaf.framework.felix=mvn\:org.apache.felix/org.apache.felix.framework/6.0.4:' /var/db/openhab/userdata/etc/config.properties
to update the version numbers of some components in a config file.
20210621:
AFFECTS: users of www/gitlab-ce
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
The upgrade of Gitlab 14.0.0 is in preparation.
You must upgrade first to 13.12.
For more information see here:
https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/06/04/gitlab-moving-to-14-breaking-changes/
To do the upgrade, make sure you follow the upgrade manuals:
https://gitlab.fechner.net/mfechner/Gitlab-docu/-/tree/master/update
I will merge the 14.0.0 upgrade later to quarterly branch to give you
some time for the upgrade to 13.12.
20210620:
AFFECTS: users of misc/openhab2
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The openhab v3 port has been committed. Upstream has removed the
version from the name, as such the FreeBSD port follows in all places
(start script name, directory names, ...).
Users are encuraged to migrate from misc/openhab2 to misc/openhab.
No automatic config migration is available Both versions can be
installed in parallel, but an users has to take care to not run
both at the same time on the same port.
20210617:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/mesa-libs and x11/nvidia-driver
AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org
Some libraries from mesa-libs are now provided by libglvnd while
others were renamed. nvidia-driver already used libglvnd but bundled
a copy which is now provided as a separate package. When building
outside poudriere make sure to remove mesa-libs and nvidia-driver
first in order to avoid conflict with libglvnd.
For portmaster users:
# pkg delete -f mesa-libs nvidia-driver
# portmaster -a
For portupgrade users:
# pkg delete -f mesa-libs nvidia-driver
# portupgrade -a
20210523:
AFFECTS: users of www/tt-rss
AUTHOR: dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com
tt-rss config.php syntax has changed. You can find detailed changes
here https://tt-rss.org/wiki/GlobalConfig or look at config.php.sample.
Expect your config.php to not work with newer www/tt-rss releases.
Due to changes in ttrssd before updating you should stop ttrssd or
otherwise kill the php process running update_daemon2.php.
20210516:
AFFECTS: users of security/bitwarden_rs
AUTHOR: mr@FreeBSD.org
bitwarden_rs has been renamed to vaultwarden upstream.
So switch to security/vaultwarden instead.
20210515:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-server
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The rc.conf parameter for the login class of the postgresql daemon has
changed name from postgresql_class to postgresql_login_class.
rc.subr(8) states that the parameter should be named ${name}_login_class.
20200512:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ansible*
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
Ansible has been updated to 3.3.0. Please follow the porting guide
to update the rulesets:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_3.html
20210508:
AFFECTS: users of devel/pycharm-ce
AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org
Pycharm-ce has switched to the supported java version 11.
20210506:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix
AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
Postfix 3.6 and higher requires minimum OpenSSL 1.1.1
FreeBSD 11 users using base OpenSSL can switch to
mail/postfix35
If you wish to use postfix35 until FreeBSD 11 EoL you might run the
following command:
# pkg set -o mail/postfix:mail/postfix35
# pkg upgrade
20210505:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/terraform
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
Terraform has been updated from 0.13 to 0.15, which introduces several
incompatible changes. Please follow upgrading guide when updating
the package.
https://www.terraform.io/upgrade-guides/0-14.html
https://www.terraform.io/upgrade-guides/0-15.html
20210426:
AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/iosevka
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
The selection of options for Iosevka has become less granular as the port has
switched from TTF-based distfiles to super-TTC-based distfiles. Now all the
spacing variants are contained within one file for each Iosevka style.
20210425:
AFFECTS: users of python
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
The default version of python3 and python was switched to 3.8.
For ports users wanting to keep version 3.7 as default,
add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.7 python3=3.7 to make.conf
Following procedures may ease the upgrade:
For users of pre-build packages:
# sh
# for i in $(pkg query -g %n 'py37-*'); do pkg set -yn ${i}:py38-${i#py37-}; done
# pkg upgrade
For portmaster users:
# sh
# portmaster -o lang/python38 python37
# REINSTALL="$(pkg info -o "*py37*" | awk '{printf "%s ", $2}')"
# pkg delete -f "*py37*"
# portmaster $REINSTALL
# REBUILD=$(pkg query -g "%n:%dn" '*' | grep py3 | grep -v py38 | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u)
# portmaster $REBUILD
# REBUILD2=$(pkg list | grep python-37 | xargs pkg which | awk '{print $6}' | sort -u)
# portmaster $REBUILD2
20210420:
AFFECTS: users of www/node
AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
The www/node port has been updated to Node.js v16.0.0, the latest
upstream release. This is a major release, including many significant
changes. Users are encouraged to read the release announcements before
upgrading:
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v16.0.0/
20210416:
AFFECTS: Users of shells/bash, shells/bash-static with PORTS_READLINE=off
AUTHOR: olce.freebsd@certner.fr
Bundled readline now will use LOCALBASE/etc/inputrc as its ultimate default
inputrc file (instead of /etc/inputrc). This puts these ports in line with
what devel/readline has been doing recently (since 20210103).
20210414:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/OpenEXR or graphics/ilmbase
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
graphics/ilmbase was removed in favor of math/Imath 3.0.1,
and graphics/OpenEXR was updated to 3.0.1. Ports that depend on
OpenEXR and/or ilmbase according to INDEX were patched,
for ports where OpenEXR is an option that defaults to off, these
typical items needs to be changed - file bug reports in that case,
preferably with tested patches:
- The IlmBase parts Imath and half are now repackaged as Imath
- The IlmThread and Iex libraries are now part of OpenEXR
- Some header files were rearranged accordingly, into
${LOCALBASE}/include/OpenEXR vs. ${LOCALBASE}/include/Imath
- Some code needs a few #include statements added, often
#include <ImfHeader.h> or #include <ImfFrameBuffer.h>
- Some classes were removed, and the C++11 standard library
features need to be used, f. i. std::numeric_limits.
- Some code used Int64 or SInt64 should use uint64_t or int64_t.
Detailed porting hints are available here:
https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/Imath/blob/v3.0.1/docs/PortingGuide2-3.md
20210411:
AFFECTS: users or devel/py-RPyC
AUTHOR: skozlov@FreeBSD.org
devel/py-RPyC has been updated to version 5.0.1, which have some
incompatibilities with 4.x branch. Be sure to check them out before
upgrading:
https://rpyc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#backwards-incompatible
20210414:
AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/oldschool-pc-fonts
AUTHOR: evgeniy@khramtsov.org
x11-fonts/oldschool-pc-fonts has been upgraded to 2.2. This version
changed names of many fonts. If you have configuration files with
specific font names set, you need to update your configurations
after upgrade.
20210406:
AFFECTS: users of www/phpvirtualbox
AUTHOR: dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com
www/phpvirtualbox has been updated to version 6.1. This new version
only supports version 6.1 of VirtualBox.
Version 5.x of phpvirtualbox has been preserved as
www/phpvirtualbox-legacy. If you require support for VirtualBox
5.x please install this version. Remember to copy your configuration
file in the new legacy installation.
20210328:
AFFECTS: users of www/caddy
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The default locations for caddy runtime files have changed.
- Caddy's runtime log is now /var/log/caddy/caddy.log
(was /var/log/caddy.log)
- Automatic SSL certs are now stored in /var/db/caddy/data/caddy
(was /root/.local/share/caddy)
- Configuration autosaves are now stored in /var/db/caddy/config/caddy
(was /root/.config/caddy)
You can change these defaults. See /usr/local/etc/rc.d/caddy for the
list of settings.
20210322:
AFFECTS: users of net/wireguard
AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org
A wireguard kernel implementation supporting FreeBSD 12.1 and newer was
added as net/wireguard-kmod recently.
The new default for users of net/wireguard is the kernel module.
If you experience problems with it you can switch back to wireguard-go
by removing net/wireguard-kmod and making sure net/wireguard-go is
installed.
The userland tools wg-quick(8) and wg(8) try to use kernel support if
the kernel module is available and otherwise fall back to wireguard-go
automatically. Config files are fully compatible.
20210317:
AFFECTS: users of security/strongswan
AUTHOR: driesm.michiels@gmail.com
The stroke starter interface has been deprecated by upstream
for some time now. The default interface for controlling the charon
daemon has switched from stroke to vici. Users still using the
legacy config files such as ipsec.conf and ipsec.secret (stroke, starter)
can easily revert to the old behavior by:
# sysrc strongswan_interface="stroke"
It is recommended to use the vici interface which is configured by swanctl.conf.
Check : https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Fromipsecconf
to ease the transition from ipsec.* to swanctl.conf
20210313:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/phpipam
AUTHOR: marko.cupac@mimar.rs
ipaddresses table in phpipam database is likely to contain incorrect datetime
values which prevent successful upgrade. Make sure to create backup of
phpipam database. Before starting upgrade wizard in web interface run the
following SQL query on phpipam database:
UPDATE ipaddresses SET lastSeen='1970-01-01 00:00:01' WHERE lastSeen < '0000-01-01 00:00:00';
20210310:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/redisearch
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The textproc/redisearch port has been updated to the recent stable
release - v2.0. Users wanting to stay on v1.6 can replace
textproc/redisearch with textproc/redisearch16 with one of the
following commands:
# pkg install textproc/redisearch16
or
# portmaster -o textproc/redisearch16 textproc/redisearch
or
# portupgrade -o textproc/redisearch16 textproc/redisearch
NOTE: The textproc/redisearch16 brings a new name for the module,
i.e. redisearch16.so, so be careful.
20210309:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
emulators/virtualbox-ose has been updated to 6.1.18. This new
version only works on amd64 hardware.
Previous version 5.x of the virtualbox ports have been preserved
as emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy and similarly named ports for
the other parts.
If you can't run the latest version or wish to stay with the old
version, please install the legacy ports.
Also the additions at present build successfully only for amd64.
If you need i386 additions you can fallback to the old legacy
ones.
NOTE: There is no support for moving saved running machine states
across major updates of virtualbox. It is recommended to properly
shutdown all virtual machines before upgrading. Otherwise the saved
state can simply be discarded after the upgrade, if it's not
important to preserve it.
It should also be possible to downgrade to the legacy ports and
shutdown the machine properly from the saved state and then upgrade
back again.
20210302:
AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs-devel
AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org
If you get the error "Symbol's value as variable is void: minor-modes",
rebuild the offending Emacs packages. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-02/msg01164.html
for details.
20210220:
AFFECTS: users of math/py-mathics
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
math/py-mathics has been split into several ports, and Mathics Core
only provides a rudimentary command-line shell called mathics.
To get the same functionality as in 1.x, you need to install either
mathicsscript or Mathics-Django.
20210219:
AFFECTS: users of games/mangband
AUTHOR: adridg@FreeBSD.org
The client has updated from 1.1.3 (which has a single public server
left) to the current 1.5.3 (which has more public servers). If you
update, you can NOT connect to the old server any more. Remember
to finish your game before updating.
20210210:
AFFECTS: users of audio/spotifyd
AUTHOR: rodrigo@FreeBSD.org
The configuration format for audio/spotifyd is now TOML, make
sure to update your configuration file after upgrading the port.
Look at the sample configuration file for a working example.
https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd/blob/master/docs/src/config/File.md
20210208:
AFFECTS: users of mail/mailscanner
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
The clamavmodule has finally been removed after a long deprecation
period. Please remove all references to it in your mailscanner.conf as
it will now count as a syntax error and may stop MailScanner starting!
20210204:
AFFECTS: users of www/unit
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The default location for NGINX Unit's state directory has changed. It
was moved from /usr/local/libexec/unit to /var/db/unit in order to
avoid write operations on /usr/local filesystem.
20210130:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/opencv-core
AUTHOR: tcberner@FreeBSD.org
graphics/opencv-core has been reintegrated into graphics/opencv.
So there is no longer a circular dependency
opencv-core -> ffmpeg -> opencv
If you experience problems updating the packages, try
pkg delete -f opencv-core
20210124:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
The Django templating language (DTL) is no longer supported for export
templates. Please ensure that all export templates use Jinja2 before
upgrading.
Also the support for embedded graphs was completely removed and several
changes to the REST API were made. Please check the changelogs for
further details.
20210114:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/matterircd
AUTHOR: norrland@nullbyte.se
Commandline switches
Switched to viper for cmdline parsing, which does not support "short" flags.
You'll need to use --flag instead of -flag. Eg ./matterircd --debug
Bridge specific configuration is now only in configuration file. This means
the following flags have been removed: -restrict,-mmteam,-mmserver,
-mminsecure,-mmskiptlsverify.
You can set those in matterircd.toml, see the example file.
Config changes
BlacklistUser feature for slack has been renamed to DenyUsers.
JoinMpImOnTalk feature has been renamed to JoinDM and is available for
slack/mattermost
JoinInclude, JoinExclude now support regexp (see matterircd.toml.example)
20210113:
AFFECTS: users of databases/redis[-devel]
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The databases/redis port has been updated to the recent stable release.
Users wanting to stay on v5.x can replace databases/redis with
databases/redis5 with one of the following commands:
# pkg install databases/redis5
or
# portmaster -o databases/redis5 databases/redis
or
# portupgrade -o databases/redis5 databases/redis
20210106:
AFFECTS: mail/dovecot
AUTHOR: pi@FreeBSD.org
The VPOPMAIL option was removed, because it was dropped upstream,
so please check your config before upgrading.
20210106:
AFFECTS: sysutils/graylog
AUTHOR: dch@FreeBSD.org
graylog 4.0 and higher now use a new license, the SSPL. For more
details, see https://www.graylog.org/post/graylog-v4-0-licensing-sspl
20210102:
AFFECTS: x11/libexo, XFCE4 desktop users
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
XFCE4 has been updated to version 4.16. Unluckily due to how the
update works out it interacts badly with a defect in pkg which can
cause files from the libexo package to be absent after upgrade.
To avoid the issue, before upgrading all packages, please update
libexo by itself:
# pkg upgrade libexo
# pkg upgrade
If you have already upgraded and you notice XFCE issues due to
missing libraries you can recover easily by forcing reinstallation
of libexo:
# pkg upgrade -f libexo
Users upgrading via ports should not be affected.
20201228:
AFFECTS: www/py-flexget
AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
py-flexget (or py37-flexget) has been renamed to flexget.
"pkg upgrade" doesn't track MOVED file unlike portmaster, so
provide a hint e.g.,
$ pkg upgrade -x flexget
or install again, letting pkg remove the old version
$ pkg install flexget
20201218:
AFFECTS: users of www/qt5-webengine
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Users that upgrade www/qt5-webengine without using pkg/poudriere might
experience failures due to conflicts with the installed version of 5.15.2.
In that case, pkg delete -f the qt5-webengine package before building
the updated version.
20201130:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/jpeg
AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org
The graphics/jpeg port has been removed in favor of graphics/jpeg-turbo.
The former port was vulnerable and used an outdated ABI and API.
Please check your make configuration for JPEG_PORT and remove it or
set it to "jpeg-turbo" if it is currently set to "jpeg".
20201128:
AFFECTS: users of databases/cego
AUTHOR: pi@FreeBSD.org
Database updates from 2.45.x to 2.46.x require a xml tableset export
and import, since table structure information has been changed.
20201128:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby26
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 2.6 to 2.7.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.6 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 2.6 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.6
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkg, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you do not use pkg, please check entry 20190420.
The description there should also work for this version.
20201112:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/pushgateway
AUTHOR: rhurlin@FreeBSD.org
The v0.10.0 release changes the storage format. v0.10 can read the
storage format of v0.5--v0.9. It will then persist the new format so
that a downgrade won't be possible anymore [1].
For later releases >= v1.0.0 only persistence files created by v0.10+
are usable. So please, upgrade to v0.10 first to convert existing
persistence files.
It is intended to replace v0.10.0 in about four weeks from now (not
before 2020-12-12) by >= v1.3.0.
[1] https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway/releases/tag/v0.10.0
20201110:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
Changes related to the NetBox configuration:
1. If in use, LDAP authentication must be enabled by setting
REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND to 'netbox.authentication.LDAPBackend'. (The LDAP
configuration parameters in ldap_config.py remain unchanged.)
2. REMOTE_AUTH_DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS now takes a dictionary rather than a
list. This is a mapping of permission names to a dictionary of
constraining attributes, or None.
For example, ['dcim.add_site', 'dcim.change_site'] would become
{'dcim.add_site': None, 'dcim.change_site': None}.
3. Support for the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT parameter under REDIS database
configuration was removed. Set RQ_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT as a global
configuration parameter instead.
Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.
20201106:
AFFECTS: users of www/samdruckerserver
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
If upgrading from < 0.2.4, the database schema has changed.
Run these scripts to update your database:
* PostgreSQL/updates-2020.08.28.sql
* PostgreSQL/procedures.sql
These scripts are in /usr/local/share/samdrucker/PostgreSQL
20201030:
AFFECTS: users of security/openvpn
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The security/openvpn port has been updated to v2.5.0, which brings a
change to the default ciphersuite, which no longer contains BF-CBC.
Some options have been removed. Also, if you need to support very old (v2.3)
and unsupported clients or servers, you will need to adjust the
configuration. For details, see:
https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/release/2.5/Changes.rst#overview-of-changes-in-25
20201029:
AFFECTS: users of www/node
AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
The www/node port has been updated to Node.js v15.0.0, the latest
upstream release. A new port, www/node14, has been created for the
v14.x LTS branch. Users wanting to stay on v14.x can replace www/node
with www/node14 with one of the following commands:
# pkg install www/node14
or
# portmaster -o www/node14 www/node
or
# portupgrade -o www/node14 www/node
20201026:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
emulators/qemu has been updated to 5.0.1. Previous 4.2.X branch has
been repocopied to emulators/qemu42. If someone wants to stick with 4.2.X
branch please use one of the following command:
# pkg install emulators/qemu42
or
# portmaster -o emulators/qemu42 emulators/qemu
or
# portupgrade -o emulators/qemu42 emulators/qemu
20201021:
AFFECTS: users of www/py-unit
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The www/py-unit port has been renamed to www/unit-python.
20201012:
AFFECTS: Users of mesa-dri with VAAPI or VDPAU options
AUTHOR: manu@FreeBSD.org
The nondefault options VAAPI and VDPAU were removed from the mesa-dri
port and two new ports, mesa-gallium-va and mesa-gallium-vdpau now contain
the necessary libraries for using VAAPI or VDPAU on AMD hardware.
20201012:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libsoup-gnome
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
libsoup-gnome has been merged back into libsoup for people building locally:
first delete libsoup-gnome before installing the new libsoup
$ pkg delete -f libsoup-gnome
20201011:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/rundeck3 who use MySQL as database
AUTHOR: daniel.tihanyi@tetragir.com
Please note that the MySQL JDBC driver is no longer bundled with Rundeck.
Please make sure that you migrate to the MariaDB Connector or copy the
driver yourself. More instructions:
https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/upgrading/upgrading-to-rundeck-3.3.4.html
20201006:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/tenshi
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
The default location for tenshi's configuration file has changed. It was
moved to /usr/local/etc/tenshi/tenshi.conf from /usr/local/etc/tenshi.conf
in order to follow upstream defaults.
20201002:
AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail beginning with 6.4.12_1
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Note that if you are using fetchmail in a multi-user setup, i. e. with the
fetchmail_users (mind the -s!) variable set, the $fetchmail_home_prefix +
user second-guess work has been replaced by a real lookup of the user's home
directory. In the majority of configurations, this should not make a
difference, in some setups, it may open up some flexibility.
The fetchmail_home_prefix variable is ignored from 6.4.12_1 onwards.
Also, the rc script redirects its input from /dev/null so that passwords
will not be interactively queried from an rcfile. Put passwords into
the [.]fetchmailrc or into a .netrc file.
20201002:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/modules
AUTHOR: 0mp@FreeBSD.org
The upstream developers of the Modules port encourage users to consult
the MIGRATING document, which describes the major changes occurring between
versions of Modules. It provides an overview of the new features and changed
behaviors that will be encountered when upgrading:
https://modules.readthedocs.io/en/v4.6.0/MIGRATING.html
20200930:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/syslog-ng32[789]
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
rc.conf variables syslog_ng_config and syslog_ng_pid have been replaced
by syslog_ng_flags and syslog_ng_pidfile respectively, making them
consistent with the rest of the ports tree. syslog_ng_config and
syslog_ng_pid will continue to work until syslog-ng331 has been
released and imported into ports.
20200924:
AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius3, who need python support
AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org
FreeRADIUS 3.x currently uses python 2.7 for rlm_python support, which has
been deprecated and will be removed from the tree at the end of this year.
Starting in 3.0.21_2, the PYTHON option has been converted to use python 3.x.
Users should verify their python scripts are 3.x compatible and upgrade to
3.0.21_2 (or higher) to bring in python 3.x support.
20200921:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
AUTHOR: kbowling@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 11 to 12.
The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
speedup of the upgrade.
The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.
Upgrade instructions:
First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 11.9, your
files are named according to this.
# service postgresql stop
# pkg create postgresql11-server postgresql11-contrib
# mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql11-server-11.9.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql11-contrib-11.9.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# pkg delete -f databases/postgresql11-server databases/postgresql11-contrib databases/postgresql11-client
Now update PostgreSQL:
pkg user:
# pkg install databases/postgresql12-server databases/postgresql12-contrib
# pkg upgrade
Portmaster users:
# portmaster databases/postgresql12-server databases/postgresql12-contrib
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall databases/postgresql12-server databases/postgresql12-contrib
# portupgrade -a
After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
all your databases to new version:
# su -l postgres -c "/usr/local/bin/initdb --encoding=utf-8 --lc-collate=C -D /var/db/postgres/data12 -U postgres"
# su -l postgres -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /var/db/postgres/data11/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /var/db/postgres/data12/ -U postgres "
Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
# service postgresql start
ATTENTION:
1) The default user changed from "pgsql" to "postgres" in 11. The migration steps above now assume
the "postgres" database user and FreeBSD user.
2) See the updating entry 20190829 if you are updating from a release prior to 11.
3) If you use non-default initdb options, you have to adjust the initdb-command accordingly

