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. 20050630: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org Due to several complaints, new (unsupported) option had been added to port Makefile: WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT. Starting with version 7667, NVidia has dropped support for numerous "legacy" GPUs, while this option allows to go with previous version of driver (this does not apply to older versions of FreeBSD, since you have to use version 6113 of driver (if you did not yet upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 or later) which has support for those GPUs). If you must use WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option, be sure to ``hold'' the package by making appropriate entry in your pkgtools.conf, otherwise portupgrade(1) will upgrade your port to latest NVidia release on the next run, which is probably not what you want. Refer to x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile for further details. 20050624: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.7. You should update everything depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see its manual page for details. 20050622: AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd-* AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org ProFTPd binary moved from ${PREFIX}/libexec to ${PREFIX}/sbin. People using proftpd with inetd must use ${PREFIX}/sbin/in.proftpd (or ${PREFIX}/sbin/proftpd which is just the same). Read the commit log and diffs for more information. 20050621: AFFECTS: users of net/cacti AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org Because of users need to keep their DB configuration but config.php can't be saved on upgrating, I've moved DB settings in db-settings.php. So, you need to change db-settings.php and do not touch config.php anymore. 20050618: AFFECTS: users of alternate linux_base ports AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port. Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}). 20050610: AFFECTS: users of ftp/wget built with SSL (default) AUTHOR: sf@FreeBSD.org wget 1.10 now authenticates certificate of remote host before making a SSL connection. To make it work, you should have working CA root certificates list in /etc/ssl/cert.pem. If you don't have it there are options: a) install security/ca-roots port and you have done. b) install ftp/curl port and symlink it to /etc/ssl/cert.pem. ln -s /usr/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/cert.pem c) put your favorite one into certain place. 20050601: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Upgrading to 2005.1 is straightforward, but it is highly recommended to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.051/user/relnotes.txt 20050526: AFFECTS: users of mail/sylpheed-claws AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org Sylpheed-claws is updated to the GTK2 version now. This results in a new configuration directory. To keep your configuration from the GTK1 version you can cp -rp ~/.sylpheed .sylpheed-gtk2 before starting the GTK2 version for the first time, or cp -Rp ~/.sylpheed .sylpheed-gtk2/ when you have run the GTK2 version already. 20050524: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mpeg4ip and multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org Starting with version 1.3 mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installs libmp4av that mpeg4ip previously installed. It is advised to de-install mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and mpeg4ip before updating to mpeg4ip-1.3 or mpeg4ip-libmp4v2-1.3. If you have already updated mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and mpeg4ip you should deinstall mpeg4ip and reinstall mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 before updating mpeg4ip. This does not affect users who just have mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installed and not mpeg4ip. 20050523: AFFECTS: users of games/pvgdn AUTHOR: mek@mek.uz.ua The following has been changed in the bnetd.conf file (starting with version 1.7.7): - The old config variable `servername' has been renamed to `hostname'. - A new `servername' config variable has been introduced for server identification. 20050519: AFFECTS: users of www/squid AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de Starting with 2.5.10, the cachemgr.cgi program uses a configuration file cachemgr.conf to control which hosts this program is allowed to manage. To prevent abuse, the configuration defaults to "localhost" only. Please see cachemgr.cgi(8) for further details. 20050517: AFFECTS: users of www/mod_perl2 and all ports depending on it AUTHOR: lars.eggert@gmx.net. API changed for mod_perl2 - existing code will break! The mod_perl2 developers have significantly changed the API in release candidate 2.0.0-RC5. These changes include changed names for core packages, causing software that uses the old API to fail with the new version. You need to update your code as described in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html 20050517: AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird AUTHOR: freebsd@galle.com.br The port was split into a -server and -client parts. The -server contains server binary, UDFs, and install all in ${PREFIX}/firebird. The -client contains libs, includes, client binaries, docs and examples. For migration delete the firebird port and install the -server and/or -client port afterwards. 20050512: AFFECTS: users of devel/svk AUTHOR: rafan@infor.org Since SVK 0.30, it is fast enough and PPerl causes some problems. Thus, the SVK port no longer supports WITH_PPERL knob. If you still want to use PPerl with it, please go and read: http://svk.elixus.org/?SVKAndPPerl for details. 20050511: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg{,-devel} AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org The latest FreeBSD CVS snapshot has been committed under multimedia/ffmepg-devel. In order to build it, you need to deinstall any ffmpeg ports first. # pkg_deinstall multimedia/ffmpeg Futhermore, video capture is no longer working in the latest version. Work is been done to overcome this. 20050511: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|contrib) AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The PostgreSQL ports have been updated to latest versions. A security problem in the template database requires a simple SQL command to be run on each database. because these problems are really incorrect system catalog entries. Updating to a new release will NOT by itself solve the problems in an existing installation. See http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315 for details. 