AFFECTS: users of mail/thunderbird
AUTHOR: cmt@FreeBSD.org
Thunderbird has been updated to the 78esr series. Thunderbird will
try to convert old profiles on first start, but conversion may fail
especially on old profiles. Also, older versions of Thunderbird will
not be able to use a profile once it has been converted. It is
strongly recommended to move any ~/.thunderbird folder away before
starting Thunderbird 78 for the first time, thus creating a new and
empty profile.
Also note that OpenPGP functionality has been integrated into Thunderbird,
obsoleting the Enigmail extension.
Check https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP for details, and
especially https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards
if your private key lives on a smartcard.
20200914:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php72
AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PHP has been switched from 7.2 to 7.4.
If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
before running 'pkg upgrade':
# pkg info php7\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
If you use mod_php72 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php74.
20200811:
AFFECTS: users of *-emacs26-* packages
AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org
With the release of Emacs version 27.1, the major version of editors/emacs has
changed from 26 to 27. This means the names of some dependent packages have
also changed, so simply running `pkg upgrade` will not upgrade foo-emacs26-x
to foo-emacs27-x. To update these packages, run these commands with superuser
privileges.
Binary package users:
# sh
# for i in $(pkg query -g %n '*-emacs26*'); do \
nn=$(echo "$i" | sed -e 's/emacs26/emacs27/'); \
pkg set -yn "$i":"$nn"; \
done;
# pkg upgrade
portmaster users:
# portmaster -r emacs
20200803:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.32. If you are using
binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg
upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, follow the
instructions in entry 20161103, it should still be the same.
20200726:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/librenms
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
The %%WWWDIR%%%/logs directory has been relocated to /var/log/librenms/
via the APP_LOG directive in %%WWWDIR%%%/.env.example - this won't affect
existing installs, but you are strongly encouraged to update your .env file
settings and relocate your logs.
Logs which were going to /var/log/messages and /var/log/librenms/ now only go
to /var/log/librenms/
20200720:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/librenms
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
As mentioned previously in 20200503 polling via cronjob has been removed as of
release 1.63 - see
https://community.librenms.org/t/dropping-support-for-php-7-1-and-python-2/11851
A database upgrade is required:
cd /usr/local/www/librenms
sudo ./lnms migrate
You must migrate to the Dispatch Service:
https://docs.librenms.org/Extensions/Dispatcher-Service/
You may need to add LIBRENMS_USER to .env (see .env.example).
These steps should get you running:
* comment out the crontab entries listed above under PYPOLLER
* populate %%WWWDIR%%/.env with:
* APP_KEY - see farther below for how to create
* NODE_ID - see just below for how to create
* DB_HOST
* DB_DATABASE
* DB_USERNAME
* DB_PASSWORD
* you can create a NODE_ID with: php -r 'echo uniqid() . "\n";'
* sysrc librenms_enable="YES"
* service librenms start
20200719:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
emulators/qemu has been updated to 4.2.1. Previous 4.1.X branch has
been repocopied to emulators/qemu41. If someone wants to stick with 4.1.X
branch please use one of the following command:
# pkg install emulators/qemu41
or
# portmaster -o emulators/qemu41 emulators/qemu
or
# portupgrade -o emulators/qemu41 emulators/qemu
20200716:
AFFECTS: users of shells/bash, shells/bash-static
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
In order to cleanly decouple bash from base, bash now reads `profile` from
LOCALBASE/etc insead of from /etc. If you are using system wide bash
configuration in /etc/profile please migrate to LOCALBASE/etc/profile
# cp /etc/profile /usr/local/etc/profile
or create a symlink
# ln -s /etc/profile /usr/local/etc/
If you encounter the following error, you may have the obsolete
/lib/libreadline.so.8 lying around after an incomplete base update:
ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol "rl_signal_event_hook" referenced from COPY relocation in /usr/local/bin/bash
Please refer to to (23.5.6.2) in the FreeBSD Handbook on how to
safely check for outdated files and libraries:

20200713:
AFFECTS: users of mail/php7[2-4]-imap
AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
The imap module of PHP was compiled against cclient till now. But this lib is
unmaintained for over 7 years. When combined with modern OpenSSL there are
various crashes reported.
Switching to the fork panda-cclient fixes these issues. Therefore we make the
usage of Panda cclient the new default. If you want to use the old cclient,
you need to enable it now!
20200616:
AFFECTS: users of www/baikal
AUTHOR: gahr@FreeBSD.org
The www/baikal has been updated to 0.7.1. With the 0.7.0 release, our
configuration format was updated to use YAML files. You need to go through
the installer again but we pre-fill most values with the ones from your old
installation. We recommend that you make a full backup of your data, as a
safety measure. Starting with 0.7.0, Baikal stores data in both the Specific
and the config folders. Keep this in mind when upgrading!
Known issue:: Upgrading from versions older than 0.6.1 does not work.
20200613:
AFFECTS: users of editors/libreoffice
AUTHOR: fluffy@FreeBSD.org
LibreOffice was updated to 6.4 branch with some critical changes:
- GTK2 option is obsolete by upstream
- GTK3 option is not more set by default because of unstable yet and have visual glitches
- QT5 option is set by default to provide comfy visual style for every user
- KDE option was renamed to KF5 follows upstream
Please re-run "make config" to pick up the new defaults
20200610:
AFFECTS: users of www/node
AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
The www/node port has been updated to Node.js v14.0.0, the latest
upstream release. This is a major release, including many significant
changes. Users are encouraged to read the release announcements before
upgrading:

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/py-salt
AUTHOR: krion@FreeBSD.org
This port is moved to sysutils/py-salt-2019 and sysutils/py-salt was
updated to version 3000.
If you wish to use pysalt-2019 in the future, you might run the
following command:
# pkg set -o sysutils/py-salt:sysutils/py-salt-2019
# pkg upgrade
20200531:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-policyd-spf-python
AUTHOR: yasu@utahime.org
This port is now deprecated because upstream project is superseded by its
successor. So uninstall this port and install mail/py-spf-engine instead.
Keep in mind that the path of configuration file is changed from
${PREFIX}/etc/postfix-policyd-spf-python/policyd-spf.conf to
${PREFIX}/etc/python-policyd-spf/policyd-spf.conf. So you need to move
it to new location unless you use the default one without changing.
20200526:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mariadb104-client, databases/mariadb104-server
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The ports now add sample configuration files to /usr/local/etc/mysql. You
must merge your client configuration with the conf.d/client.cnf and your
server configuration with conf.d/server.cnf.
20200518:
AFFECTS: users of converters/libiconv
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
Support for the Japanese specific patches have been discontinued.
These were previously added in a nondefault ports options, for people who
needed them.
If you still need them, it might be possible to create a port of libiconv 1.14
which includes those patches.
20200517:
AFFECTS: users of x11/sddm
AUTHOR: arrowd@FreeBSD.org
The home directory of sddm user has been moved to /var/lib/sddm. It is advised
to run following commands as root after updating the package:
# pw usermod -n sddm -d /var/lib/sddm
# pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd
# mv /usr/local/etc/sddm/home/state.conf /var/lib/sddm/state.conf
# rm -rf /usr/local/etc/sddm/home
Otherwise, SDDM will keep using /usr/local/etc/sddm/home/ as its HOME.
20200515:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libphutil, devel/arcanist-lib, devel/phabricator
AUTHOR: grembo@FreeBSD.org
Upstream fully deprecated devel/libphutil and merged its functionality
into devel/arcanist-lib and devel/phabricator. As a result, the
devel/libphutil port will be removed from the ports tree.
After upgrading devel/(arcanist-lib|phabricator) to version 20200514, it is
recommended to remove the orphaned libphutil package by running:
# pkg delete php\*-libphutil
Alternatively, 'pkg autoremove' will also work as expected, but might
remove orphaned packages unrelated to this update.
20200505:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/pidgin-rocketchat
AUTHOR: tobias.rehbein@web.de
This port has been turned into a libpurple plugin (net-im/purple-rocketchat)
to support other libpurple clients than pidgin.
This also changes some dependencies and you should run the following command
to prevent pidgin from being autoremoved.
# mark pidgin as being not automatically installed
pkg set -A 0 pidgin
20200504:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/hs-xmonad
AUTHOR: arrowd@FreeBSD.org
From now, it is recommended to use "build script" method to compile XMonad

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ansible
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
Ansible has been updated to 2.9.7. Please follow the porting guide
to update the rulesets:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.9.html
If you wish to stay with 2.8 version, you can switch

# pkg set -n ansible:ansible28
20200428:
AFFECTS: x11-servers/xwayland-devel
AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
DRI3 is enabled by default since mesa-libs-18.3.2_4, so you no
longer need to define LIBGL_DRI3_ENABLE in ~/.profile or ~/.login.
See 20200308 entry for more details.
20200422:
AFFECTS: users of devel/kyua
AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org
A tests group has been added and the tests user should be a member
of it by default rather than nobody. You should update your password
database to match (change the group from 65534 to 977 after updating).

AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
OpenSSH was upgraded to 8.2p1 on 2020-03-23.
A restart of sshd is required after upgrade due to an incompatibility
introduced in 8.2.
Please see https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.2 for upcoming
deprecation notices.
20200408
AFFECTS: users of net/irrd
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
Legacy version of net/irrd has been moved to net/irrd-legacy.
net/irrd has been upgraded to 4.X branch. If someone wants to stick with
legacy version then pkg users have to do something like
# pkg set -o net/irrd:net/irrd-legacy
For portmaster users
# portmaster -o net/irrd-legacy net/irrd
Both of the version can be installed and used concurrently in case there is
a need for migration
20200403:
AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/fontconfig
AUTHOR: desktop@FreeBSD.org
Fontconfig 2.13.1 generated .uuid files in the fonts directory which where
not properly registered to the packages. To clean them up, please execute the
following command:
find /usr/local/share/fonts -type f -name .uuid -delete
20200326:
AFFECTS: users of devel/sonarqube and devel/sonar-ant-task
AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org
The outdated port devel/sonarqube has moved to
devel/sonarqube-community to make it clear that it is the community
edition. The log and DB files are still stored in the same location.
The devel/sonar-ant-task port has moved to devel/sonarqube-ant-task
to match the upstream-name. The install location is renamed
accordingly.
At the same time the user/group of the sonarqube port changed from
www:www to sonarqube:sonarqube.
It is expected that nobody was using the 6.2 version from 2016
anymore and no change needs to be done. No analysis was done to check
if the old 6.2 version can be updated in-place to the 8.2 version.
As such if there is still someone using the old 6.2 version, you may
have to delete /var/log/sonarqube and /var/db/sonarqube before
installing the new version.
20200320
AFFECTS: users of devel/qca
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
New versions of devel/qca stopped supporting OpenSSL < 1.1.
For this reason devel/qca-legacy has been added, which is
held back at an older version until FreeBSD 11 goes EOL.
Ports depending on devel/qca should stop adding direct LIB_DEPENDS
and switch to depending on it via USES=qca.
FreeBSD 11 users might want to run something like
pkg set -o devel/qca:devel/qca-legacy
20200320:
AFFECTS: users of x11/libxkbcommon
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The libxkbcommon library (x11/libxkbcommon), used to handle keyboards
in some applications, most notably kde and wayland, have been switched
to use evdev rules by default on FreeBSD 12 and later. Some keys, most
notably arrow keys, may not work in applications using libxkbcommon if
you are using xf86-input-keyboard rather than xf86-input-libinput.
If you have trouble with the keyboard keys, and if /var/log/Xorg.*.log
shows that the "kbd" or "keyboard" driver is being used, you need to
switch to legacy rules by setting the environment variable
XKB_DEFAULT_RULES to xorg.
This switch is made to match the default configuration on FreeBSD 12.1 and
later, the default configuration on FreeBSD 11.3 still uses the legacy
rules.
20200316:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/slack-term
AUTHOR: dmgk@FreeBSD.org
The config file location was changed from ~/.slack-term to
~/.config/slack-term/config, please move your existing config file
accordingly.
20200308
AFFECTS: users of graphics/mesa-libs and legacy graphics drivers
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The mesa OpenGL library (graphics/mesa-libs) has been switched to use DRI3
by default, instead of the older DRI2 interface. This might cause regressions
when using the legacy graphics drivers, either through
graphics/drm-legacy-kmod or the graphics drivers in base.
If you experience issues when running OpenGL applications it is possible
to force the use of DRI2 by setting the LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE environment
variable to 1 before starting any OpenGL application. The easiest way to
do this is by adding it to either your shell startup files or .xinitrc.
20200306
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql80-server
AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org
As of MySQL 8.0.16, the MySQL server performs the upgrade tasks previously
handled by mysql_upgrade. Consequently, mysql_upgrade is unneeded and is
deprecated as of that version, and will be removed in a future MySQL version.
Because mysql_upgrade no longer performs upgrade tasks,
it exits with status 0 unconditionally.
20200303:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/librenms
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
1. Apache / mod_php options removed
The APACHEMOD option has been removed. LibreNMS can be used
with other webservers, not just Apache. In order to simplify
the port, the option was removed.
Now you manually install the webserver of your preference.
If upgrading from LibreNMS < 1.61, you can do this to
prevent 'pkg autoremove' from uninstalling Apache / mod_php:
$ sudo pkg set -A 0 apache24 mod_php74
Mark apache24-2.4.41 as not automatically installed? [y/N]: y
Mark mod_php74-7.4.3 as not automatically installed? [y/N]: y
Adjust mod_php74 to suit the version of mod_php you have.
2. include/defaults.inc.php is gone
The file include/defaults.inc.php is no longer distributed by
the upstream project. The FreeBSD port patched this file to
correct the paths to common tools such as ping, snmpwalk, etc.
These values previously adjusted by the port must now be specified
in config.php. New installs will have this automatically, but existing
installs must be updated manually. These are the entries you should
add if upgrading from LibreNMS < 1.61:
$config['snmpwalk'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpwalk';
$config['snmpget'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpget';
$config['snmpbulkwalk'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmpbulkwalk';
$config['snmptranslate'] = '/usr/local/bin/snmptranslate';
$config['ping'] = '/sbin/ping';
$config['mtr'] = '/usr/local/bin/mtr';
$config['nmap'] = '/usr/local/bin/nmap';
$config['nagios_plugins'] = '/usr/local/libexec/nagios';
$config['ipmitool'] = '/usr/local/bin/ipmitool';
$config['virsh'] = '/usr/local/bin/virsh';
$config['dot'] = '/usr/local/bin/dot';
$config['sfdp'] = '/usr/local/bin/sfdp';
$config['nfdump'] = '/usr/local/bin/nfdump';
20200229:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/apache-solr
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
Apache-solr switched to the supported java LTS version 11.
Make sure you update the following files accordingly:
/usr/local/etc/solr.in.sh (see /usr/local/etc/solr.in.sh.sample)
/usr/local/etc/javavm_opts.conf (JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/openjdk11/)
20200225:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netbox
AUTHOR: kai@FreeBSD.org
1. Removal of the Topology Maps feature
The deprecated topology maps feature has been removed. Please replicate
any required data to another source before upgrading NetBox to v2.7.7, as
any existing topology maps will be deleted.
2. Changed REDIS database configuration settings
The REDIS database configuration parameters were splitted up in two
discrete subsections named "webhooks" and "caching" with the 2.7 release.
This requires modification of the REDIS parameter in configuration.py as
follows:
Old Redis sample configuration:
REDIS = {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6379,
'PASSWORD': '',
'DATABASE': 0,
'CACHE_DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
}
New Redis sample configuration:
REDIS = {
'webhooks': {
'HOST': 'redis.example.com',
'PORT': 1234,
'PASSWORD': 'foobar',
'DATABASE': 0,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
},
'caching': {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6379,
'PASSWORD': '',
'DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,
}
}
Note that the CACHE_DATABASE parameter has been removed and the connection
settings have been duplicated for both webhooks and caching. This allows
one to make use of separate Redis instances if desired. It is fine to use
the same Redis service for both functions, although the database
identifiers should be different.
Please also check the pkg-message and the changelogs for further info.
20200223:
AFFECTS: users of security/gsasl
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The library part of security/gsasl has been split into security/libgsasl.
The security/gsasl now depends on security/libgsasl. Due to this change,
old security/gsasl conflicts with the new security/libgsasl and it can
prevent the installed security/gsasl from upgrading. Please remove the
installed security/gsasl before upgrading if a conflict error occurs.
20200220:
AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
x11-servers/xorg-server has been updated to 1.20.7.
With this update, xorg-server has switched from using the devd backend to
the udev backend for device configuration on FreeBSD 12 and 13. If you have
issues with input devices, please see the install message for details.
The HAL backend option has been completely removed, as it was deprecated.
If you have problems with input devices, ensure that both x11/libinput and
x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput are installed. They are installed in the
default configuration, but if you have a custom configuration, they might not
be.
20200210:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/prosody
AUTHOR: thomas@beingboiled.info
Prosody's pid file and data directory have moved to a new location.
If you are upgrading from a version with the pid file and data
directory in /usr/local/var/lib/prosody please perform these steps:
# stop Prosody
pkill -F /usr/local/var/lib/prosody/prosody.pid
# copy the data directory
cp -a /usr/local/var/lib/prosody /var/db/
rm -f /var/db/prosody/prosody.pid
Make sure your prosody config has the following option set:
pidfile = "/var/run/prosody/prosody.pid"
Then start Prosody again. Everything should be working as before and
the /usr/local/var/lib/prosody directory can now be removed.

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

REDIS = {
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': 6397,
'PASSWORD': ''
'DATABASE': 0,
'CACHE_DATABASE': 1,
'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
'SSL': False,

Note that if you were using these settings in a prior release with
webhooks, the DATABASE setting remains the same but an additional
CACHE_DATABASE settings has been added with a default value of 1 to
support the caching backend.
The DATABASE setting will be renamed in a future release of NetBox to
better relay the meaning of the setting. It is highly recommended to keep

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

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

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

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

The port has been updated to the latest stable version 3.0.2, which
includes more plugins by default, but also requires manual changes to
graylog's configuration files, possibly port and URL changes, such as
X-Graylog-Server-URL settings, and elasticsearch must be >= 5.
The location of configuration files has been amended to align with the
official distribution files and locations.
After upgrading, manually review and merge changes from your
/usr/local/etc/graylog/server/server.conf into
/usr/local/etc/graylog/graylog.conf
Consult https://www.graylog.org/post/announcing-graylog-v3-0-ga for
further details.

AUTHOR: stb@lassitu.de
Gitea requires the addition of another secret to the config file in order
to start up. Either manually add JWT_SECRET to the
${PREFIX}/etc/gitea/conf/app.ini config file (see app.ini.sample), or allow
Gitea to make the change for you by making the config file writable to the
git user.

AFFECTS: users of www/node
AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
The www/node port has been updated to Node.js v12.0.0, the latest
upstream release. This is a major release, including many significant
changes. Users are encouraged to read the release announcements before
upgrading:
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v12.0.0/
20190423:
AFFECTS: users of www/gitlab-ce
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
The directory where all repositories and ssh permissions are stored
was changed from /usr/home/git back to /usr/local/git, to match again the
recommended standards on FreeBSD.
This will cause now some other git management packages to collide with
gitlab. Make sure you migrate all you git repositories to gitlab first,
before you continue.
Make sure /usr/local/git/repositories and /usr/local/git/.ssh are not
existing!
Otherwise the next commands can break your installation for managing
git repositories within gitlab and with your other gitlab management
software!
You must move the old files to the new location with:
# service gitlab stop
# mv /usr/home/git /usr/local/
# pkg upg
Make sure you update your config files, diff shows you what you maybe
must change:
# cd /usr/local/www/gitlab-ce
# git diff config/gitlab.yml.sample config/gitlab.yml
# cd /usr/local/share/gitlab-shell/
# git diff config.yml.sample config.yml
# cd /usr/local/share/gitaly
# git diff config.toml.sample config.toml
# Change home directory of user git back to /usr/local/git
# vipw
The line should now looks like:
git:*:211:211::0:0:gitosis user:/usr/local/git:/bin/sh
If you do an upgrade of gitlab follow the upgrade guide.
If not, just start gitlab again with:
# service gitlab start

AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.9 of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
list of dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r libressl
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr security/libressl

AFFECTS: users of databases/cego
AUTHOR: pi@FreeBSD.org
To upgrade from cego 2.39.16 to 2.44.1, you need to export to xml before
the upgrade and import from xml after the upgrade, because the internal
storage has changed for some types.
Use these steps:
- export your database while it runs, see
http://www.lemke-it.com/litexec?request=pubcegodoc&user=&lang=en§ion=cgdoc_database_running.html#tsimpexp_mode
for details.
- stop the database
service cego stop
- upgrade the port/package
- re-create the database
cego --mode=create --tableset=<database> --dbxml=<database>.xml
- import the database
cego --mode=xmlimport --tableset=<database> \
--dbxml=<database>.xml --impfile=export.xml --doLogging
- modify /etc/rc.conf by adding
cego_<database>_cpdump="YES"

AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby24
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 2.4 to 2.5.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.4 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 2.4 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.4
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkgng, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# portmaster -o lang/ruby25 lang/ruby24
# portmaster -R -r ruby-2.5
If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# pkg delete -f ruby portupgrade
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade install clean
# pkg set -o lang/ruby24:lang/ruby25
# portupgrade -x ruby-2.5.\* -fr lang/ruby25

The default Nagios version supported by net-mgmt/mk-livestatus changed
from Nagios 3 to Nagios 4 - the respective Nagios package was added to
net-mgmt/mk-livestatus' runtime dependencies.
If you still need support for Nagios 3 you just need to change the

20190202:
AFFECTS: users of archivers/urbackup-server
AUTHOR: freebsd@coombscloud.com
Some of the port's sources previously included absolute references to /etc/urbackup.
The upgrade now changes these references to ${PREFIX}/etc/urbackup. If you have

AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The fluentd port has been upgraded from the 0.12 line to 1.3.3. The upgrade
is mostly non-disruptive since there is a backward compatibility with 0.12
plugins and configuration files, but care should be taken about the order of
server upgrades since fluentd 1.x is unable to send it's data to version 0.12
instances. You should carefully read
https://docs.fluentd.org/v1.0/articles/update-from-v0.12 before performing
any upgrade activities.

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

AFFECTS: users of net/GeoIP
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
Maxmind no longer provides geolocation data in the legacy format used
by net/GeoIP. All GEOIP-related OPTIONS have been removed, and all
GeoIP-dependent ports will be removed soon.
Where possible, you must switch to net/libmaxminddb, which uses the
newer (and fully supported) GeoIP 2 format. Unfortunately, this is
not a drop-in replacement. To fetch the GeoIP 2 geolocation databases,
whether the free or paid versions, you must use net/geoipupdate
(pkg install geoipupdate).
The legacy database is no longer available, and we cannot distribute
it by the Maxmind license, so the legacy GeoIP format is essentially
dead.

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-connector-java
AUTHOR: matthew@FreeBSD.org
The databases/mysql-connector-java port has been updated to 8.0.13,

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

After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
If you use mod_php71 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php72.

AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.8 of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
list of dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r libressl
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr security/libressl
20181018:
AFFECTS: users of security/hitch
AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org
Hitch has been updated to run as the hitch user/group, instead of the
previous default of nobody/nobody. You should review your hitch
configuration to ensure that everything has been updated to reflect
this change.

# pkg set -n ansible:ansible26
20181010:
AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap and other courier ports
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Courier-IMAP 5.0.0 added IMAP UTF8 support, and converted maildir
folders' names to Unicode.
Updating an existing system to Courier-IMAP 5.0, and later,
requires a manual one-time conversion of all existing maildirs
using the maildirmake command. See the maildirmake(1) manual page
for more information.
All other courier ports accessing maildirs also need to be updated
at the same time.
20181009:

AFFECTS: users of DRM components
AUTHOR: jmd@FreeBSD.org
A metaport, graphics/drm-kmod, was introduced for users of both the LinuxKPI-
based DRM components as well as the legacy ones. It is recommended to use the
metaport from now on, which will select a recommended DRM version based on
the FreeBSD version.
20180924:
AFFECTS: www/libresonic-standalone
AUTHOR: jlh@FreeBSD.org
HTTPS support has been removed from the port, as it will be removed upstream:
https://github.com/Libresonic/libresonic/issues/125#issuecomment-256227104
In order to avoid strange behavior for users who are using this feature, the
rc.d script will fail fast if libresonic_ssl="YES". You should remove the
following variables from rc.conf(5): libresonic_ssl libresonic_ssl_keystore
libresonic_ssl_password.
# sed -i '' /libresonic_ssl/d /etc/rc.conf
Users needing SSL are encouraged to use an HTTP reverse-proxy. Example
configurations can be found here:

20180922:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/ilmbase, graphics/OpenEXR
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The IlmBase package has been updated to 2.3.0.
The OpenEXR package has been renamed to openexr and updated to 2.3.0.
The PORTREVISION of all ports requiring either has been bumped to
ease the rebuilds, and where there were versions in the file names,
these have been removed from the *_DEPENDS lines for easier maintenance.
A full ports or package upgrade should just work.
If you are doing partial updates, be sure to rebuild and reinstall
all packages that require either of OpenEXR or ilmbase.
Normally, these can be listed by running:
# pkg info -q -r OpenEXR ilmbase | sort -u | xargs pkg info -q -o
20180905:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php56
AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PHP has been switched from 5.6 to 7.1.
If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
before running 'pkg upgrade':
# pkg info php5\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
If you use mod_php56 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php71.
20180901:
AFFECTS: net/samba48
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Samba ports from now on are not dependent from the databases/ldb* ports,
as the link between Samba and LDB is too tight and each next major Samba
release requires it's own major LDB release. Please, remove installed
version of databases/ldb13 from your system with:
# pkg delete -f databases/ldb13
20180901:
AFFECTS: net-mgmt/librenms
AUTHOR: dvl@FreeBSD.org
As of version 1.42, to conform with man hier, logs and rrd files have
relocated outside the WWW directory. When upgrading from < 1.42 to more
recent versions, the following steps are required.
You must update config.php and manually relocate the rrd and log files.
Before upgrading, please stop librenms, update the configuration, and
relocate the files.
If you find graphs are not updating, fping >= 4.0 requires an IPv6
address. Adding an IPv6 address should fix graphing.
Please add these entries to config.php:
$config['installed_from_package'] = true;
$config['log_dir'] = '/var/log/librenms';
$config['rrd_dir'] = '/var/db/librenms/rrd';
To relocate the files:
mkdir /var/log/librenms /var/db/librenms
chown www:ww: /var/log/librenms /var/db/librenms
cd /usr/local/www/librenms
mv rrd /var/db/librenms/
mv logs/librenms.log /var/log/librenms/
rmdir logs
An application key is required. Please follow these steps to generate it:
cd /usr/local/www/librenms
cp -i .env.sample .env
You might need to set your database details in that file.
Then run:
php artisan key:generate
The output should look something like this:
**************************************
* Application In Production! *
**************************************
Do you really wish to run this command? (yes/no) [no]:
> y
Application key [base64:P62La9V........qw=] set successfully.

AFFECTS: databases/postgresql??-server
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The PostgreSQL server packages are no longer built with support for the XML
datatype per default. To retain support for the XML datatype you should build
the port and check the XML option in the option dialog. The reason for this
is the bad security reputation of libxml2.
20180806:
AFFECTS: www/tt-rss
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
tt-rss now uses pdo_mysql/pgsql for database access; a web server reload

AFFECTS: users of audio/sndio
AUTHOR: tobik@FreeBSD.org
sndiod(8) will now use the default audio device /dev/dsp instead
of /dev/dsp0 if no device was specified.
The location of ~/.aucat_cookie has moved to ~/.sndio/cookie. If
you share audio devices via sndiod(8) on the network or between
local users, please migrate it manually to the new location to
guarantee a smooth upgrade.
20180731:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg and all ports with USE_XORG=*proto
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The xorg *proto packages have all been merged into one package,
x11/xorgproto. This might cause issues with upgrading. If you
get conflicts between xorgproto and old *proto packages, please
remove the old package and install xorgproto again.
In order to remove all orphaned ports, including all *proto port,
the following can be used after the ports tree has been updated:
pkg version -l \? | cut -f 1 -w | grep -v compat | xargs pkg delete -fy

Due to a migration from IBusConfig to GSettings, the old settings are
unfortunately lost, so one has to open the setup tool and recreate ones
favourite settings.
20180714:
AFFECTS: users of dns/dnsdist
AUTHOR: cpm@FreeBSD.org
After discussing with several users, we noticed that quite a lot of them
were not aware that enabling the dnsdist's console without a key, even
restricted to the local host, could be a security issue and allow privilege
escalation by allowing an unprivileged user to connect to the console and
execute Lua code as the dnsdist user. We therefore decided to refuse any
connection to the console until a key has been set, so please check that
you do set a key before upgrading if you use the console.

20180704:
AFFECTS: users of www/gitlab
AUTHOR: mfechner@FreeBSD.org
The gitlab port uses the package from gitlab.org instead of github.org.
For this the port was renamed from gitlab to gitlab-ce.
Please follow the instructions very carefully to not lose your data!
Not only the package was renamed, also the directory name changed.
You can find the current instruction here:
https://gitlab.fechner.net/mfechner/Gitlab-docu/blob/master/update/10.8-11.0-freebsd.md
Please note the update was only tested for an update from 10.8.5 to 11.0.2.
If your version of gitlab was released before 2014-03-13 you cannot update
to this version. You need to make an intermediate update to an earlier
version before.

AFFECTS: users of the nox flavor of editors/emacs-devel
AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org
The package name for the nox flavor of editors/emacs-devel changed from
emacs-devel_nox to emacs-devel-nox. To install the new package, run
# pkg install emacs-devel-nox
pkg should remove the old and install the new package.
20180612:
AFFECTS: users of packages that depend on Emacs
AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org
With the release of Emacs version 26.1, the major version of editors/emacs
changed from 25 to 26, so the names of packages that depend on Emacs have also
changed. For example, pdf-tools-emacs25-0.80.79_1 is now called
pdf-tools-emacs26-0.80.79_1. The name change means simply running `pkg
upgrade` will not upgrade foo-emacs25-x to foo-emacs26-x.
To list the packages to upgrade, use
# pkg info \*emacs25\*
then install the new version for each with
# pkg install foo-emacs26
pkg should remove the old and install the new packages.
20180611:
AFFECTS: users of PHP based applications
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Flavors are being added to PHP applications. When a port is flavorized, pkg
needs to be told about the name change, for example, if PHP 5.6 is the one
you need:
# pkg set -n squirrelmail:squirrelmail-php56
Most port will have packages for all PHP versions present in the ports tree,
but some may not be compatible with a specific version.
To get the available flavors, pkg rquery can be used:
# pkg rquery %n mail/squirrelmail
squirrelmail-php56
squirrelmail-php70
squirrelmail-php71
squirrelmail-php72
20180602:
AFFECTS: users of net/frr

20180529:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/ibus-typing-booster
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
Attention, this release merges all engines into one. Therefore, the
engine names had to change. The old engine names like "German - DE

If one has entries for them in the Gnome Control Center or in
ibus-setup, one needs to remove these old entries and add the new
engine name "Other (Typing Booster)".

upstream release. This is a major release, including many significant
changes. Users are encouraged to read the release announcements before
upgrading:
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v10.0.0/
In particular, Node.js now depends on OpenSSL 1.1.0h, so the
BUNDLED_SSL option is enabled by default. Users can disable this
option when using security/openssl-devel as their default SSL library.
20180430:
AFFECTS: users of news/nntp
AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
The option INETD was removed. If you used inetd, please change the path

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/zrepl
AUTHOR: woodsb02@FreeBSD.org
The zrepl update to 0.0.3 includes the following breaking changes:
- Snapshots are automatically bookmarked and pruning of bookmarks must
be configured by adding the keep_bookmarks parameter to the prune
policy section of the zrepl configuration file (source side only).
Be sure to understand the meaning bookmarks have for maximum
allowable replication downtime.
- The ssh+stdinserver transport protocol has changed, requiring zrepl
to be updates on both the sending and receiving side, and the daemon
restarted on both sides.
- The first outlet in the global.logging section of the configuration
file is now used for logging meta-errors (e.g. problems encountered
when writing to other logging outlets).

AFFECTS: users of mail/postgrey
AUTHOR: ports.maintainer@evilphi.com
If you use any of the optional make.conf variables to specify the
postgrey user, group, db dir, or run dir when building the port, you will
need to change the prefix from PG_ to POSTGREY_*. The variables were
renamed to solve a namespace collision with the PostgreSQL ports.
20180412:
AFFECTS: users of devel/php-composer
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Flavors have been added to the composer port with the update to

AFFECTS: users of KDE SC4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
Most of KDE Applications 17.12.3 have now landed in the ports tree.
There are still some missing pieces, that will follow soon.
As mentioned in the commit messages, users of KDE SC4 should stick with the
<foo>-kde4 named package.
As the MOVED entries for ports like databases/akonadi-kde4 have been removed
in the process of updating (as there now is again a databases/akonad), there
might be issues for people that update from a too old installed package list
with portmaster.
These should be fixable by issuing a command à la
# pkg set --change-origin databases/akonadi:databases/akonadi-kde4 akonadi
20180409:

AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Unison has been upgraded to version 2.51, which uses a different
wire protocol than 2.48 did. In order to support synchronization
with other computers where Unison is still at version 2.48, a new
port net/unison248 has been created. It provides unison248 and,
for the x11 flavor, also unison248-text. This unison248 port can
be installed in parallel with the existing net/unison port.
20180308:
AFFECTS: */php* */pecl* */pear*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
PHP extensions and modules have been flavored.
People using Poudriere 3.2+ and binary packages do not have to do anything if
they are using PHP applications.
PHP modules and extensions may have change their names from php5- or php7- to
fully versionned phpXY-.
PECL extensions and PEAR modules package names have changed from pecl- and
pear- to phpXX-pecl and phpXX-pear-.
To rename an installed package to match the new naming scheme, for example,
for the imagick pecl extension, run:
# pkg set -n pecl-imagick:php56-pecl-imagick
For other people, to build the PHP 7.2 version of, for example,
databases/php-memcached, you need to run:
# make FLAVOR=php72 install
20180220:

package:
# cd /usr/local/www/nextcloud
# su -m www -c "php ./occ config:system:set appstoreenabled --value=false --type=boolean"
If you've already updated your nextcloud package, you must manually edit
the configuration of nextcloud (config/config.php) and add
'appstoreenabled' => false,
to the CONFIG array before the updater will run.

The default ruby version has been updated from 2.3 to 2.4.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.3 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 2.3 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.3
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkgng, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# portmaster -o lang/ruby24 lang/ruby23
# portmaster -R -r ruby-2.4
If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# pkg delete -f ruby portupgrade
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade install clean
# pkg set -o lang/ruby23:lang/ruby24
# portupgrade -x ruby-2.4.\* -fr lang/ruby24

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/pmacct
AUTHOR: pi@FreeBSD.org
To allow separate pmacctd instances per interface, use
pmacctd_enable="YES"
pmacctd_interfaces="re1 re2"
in /etc/rc.conf. The path to the config files will be
/usr/local/etc/pmacct/<interface>
20180208:
AFFECTS: users of mail/mailman*
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
In order to overcome complaints about mismatched checksums in
Mailman/Default.py, mailman now configures the DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST
and DEFAULT_URL_HOST to "localhost" statically, and the rc script
will check this and refuse to start on next boot.
Users must configure DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST in
Mailman/mm_cfg.py properly and add this line below:
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
A short example has been added to:
${PREFIX}/local/share/doc/mailman/FreeBSD-post-install-notes.
As of 2.1.26_3, the post-install script will add back the prior
default settings to mm_cfg.py (instead of Defaults.py) if no
virtual hosts have been defined, to cover the normal use cases
and initial installation.
20180201:
AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs* and all ports using Emacs via USES=emacs
AUTHOR: jrm@FreeBSD.org
The Emacs ports framework has been updated to support flavors and the
editors/emacs-nox11 port has been replaced by the nox flavors of
editors/emacs and editors/emacs-devel.
Supported Flavors
--------------------------------------------------------
editors/emacs: full canna nox
editors/emacs-devel: full nox
ports using Emacs: full canna nox devel_full devel_nox
--------------------------------------------------------
For those using pre-built packages, if
# pkg upgrade
does not install the new Emacs package, use one of
# pkg install emacs
# pkg install emacs-canna
# pkg install emacs-nox
# pkg install emacs-devel
# pkg install emacs-devel-nox
For those building their own packages, a flavor other than the default must be
specified. For example, to build the nox flavor of editors/emacs, or to build
the devel_full flavor of a port using Emacs, use
# poudriere bulk -j 11amd64 editors/emacs@nox
# poudriere bulk -j 11amd64 print/pdf-tools@devel_full
or
# make FLAVOR=nox install
# make FLAVOR=devel_full
An alternative to the default flavor, full, for editors/emacs and
editors/emacs-devel can be set in make.conf. For example, to specify nox as
the default flavor for both ports, use
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/editors/emacs*}
FLAVOR?=nox
.endif
For ports using Emacs, an alternative to the default flavor, full,
can be also be set in make.conf. For example, to automatically depend on
emacs-nox, use
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=emacs=nox
20180117:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/kf5-kirigami2 and x11/kf5-plasma-framework
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
Files that were previously installed by kf5-kirigami2 are now installed
by kf5-plasma-framework. This can lead to a conflict during the upgrade
of the packages.
It is recommended to first remove the package kf5-kirigami2.
20180115:
AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/transmission-daemon
AUTHOR: woodsb02@FreeBSD.org
The transmission-daemon port has been updated to 2.92_4 to incorporate
a patch which mitigates DNS rebinding attacks. This will prevent
clients from being able to connect to the transmission daemon using
DNS with any hostname other than localhost, unless one of the
following is done:
- Enable password authentication, then any hostname is allowed.
This can be achieved by either:
- setting rpc-authentication-required to true, and adding
credentials to the rpc-username and rpc-password fields in
settings.json (must be done whilst the transmission service is
stopped); or
- running transmission-daemon with the following arguments
(these can be set with transmission_flags in /etc/rc.conf):
-t -u USERNAME -v PASSWORD
OR
- Add the allowed server hostnames to the rpc-host-whitelist setting
in settings.json (must be done whilst the transmission service is
stopped). Note that this value is NOT a list of allowed CLIENTS,
but instead a list of allowed SERVER hostnames.
20180111:
AFFECTS: users of editors/vim-lite
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The vim-lite port has been renamed to vim-console, because it isn't
actually any lighter. All three vim packages are built with
--enable-features=huge. Portmaster users will need to run this
command:
portmaster -o editors/vim-console editors/vim-lite
If the switch doesn't happen automatically for you, just delete the
vim-lite package and install vim-console.
20180109:
AFFECTS: users of www/qt5-webengine
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The upgrade of www/qt5-webengine to 5.9.3 may fail if an older version
of it is installed. It is recommended to either build the port in a
builder like poudriere, or to deinstall and then doing an install.
20180107:
AFFECTS: users of security/gnupg and mail/mutt and mail/neomutt
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The invocation for gpg from mutt/neomutt changed between gnupg-2.0
(which has expired and is now removed) and gnupg-2.2 (the current
version in the tree). Unless you're using gpgme, PGP-related
commands may fail in (neo)mutt.
In all cases, users are strongly urged to use security/gpgme to take
care of the setup for you. If you prefer to roll your own, the
following muttrc/neomuttrc entry has been reported to work:
pgp_decrypt_command="gpg2 %?p?--passphrase-fd 0 --pinentry-mode=loopback? --no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
See muttrc(5), neomuttrc(5), mutt.org, and neomutt.org for instructions
on (neo)mutt's gpg and gpgme instructions.
20180102:
AFFECTS: users of devel/awscli
AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
The package name for devel/awscli has changed (back) to just awscli.
The introduction of flavors erroneously caused the awscli package to
be renamed to py27-awscli.
20171230:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd
AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org
If you are building ejabberd 17.11 on a host, which already has an older
version of ejabberd installed, then build process will fail with "unknown type
specifier" errors. As a workaround, please uninstall ejabberd before building
ejabberd.
This has been reported upstream at:

AFFECTS: users of dns/dnscrypt-proxy
AUTHOR: egypcio@googlemail.com
The 1.9.5_3 update of dns/dnscrypt-proxy replaces the default resolver used
by dnscrypt-proxy (cisco/OpenDNS) by a random one that does not log entries

20171223:
AFFECTS: users of samba44
AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
The default version of samba has been switched from 4.4 to 4.6.
Upgrade instructions:
For package users having samba44 installed indirectly (as a dependency):
# pkg upgrade
For package users having samba44 installed directly (leaf port):
# pkg upgrade
# pkg install samba46
For ports users:
If you want to keep samba44, add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= samba=4.4 to make.conf
If you want to upgrade to samba46, remove samba44:
# pkg delete -f samba44
Portmaster users:
# portmaster net/samba46
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall net/samba46
# portupgrade -a
20171218:
AFFECTS: users of devel/gogs
AUTHOR: dg@syrec.org
Gogs user has been changed to "git" and configuration files are now
located in /usr/local/etc/gogs. Users should update ownership of the
existing Gogs directories with
# chown -R git:git /var/db/gogs
# chown -R git:git /var/log/gogs
and either move or merge the contents of /var/db/gogs/home/.ssh with
/usr/local/git/.ssh. After migration, /var/db/gogs/home can be removed,
and both the user "gogs" and the group "gogs" should be deleted:
# rm -rf /var/db/gogs/home
# pw userdel gogs
# pw groupdel gogs
20171215:
AFFECTS: users of finance/gnucash
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The gnucash port has been converted too use flavors, the GUILE1
and GUILE2 options have been converted to flavors so that two
separate packages can be provided.
Since the next major release of gnucash will drop guile1 support,
the default flavor package is compiled against guile2, switching
the previous default.
Users who intend to stay on the guile1 version should deinstall
the default gnucash package and install the gnucash-guile1 package.
20171214:
AFFECTS: all ports users

AFFECTS: users of dns/powerdns
AUTHOR: krion@FreeBSD.org
Recursor passthrough removal: This will impact many installations.
Previously, the PowerDNS Authoritative Server contained a facility
for sending recursion desired queries to a resolving backend,
possibly after first consulting its local cache. This feature
(‘recursor=’) was frequently confusing and also delivered
inconsistent results, for example when a query ended up referring
to a CNAME that was outside of the Authoritative Server’s
knowledge.
20171203:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/dsbmd
AUTHOR: mk@freeshell.de
Due to new configuration variables and new features, users of dsbmd
version 0.4.1 and earlier should consider recreating their dsbmd.conf from
the new dsbmd.conf.sample.
20171130:
AFFECTS: all ports users
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The ports tree has gained "flavors," which are a way to produce multiple
variations of a port. Some intended examples of this are language
modules being produced for multiple language versions, and lite/nox11 packages,
without needing separate ports for each variation. Python ports have already
been flavored (see the below entry). Flavor support must be added to
individual ports.
Flavors are already supported by make, pkg, poudriere, and synth; see the
manpages for those tools for usage instructions. Portmaster and portupgrade
don't support flavors yet, but community work on those tools is in progress.
Some bumps and breakages are inevitable for a major change such as this.
Please report breakages and monitor the ports@ list for solutions as they
become available.
20171130:
AFFECTS: */py*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Ports using Python via USES=python are now flavored. All the py3-* ports
have been removed and folded into their py-* master ports.
People using Poudriere 3.2+ and binary packages do not have to do anything.
For other people, to build the Python 3.6 version of, for example,
databases/py-gdbm, you need to run:
# make FLAVOR=py36 install

Terraform has been updated to 0.11, which introduces several incompatible
changes. Please follow upgrading guide when updating the package.
https://www.terraform.io/upgrade-guides/0-11.html
20171114:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/poudriere
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
"poudriere options" now respects the -p flag while it did not before.
This means that it may create an empty directory when used now rather
than continue to use your existing options set. You may want to not
use -p or move your existing options directory, in
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/*-options, to the new format with the
ports tree name in it. Otherwise "poudriere bulk" will use the
new empty directory.
This behavior will likely change in 3.2.1 to be more backwards-compatible.
20171112:
AFFECTS: consumers of devel/oniguruma*
AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
Outdated versions of oniguruma have been removed from the ports
tree; devel/oniguruma is the only supported version, currently
replacing devel/oniguruma6.
pkg should handle this automatically while users of portmaster or
portupgrade might need to take additional manual steps:
for users of portmaster:
portmaster -o devel/oniguruma devel/oniguruma6
portmaster -r devel/oniguruma
for users of portupgrade:
portupgrade -o devel/oniguruma devel/oniguruma6
portupgrade -fr devel/oniguruma
20171107:
AFFECTS: users of www/node
AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
The www/node port has been updated to node.js v9.0.0, the latest
upstream release. A new port, www/node8, has been created for the
v8.x LTS branch. Users wanting to stay on v8.x can replace www/node
with www/node8 with one of the following commands:
# pkg install www/node8
or
# portmaster -o www/node8 www/node
or
# portupgrade -o www/node8 www/node
20171107:
AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.6 of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
list of dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r libressl
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr security/libressl
20171105:
AFFECTS: users of www/mod_auth_cas
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The configuration of mod_auth_cas has changed since the previous

AFFECTS: users of www/mod_rpaf2
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The configuration of mod_rpaf2 has been heavily modified since version
0.6. Have a look at https://github.com/gnif/mod_rpaf/tree/v0.8.4 to
determine what you need to change in your configuration.
20171031:
AFFECTS: users of editors/vim
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The default vim language bindings have changed. Python 2 and 3 bindings
may now be enabled independently (the default vim package will continue
to depend on python-2.7).
Lua and Tcl bindings have been disabled by default. If you need these
bindings, you'll need to compile vim yourself. Note that bindings are
only for plugins written in those languages, and for interactive
debugging. Editing, indenting, linting, completing, and syntax-highlighting
those languages is NOT affected.
20171026:
AFFECTS: users of devel/universal-ctags
AUTHOR: rodrigo@FreeBSD.org
Due to conflicts with emacs ctag (editors/emacs-devel, editors/emacs-nox11, editors/emacs),
the installed files will be prefixed with the 'u' character.
The new binaries will de named uctags and ureadtags.
20171015:
AFFECTS: people using WITHOUT_DEBUG
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The WITHOUT_DEBUG flag has been retired. It's only purpose was
to override a global WITH_DEBUG, if that was defined, but many
ports were ignoring such flag even if honouring WITH_DEBUG.
The same effect can be obtained using ".undef WITH_DEBUG" without
any special support in port Makefiles.
20171012:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
OpenSSH has been upgraded to 7.6p1 which has removed several deprecated
features:
- SSH version 1 support dropped.
- Dropped support for hmac-ripemd160 MAC.
- Dropped support for the ciphers arcfour, blowfish and CAST.
- RSA keys less than 1024 bits are refused.
The HPN option is currently disabled by default, and does not build,
in the package. This follows what happened in base as well.
20171004:
AFFECTS: users of security/krb5-appl
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
Configuration options to rename kerberos ftp, telnet, rlogin, rsh, and
rcp are now default to avoid conflicting with net/bsdrcmds packages
(in poudriere). Deselect the options to use the original command names
and also uninstall net/bsdrcmds to avoid the conflict.
20171002:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/cwm
AUTHOR: tobik@FreeBSD.org
Configuration options were renamed and you need to update your ~/.cwmrc
accordingly. Make sure to check cwmrc(5) for the new option names.
cwm-migrate-config.pl can help in migrating your ~/.cwmrc.
20171001:
AFFECTS: users of mail/isync using Maildir sub-folders
AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
If you have Maildir sub-folders, you need to update the configuration
to specify the naming style.
Please refer to the mbsync(1) man page section 'SubFolders
Verbatim|Maildir++|Legacy' on how to make the apropriate changes.
20170930:
AFFECTS: users of PHP and its modules
AUTHOR: eugen@FreeBSD.org
All lang/php* ports switched to depend on devel/oniguruma6
instead of previous oniguruma version some time ago.
If you have not moved from devel/oniguruma5 before and
have troubles updating PHP,
for users of portmaster:
portmaster -o devel/oniguruma6 devel/oniguruma5
portmaster -r devel/oniguruma6
for users of portupgrade:
portupgrade -o devel/oniguruma6 devel/oniguruma5
portupgrade -fr devel/oniguruma6
pkg should handle this automatically.
20170928:
AFFECTS: users of security/courier-authlib and its modules
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The affected ports have been modified to follow the upstream
suggested best practice to use the sysconftool on installation.
Please make sure your configuration files include all the comments
that tool uses to correctly update the configuration on update.
You can use the ".sample" or ".dist" files as templates for missing
comments if needed.
20170915:
AFFECTS: users of devel/cargo
AUTHOR: rust@FreeBSD.org
Starting with version 1.19.0, Cargo is provided with Rust. Therefore,
devel/cargo was merged into lang/rust.
20170914:
AFFECTS: users of CMake & CMake Modules
AUTHOR: adridg@FreeBSD.org
The devel/cmake-modules port has been merged into devel/cmake.
The benefit of being able to update the modules without the binary
is outweighed by the issues caused by having the binary out-of-sync
with the modules.
Users should delete the devel/cmake-modules package and then
upgrade or reinstall devel/cmake.
All ports have been updated to depend only on CMake.

AFFECTS: users of security/gnupg
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
security/gnupg has become the new stable version of GnuPG. This is
an LTS branch. gnupg20 will reach EOL at the end of the year, and all

20170808:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
8.0.2. Hence it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the
dependent ports and the lang/ghc port itself in one of the following
ways:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
In case of pkg(8), it is probably safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch. For
example:
# pkg query "%ro" ghc > ghc-pkgs.txt
# pkg delete -y lang/ghc
In ghc-pkgs.txt, check and remove all the packages that have been moved
on the update, then use this command:
# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt`
20170807:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot2 and mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
Now that dovecot1 has been removed from the ports tree, dovecot2
and dovecot2-pigeonhole have been renamed to simply dovecot and
dovecot-pigeonhole.
pkg should handle the rename automatically, but if you run into
trouble, you can point pkg at the new origin via:
# pkg set -o mail/dovecot2:mail/dovecot
# pkg set -o mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole:mail/dovecot-pigeonhole
Similarly, you can point portmaster at the new location via:
# portmaster -o mail/dovecot mail/dovecot2
If all else fails, just remove and reinstall the package:
# pkg delete dovecot2
# pkg install dovecot
20170806:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot2-antispam-plugin
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
Development of the antispam plugin ceased years ago, and upstream

AFFECTS: users of devel/apr1
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
APR was updated to 1.6.0 and APR-util was updated to 1.6.2
The Apache Portable Runtime project removed support for FreeTDS from the
APR Utilities in version 1.6. Users of FreeTDS will have to migrate
configurations to use the newly added ODBC support in conjunction with
FreeTDS using FreeTDS' ODBC capabilities.
Please rebuild all ports which are using functions from APR/APR-util
such as Apache, Subversion, etc. Normally, you can obtain the list of
dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r apr
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on APR(-util) to avoid
dangling shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this
correctly, portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to
rebuild all dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r apr

Upgrades to the previous rabbitmq-3.6.10 must be avoided as
they can lead to data corruption due to changes in Erlang 20.
20170622:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 9.3 to 9.5.
The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
speedup of the upgrade.
The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
complex scenarios like replication, sharding, or similar.
Upgrade instructions:
First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 9.3.12, your
files are named according to this.
# service postgresql stop
# pkg create postgresql93-server postgresql93-contrib
# mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql93-server-9.3.17.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# tar xf postgresql93-contrib-9.3.17.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
# mv /usr/local/pgsql/data /usr/local/pgsql/data93
# pkg delete -f databases/postgresql93-server databases/postgresql93-contrib databases/postgresql93-client
Now update PostgreSQL:
pkg user:
# pkg install databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
# pkg upgrade
Portmaster users:
# portmaster databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
# portmaster -a
Portupgrade users:
# portinstall databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
# portupgrade -a
After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
all your databases to new version:
# service postgresql initdb
# su -l pgsql -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /usr/local/pgsql/data93/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/"
Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
# service postgresql start

AFFECTS: users of editors/calligra
AUTHOR: groot@kde.org
Calligra has been updated to 3.0.1, which is a KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5)

been merged (upstream) into the application, so separate language /
translation ports are no longer provided. Krita has been split out
(upstream) into a separate application, which is packaged as
graphics/krita. Kexi, the visual database applications creator,
is packaged separately as databases/kexi.

AFFECTS: users of Qt 5 in presence of binutils
AUTHOR: amdmi3@FreeBSD.org
gold linker from binutils 2.28 may produce duplicate library
symbols, which makes shared libraries created with it not usable
with conventional ld linker.
This affects Qt, as qt5-qmake will detect gold and use it to build
Qt libraries. Broken libQt5Core will be produced and ports which
depend on it will then fail to link with the following errors:
...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): multiple definition of `__bss_start at Qt_5'
...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): first defined here
...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): multiple definition of `_edata at Qt_5'
...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): first defined here
...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x2b2d0): multiple definition of `_end at Qt_5'
Qt5 was fixed to ignore gold. If you see these errors, you
need to rebuild qt5-qmake, then all qt5-* ports.

AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
New version of Samba port from 4.6 branch is added. Before upgrading please read upgrade notes:
https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.6.0.html
For the vfs_fruit users:
Users on *BSD must rename the metadata xattr used by vfs_fruit when
using the default setting "fruit:metadata = netatalk".
Due to a glitch in the Samba xattr API compatibility layer for FreeBSD and a
mistake in vfs_fruit, vfs_fruit ended up using the wrong xattr name when
configured with "fruit:metadata = netatalk" (default). Instead of the correct
org.netatalk.Metadata
it used
netatalk.Metadata
Starting with Samba 4.6 vfs_fruit will use the correct "org.netatalk.Metadata"
which means existing installations must rename this xattrs. For this purpose
Samba now includes a new tool `mvxattr`.

AFFECTS: users of Qt 4 and Qt 5
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
Following what is already done in Qt 5, the Qt 4 ports no longer install
their binaries into ${LOCALBASE}/bin (which is "/usr/local/bin" in most
cases). Additionally, the "-qt4" suffix has been dropped from the file names
of the binaries that had it, such as "qmake-qt4".
The new misc/qtchooser port is now used to choose whether a Qt 4 or Qt 5
version of a binary such as "moc", "qmake" or "designer" will be used. By
default, the Qt 5 versions are preferred, but that can be changed by setting
the QT_SELECT environment variable to "qt4".
qtchooser also allows one to seamlessly use other Qt installations for those
binaries, which is particularly beneficial to people working on Qt itself or
who need their own checkouts.
See qtchooser(1) for more information on how to configure qtchooser.

AFFECTS: users of x11-server/xorg-server
AUTHOR: rezny@FreeBSD.org
Xorg server has been updated to 1.18.4 and autodetection has changed.
The order in which drivers are now attempted is:
1) vendor/model specific driver according to PCI IDs
2) generic modesetting driver which requires a drm driver with KMS
3) scfb, the generic framebuffer driver
4) vesa (only if arch is x86)
This should minimize the need for xorg.conf files. It is recommended to
load the correct KMS driver (i915kms.ko or radeonkms.ko) via rc.conf,
i.e. kld_list="i915kms.ko", to ensure correct functionality. Although
the vendor drivers may attempt to load the correct drm driver, which
does not always work, the modesetting driver assumes the required KMS
driver is already loaded and will fail if there is none. The modesetting
driver is now recommended as an alternative to the Intel driver; the
performance is comparable and stability is better with modesetting. The
ATI driver continues to offer better performance than modesetting.

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/motion
AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
Version 3.x expected the configuration files to reside in:
${LOCALBASE}/etc
Version 4.x expects the configuration files to reside in:
${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion
This was unfortunately overlooked when the port was updated to 4.x, but it
has now been fixed to install the default configuration file in the new
location. The rc script now checks for motion.conf in the new location.
While you may be able to simply copy your old motion.conf to the new location,
it is recommended to review ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion/motion.conf and make
changes to it based on your old ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion.conf as some options
have been added and removed.
Further, if you use motion with multiple cameras and have
${LOCALBASE}/etc/thread[0-9].conf files, they should be moved to
${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion as well. These files are deprecated and should be
renamed to camera[0-9].conf and in motion.conf, lines like:
thread /usr/local/etc/thread1.conf
Should be converted to:
camera /usr/local/etc/motion/camera1.conf

AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
databases/mysql56-server was updated to 5.6.35 which included backported
rc script changes from the mysql57-server port. This broke mysql_optfile in
rc.conf and also forced a sample my.cnf if none existed. MySQL has
some parameters which cannot be changed after a database has been
created, so this caused MySQL to fail to start.
This change was reverted in mysql56-server-5.6.35_1
An additional change was made in mysql56-server-5.6.35_2 to prevent
automatic loading of a sample my.cnf which was causing issues for
users who were running without a my.cnf.

AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 2.2 to 2.3.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.2 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 2.2 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.2
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkgng, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# portmaster -o lang/ruby23 lang/ruby22
# portmaster -R -r ruby-2.3
If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# pkg delete -f ruby portupgrade
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade install clean
# pkg set -o lang/ruby22:lang/ruby23
# portupgrade -x ruby-2.3.\* -fr lang/ruby23

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bareos-*
AUTHOR: rand@iteris.com
Bareos v1.6.x changed the configuration scheme, from one configuration
file per Bareos component (file daemon, storage daemon, and director)
to several configuration files, in several directories, for each
component. See http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html
The new scheme will use all files named *.conf in the directory
hierarchies for each component:
/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/
/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-fd.d/
/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/
To retain the old configuration scheme of one file per component add
appropriate lines such as these to your /etc/rc.conf:
bareos_dir_config="/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf"
bareos_fd_config="/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-fd.conf"
bareos_sd_config="/usr/local/etc/bareos/bareos-sd.conf"

AFFECTS: users of devel/libosinfo
AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org
The libosinfo port was separated into three different ports
to follow the upstream split:
- sysutils/osinfo-db-tools: contains the CLI tools
- misc/osinfo-db: contains database with OS data
- devel/libosinfo: the library
As osinfo-db-tools now ships binaries that previously were
part of libosinfo, it's required to delete the old libosinfo
package to prevent conflict because of same files installation:
# pkg delete libosinfo
And then install the new version.
20161112:
AFFECTS: users of security/heimdal
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
Heimdal in the base system and security/heimdal <= 1.5.3_6 use
Berkeley DB to store principals into /var/heimdal/heimdal.db and
the database format is version 3 by default. On the other hand,
security/heimdal 1.5.3_7 or newer use the newer version of
Berkeley DB and the database format is version 9.
These two versions are not compatible with each other. If there is
a mismatch between Heimdal utilities and its database format,
you will get an error like the following:
# /usr/local/sbin/kadmin -l dump
BDB0641 __db_meta_setup: /var/heimdal/heimdal.db: unexpected file type or format
kadmin: hdb_open: opening /var/heimdal/heimdal: Invalid argument
This mismatch can occur in the following three cases:
1. You used Heimdal in the base system and switch to use security/heimdal
after creating /var/db/heimdal.db.
2. You used security/heimdal >= 1.5.3_7 and switch to use one in the
base system.
3. You used security/heimdal < 1.5.3_7 and upgrade it to 1.5.3_7 or later.
To fix this mismatch, you need to dump contents of heimdal.db and
rebuild the database by using kadmin(8) utility.
If you use Heimdal in the base system or older versions of
security/heimdal, and plan to switch to use
security/heimdal >= 1.5.3_7, execute the following command
*after* creating a backup copy of /var/heimdal and installing
security/heimdal:
# /usr/bin/kadmin -l dump /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
# rm /var/heimdal/heimdal.db
# /usr/local/sbin/kadmin -l load /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
# rm /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
The above example assumes security/heimdal is installed into
/usr/local. If your base system is compiled with WITHOUT_KERBEROS
use the following instead:
# db_dump185-5 /var/heimdal/heimdal.db | db_load-5 /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.new
# chown 0600 /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.new
# mv /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.new /var/heimdal/heimdal.db
db_dump and db_load utilitites are installed by databases/db5 as
dependency of security/heimdal.
If you want to switch from security/heimdal to Heimdal in the base
system, use the following:
# /usr/local/sbin/kadmin -l dump /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
# rm /var/heimdal/heimdal.db
# /usr/bin/kadmin -l load /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump
# rm /var/heimdal/heimdal.db.dump

The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.24. If you are using
binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg
upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, assuming you are
migrating from 5.20 to 5.24, do:
First, add to /etc/make.conf:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= perl5=5.24
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.24 -f lang/perl5.20
You can now remove the DEFAULT_VERSIONS line added earlier
from /etc/make.conf
Then you will need to rebuild everything that uses libperl.so, you
can do so with:
portupgrade -f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.20`
If, for some reason, this command fails at one point, it is safe to
run it again, it will not rebuild what it already rebuilt, as the
ports that have been rebuilt no longer depend on libperl.so.5.20 but
on libperl.so.5.24.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.24 lang/perl5.20
You can now remove the DEFAULT_VERSIONS line added earlier
from /etc/make.conf
Then you will need to rebuild everything that uses libperl.so, you
can do so with:
portmaster -f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.20`
If, for some reason, this command fails at one point, it is safe to

AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The default unix user used by the PostgreSQL daemon has changed to
`postgres' to reflect the long time upstream's convention. Any scripts
you have using the old `pgsql' unix user should be modified when upgrading to
PostgreSQL version 9.6. Older versions of PostgreSQL will continue using
`pgsql' until their end-of-life.
For users with UTF-8 locales in the database: The ICU patch is *activated by
default* for the PostgreSQL-9.6 server. For previous versions it was optional
and default off, but this has changed. Please read the entry here below from
20160811 and understand the consequences of changing between ICU and system
locale for database collation (short version: don't). pg_upgrade requires the
collation method to be the same (or a reindex), while pg_dump/restore does not.
Also, the default home directory for the postgres user is now
/var/db/postgres, and the default data directory for PostgreSQL 9.6 is
/var/db/postgres/data96.

20160829:
AFFECTS: users of security/sshguard
AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
Sshguard has been updated to 1.7.0. There have been several changes to
this release. Notably the hosts and ipfilter backends are no longer
supported. If you need these backends to be supported and you missed
the survey sent out by upstream I urge you to contact upstream.
The hosts backend was previously served by security/sshguard directly.
The additional backends were slave ports with package name suffixes. I
have opted to keep the master/slave port relationship but not choose a
specific backend for security/sshguard. Instead it is now a metaport
which will prompt you for which backend you prefer. If no backend is
configured it will depend on security/sshguard-ipfw, which is the
native FreeBSD firewall. This my be surprising to users who depended
on security/sshguard which only provided hosts/TCP Wrappers blocking,
but there is no replacement at this time.
I would also like to document that sshguard no longer accepts the -e
argument which allowed external scripts to run when sshguard finds a
match. As a result the null backend can no longer be used to create
custom blocking functionality; it only serves as a detection backend.
If the removed backends return due to user demand they will be added
as slave ports for consistency. I apologize for any inconvenience and
lack of notice on the deprecation of these features.

AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.4 of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
With this update, the patch for the OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has been
removed. This causes issues with a number of ports. Patches for all
ports for which this issues is known can be found on
https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL/Ports#OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
list of dependent software by running the following command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r libressl
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr security/libressl
20160811:
AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresqlNN-server with ICU patch
AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
The ICU patch is added to the PostgreSQL-9.5 server. Please note that you
must never change between using the ICU patch and using system locale for
the same database cluster without REINDEXing all TEXT/VARCHAR columns, or
dump and restore your database. Failing to do so will result in corrupted
indexes due to the differences between the locale definitions. ICU will
always be the better choice for speed and correctness.
Also, the ICU patch used to support other Unicode encodings than UTF-8,
but that has been removed due to lack of demand and the complicated testing
required. If you use another Unicode encoding and rely on ICU for collation,
please refrain from upgrading the postgresql server and instead contact the
author named above.

AFFECTS: users of www/awstats
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The directory containing icons has changed from ".../icons" to ".../icon".
awstats has, in its suggested configuration file, contained an alias
from /awstatsicons. After applying the awstats-7.5 update, you must
update that alias to point to /usr/local/www/awstats/icon (just remove
the "s" at the end).

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/screen
AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
GNU Screen was updated to version 4.4.0 (r417201). Note that there was
fix to screen message structure field responsible for $TERM handling,
making it impossible to attach to older versions.

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql57-*
AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
The default location for my.cnf has changed from "/var/db/mysql/my.cnf"
to "/usr/local/etc/mysql/my.cnf". Existing my.cnf files must be merged
manually with the new default and moved to the new location. To
continue using the my.cnf file at the old location, set "mysql_optfile"
in /etc/rc.conf to point to the location of the existing my.cnf file.

AFFECTS: users of shells/zsh
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
zsh now looks for system-wide conf files in ${PREFIX}/etc, instead of
/etc. If you have files like zshrc, zshenv, zprofile, zlogin, or zlogout
in /etc, either move them to /usr/local/etc or rebuild zsh with the
ETCDIR option on.
Note that this change only affects system-wide conf files, which are not
installed or created by a default installation.

AFFECTS: users of ftp/wget
AUTHOR: vd@FreeBSD.org
Wget 1.18 fixes a security vulnerability (CVE-2016-4971) and the fix
introduces a backward-incompatibility for HTTP->FTP redirects. Any script that
relies on the old behaviour must use --trust-server-names in order to trust
the HTTP response and redirect to the new filename.
20160619:
AFFECTS: users of databases/py-apsw
AUTHOR: rm@FreeBSD.org
SQLite 3.12 completely changed the semantics of VFS.xGetLastError() in an
incompatible way. This required a rewrite of the relevant C, Python and test
code. If you implement or use this method then you have to rewrite your code
too. Also note that running the test suite from an earlier version of APSW
against this or future SQLite versions will result in consuming all memory,
swap or address space (an underlying integer changed meaning).
20160616:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssl*, security/libressl*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Previously, to tell the ports tree, you needed to set:
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes
And if you wanted a port that was not security/openssl, you needed to add,
for example:
OPENSSL_PORT= security/libressl
Now, all you need to do is:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=libressl
Valid values are base, openssl, openssl-devel, libressl, and libressl-devel.
20160614:
AFFECTS: users of www/node, www/node5, and www/node4
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
node now prefers a few libraries from ports to the versions bundled
with node. However, node cannot use the libssl from LibreSSL. If you
are using LibreSSL as your SSL provider, you must enable the
"BUNDLED_SSL" option when building node.
20160611:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/xmlroff
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The library part of xmlroff has been separated into textproc/libfo.
Remove the installed xmlroff first when upgrading it because older
xmlroff than 0.6.2_6 have files which libfo installs. A typical
error message is the following:
pkg-static: libfo-0.6.2 conflicts with xmlroff-0.6.2_5 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/include/libfo-0.6/libfo/area/fo-area.h

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-repmgr
AUTHOR: bofh@FreeBSD.org
The port has been repocopied to databases/postgresql-repmgr2 and current
post has been updated to 3.x series. If anyone is still looking forward
to use the 2.x please upgrade as following.
# portmaster -o databases/postgresql-repmgr2 databases/postgresql-repmgr
or
# portupgrade -o databases/postgresql-repmgr2 databases/postgresql-repmgr
Otherwise if you want to move on with 3.x series just use
# portmaster -r databases/postgresql-repmgr

AFFECTS: users of www/h2o
AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org
File paths no longer have a trailing / appended to them. This enables
directing specific paths to a file but may break existing configurations.
Refer to https://h2o.examp1e.net/configure/file_directives.html and
revise your yaml config appropriately.
20160601:
AFFECTS: users of security/libressl-devel
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to the latest "unstable" version of LibreSSL.
The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
With this update, the patch for the OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has been
removed. This causes issues with a number of ports. Patches for many of
these issues can be found on
https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL/Ports#OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
After upgrading to 2.4.0, manually update all packages that depend on
any of the libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and
libtls) since the versions of these libraries have changed. Normally,
you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following
command:
# pkg info -r libressl-devel
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl-devel to avoid
dangling shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this
correctly, portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to
rebuild all dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r libressl-devel
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr security/libressl-devel
20160527:
AFFECTS: users of mail/opensmtpd-extras (any of them)
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
The invocation for extras has changed. Some extras might fail unless
you pass all options/arguments separated by quotes:
filter myfilter dnsbl "-c /var/chroot/dnsbl" "-h my.dnsbl.com"
Additionally, extras now run in a chroot. Either pass "-C" to skip the
chroot entirely (not recommended), or put all required config files,
resolv.conf, and external binaries into the chroot. For example:
# mkdir -p /var/chroot/dnsbl/etc
# cp /etc/resolv.conf /var/chroot/dnsbl/etc
And pass "-c /var/chroot/dnsbl" to the filter.
20160526:
AFFECTS: users of mail/opensmtpd
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
Due to changes to the rc-script you must stop smtpd prior to upgrading
mail/opensmtpd to version 5.9.2
# service smtpd stop
Then upgrade OpenSMTPD to version 5.9.2.
Additionally version 5.9.2 changes the file mode bits for two directories.
To allow existing installations to start successfully you must apply the
following changes
# chown -R root:_smtpq /var/spool/smtpd/offline
# chmod -R 770 /var/spool/smtpd/offline
# chmod -R 700 /var/spool/smtpd/purge
After applying the changes, the smtpd daemon can successfully be started.
20160525:
AFFECTS: users of devel/qtcreator
AUTHOR: loise@kde.org
QBS (Qt Build System) was previously shipped as part of qtcreator, now
it is independently available as devel/qbs. However, on upgrading
qtcreator to 3.6.1, the depends will detect qbs through a previously
installed qtcreator port and will not build/install correctly
(devel/qbs won't be installed automatically as depends)
The solution is to pkg remove qtcreator, then building works correctly.
20160523:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db6
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The databases/db6 port has been updated to release 6.2.23.
This requires manual action in two places:
1. dependent applications need to be recompiled,
2. SQL databases, if any, need to be reindexed.
To obtain a list of ports needing a recompilation,
the following command should provide it:
# pkg info -r db6
Then rebuild db6 and the dependent ports. For pkg users, this should
be transparent.
Portmaster users:
# portmaster -r databases/db6
Portupgrade users:
# portupgrade -fr databases/db6
In order to reindex SQL databases, a db6-upgrade61.sh script is
provided in ${PREFIX}/bin, if and only if the port's SQL option is
enabled. For detailed reindexing instructions, see
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_05/html/installation/sqlite_ver61.html
and note that the FreeBSD port installs the upgrade61.sh script with a
db6- prefix that you need to add.
20160511:
AFFECTS: users of audio/clementine-player
AUTHOR: sbruno@FreeBSD.org
The audio/clementine-player port has been updated to v1.3.1, the latest
upstream release. The music database code now has a hard dependency on
databases/sqlite having the FTS3_TOKENIZER option enabled. This has
been made the default option in databases/sqlite.
Without this option, clementine-player will crash on startup.
20160510:
AFFECTS: users of biology/seqan
AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org
The biology/seqan port has been split into biology/seqan (only the
library) and biology/seqan-apps for the programs based on SeqAn. Both
ports are based on version 2.1.1 of the SeqAn repository. There is a new
biology/seqan1 port with version 1.3 of SeqAn for backwards compatibility,
but this port will likely be deprecated in the next year so please update
your software to SeqAn2.
20160505:
AFFECTS: users of www/node
AUTHOR: bradleythughes@fastmail.fm
The www/node port has been updated to node.js v6.0.0, the latest
upstream release. Users of node.js v5.x are encouraged to upgrade as
soon as possible, as upstream support will end two months from now.
The www/node5 port has been created to aid users transition. Use one of
the following commands to continue using node.js v5.x:
# pkg install node5
or
# portmaster -o www/node5 www/node
or
# portupgrade -o www/node5 www/node
20160503:
AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
LibreSSL 2.3 has removed SSLv3 support completely which leads to issues
with a number of ports. Patches for many of these issues can be found
on https://wiki.freebsd.org/OpenSSL/No-SSLv3
After upgrading to 2.3.4, manually update all packages that depend on
any of the libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and
libtls) since the versions of these libraries have changed. Normally,
you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following
command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r libressl

portupgrade -fr security/libressl
20160501:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dspam
AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org
dspam has been modified to no longer run as root:mail by default.
Existing configuration must be adjusted to reflect using a non-privileged
port and the /var/run/dspam directory for PID and socket files. If you
need dspam to run as root for your mail setup, you can use the SETUID
config option to enable the old insecure behavior.
20160229:
AFFECTS: users of www/nginx and www/nginx-devel
AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org
The ${MODULESDIR}, default directory for dynamic modules, has been
changed from ${ETCDIR}/modules to ${PREFIX}/libexec/${PORTNAME}.
It's highly recommended to review existing configuration files of
nginx, i.e. ${PREFIX}/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
20160424:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/icinga2
AUTHOR: lme@FreeBSD.org
The creation of Icinga2 directories and files in /var is now controlled
by the /etc/rc.conf variable icinga2_mkvar. Earlier ports always
created the /var entries, but could slow startup significantly when /var
was a normal disk rather than a RAM disk. icinga2_mkvar defaults to
"NO".
20160415:
AFFECTS: users of audio/chromaprint
AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
chromaprint has been updated to version 1.3.1 and includes a shared
library bump. PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on affected ports.
If you are using binary pkg, 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing.
Users of portmaster/portupgrade must rebuild all ports which depend
on chromaprint.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -w -r chromaprint
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr audio/chromaprint
20160414:
AFFECTS: users of www/tt-rss
AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org
Tiny Tiny RSS can use a database running on a separate server.

AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Samba 4.2.x and 4.3.x ports have been updated to address
BadLock(http://badlock.org) vulnerability, as well as few other
discovered.
Please note that Samba 4.1.x and older versions are also affected by
the issues fixed with this release but are not supported anymore. It is
strongly recommend to upgrade to a recent version at your earliest

adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 2.1 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.1
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkgng, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# portmaster -o lang/ruby22 lang/ruby21
# portmaster -R -r ruby-2.2
If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend

AFFECTS: print/cups-base, print/cups-client, print/cups-image
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
The cups-base, cups-client and cups-image packages have been combined
into one cups package.
If you build your own ports the easiest way to update is to delete these
packages first and then build and install print/cups.
If you are using binary packages, depending on the packages installed on
your system, pkg(8)'s solver might get confused. In this case do not proceed
with the upgrade but delete first the packages:
pkg delete -fg "cups*"
Then usual upgrade process: pkg upgrade
The device URI of USB printers has changed so you have to adjust the
printer configuration. Go to http://localhost:631/printers/. Click on
your printer and select "Modify Printer" in the Administration drop-down.
You should then be able to select the new URI of the printer. The web
interface requires cookies and JavaScript to function properly so make
sure your browser does not block them.
The package also installs a devd(8) configuration file now that gives
cups access to USB printers. Unless you have any special needs you can
remove any devd(8), devfs.conf(5) or devfs.rules(5) configuration related
to cups that you may have added in the past.

AFFECTS: users of games/nethack34
AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org
The port name and installation location of games/nethack34 have changed
to allow for a port of NetHack 3.6.0. To preserve your save and bones
files do the following after updating:
# sudo cp -p ${LOCALBASE}/share/nethack/save/* ${LOCALBASE}/share/nethack34/save/
# sudo cp -p ${LOCALBASE}/share/nethack/bon* ${LOCALBASE}/share/nethack34/
After verifying the files were copied correctly, remove the playground
directory (as these files are incompatible with NetHack 3.6.0).
# sudo rm -r ${LOCALBASE}/share/nethack

AFFECTS: users of net/samba4, net/samba41
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Given version of Samba were marked as deprecated. Please, consider to upgrade.
Samba4 was giving wrong builds with recent version of p5-Parse-Pidl. It was
converted to use bundled version instead and to conflict with the given package.
If you still intend to build net/samba4 - remove p5-Parse-Pidle first.
20151217:
AFFECTS: users of security/tor, security/tor-devel
AUTHOR: amdmi3@FreeBSD.org
Tor rc.d script no longer overrides or forces logfile configuration,
you now need to setup logging by hand. To preserve old behavior, add
the following line to /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc:
Log notice file /var/log/tor
20151215:
AFFECTS: all users of www/node
AUTHOR: koobs@FreeBSD.org

AFFECTS: users of comms/gammu
AUTHOR: vanilla@FreeBSD.org
The python binding of comms/gammu were split from the main port. To get them you
need to install comms/py-gammu.
20151206:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfixadmin
AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
Caveat when updating to version 2.93: If you have an existing
configuration and are NOT using the recommended practice of putting your
settings changes in config.local.php:
Copy config.inc.php to config.local.php prior to upgrading, then revise
config.local.php for the current version afterward.
Postfixadmin will not function correctly unless correct and complete
data structures are placed in config.inc.php. Therefore the file must be
upgraded as part of the package and any changes to config.inc.php will
be overwritten.
Detailed information regarding this procedure is provided in step 3 of
the installation instructions in ${DATADIR}/INSTALL.TXT (by default
/usr/local/share/postfixadmin/INSTALL.TXT).
20151205:
AFFECTS: users of devel/ncurses
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
ncurses has been updated to 6.0.
If you are using binary pkg, 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing.
Users of portmaster/portupgrade must rebuild all ports which depend
on ncurses.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -w -r ncurses
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr devel/ncurses
20151203:
AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt4-gui or x11-toolkits/qt5-gui
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
Back in mid-2012, pkg-message was added to the port suggesting changes to the
default shared memory limits in loader.conf(5). Since then, the default
limits have been changed and the values suggested by the port are no longer
sensible. If you have changed the following values in loader.conf(5) due to
qt4-gui's or qt5-gui's pkg-message, please considering removing them and
using the default settings:
* kern.ipc.shmall
* kern.ipc.shmmni
* kern.ipc.shmseg
See base r209037 and ports PR 202927 for more context.
20151203:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/logstash
AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org
Logstash has been updated to the 2.1.0 release. The embedded ElasticSearch

logstash.conf to point to the URL of an ElasticSearch instance.
20151130:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba43
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
A new version of Samba server that has better integration with Windows 10.
This is still experimental and there were reports that rolling upgrade from
previous version of Samba fails to work.
Please, backup all relevant files from /var/db/samba4/ directory, as well
as configuration files.
Follow https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Updating_Samba for the upgrade path.
20151130:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba4, net/samba41, net/samba42
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Recent versions of devel/talloc, devel/tevent, databases/tdb, databases/ldb
contained infinit recursive call to the strtol* set of replacement functions,
which lead to coredumps. Unofficial patch was added meanwhile, but now
official version of the fixed libs were released. If your version of
net/samba4 works fine you don't need to recompile it. Other ports were also
upgraded and some bugs were fixed in upstream.
20151122:
AFFECTS: users of audio/audacity
AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
Audacity has been upgraded to version 2.1.1. Changes in its settings
processing may prevent it from starting. If this happens, removing its
user-specific configuration directory ~/.audacity-data resolves this.
20151118:
AFFECTS: users of mail/rmilter
AUTHOR: vsevolod@FreeBSD.org
Rmilter now has switched from user postfix to user _rmilter for security
and sanity purposes. You might want to fix the ownership of
/var/run/rmilter to user _rmilter and group mail.
20151105:
AFFECTS: users of deskutils/egroupware
AUTHOR: danilo@FreeBSD.org
EGroupware 1.8 was deprecated and removed from sourceforge.net.
To upgrade to the new version (14.3), make a backup of all files and
database, remove all files from ${PREFIX}/www/eg:
# pkg remove egroupware
# rm -rf ${PREFIX}/www/eg

20151101:
AFFECTS: users of www/codeigniter
AUTHOR: junovitch@FreeBSD.org
CodeIgniter has been updated to the 3.0.x release branch. End users
must ensure their web applications are compliant with the guidance
in the "Upgrading From a Previous Version" document.
http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_300.html
CodeIgniter 2.2.x has reached EOL as of 31 October 2015 but may be
installed in the interim from the www/codeigniter22 port.
20151020:
AFFECTS: users of security/keepassx2
Due to a package name change, first remove the existing package
and then reinstall it:
# pkg delete security/keepassx2
# portmaster security/keepassx2
20151019:
AFFECTS: users of www/varnish4
AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
Varnish has been updated to 4.1.0. As part of the update an effort has
been made to increase the security of the varnish daemons by utilizing
separate UIDs. Users who upgrade will likely run into a permissions
issue as a result. The simplest solution is to delete files varnish
will recreate with the correct permissions and to adjust permissions
of existing log files.
The following changes will allow you to start varnishd, varnishlog,
and varnishncsa successfully:
# rm -r /usr/local/varnish/$(hostname)
# rm /var/run/varnishlog.pid
# rm /var/run/varnishncsa.pid
# chown varnishlog /var/log/varnish.log
# chown varnishlog /var/log/varnishncsa.log
Please also note that the syntax for binding to additional IPs has
changed in 4.1.0. Multiple listening addresses are now specified by
using multiple -a arguments. In rc.conf it would look like this:
varnishd_listen="x.x.x.x:80 -a y.y.y.y:80"
20151015:
AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion, its bindings and www/mod_dav_svn
AUTHOR: lev@FreeBSD.org
The subversion upgdate to 1.9 branch introduces new "old" subversion
port devel/subversion18.
If you don't want to update your subversion installation, run
pkg set -n subversion:subversion18
and add
WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=18
to your /etc/make.conf
20151013:
AFFECTS: users of security/sshguard-ipfw
AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
The sshguard update to 1.6.2 introduces a rewritten IPFW backend. The
previous approach was to insert individual block rules with a
predefined numbered range. This does not scale well and is not
flexible so the design was scrapped. The new approach utilizes IPFW
tables. The sshguard IPFW backend now inserts offenders into hardcoded
table 22.
To continue blocking the attackers effectively you will need to add a
block rule like the following:
ipfw add deny all from 'table(22)' to any

20151011:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/qemu-sbruno, emulators/qemu-user-static
AUTHOR: sbruno@FreeBSD.org
The Jemalloc update at svn r286871 introduced some TLS enhancements
for MIPS targets that require a bit of workaround. Users who want
to build MIPS packages should update their host systems past r286871
prior to upgrading their qemu-user-static/qemu-sbruno ports.
Discussion about this can be found here:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mips/2015-October/004018.html
20151006:
AFFECTS: users of www/firefox, www/seamonkey
AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
Firefox since 41.0 and SeaMonkey since 2.38 require databases/sqlite3
port built with DBSTAT option enabled (default). Re-run "make config"
if the port(s) fail to build as described in ports/200853.
20150921:
AFFECTS: users of mail/rspamd
AUTHOR: vsevolod@FreeBSD.org
rspamd has been updated to the version 1.0.
For migration from the previous releases, please read the following document:
https://rspamd.com/doc/migration.html
20150919:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg
AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
ffmpeg has been updated to the version 2.8.
If you are using binary pkg, 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing.
Users of portmaster/portupgrade must rebuild all ports which depend
on ffmpeg.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -w -r ffmpeg
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr multimedia/ffmpeg
20150916:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/jpeg
AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
Default implementation of jpeg has been switched from graphics/jpeg to
graphics/jpeg-turbo. To perform the upgrade, use instructions below.
If using binary packages: 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing. If it
doesn't and complains about 'Cannot solve problem using SAT solver', run
'pkg delete -f jpeg' before 'pkg upgrade'.
If using portmaster:
# portmaster -o graphics/jpeg-turbo jpeg
If using portupgrade:
# portupgrade -f -o graphics/jpeg-turbo graphics/jpeg
If you compile your ports and want to keep using IJG's jpeg implementation,
add this line to your /etc/make.conf file:
JPEG_PORT=graphics/jpeg
20150914:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Binary package users can ignore this.
The way lang/perl5* ports install themselves has changed. From now on, only
the default Perl port (currently 5.20), or the version listed in
DEFAULT_VERSIONS, will install /usr/local/bin/perl.
If you are NOT using the default version of Perl (as of right now, it is
5.20) you MUST add a line setting the version you are using to your
/etc/make.conf, to preserve /usr/local/bin/perl:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= perl5=5.xx
If your Perl package name is not called perl5-5.xx.y but perl5.xx-5.xx.y,
you will need to rename it so that portupgrade and portmaster do not get
confused:
pkg set -n perl5.xx:perl5
After this date, to migrate from one Perl version to the other, you must
first put the DEFAULT_VERSIONS line in your make.conf, and then, for example,
if you want to move from 5.20 to 5.22, do:
pkg set -o lang/perl5.20:lang/perl5.22
portmaster `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.20`
If you do not do that, you will replace your default Perl 5.20 installation
(one that has /usr/local/bin/perl) with an installation that does not have
/usr/local/bin/perl, and it will break everything.
20150908:
AFFECTS: users of print/texlive-base
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
pdfclose and pdfopen utilities in print/texlive-base are now in a separate
port print/xpdfopen. While upgrading print/texlive-base, a conflict may
occur between pdfclose utility installed by an old print/texlive-base and
one being installed by print/xpdfopen. If it occurred on your system,
remove the installed print/texlive-base first by using the following
command:
# pkg delete -f texlive-base
20150901:
AFFECTS: users of editors/libreoffice
AUTHOR: jkim@FreeBSD.org
editors/libreoffice has been updated to 5.0.1. However, FreeBSD 9.x is
no longer supported because it requires C++11-capable library installed
in the base. If you cannot upgrade your system or still want 4.3.x for
some reason, use editors/libreoffice4.
20150822:
AFFECTS: users of print/ghostscript*
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl} have been split into
print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl}-{base,x11}.
print/ghostscript*-nox11 ports have been removed.
The -base installs Ghostscript binaries, libgs, and other data files
and it depends on no X11 library. The -x11 installs a small shared
library to enable x11* devices in the installed -base package.
In most cases, Ghostscript is installed as a dependency. A port/package
which requires Ghostscript will automatically pick up -base, and
when x11* devices required it will pick up -x11 in addition.
If one wants to install Ghostscript manually and full compatibility
with the previous versions, just install -x11 because it installs
-base as a dependency. Combination of the two provides the same
functionality as before.
20150821:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
OpenSSH 7.0 disables support for:
* SSH protocol 1
* 1024-bit diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange
* ssh-dss, ssh-dss-cert-* host and user keys
* legacy v00 cert format
See http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.0 for more information and
http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html for how to re-enable some of these
algorithms.
20150820:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
7.10.2 and Haskell Platform has been removed. As a result, it is
recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports and the
lang/ghc port itself in one of the following ways:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
In case of pkg(8), it is probably safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch. For
example:
# pkg query "%ro" ghc > ghc-pkgs.txt
# pkg delete -y lang/ghc
In ghc-pkgs.txt, check and remove all the packages that have been moved,
then:
# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt`
20150818:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/s6
AUTHOR: Colin Booth <colin@heliocat.net>
s6-notifywhenup has been removed as of v2.2.0.0. Any run scripts
using readyness notification must be updated to use a notification
fd instead.
s6-svc options have changed for sending syncronous up/down timeouts.
Any management or wrapper scripts using those options will need to
be updated.
20150817:
AFFECTS: everybody who still uses <UNIQUENAME>_SET/UNSET in make.conf
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The use of <UNIQUENAME>_SET/UNSET has been deprecated for a long time,
replaced by <OPTIONS_NAME>_SET/UNSET. It is now not supported any more.
A warning will be issued telling you what to do, for example:
$ make
/!\ WARNING /!\
You are using perl_SET which is not supported any more, use:
lang_perl5.20_SET= DEBUG
20150816:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/s6
AUTHOR: Colin Booth <colin@heliocat.net>
s6-notifywhenup is deprecated and will be removed in the next version
of s6. Any run scripts depending on that program should be updated to
use an in-servicedir notification-fd file as described under
"Readyness notification support" in s6-supervise.html.
20150812:
AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/icinga and net-mgmt/icinga2
AUTHOR: lme@FreeBSD.org
The Icinga port has been split into two ports: net-mgmt/icinga-core
which contains the Icinga 1.x backend and net-mgmt/icinga-classicweb
which contains the Icinga classic web (CGI) interface. The latter can
be both used with Icinga 1.x and the Icinga 2 port (net-mgmt/icinga2).
A new meta-port net-mgmt/icinga was added which depends on both new
ports, so updating the Icinga port should be transparent.
20150812:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/moosefs-master and other moosefs packages
AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
MooseFS ports have been updated to 2.0.72-1. Upstream has been
providing a private package repository to distribute newer releases of
MooseFS. These changes have now made it into the ports tree. This has
resulted in splitting up the sysutils/moosefs-master port into several
new ports:
sysutils/moosefs-cli
sysutils/moosefs-cgi
sysutils/moosefs-cgiserv
sysutils/moosefs-metalogger
sysutils/moosefs-netdump
You may need to install these additional ports/packages to restore the
complete functionality of your MooseFS cluster. Please review the
upstream documentation.

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xfce4-power-manager
AUTHOR: olivierd@FreeBSD.org
After upgrading to 1.5.2, by default a label is displayed next to the
panel icon (it shows percentage and remaining time).
To hide this label, a new property /xfce4-power-manager/show-panel-label
must be created:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager \
-p /xfce4-power-manager/show-panel-label -n -t int -s 0
Possible values are:
- 0 -> does not display label
- 1 -> displays only percentage
- 2 -> displays only remaining time
- 3 -> displays only percentage and remaining time (default value)

AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
After upgrading to 2.2.2, manually update all packages that depend on
any of the libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and
libtls) since the versions of these libraries have changed. Normally,
you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following
command:
# pkg info -r libressl
Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
dependent ports.
Portmaster users:
portmaster -r libressl

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.20. If you are using
binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg
upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, assuming you are
migrating from 5.18 to 5.20, do:
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.20 -f lang/perl5.18
portupgrade -f `pkg shlib -R libperl.so.5.18|tail +2`
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.20 lang/perl5.18
portmaster -f `pkg shlib -R libperl.so.5.18|tail +2`
NOTE:
Perl has been removed from base more than ten years ago, so it was way past
time for the /usr/bin/perl symlink to be removed from the port. If for
some strange reason, you still need it, you will have to create it
manually.
IMPORTANT:
In case you have not updated your system in a while, and specifically,
followed the 20141126 instructions regarding the new Perl layout, you
should follow those more extensive instructions rather than the
conservative presented here.

AFFECTS: users of dns/bind9*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
This is only for FreeBSD 10.0+.
BIND auto chroot has been added back to the named rc script. As enabling it
by default would most certainly break people's setup, it is not. To enable
it, and chroot it in /var/named, add the following line to your rc.conf file:
named_chrootdir="/var/named"
On first launch, the rc script will move the /usr/local/etc/namedb directory
into the chroot, and create a symlink to it.
Note that, if you're running from within a jail, you need to have a
/var/named/dev devfs created beforehand, with the null and random devices.
20150323:
AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk* and net/pjsip ports
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Due to conflicts between base OpenSSL and ports provided OpenSSL
library, which is required by net/libsrtp, the srtp support has
to be removed from the default asterisk13 port configuration,
otherwise a not working binary would be generated.
To get SRTP support working in the asterisk ports make sure all
dependencies are linked against the same SSL library implementation
to avoid runtime conflicts. On 10.1 everything will work fine
unless ports SSL libraries are explicitly installed. On older OS
versions(10.0 and earlier) you will need to compile all ports
with WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes.
To get working SRTP support in asterisk13 with the pjsip backend
it is also needed to enable the EXTSRTP option in the pjsip port.
If the CURL option is enabled also make sure the ftp/curl port
is using a GSSAPI implementation linking to the same SSL
implementation the other ports are using (BASE or NONE if you're
using base OpenSSL, GSSAPI_HEIMDAL GSSAPI_MIT otherwise). If an
incompatible option is being used the curl module will cause
asterisk to fail on startup due to mixing calls to OpenSSL from
base and from ports.
20150322:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
The port now uses VersionAddendum for the port version string. Setting

AFFECTS: users of www/thttpd
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
thttpd was updated to version 2.26, which brings several user-noticeable
changes to the port:
- Default WWW root was changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data to more expected
(and standard) ${WWWDIR} (${PREFIX}/www/thttpd), be sure to check and
adjust your thttpd configuration file and/or web layout accordingly;
- Default CGI pattern was changed to "/cgi-bin/*"; this goes better in
line with default installation;
- Default data MIME type was changed to "application/octet-stream";
- thttpd's own htpasswd(1) program, which was previously installed as
thttpdpasswd(1) to avoid conflict with other webservers, is now being
renamed to thtpasswd(1); this not just makes it shorter, but is more
consistent with popular GNU/Linux distributions;
- Index pages for directories are not generated by default from now on
for security reasons; an option (INDEXES) is provided to turn them
back on if they are wanted;
- IPREAL option (to respect (pass on) "X-Forwarded-For" header) is now
turned on by default: it is often required when thttpd is used as a
CGI server behind nginx (http://wiki.nginx.org/ThttpdCGI).

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
Perl now links all .so it builds with libperl.so, it makes upgrading from one
Perl major version to another way easier. For binary package users, it means
pkg upgrade will detect the libperl.so.x.yy change, and reinstall the
affected packages. For users using ports, it will save rebuild time as it's
easier to detect what ports really need to be rebuilt.
Ports users are encouraged to rebuild ports that install files in SITE_ARCH.
If using Perl 5.18, run:
With portupgrade:
portupgrade -f `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u`

AUTHOR: xmj@FreeBSD.org
The CentOS ports infrastructure has replaced Fedora 10 as default.
1. Please delete all remaining f10 ports/packages:
# pkg delete -f linux_base-f10 linux-f10-\*
2. Persistently update the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
This step is necessary on all FreeBSD versions, apart from 11.0-CURRENT
(after revision 271982).
3. Reinstall all software depending on Linux emulation.
As an example, reinstall linux-firefox:
# portmaster -r linux-firefox
or
# portupgrade -f www/linux-firefox
or
# pkg install linux-firefox
If difficulties are encountered, please follow the UPDATING entry 20140922
but skip step 2 (OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT and OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS
in /etc/make.conf). In case these steps do not fix the issues, please submit
an issue report in Bugzilla and send an email to FreeBSD's emulation@ mailing
list.
Users who need to continue using Fedora 10 base and userland should do the
following instead:
1. Add these lines to /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10
2. Downgrade the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf on FreeBSD versions
newer than and including 11.0-CURRENT (after revision 271982).
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
This is all that is needed to continue using an existing Fedora 10 Linux base

AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (close to everyone)
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
The devel/gettext port has been split up in devel/gettext-runtime, a
lightweight package containing runtime libraries, and devel/gettext-tools,
a package containing developer tools. The devel/gettext port still exists
as a metaport.
You must first delete the existing installation of gettext and then
reinstall it. This will break sudo, so you *must* do this in a root
shell (sudo -i) if you use sudo.
# pkg delete -f gettext
# portmaster devel/gettext
Or for portupgrade users:
# pkg delete -f gettext
# portinstall devel/gettext
Or for binary users:
# pkg delete -f gettext
# pkg upgrade

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
There was a nasty bug introduced in the update below, it was introduced in
SVN revision 373476 and corrected in 373485. If you get errors looking like
this one:
===> Registering installation for p5-Params-Util-1.07_1 as automatic
pkg-static: lstat(/usr/ports/devel/p5-Params-Util/work/stage/usr/local/./usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.16/auto/Params/Util/.packlist): No such file or directory
*** [fake-pkg] Error code 74
You will have to wipe your ports tree clean. If using portsnap, with:
portsnap extract
If using subversion:
svn revert -R
20141127:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The .packlist files are back, if you upgraded all your p5- ports yesterday
and need them, you will need to reinstall them again, see yesterday's update
for instructions.
20141126:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/x264
AUTHOR: xmj@FreeBSD.org
With the recent split of multimedia/x264 in library and binary and library
components, if an application that uses libx264 is updated before x264 itself,
multimedia/libx264 will conflict with the existing x264 package. Delete
this package before continuing any update that depends on it:
# pkg delete -f x264
Install the updated x264 and/or upgrade the other applications that
depend on libx264, such as ffmpeg.
20141126:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The directories where Perl modules are installed has changed. All
affected ports' PORTREVISION have been bumped, so upgrading should
be as painless as possible. The old directories have been kept in
the default Perl @INC to make it even more painless.
The default Perl has been switched to lang/perl5.18. These examples
are for switching from lang/perl5.16, if you are running a different
version, replace lang/perl5.16 with the origin of the Perl you have
installed.
Binary package users:
# pkg upgrade -f
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.18):
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.18 -f lang/perl5.16
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.18
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.18 lang/perl5.16
Conservative:
portmaster p5-
Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl5-
Note: If the "perl5-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify
the name of the installed Perl package explicitly. You can get its name
by running: pkg info perl5
20141125:
AFFECTS: users of EFL libraries
AUTHOR: gblach@FreeBSD.org
EFL libraries has been merged into one port. Before installing devel/efl
you must deinstall old EFL libraries:
# pkg delete -f eina eet evas evas-\* ecore\* eio efreet embryo edje \
ethumb emotion
# make -C /usr/ports/devel/efl install clean
20141125:
AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/e17-module*
AUTHOR: gblach@FreeBSD.org
Enlightenment has been updated to 0.19.1. Some of e-modules can't be build
with updated Enlightenment, these modules has been marked as broken.
E-modules which work with new Enlightenment has been renamed to
x11-wm/e-module-*. To update these modules you must call the following
commands (substituting the name of module in place *):
# portmaster -o x11-wm/e-module-* x11-wm/e17-module-*
# portmaster -o x11-wm/e-modules x11-wm/e17-modules
or
# portupgrade -fo x11-wm/e-module-* x11-wm/e17-module-*
# portupgrade -fo x11-wm/e-modules x11-wm/e17-modules
20141123:
AFFECTS: users of security/heimdal
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The header and library files have been moved from PREFIX/{include,lib} to
PREFIX/{include,lib}/heimdal at r373047 to fix a library dependency
confusion when software attempts to link a Heimdal library in base and
an external library in LOCALBASE/lib at the same time.
All of packages which depend on security/heimdal have to be recompiled
and reinstalled because of this library location change.
20141119:
AFFECTS: users of x11/gnome2, graphics/clutter and lang/vala
AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
GNOME 3.14 was imported. Because this is a big change some manual help is
needed. Please use the following instructions to update.
Make a list of the installed ports:
# pkg info > ~/installed-ports-list
Delete the old and conflicting packages:
# pkg delete clutter gnome-utils gnome-panel gnome-keyring vala-vapigen \
guile gcalctool gnome-media libgnomekbd gnome-themes at-spi
# pkg delete gnome-screensaver gnome-applets bug-buddy \
evolution-exchange evolution-webcal gnome-system-tools \
seahorse-plugins gnome-control-center
For package users the following lines will be enough:
# pkg upgrade
# pkg install gnome3
For ports users should do the following:
# portmaster -a
# portmaster x11/gnome3
After these steps, check with the list we made earlier if your favorite
ports are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
20141117:
AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Most of the optional patches for OpenSSH do not apply to the 6.7 update yet.
The 6.6 version has been copied to security/openssh-portable66 if you require
the use of one of the optional ports.
20141109:
AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mediabrowser
AUTHOR: woodsb02@gmail.com
The default MediaBrowser database/configuration/logs/media metadata
storage directory has moved from /usr/local/mediabrowser to
/var/db/mediabrowser. Users are advised either to move the contents of
the old directory to the new location, or to add a mediabrowser_data_dir
entry to /etc/rc.conf.
20141029:
AFFECTS: users of devel/libvirt
AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org
Application state and resource information has been changed from older
path of /usr/local/var to /var. Users are advised to copy over contents
of old var directory to new location if they wish to preserve resources
from the old setup.
20141019:
AFFECTS: users of x11/kde4-runtime
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.14.2. Several files have been
moved between packages, therefore the following action is required
before running any pkg/port upgrade utility:
# pkg delete -f kde-runtime-4\*
20141008:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby19
AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 1.9 to 2.0.
If you compile your own ports you may keep 1.9 as the default version by
adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 1.9 as default version
#
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=1.9
If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
upon how you manage your system.
If you use pkgng, simply upgrade:
# pkg upgrade
If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# portmaster -o lang/ruby20 lang/ruby19
# portmaster -R -r ruby-2.0
If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
# pkg delete -f ruby ruby-iconv portupgrade
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade install clean
# pkg set -o lang/ruby19:lang/ruby20
# portupgrade -x ruby-2.0.\* -fr lang/ruby20

AFFECTS: xorg users
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
The WITH_NEW_XORG setting has been activated by default on all versions
of FreeBSD, which allows us to have packages for xorg 1.12 and kde4.
Please be aware that on systems that only support syscons
switching virtual terminals or exiting X
results in a black screen or the last image of their desktop
(like a screenshot) being presented. Commands can still be typed blindly.
Most, if not all, systems should be using vt(4) and this can be enabled
by setting kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to activate.

20140930:
AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Due to the way pkg works please note that the configuration
variables MAILDROP_SUID and MAILDROP_SGID, despite keeping their
old names, are now required to contain a valid username and
groupname existing on the system in which the package will be
installed, while in the past numeric uids and gids worked fine.
Wrong values will cause pkg to skip installing the setuid binaries
on the system.
Please check your configuration.
20140929:
AFFECTS: users of comms/usbmuxd
AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org
libusbmuxd.so was split from comms/usbmuxd into comms/libusbmuxd.
Remove usbmuxd before upgrading to avoid conflicts:
# pkg delete -f usbmuxd
If you need the daemon usbmuxd(1), you can reinstall the package
after the upgrade.
20140928:
AFFECTS: users of deskutils/calibre
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The dependency on graphics/py-imaging in calibre has been changed
to using the graphics/py-pillow port.
Due to this change automatic updating of the port will not work
correctly.
It is suggested to remove calibre and py-imaging from the system
and then reinstall calibre again using binary packages or ports.
20140927:
AFFECTS: users of net/foreman-proxy
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
In version 1.6 Foreman Smart Proxy splits its configuration into multiple
ruby files located in PREFIX/etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d.
The configuration of each service (dhcp, dhs, bmc, etc.) has been moved
into a dedicated file.
You can use a bundled script to convert your old settings to new settings:
PREFIX/share/foreman/extra/migrate_settings.rb
20140926:
AFFECTS: users of shells/bash
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Bash supports a feature of exporting functions in the environment with
export -f. Running bash with exported functions in the environment will
then import those functions into the environment of the script being ran.
This resulted in security issues CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169, commonly
known as "shellshock". It also can result in poorly written scripts being
tricked into running arbitrary commands.
To fully mitigate against this sort of attack we have applied a non-upstream
patch to disable this functionality by default. You can execute bash
with --import-functions to allow it to import functions from the
environment. The default can also be changed in the port by selecting the
IMPORTFUNCTIONS option.
20140926:
AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk and net/asterisk11
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The asterisk ports have been modified to have the LUA option
turned on by default to make such functionality available to users
of binary packages.
Some care should be taken before upgrading by people not using Lua
to avoid the sample extensions.lua file from being loaded on reload
after updating the asterisk port/pkg.
Users compiling from ports not interested in LUA support are advised
to disable the option before updating.
People using binary packages(or not wanting to disable the LUA
option in the port) not using the Lua functionality should add:
noload => pbx_lua.so
to the PREFIX/etc/asterisk/modules.conf file, if using the
autoload=yes option in that same file. People not autoloading
modules don't need to perform any special action.
If asterisk is rebooted and the pbx_lua module gets loaded on a
system were it should not, it will load the example extensions.lua
configuration file adding unexpected logic to your dialplan. In
such a case following the above steps and reloading asterisk will
fix the problem.
20140922:
AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f10 and emulators/linux_base-c6
AUTHOR: xmj@FreeBSD.org
The complete drop-in replacement linux-c6 port infrastructure is in
ports and will shortly replace the current linux-f10- ports as default.
To switch to the linux-c6 infrastructure:
0. Back up all your vital information!
1. Remove the current linux base port and all linux-f10- ports:
# pkg delete -f linux_base-f10 linux-f10-\*
2. Add these lines to /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6
3. Make sure no Linux application is running.
4. Update the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
Make it take effect immediately:
# sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
5. Install emulators/linux-c6.
These steps are usually sufficient. If there are difficulties, expand
step 1 to:
1a. Remove all ports which depend on the linux base port.
1b. Remove the linux base port.
1c. Clean the /compat/linux/ directory.
If there are any other difficulties not fixed by these extended steps,
please submit an issue report in Bugzilla and send an email to
FreeBSD's emulation@ mailing list.
20140909:
AFFECTS: users seeing build errors about missing *.la files
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
We are in the process of adjusting or, if possible, removing libtool archives
(*.la files) from all ports because they can otherwise cause overlinking
between packages. This is the problem where in the dependency chain A->B->C
an extra link is added from A to C even if A does not use C directly. This
makes some updates to port C expensive because then both A and B have to be
rebuilt instead of just B.
This is mostly behind the scenes work that you won't notice. In fact most
ports have already been converted. You may however run into build errors
about missing *.la files if a port update in the past went wrong and left
behind *.la files with references to other *.la files that are no longer
there. In this case, please run the following command:
find /usr/local/lib -name '*.la' | xargs grep -l 'libfoo\.la' | xargs pkg which
(Replace libfoo\.la with the *.la file that is missing.)
This command will print a list of *.la files that refer to the missing *.la
file and what package they belong to. First, where it says "not found in
the database", remove the *.la file. After removing all such files, where
it says "installed by package X", rebuild X. Eventually the list printed by
that command will be empty and the build error should be gone.
20140826:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/pkg, ports-mgmt/pkg-devel
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Pkg has been updated to 1.3.7. This fixes registration and tracking of
shared libraries. All earlier versions of Pkg incorrectly marked some
shared libraries and used the wrong name for some.
Please note announcement for special instructions at:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-announce/2014-August/000086.html
- Users need to run 'pkg update -f' and 'pkg check -Ba' after upgrading to
pkg-1.3.7 and before updating any other packages. This avoids needing to
reinstall anything not needed due to changed shlibs.
For binary package users:
# pkg install ports-mgmt/pkg
# pkg update -f
# pkg check -Ba
# pkg upgrade
For port users:
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg build deinstall install clean
# pkg check -Ba
- People building packages for serving to other systems need to rebuild
all packages with 1.3.7.
20140823:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/libjpeg-turbo
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
libjpeg-turbo installs its own unique library (libturbojpeg.so) and
a drop-in replacement for libjpeg.so. The drop-in replacement has been
split off into graphics/jpeg-turbo; libjpeg-turbo now installs only
libturbojpeg.so.
If you were using the libjpeg.so from graphics/libjpeg-turbo, you
should install graphics/jpeg-turbo AFTER upgrading the libjpeg-turbo
port.
20140823:
AFFECTS: users of TeXLive
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
TeXLive in Ports Collection has been updated to TL2014.
When upgrading print/texlive-base on a system which has
TL2012 packages, the following error may occur:
pkg-static: texlive-base-20140525 conflicts with texlive-texmf-20120701_4
Please remove texlive-texmf-20120701_4 first in that case.
If you still get a similar "conflict of install files" error,
please remove all of tex-* and texlive-* packages and then
see if ${PREFIX}/share/texmf-dist directory are empty. If not,
installing TeXlive can fail. Removing files in the directory
manually will fix the installation problem.
20140821:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db4, databases/db4[1-7]*
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
HEADS UP: for some applications that store their data in Berkeley DB
databases, you may have to export the data before the upgrade and
reload it afterwards. Detailed instructions are at
<https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/BerkeleyDBCleanup>.
The older databases/db4* ports providing versions 4.0 to 4.7
inclusively have been removed, and 4.8 has been deprecated.
The default Berkeley DB version is now 5.3.
(6.x has a different license, but will be eligible as default on
systems that build ports from source and have db6 installed.)
All enabled and working ports have been changed such that they use
Berkeley DB 4.8 or newer, and an -exp run has been made.
After you have performed the first steps from the Wiki documentation,
and have arrived at a step that reads "build all applications", then
type as privileged user and without the hash sign:
# Tools/scripts/BDB-upgrade-helper.sh
The helper script requires that ports-mgmt/portmaster or
.../portupgrade is installed, will try to upgrade your applications
with either of these tools (portmaster preferred), and if that succeeds,
it will attempt to delete the packages if confirmed interactively.
20140815:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/ilmbase and graphics/OpenEXR
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The OpenEXR and ilmbase (Industrial Light and Magic) shared object
names have changed. You must rebuild all packages that require either
of these libraries, by using one of these commands:
# portmaster -r ilmbase -r OpenEXR
or
# portupgrade -fr graphics/ilmbase graphics/OpenEXR
The PORTREVISIONs of all ports that require ilmbase and/or OpenEXR
have been bumped.
20140810:
AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
7.8.3 and Haskell Platform to 2014.2.0.0. Hence it is recommended to
rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports and the lang/ghc port
itself by one of the following commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
If you use pkg(8) then it is just safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch.
Something alone these lines may work:
# pkg query "%ro" > ghc-pkgs.txt
# pkg delete -y lang/ghc
# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt | grep -Ev "/hs-(haskeline|terminfo|transformers|xhtml)"
20140803:
AFFECTS: users of security/p5-openxpki

The following ports have been integrated into security/p5-openxpki:
security/p5-openxpki-client
security/p5-openxpki-client-scep
security/p5-openxpki-deployment
Before update make sure to remove the old packages:
# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-client
# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-client-scep
# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-deployment
20140802:
AFFECTS: users of astro/stellarium
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
Stellarium was updated to version 0.13.0. It's a new major release, and
it is based on Qt version 5 now. For those who are not comfortable with
upgrading to the new Qt, previous Stellarium version (0.12.4) was copied
over to `astro/stellarium-qt4' port.
20140731:
AFFECTS: users of www/ajaxplorer
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
The ajaxplorer project was renamed to pydio.
Due to this update some manual steps will need to be performed
after updating the port.
IMPORTANT: Perform a backup of the ajaxplorer installation and
the databases backing it(if you're using that feature).
First manually remove the ajaxplorer port and install www/pydio
afterwards.
Further steps will be available in the pkg-message, which can
be shown with these commands:
# pkg info -D pydio
Please also read the upgrading notes at:
http://pyd.io/pydio-core-5.2.0#Upgrading
20140728:
AFFECTS: users of net/GeoIP
AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
GeoIP no longer ships with the GeoIP database. To continue using GeoIP,
you MUST fetch the database after upgrading by running geoipupdate.sh.
20140727:
AFFECTS: users of comms/qpage
AUTHOR: marino@FreeBSD.org
The default configure file location has changed from
${LOCALBASE}/etc/qpage.cf to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/qpage.conf
You will likely want to move the old configure file to the new location
after updating if it contains custom settings.
20140725:
AFFECTS: users of cad/netgen
AUTHOR: stephen@FreeBSD.org
Before you update this port the old one should be removed. (This is
because the build may try to link to libraries that are in
${LOCALBASE}/lib rather than in ${WRKSRC}.)
20140724:
AFFECTS: users of dns/mydns-ng
AUTHOR: danilo@FreeBSD.org
The dns/mydns-ng port no longer has the suffix (-mysql|-pgsql). Before

20140714:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db6
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Oracle Berkeley DB 6 has been upgraded to version 6.1.19. Since the
previous 6.0 version, the log file format has changed in 6.1.
Depending on applications used, you may need to take action BEFORE you
upgrade. For details, please see the online upgrade manual at
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_04/html/upgrading/upgrade_process.html>
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_04/html/installation/upgrade_61_toc.html>
Note: if you've got Apache installed and depending on db6, you may
need to upgrade it separately BEFORE upgrading other ports, such as
Apache modules.
After that, you must rebuild all applications that link to db6 because
the shared library name has changed with the upgrade. To do that:
If you use portmaster:
portmaster -w -r db6-
If you use portupgrade:
portupgrade -fr databases/db6
20140714:
AFFECTS: users of net/linphone-base
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
Linphone has been updated to version 3.7.0 and the linphone-base port
has been split into separate components. You must first delete the
linphone-base package before you can update ports that depend on it.
pkg del -f linphone-base
or
pkg_delete -f linphone-base\*

The pam_pgsql.so module is now installed in PREFIX/lib (/usr/local/lib)
instead of /usr/lib.
20140627:
AFFECTS: users of Java
AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org
The default version of OpenJDK has been updated from 1.6 to 1.7. To update,
users of Java will need to rebuild all ports that depend on Java:
If you use pkg (regardless of if you build ports from source or install
binary packages):
# pkg set -o java/openjdk6:java/openjdk7
If you use portmaster to build ports from source:
# portmaster -o java/openjdk7 openjdk6
# portmaster -R -r openjdk
If you use portupgrade to build ports from source:
# portupgrade -fo java/openjdk7 java/openjdk6

AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme
AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
If you have both security/gnupg AND security/gnupg1 installed, gpgme will
now automatically detect and use security/gnupg. Specifically, it will
search for gpgconf(1) first and use the paths for the binaries provided
by it. Failing that, it will search for a binary named "gpg".
It is no longer possible to specify the location of the gpg binary at
buildtime to differentiate between version 1.x and version 2.x. The port
options GNUPG1 and GNUPG2 now merely add their respective versions of gnupg
as build and runtime dependencies.

20140616:
AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion
AUTHOR: lev@FreeBSD.org
The subversion port has been overhauled. Some optional parts were extracted
into separate ports. These ports are:
www/mod_dav_svn
instead of option MOD_DAV_SVN.
security/subversion-gnome-keyring
instead of option GNOME_KEYRING.
security/subversion-kwallet
instead of option KDE_KWALLET.
If you used devel/subversion with one (or more) of these non-standard
options, you should install the appropriate port(s) after upgrading
subversion.
"mod_dontdothat" is installed unconditionally by www/mod_dav_svn port (it
depended on the TOOLS option before), but is not activated by default, you
may need to edit apache's configuration file.
The devel/subversion port now installs svndiff, svndiff3 and svndiff4
commands if TOOLS option is enabled. They was skipped before.
The official names "diff", "diff3" and "diff4" are prefixed with "svn" to
avoid conflicts with base and other diff versions.
All libraries and binaries are now stripped if the MAINTAINER_DEBUG
option is not selected (including all sub-ports, like bindings
and mod_dav_svn).

AFFECTS: users of net/samba4
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Samba4 port now re-uses the same logic and startup script as Samba41. So,
to get net/samba4 runing you need to rename samba4_enable in /etc/rc.conf
to the samba_sever_enable.
samba_server_enable="YES"
Startup script tries it's best to guess which out of samba/nmbd/smbd/winbindd
daemons have to be started, but you can fine tune this by specifying them in
rc.conf, just make sure that samba_server_enable is enabled(see entry for 20121022).
20140416:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg graphics/dri graphics/libGL and related ports
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD 10-STABLE and
FreeBSD 9-STABLE.
To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports, it is
necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports.
No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg ports but it is
necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports that
depend on the xserver version, including
emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Portrevisions have been bumped
where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will need to
recompile those.
If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to
specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg
distribution.
For users in need of working console when using KMS drivers (intel and
radeon graphics cards) please use the new vt(9) console driver.
For more information, see https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics and
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons .
To update:
# pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\*

AFFECTS: users of Python and pkg >= 1.2.7_1
AUTHOR: koobs@FreeBSD.org
There have been reports of the following error when upgrading Python ports:
pkg-static: Plist error, directory listed as a file: <name>.egg-info
The cause is an outdated or unpatched version of setuptools or distribute
installed by the user, or leftover from previous upgrades being used during
the `setup.py install` phase. pkg >= 1.2.7_1 now generates an error where
previously it did not.
Users should inspect their ${LOCALBASE}/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages
directory, and remove any entries that reference versions of
setuptools or distribute *not* provided by ports or packages.
Examples of entries that may be removed are:
1) distribute-0.6.35-py2.7.egg
2) setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
3) *Any* version of setuptools directly from PyPI via pip or easy_install

following steps:
1) update your lang/php* options (i.e. 'make config')
2) rebuild lang/php* port
3) install www/mod_php* port
It is *mandatory* to build both ports with the same DEBUG and ZTS

AFFECTS: users of devel/py-setuptools dependent ports
AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
devel/py-setuptools is being used for every python ports (if USE_PYDISTUTILS
defined) since r336553. Due to PKGORIGIN limitation, we cannot build one
python port with python27 and the other with python33 since they require
different setuptools versions which have same PKGORIGIN. With the addition
of py-setuptools{27,32,33}, we could now have py27-foo and py33-bar coexist
in one system.
Note that this is only a short-term solution. It does not help if you need
coexistence of one port with different python versions, e.g. py27-foo and
py33-foo.
Please rebuild all ports that depend on devel/py-setuptools and use
devel/py-setuptools{27,32,33} instead.
XX represents python version (27, 32 or 33) in the following steps.
pkgng users:
# pkg set -o devel/py-setuptools:devel/py-setuptoolsXX

AFFECTS: users of net/samba41
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
With the introduction of Samba 4.1 corresponding port lost SWAT support
and made WINBIND support mandatory. As samba4 introduced additional 'samba'
daemon to the tripplet of nmbd/smbd/winbindd to avoid confusion startup
script for samba41 was renamed to 'samba_server'. To start the whole band
up it's enough to add to the rc.conf:
samba_server_enable="YES"
Startup script tries it's best to guess which out of samba/nmbd/smbd/winbindd
daemons have to be started, but you can fine tune this by specifying them in
rc.conf, just make sure that samba_server_enable is enabled(see entry for 20121022).

AFFECTS: users of databases/ruby-bdb or ports-mgmt/portupgrade and databases/db5 or databases/db6
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
databases/db5 and databases/db6 have recently been updated to fix
bugs. This changed their patchlevel version.
However, ruby-bdb used to break during the db[56] upgrade due to a bug
described in <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=184921>.
THEREFORE, YOU MUST MANUALLY UPGRADE databases/ruby-bdb INDIVIDUALLY
TO 0.6.6_2 OR NEWER WHEN USING portupgrade AGAINST databases/db[56]
PORTS. To achieve that, type:
# portupgrade databases/ruby-bdb
or
# portmaster -x 'db*' databases/ruby-bdb
before proceeding with other upgrades.
Should you have corrupted the portupgrade databases, or if ruby-bdb
refuses to work with the upgraded db* port with errors such as "DB
needs compatible versions of libdb & db.h", then rebuild the ruby-bdb
port manually, and fix the portupgrade databases:
# make -C /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb all deinstall install clean
# pkgdb -fu
# portupgrade -f db5 db6
This should return portupgrade to normal operation.

AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg, graphics/libGL, graphics/dri, all xorg ports
AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD CURRENT.
To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports, it is
necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports.
No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg port but it is
necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports that
depend on the xserver version, including
emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Portrevisions have been bumped
where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will need to
recompile those.
If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to
specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg
distribution.
To update:
# pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\*
or
# pkg delete -f libGL dri
followed by
# portmaster graphics/dri graphics/libGL
or
# portupgrade graphics/dri graphics/libGL
and then
# portmaster -a

# portupgrade -a
20131216:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db4*
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
Berkeley DB versions before and excluding 4.8 have been marked deprecated.
New port installations should be based on Berkeley DB 5 or 6.
Note that Oracle Berkeley DB 6 is under the more restrictive Affero GPL v3
license, be sure to review if using that fits your requirements.
You can add WITH_BDB_VER=5 or WITH_BDB_VER=6 to /etc/make.conf to have all
applications that get rebuilt use Oracle Berkeley DB 5 or 6, respectively.
DO NOT FORCE DELETE older BerkeleyDB packages, that breaks the upgrade
tools. Instead, first rebuild the ports that depend on it, then
remove the old Berkeley DB versions.
Berkeley DB ports should be able to build/install with an older and a
newer version version both installed if WITH_BDB_VER is set. If a
port then grabs the old Berkeley DB version, that is an issue with the
port that requires Berkeley DB, and should be reported to the
maintainer.
If you are interested in upgrading now already, we have instructions
at <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/BerkeleyDBCleanup>.

AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
10-CURRENT after r254273 (committed on August 13, 2013) has an
implementation of iconv enabled by default in libc.
NOTE: after r341775 (committed on January 29, 2014) and other
following commits, a few ports, including devel/glib20, depend
on the converters/libiconv again due to missing functionality in the
base iconv implementation.
Due to this change some major overhauling of the ports tree has
been necessary to move the ports to using that implementation.
People using pkgng binary packages should have little problems,
"pkg upgrade" will update all software to not depend on libiconv
anymore, once updated packages are available. Please make sure to
perform a "pkg autoremove" after that and check that libiconv is
correctly removed by it.
If you are using ports the update requires some manual intervention.
The following procedure should be followed:
# pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update
# pkg delete -f libiconv
# cat ports_to_update | xargs portmaster
or:
# pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update

AFFECTS: users of net/openafs
AUTHOR: bjk@FreeBSD.org
The OpenAFS 1.6.5 release is a security release which requires substantial
configuration changes to the AFS servers in addition to the software update,
in order to be fully protected. The entry for OPENAFS-SA-2013-003 on
http://www.openafs.org/security/ has links to the upgrade documentation.
The procedure involves rekeying the cell to a non-DES krb5 key, stored in
a krb5 keytab named rxkad.keytab in PREFIX/etc/openafs/server/.

AFFECTS: users of japanese/mozc-server and japanese/mozc-el
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
The bin/mozc_emacs_helper program is now built and installed by
japanese/mozc-server because the build processes are heavily
overlapped with each other and the helper program does not depend on
most of what mozc-server does actually. To upgrade them, please remove
mozc-el first to prevent a conflict with the installed bin/mozc_emacs_helper.

AFFECTS: users of security/logcheck
AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org
The logcheck port now provides a configuration option controlling
installation of the crontab file. When installing the port interactively,
the port option is enabled by default to mimic previous behavior.
When the port is installed non-interactively (BATCH=yes) the crontab
file *will not* be installed automatically. If the EXAMPLES port option
is enabled, the crontab file can be installed manually at a later time
from EXAMPLESDIR/crontab.in.

AFFECTS: users of dns/py-ldns
AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
The dns/py-ldns port now only installs the Python bits, and depends on
dns/ldns. Because of that, you cannot just do a regular upgrade, it
would install dns/ldns overwriting existing files and removing them when
removing the old version of dns/py-ldns.
# pkg_delete -f py-ldns-\*

AFFECTS: users of www/ajaxplorer
AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
Ajaxplorer was updated to 5.0.1. This is a major update and some
manual intervention may be needed.
Before upgrading you should preserve the following files in WWWDIR
(defaults to PREFIX/www/ajaxplorer) if you have customized them:
conf/bootstrap_conf.php
conf/bootstrap_context.php
conf/bootstrap_plugins.php
conf/bootstrap_repositories.php
and put them back after the upgrade.
If you are using a database backend you will need to manually
update your database table using the sql script the port will
install at WWWDIR/conf/conf/4.2.3-5.0.0-db-upgrade.sql
Don't forget to check the documentation about upgrading from

AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The KDE Software Compilation 4.10.4 was committed a few days ago, and
version 4.10.5 was committed today.
They include better support for using clang as the compiler, but that
requires recompiling all KDE ports which depend on x11/kdelibs4. Most
ports which fall into this category are already part of the KDE Software
Compilation and have been updated to version 4.10.5, but those released
separately need to be rebuilt manually.
If you are building your KDE ports with clang, doing the following is
recommended:
# portmaster -r kdelibs-4\*
or
# portupgrade -fr x11/kdelibs4
or
# pkg install -fR x11/kdelibs4
Alternatively, to avoid rebuilding the ports which are part of the 4.10.5
update:
# portmaster -x \*-4.10.5\* -r kdelibs-4\*
or
# portupgrade -x \*-4.10.5\* -fr x11/kdelibs4

20130627:
AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portmaster
AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
Since June 22nd, portmaster no longer relies on 'WITH_PKGNG' to be defined,
or ports to be checked out to enable pkgng support.
It now considers whether or not pkg is installed and registered with itself.
I.e., if this returns data, pkgng is considered in use:
# pkg info pkg
It's possible that you may have tested pkgng in the past, ran pkg2ng, and
never fully committed to it by setting WITH_PKGNG. If this is the case,
uninstall pkg with pkg_info/pkg_delete and also remove the stale database,
rm /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite.
This could manifest itself as portmaster -L showing the wrong versions, or
portmaster no longer detecting installed packages correctly.
Note that PORTS still require WITH_PKGNG=yes in make.conf if you are not
running CURRENT.
20130627:
AFFECTS: users of net/samba36
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Samba has updated format of it's printing tdbs (ntprinting.tdb, ntforms.tdb,
ntdrivers.tdb) to include character encoding. When updating from Samba 3.5
or earlier to Samba 3.6 or 4.0 these tdbs need to be migrated to new registry
based printing management. This implies also character conversion.
You have to specify the correct code page for the conversion, see iconv -l.
The mostly used one is Windows Latin1 which is CP1252.
You can correctly view the tdb with:
# net printing dump encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb
or migrate it with e.g.:
# net printing migrate encoding=CP1252 /path/to/ntprinters.tdb
If you migrate printers it is suggest to do it in the following order:
ntforms.tdb
ntdrivers.tdb
ntprinting.tdb
Don't forget to rename, move or delete these files in /var/db/samba after
the migration.

AFFECTS: users of www/magento
AUTHOR: melvyn@magemana.nl
Magento has been updated to 1.7.0.2 on 2013-06-03. With it a stricter file
system policy is enforced on the port. If you (or your customer) rely heavily
on Magento Connect via the backend to install extensions, your quickfix is:
# chown -R www: ${PREFIX}/www/magento
# chmod -R u+w ${PREFIX}/www/magento
The more conservative approach:
# chown -R www: ${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/code/{local,community} \
${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/{design,locale} \
${PREFIX}/www/magento/{downloader,skin}
# chmod -R u+w ${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/code/{local,community} \
${PREFIX}/www/magento/app/{design,locale} \
${PREFIX}/www/magento/{downloader,skin}
The conservative approach will alert you to extensions that try to write in
Magento core, while allowing clean extensions to install properly (corner
cases may exist).

AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
devel/subversion has been upgraded from 1.7.10 to 1.8.0
If you want to upgrade, and use http/https access to repositories,
please check, that the SERF option is enabled, as NEON support
is gone. Also, mod_dontdothat and svnauthz_validate are
now enabled with one option TOOLS, among other new tools
and SVNMUCC is enabled always.
subversion-1.7.x is available as devel/subversion17
To stay on subversion-1.7.x set in /etc/make.conf

# pkg set -o devel/subversion:devel/subversion17
or
# portmaster -o devel/subversion17 devel/subversion
20130614:
AFFECTS: users who set port options in make.conf
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
Configuring options in make.conf using variables like OPTIONS_SET and
OPTIONS_UNSET now also suppresses the option dialog for those options.
This means that when building a port the option dialog will only appear if
there are truly new options that have not been configured before using either
the dialog or make.conf. This allows you to set options like DOCS, NLS,
X11, etc. once for all ports and not have option dialogs pop up if those are
the only options. For a list of variables you can set in make.conf to
control options see Mk/bsd.options.mk.

AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby18
AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org
The default ruby version has been updated from 1.8 to 1.9. First, stop any
software that uses ruby. Then, you'll need to rebuild all ports that depend
on ruby:
If you use portmaster:
# portmaster -o lang/ruby19 lang/ruby18
# portmaster -R -r ruby-1.9
If you use portupgrade:
# portupgrade -f lang/ruby18
# portupgrade -f lang/ruby19 # if you have it installed
# portupgrade -f ports-mgmt/portupgrade
# portupgrade -x ruby-1.8.\* -fr lang/ruby18
After these steps are complete, you can pkg_delete ruby 1.8 if you
no longer need it.
If you use pkgng:
# pkg set -o lang/ruby18:lang/ruby19
# pkg install -fR lang/ruby19
If you wish to keep the 1.8 version as default, add the following lines
to your /etc/make.conf file:
#
# Keep ruby 1.8 as default version.

AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
X.Org, including libraries and some drivers, was updated. If you are

AFFECTS: users of textproc/elasticsearch
AUTHOR: tj@FreeBSD.org
This is the first stable release based on Lucene 4. We recommend testing
the upgrade before doing it in production.
Upgrading from 0.20 requires a full cluster restart.
In order to be able to downgrade, stop indexing new data, issue a flush
request, do the upgrade and only enable indexing of new data once you
are certain that you no longer need to downgrade. Once new data has
been indexed, downgrading is no longer possible. To be extra safe, back
up your data before upgrading.

20130512:
AFFECTS: users of devel/hs-git-annex
AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
On FreeBSD, git-annex incorrectly calculated SHA256 hashes for files
added to the annex repository due to the BSD-style output of
/sbin/sha256. The result of this is silent data corruption.
This problem has been fixed, but every file stored in an annex
repository will fail a `git-annex fsck` after the upgrade. Thus,
before updating, it is wise to issue the command below and restore the
files.
$ git-annex uninit
Corruptions can then be found by finding all files with the same hash.
Note that only files that were mishashed to the same location are a
problem.
20130511:
AFFECTS: users of TeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
One can now choose TeXLive or teTeX by using TEX_DEFAULT.
Specifying TEX_DEFAULT=texlive, almost all of ports which use TeX
will install and depend on TeXLive-based ones. Note that the
default value is still "tetex" and the two cannot coexist. You need
to remove all of the TeX-related packages based on teTeX to try
TeXLive.

AFFECTS: users of TeX
AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org
TeXLive ports have been imported. Although most of ports still depend
on teTeX at this moment, they will be converted to use TeXLive.
The directory layout of them is as follows. Please use print/texlive-full
if you are not familiar with how each component works. Finer-grained
ports will be added (specifically, meta ports for smaller installation
and so on). Note that the full installation needs around 3GB of disk space.
teTeX-based ports and TeXLive are mutually exclusive. This means TeXLive
ports cannot be installed when teTeX is already installed. You need
to remove all of the TeX-related packages based on teTeX to try TeXLive.
Migration procedure will be announced when conversion of the port
dependency is completed.
* Meta port
- print/texlive-full: meta port to install all of the TeXLive components
* Libraries

libiconv now handles the lib/charset.alias file instead of devel/gettext.
If you are using pkgng 'and' upgrading from source with portupgrade or
portmaster, first delete gettext, upgrade libiconv, then reinstall gettext.
This will break sudo, so you *must* do this in a root shell (sudo -i)
if you use sudo.

AFFECTS: users of net/samba4-devel
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
The port was renamed into net/samba4 and is going to replace older
development version of Samba4. You can upgrade it with:
# portmaster -o net/samba4 net/samba4-devel
In case you want to upgrade from net/samba36 make sure, that you've
made backup of /usr/local/etc/smb.conf and the content of /var/db/samba/
directory.
There is no direct upgrade path from Samba3 to Samba4, but you can
always try:
# portmaster -o net/samba4 net/samba36
Make sure you've read instructions from the supplied README.FreeBSD
file and read all the relevant pages on http://wiki.samba.org/
We still miss necessary support for Samba4 from base ntpd and bind9,
port versions are also are not ready yet, but been worked on.
Please note, that Samba4 is still in it's early days, so there are
bugs both from my side and it's own, so be careful with placing it
into production.

AFFECTS: users of devel/libvanessa_socket, mail/perdition
AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
The update of devel/libvanessa_socket to 0.0.12 (used by Perdition)
adds IPv6 support. If the hostname in bind_address has both IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses in DNS, then Perdition will ONLY listen on IPv6.
If you prefer to continue to use IPv4, you need to change the
bind_address in /usr/local/etc/perdition/perdition.conf to use an
explicit IPv4 address. This can be in addition to, or instead of,
the current hostname, depending on whether you want to use IPv6 or
not. If your Perdition server does not have an IPv6 address
listed in DNS, this change does not affect you.
20130108:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cfengine*
AUTHOR: gjb@FreeBSD.org
sysutils/cfengine has been created as a master port for the set of
sysutils/cfengine* ports. Users interested in tracking the latest
stable branch of cfengine should update their port origins to use
the new port, for example:
# portmaster -o sysutils/cfengine sysutils/cfengine33
or
# portupgrade -fo sysutils/cfengine sysutils/cfengine33
or
# pkg set -o sysutils/cfengine33:sysutils/cfengine
Users that switch their port origin and later wish to remain on
a particular cfengine release can override the default version by
adding CFENGINE_VERSION to /etc/make.conf, where CFENGINE_VERSION
is a value from:
# make -V VERSIONS
20130103:
AFFECTS: users of textproc/docproj*
AUTHOR: doceng@FreeBSD.org
textproc/docproj no longer requires WITH_JADETEX to be set to 'yes' or
'no', and by default, will enable the JADETEX dependencies.
The textproc/docproj-jadetex port has been removed as a result of this
change.
Users that have installed textproc/docproj and have set
WITH_JADETEX=no during compile time should update the package origin
to use textproc/docproj-nojadetex:
# portmaster -o textproc/docproj textproc/docproj-nojadetex
or
# portupgrade -fo textproc/docproj textproc/docproj-nojadetex
or
# pkg set -o textproc/docproj-nojadetex:textproc/docproj
Users that have installed textproc/docproj-jadetex should update the
package origin to use the textproc/docproj port:
# portmaster -o textproc/docproj textproc/docproj-jadetex
or
# portupgrade -fo textproc/docproj textproc/docproj-jadetex
or
# pkg set -o textproc/docproj-jadetex:textproc/docproj
Users that have installed textproc/docproj and have set
WITH_JADETEX=yes will not need to make any changes.

AFFECTS: users of net/samba36
AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
Startup rc.d/samba script was modified to address some problems with the
fine control of supplementary daemons. As a side effect now it's always
necessary to specify in rc.conf:
samba_enable=YES
to get the script working. You can still control each of the daemons
individually, by disabling/enabling them with:
nmbd_enable=NO
smbd_enable=NO
winbindd_enable=YES

20121010:
AFFECTS: users of CURRENT (OSVERSION >= 1000017)
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
The ports tree is now using pkgng as the default package manager
for HEAD. This only affects users of CURRENT -- users of other
branches need not take any action.
To keep pkg_install as the default package manager, use the new
WITHOUT_PKGNG knob in make.conf
To make the switch:
1) Set WITHOUT_PKGNG=yes in make.conf and upgrade all your ports to
the latest available versions using your favourite tools.
2) Install ports-mgmt/pkg
3) Remove WITHOUT_PKGNG from make.conf and run:
# pkg2ng

AFFECTS: users of audio/libogg
AUTHOR: naddy@FreeBSD.org
There is a new version of libogg (1.3.0) and the shared library version
has been bumped (ogg.7 to ogg.8). All ports that have an identifiable
direct dependency on this library have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped.
However, some ports that pull in the library indirectly may continue to
look for the old version. To ensure that all are updated, perform this
step:
# portmaster -r libogg
or
# portupgrade -rf libogg
20120717:
AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The options of ProFTPD have been made much more user-friendly.
As the modules are all shared libraries, all possible modules are built

AFFECTS: users of math/metis
AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org
The older version of metis has been moved to math/metis4, and
math/metis has been updated to 5.0.2. Dependent ports still use
the old API, and the different versions of metis cannot coexist, so
most users should update with:
# portmaster -o math/metis4 math/metis
# portmaster -r math/metis4
or the equivalent.
20120702:
AFFECTS: users of databases/couchdb
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org, Adam Strohl <adams-ports@ateamsystems.com>
The couchdb port has an unfortunate side effect; versions before 1.2.0
will clobber local.ini. The port will refuse to build if that file is
present and an earlier version is installed, however no such protection
can be afforded to package installation.
To upgrade from 1.1.0 and earlier, simply move PREFIX/etc/couchdb/local.ini
out of the way until the upgrade is complete.
20120702:
AFFECTS: users of net-im/mikutter
AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.16 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.12, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f perl-5.12.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12
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.
The default version for Perl has also been changed from 5.12 to 5.14.
20120623:
AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xfce4-utils

20120618:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db5
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The databases/db5 port has been upgraded to BerkeleyDB 5.3. This
entails a shared library bump.
Before upgrading this port, check if your applications use
transactional data bases, and if they do, prepare them for a log file
format upgrade. YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE YOU UPGRADE THE DB5 PORT! See:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/upgrading/upgrade_process.html
All packages that depend on db5 need to be rebuilt due to the shared
library version change. The full changelog is at
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/berkeleydb/html/changelog_5_3.html
To upgrade the packages that need Berkeley DB 5, please
issue one of the following commands (depending on your preferred tool):
# portmaster -r db5-5
or
# portupgrade -fr databases/db5
20120616:
AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd
AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org
The lighttpd startup script has been changed and is now compatible to the
apache startup script. The "reload" subcommand now sends a SIGHUP to the
process and triggers cycling of log files. The new command "graceful"
performs a graceful restart (similar to former "reload") and "gracefulstop"
performs a graceful stop. The "check" command has been replaced with
the "configtest" command.
20120615:
AFFECTS: users of databases/akonadi
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
The latest Akonadi update includes critical bug fixes. Manual
intervention is required for people using local MySQL database (the
default configuration) as backend:
$ akonadictl stop
Wait a bit, and make sure that akonadiserver and akonadi_control are
not running. Kill them if needed. Then, you have two alternatives:
$ mysql_install_db --force \
--defaults-file=~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf \
--datadir=~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data \
--basedir=$(dirname `dirname $(which mysql_install_db)`)
$ rm ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf
...or...
$ rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi
In the latter case, Akonadi will have to recache your personal data
(might take a while). Akonadi is only a cache, no data will be lost.
Then:
$ akonadictl start
20120613:
AFFECTS: users of graphics/djvulibre and graphics/djvulibre-nox11
AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org
DjVuLibre been updated to 3.5.25.3. The Qt 3.x GUI support that was in
graphics/djvulibre has been removed (users of this GUI should consider
switching to the new Qt 4.x GUI in graphics/djview4), and
graphics/djvulibre-nox11 has been merged back into graphics/djvulibre.
To update DjVuLibre, you can use:
# pkg_delete djvulibre-\?.\*
# portmaster -o graphics/djvulibre djvulibre-nox11
You should then update any installed ports that link to the djvulibre shared
library: converters/pdf2djvu, graphics/djview4, graphics/okular, and --
if optional djvulibre support was enabled -- graphics/ImageMagick,
graphics/apvlv, and graphics/evince.

AFFECTS: users of net/nss-pam-ldapd
AUTHOR: scheidell@FreeBSD.org
The net/nss-pam-ldapd port no longer provides an option for SASL. This has
been sourced out to the new net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl port, to accommodate
users using packages (see ports/162240). Users with openldap-sasl-client
installed are encouraged to change the port's origin to:
net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl using their favorite ports management tool.

AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
p5-XML-SAX (X-S) was split into p5-XML-SAX-Base (X-S-B) and p5-XML-SAX for
version 0.99. Since X-S-B now installs some files formerly installed by X-S
the package for X-S must be deinstalled before updating X-S.
# pkg_delete -fx p5-XML-SAX
# portmaster textproc/p5-XML-SAX
(users of pkgng can substitute pkg_delete with pkg delete)
20120511:

AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
In order to allow graphics/xpdf and graphics/poppler-utils to coexist,
graphics/xpdf binaries have been moved from ${LOCALBASE}/bin to
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf. The symlink ${LOCALBASE}/bin/xpdf points to
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf/xpdf. However the other utilities installed by
the xpdf port conflict with poppler-utils, no symlinks are maintained.
Applicaions and scripts which use the pdf* utilities provided by
graphics/xpdf must reference them using their new location, specify
${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf in $PATH, or use the same utilities provided by
graphics/poppler-utils.

20120430:
AFFECTS: users of www/py-google-api-python-client
AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org
The port has been updated to 1.0.b8. This new version has important
changes which might break your code:
* apiclient.anyjson has moved to oauth2client.anyjson.
* Some calls, for example, taskqueue().lease() used to require
a parameter named body. In this new release only methods that
really need to send a body require a body parameter, and so
you may get errors about an unknown 'body' parameter in your call.
The solution is to remove the unneeded body={} parameter
See http://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/wiki/PyDoc for
more information.

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/net-snmp
AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org
The net-snmp startup script now specifies a new pid_file to avoid a
conflict that existed with bsnmpd. As a result, the startup script
cannot find currently running versions of snmpd.
You will need to either stop the daemon before upgrading or locate the

20120116:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current
AUTHOR: Sahil Tandon <sahil@FreeBSD.org>
From the upstream RELEASE_NOTES:
Instead of terminating immediately with a "fatal" message when a
database file can't be opened, a Postfix daemon program now logs
an "error" message, and continues execution with reduced
functionality.
Specify "daemon_table_open_error_is_fatal = yes" to get the
historical behavior (immediate termination with "fatal" message).
Logfile-based alerting systems may need to be updated to look for
"error" messages in addition to "fatal" messages.
By default the Postfix SMTP server no longer reports transcripts
of sessions where a client command is rejected because a table is
unavailable. To receive such reports, add the new "data" class to
the notify_classes parameter value. The reports will be sent to the
error_notice_recipient address as before. This class is also used
by the Postfix SMTP client to report about sessions that fail
because a table is unavailable.
20120116:
AFFECTS: users of x11/xcb-util
AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
x11/xcb-util was updated to 0.3.8 and was split in new modules.

20111019:
AFFECTS: users of mail/thunderbird or www/seamonkey with lightning
plugin installed.
AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
To get an up to date version of lightning you should use the new
LIGHTNING option in mail/thunderbird or www/seamonkey. This option
is not enabled by default so you have to run "make config" prior
to the build. The old deskutils/lightning-thunderbird and
deskutils/lightning ports should no longer be used and will be
removed very soon.
Like other XPIs ports, lightning now registers itself as a global
extension and doesn't create the XPI to be installed manually.
Upgrading users should remove lightning from their profile before
installing Thunderbird or SeaMonkey the first time with the new
LIGHTNING option enabled.
20111018:
AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current

# portmaster misc/kdehier4
If you have - or plan to install - net/kdenetwork4, also run:
# portmaster -o net/linphone-base ortp
Finally:
# portmaster -a
Also, remove /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d from local_startup in rc.conf(5).
Failure to do this will cause all enabled scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
to be started twice.
Remember to check for missing ports, bearing in mind that x11/kdebase4*
ports were replaced by x11/kde4-* ones, ktts was replaced by jovie, while
konq-plugins-kde4 and nepomukcontroller were removed. Then:
# portmaster --check-depends
You're also encouraged to run `pkg_cutleaves` or similar to check for
orphaned ports.
Please, note that `pkg_add -r kde4` will not install Plasma scriptengines
and printer utilities by default anymore, and `pkg_add -r kdegames4` will
not install Kajongg. This was made to avoid depending by default on
kdebindings.

AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion, devel/subversion-freebsd,
devel/p5-subversion, devel/py-subversion,
devel/ruby-subversion and java/subversion-java and
all dependand ports.
AUTHOR: Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
Subversion was updated to version 1.7.0 and port was reworked.
Now there is no "devel/subversion-freebsd" port. All FreeBSD-specific patches
are incorporated into main subversion port as options, which are turned ON by
default.
These options are:
P4_STYLE_MARKERS -- change conflict markers to P4 style,
established for FreeBSD projects.
This is not mandatory for working with
FreeBSD sources.
ENHANCED_KEYWORD -- Support for custom keywords, like
$ FreeBSD $ in sources.
This is MANDATORY for working with
FreeBSD sources.
FREEBSD_TEMPLATE -- Standard FreeBSD commit template.
It is RECOMMENDED for working with
FreeBSD sources.
Also, subversion 1.7.0 changes the working copy format,
and a working copy cannot be shared between
subversion 1.7.0 and 1.6.x. Please, think twice before
upgrading.
Additional the port "devel/subversion16" was created to
support subversion 1.6.x. Subversion 1.7.x and 1.6.x
cannot be installed simultaneously!
Binding ports can be built with Subversion 1.7.0 (Default)
or with Subversion 1.6.x. To build bindings with subversion 1.6.x
you should set variable WITH_SUBVERSION_VER to "16".
There are several ways to upgrade, depending on what you used
before and what you want to get after upgrade.
(a) You use devel/subversion without FreeBSD patches and, maybe,
some bindings. You want fresh'n'new subversion 1.7.0.
Please, run:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion && make config
<deselect first three options described above, if you want it>
# portupgrade -r devel/subversion
or
# portmaster -R -r subversion-1.6
(b) You use devel/subversion-freebsd and, maybe, some
bindings. You want fresh'n'new subversion 1.7.0, again
with FreeBSD patches.
Please, run:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion && make config
<make sure that first three options are selected>
# portupgrade -o devel/subversion devel/subversion-freebsd
# portupgrade -r devel/subversion
or
# portmaster -o devel/subversion devel/subversion-freebsd
# portmaster -R -r subversion-1.7
(c) You use devel/subversion without FreeBSD patches and, maybe,
some bindings. You want good old subversion 1.6.x, again
without again.
Please, run:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion16 && make config
<deselect first three options described above, if you want it>
# portupgrade -o devel/subversion16 devel/subversion
# portupgrade -m "WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=16" -r devel/subversion16
or
# portmaster -o devel/subversion16 devel/subversion
# portmaster -m "WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=16" -R -r subversion-1.6
(d) You use devel/subversion-freebsd and, maybe, some bindings.
You want good old subversion 1.6.x, with FreeBSD patches.
Please, run:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion16 && make config
<make sure, that first three options are selected>
# portupgrade -o devel/subversion16 devel/subversion-freebsd
# portupgrade -m "WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=16" -r devel/subversion16
or
# portmaster -o devel/subversion16 devel/subversion-freebsd
# portmaster -m "WITH_SUBVERSION_VER=16" -R -r subversion-1.6

AFFECTS: users of lang/erlang
AUTHOR: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@FreeBSD.org>
Following the R14B04 upgrade the JAVA, X11, WX and ODBC port
options have been set to OFF by default; this will allow to replace
lang/erlang-lite with lang/erlang for headless operation in the
near future.
If you need any of these options, run "make config" in lang/erlang
before upgrading, or set your make.conf accordingly.
20111003:
AFFECTS: users of math/qhull
AUTHOR: Stephen Montgomery-Smith <stephen@FreeBSD.org>
The port math/qhull has been moved to math/qhull5, and math/qhull has been
updated to a version that is incompatible with all ports previously using
math/qhull. If you are upgrading a port that has math/qhull as a dependency,
please delete the port math/qhull first, so that math/qhull5 is properly
made as a dependency.

20110928:
AFFECTS: users of 10-current
AUTHOR: eadler@FreeBSD.org
There are known issues installing ports on FreeBSD 10+ due to
bogus assumptions by various build scripts. This will not be fixed
until 9-RELEASE is released.
There are two workarounds:
1) Set UNAME_r=9.9-CURRENT in your environment
2) Set REVISION="9.9" in ${SRCDIR}/sys/conf/newvers.sh

thread stack size of the system. If you want to change it, specify it
with -DTHREAD_STACK_SIZE=<size> in CFLAGS.
20110925:
AFFECTS: users of net/openldap*
AUTHOR: ume@FreeBSD.org

AFFECTS: users of devel/maven2 and devel/maven3
AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org
The devel/maven2 and devel/maven3 now rely on a wrapper port:
devel/maven-wrapper. If you plan to upgrade the devel/maven[23] ports, you
will have to uninstall all of them before reinstalling them.
20110917:
AFFECTS: users of misc/tvbrowser
AUTHOR: lme@FreeBSD.org
From version 3.0.2 on TV-Browser doesn't include any plugins any longer. You
are supposed to download the plugins manually, this also means that you need
to download the appropriate channel sources plugin for your country. After
installing it your previously configured channels are visible again. To do so,
select "Tools -> Install / Update Plugins..." and choose the plugins you need.
20110915:
AFFECTS: users of dns/unbound
AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org
unbound supports GOST from version 1.4.12 but only if dns/ldns was build
with GOST support too. There is no way to check the option when unbound
builds, so you should make sure the option is on in both unbound and lds.
20110914:
AFFECTS: users of www/asterisk-stat
AUTHOR: flo@FreeBSD.org
asterisk-stat depends on asterisk16 now, you will need to update asterisk

20110901:
AFFECTS: users of databases/db51
AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
The databases/db51 port (Oracle Berkeley DB version 5.1) has been
removed. Version 5.2 of the package is available in databases/db5.
Users of ports that depend on the removed 5.1 versions are advised
to rebuild the affected ports.
20110830:
AFFECTS: users of lang/racket
AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
Racket has been upgraded to version 5.1.3. Due to the recent rewrite of
the Racket graphics handling code, it is no longer possible to build
this port without X11.
The WITHOUT_X11 switch now controls if X11 is brought in as
USE_GNOME/LIB_DEPENDS or BUILD_DEPENDS.
In the latter case you will be able to build a Racket package that can
then be deployed on a headless server.
20110829:
AFFECTS: users of security/maia
AUTHOR: Janky Jay, III <ek@purplehat.org>
There have been many changes to the maia port, including renaming the rc
script and variables from maia to maiad. You will need to replace any
instances of maia with maiad in /etc/rc.conf, as well as renaming /var/amavisd
to /var/maiad. The 'vscan' user's home directory also needs to be changed to
/var/maiad.
These can be done by:
# mv /var/amavisd /var/maiad
# sed -i.bak -e "s/^maia_/maiad_/" /etc/rc.conf
# pw usermod vscan -d /var/maiad

# portmaster -o devel/p5-Moose devel/p5-Class-MOP
# portmaster -R -r p5-Moose-\*
or do the same things with portupgrade.
To check everything went fine you can run:
# perl -Moose\ 999

AFFECTS: users of mail/sympa
AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
Sympa previously used to install to ${PREFIX}/sympa, which goes against
the general rules for hierarchy. Most files which were previously found
in ${PREFIX}/sympa should now be found in ${PREFIX}/libexec/sympa.
Any configuration in httpd.conf files etc will need to be updated to the
new directory.
Before upgrade, it is advisable to back up configuration files
${PREFIX}/etc/sympa.conf and wwsympa.conf since previous versions wipe these
out on deinstall.

AUTHOR: nikola.lecic@anthesphoria.net
KMFL keyboard ports are now shared between IBus and SCIM KMFL IMEngines
(textproc/ibus-kmfl and textproc/scim-kmfl-imengine). Thus, the prefix
'scim-' is dropped from keyboard ports names.
Similar to m17n, both engines now search engine-neutral locations,
${LOCALBASE}/share/kmfl/ and ~/.kmfl/. Users have to move their local
keyboard files from ~/.scim/kmfl/ to ~/.kmfl/.

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.14 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.12, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.14):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.14 -f perl-5.12.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.14 lang/perl5.12
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.

AFFECTS: users of net/skype, net/skype-devel, net-im/skype, net-im/skype-devel
AUTHOR: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@FreeBSD.org>
All skype ports were moved to net-im/:
- skype12: unchanged, very old version (for FreeBSD 6)
- skype20: last version with OSS support, that used to live in net/skype; the
DISTFILE is gone from the vendor but if you happen to have it, it would be a
way of having sound w/o needing to upgrade your base OS
- [RECOMMENDED] skype: currently at 2.1.0.81 and the best supported
- skype-devel: currently at 2.2.0.25, sounds is OK, video doesn't work
To run either skype or skype-devel with fully working sound you need:
- to run fc10 (most probably, please report what you can do with fc4):
(OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10,OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10
in /etc/make.conf for systems that doesn't have it as default)
- In order for Skype to work OK, you need your kernel and modules to be:
- post 2011-05-03 in on HEAD
- post 2011-05-08 in on 7,8-STABLE
The port tries to catch if your system version is too old, but there's a
~3months window where because of a lack of OSVERSION bump, this is not
possible. So please check; and PLEASE READ THE PKGMESSAGE for setup details.
For how to update your kernel/world, see:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
IF YOUR OSVERSION IS NOT NEW ENOUGH, SOUND (ESPECIALLY MIC) WON'T WORK.
If you run into problems, at very least we need to know the output of:
$ uname -a; sysctl compat.linux | head -2; \
grep OVERRIDE_LINUX_ /etc/make.conf; \
cat /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf
the skype version you are using and hardware details (eg. webcam, if related)
I most probably will ignore any mail not containing this info since without
it it's impossible to help.
Please test your sound /video setup outside skype before blaming skype /
mailing me.

AFFECTS: users of audio/musicpd
AUTHOR: Chris Rees <utisoft@gmail.com>
Musicpd now installs the binary for the server as bin/musicpd, rather than
mpd, to remove a conflict with net/mpich2; before upgrade you should run:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/musicpd stop
Likewise, mpd.conf has been renamed musicpd.conf-- if you want to keep it
as mpd.conf then place MPDCONF="mpd.conf" into /etc/make.conf, otherwise
after upgrade run:
# mv /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf /usr/local/etc/musicpd.conf

AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-client
AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org
OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.25. In this version, certain library
routines 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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<Macro[=Value]> 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).

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.

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

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.

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

# 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

After that you also need to take into account what chagne between
1.6 and 1.8

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".

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portmaster
AUTHOR: Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>
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 <timur@FreeBSD.org>
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.

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.

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

"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.

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

directory and disable the WERROR knob.
20100912:
AFFECTS: www/tdiary-devel, japanese/tdiary-devel

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

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

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,

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 cannot 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

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:

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

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.

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

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

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 KDE 4 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).

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
Qt 4) and multimedia/phonon* ports. Since KDE SC 4.4 now 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 Qt 4 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:

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'

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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\*) ...

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.

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

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 <ports@christianserving.org>
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 <tabmow@freenode.net>
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 <tdb@FreeBSD.org>
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 <jonc@chen.org.nz>
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 <decke@bluelife.at>
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 <lioux@FreeBSD.org>
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 <ale@FreeBSD.org>
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.

AFFECTS: users of archivers/lzmautils, archivers/lzmautils-devel
AUTHOR: Christian Weisgerber <naddy@FreeBSD.org>
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.

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.

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.

AFFECTS: users of astro/celestia and KDE
AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
Celestia can now be compiled with KDE 3 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

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/phonon*, x11/kdebase4*, deskutils/kdepim4
AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
KDE 4 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
KDE 4 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:

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

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

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.

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

$ 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

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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`

JSERVER case, for example, the server name is determined in the
following way:
$JSERVER --(if null)--> wnn-jserver --(if null)--> "unix"

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

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

AUTHOR: Jarrod Sayers <jarrod@netleader.com.au>
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

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 <fbsd@opal.com>
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 Qt 4 ports has been updated to 4.4.1. With this update several ports
specific problems have been fixed. Qt 4 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 <david@wood2.org.uk>
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 <glarkin@FreeBSD.org>
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 <edwin@mavetju.org>
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 <carpetsmoker@rwxrwxrwx.net>
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 <tmseck@web.de>
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 <beech@FreeBSD.org>
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 <brix@FreeBSD.org>
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 <brix@FreeBSD.org>
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 <gnome@FreeBSD.org>
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 <beech@FreeBSD.org>
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 <ale@FreeBSD.org>
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 <lev@FreeBSD.org>
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 <gnome@FreeBSD.org>
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 <jkim@FreeBSD.org>
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.

them into the new version.
20080624:
AFFECTS: users of irc/ircd-ratbox-devel
AUTHOR: Beech Rintoul <beech@FreeBSD.org>
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 <araujo@FreeBSD.org>
The mod_security port has been updated from 1.9.4 to 2.5.5. Branch 1.9.x

AFFECTS: users of www/opera and www/opera/devel
AUTHOR: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@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; 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].

you use this port.
20080616:
AFFECTS: users of mail/dkim-milter
AUTHOR: Hirohisa Yamaguchi <umq@ueo.co.jp>
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

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 <yasu@utahime.org>
The port (editors/emacs) is updated to 22.2 and some of Emacs Lisp

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 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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius
AUTHOR: David Wood <david@wood2.org.uk>
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.

Perforce has been updated to version 2007.3. Upgrading is fairly
straightforward, but it is still highly recommended to follow the
upgrading instructions in the release notes:

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.