20050501: AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml based applications and libraries AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org With the recent update of ocaml to 3.08.3 some API compability has been broken. It is a bit subtle so that some users might not notice it. However, updating all ocaml based aplications and libraries are advised using the new compiler/interpreter version. Issue the following command: # portupgrade -rf 'ocaml*' 20050426: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-authlib AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org mail/courier-authlib has been moved to security/courier-authlib and is now only a meta-port. Installing the meta-port installs security/ courier-authlib-base and no, one or more sub-ports regarding to what authentification methods you've choosen. Courier-authlib-base only provides you athentification via PAM. All ports depending on courier- authlib (at the time of writing, courier-imap, sqwebmail and maildrop) giving you the same choice the meta-port provides you. 20050421: AFFECTS: users of www/opera-devel AUTHOR: avleeuwen@piwebs.com Opera 8.0 final has been released and can be installed by installing the www/opera port. The opera-devel port is now deprecated. If you want to continue using the personal settings you used with www/opera-devel, issue this command: # mv ~/.opera-devel ~/.opera 20050421: AFFECTS: users of www/opera AUTHOR: avleeuwen@piwebs.com Opera has been updated to 8.0. If are upgrading from version 7.x or below, it is recommend that you backup your personal "~/.opera" directory and remove it, like this: # cp -Rp ~/.opera ~/.opera-bak # rm -rf ~/.opera/* After that, you can put your bookmarks, email, contacts, etc. back in ~/.opera/. The most important files are your bookmarks (~/.opera/opera6.adr) and your emails (~/.opera/mail). It is not a good idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini, pluginpath.ini and other non-personal stuff back in ~/.opera/. If you need custom settings, reconfigure Opera from the preferences pane or edit the files by hand. 20050420: AFFECTS: users of www/ipython AUTHOR: dryice@liu.com.cn This is backward-incompatible changes for pysh. 1. You must update your pysh profile (~/.ipython/ipythonrc-pysh): a) Add to it the line: import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec b) Delete the line execfile pysh.py 2. You must also delete from ~/.ipython/ the file pysh.py. 20050419: AFFECTS: users of linux-opera AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org Opera has been updated to 8.0. If you are upgrade from version 7.x or below, it is recommend for you to backup your personal "~/.linux-opera" directory and remove it. It can be done following from the command line: # cp -Rp ~/.linux-opera ~/.linux-opera-bak # rm -rf ~/.linux-opera/* After that, you can put your bookmark, email, contacts and etc back in ~/.linux-opera/. The bookmark is ~/.linux-opera/opera6.adr and the email is ~/.linux-opera/mail as you can figure out by view in ~/.linux-opera/. It is probably not good idea to put opera6.ini, userstyle.ini, search.ini, pluginpath.ini and other non-personal stuff back in ~/.linux-opera/. The non-personal stuff should be re-configure on new stuff by either Opera preferences in GUI or hand (manual) in your editor. 20050415: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/cricket AUTHOR: ijliao@FreeBSD.org As of 2004/11/09 cricket uses a separate user "wwwadm". If you upgrade your installtion, make sure you chown your existing data. 20050414: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The PostgreSQL ports are updated to 8.0.2. All shared libraries' versions have been bumped, so you will need to recompile all client applications that depend on libpq.so. The recommended way to upgrade from 8.0.x would be something like portupgrade -rf postgresql-client 20050413: AFFECTS: users of mail/spamd AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org spamd now installs a rcNG script for starting the OpenBSD pf spamd daemon. To enable that at boot time, add the following into /etc/rc.conf[.local]: pfspamd_enable="YES" 20050413 AFFECTS: users of www/quixote AUTHOR: dryice@liu.com.cn There are backward-incompatible changes upgrading from 1.2 to 2.0. Including renaming quixote.form to quixote.form1 and quixote.form2 to quixote.form. Please refer to upgrading.txt in the docs dir for detail. 20050411: AFFECTS: users of x11/gdm AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org GDM now installs a rcNG script for starting the gdm daemon. To enable that gdm starts a boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf: gdm_enable="YES" 20050406: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql50-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default: /var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable. In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency. 20050403: AFFECTS: users of net/tac_plus4 AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Tac_plus4 now installs an rcNG script for starting the tac_plus daemon. To enable tac_plus to start at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf: tac_plus_enable="YES" You can also pass flags to tac_plus by setting the rc.conf variable tac_plus_flags. The default flags are "-C ${PREFIX}/etc/tac_plus.conf". Additionally, the default version of IOS for tac_plus has been changed from 11.x to 12.x. 20050324: AFFECTS: users of net/mDNSResponder AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org In mDNSResponder 98_1, mdnsd is no longer started by default due to a switch to an rc.subr startup script. To start it, you must add add mdnsd_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf or other suitable configuration file. 20050320: AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3, x11-themes/kdeartwork3, www/akregator, x11-themes/phase, multimedia/kdemultimedia3 AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org In KDE 3.4, a number of files were moved between ports, some ports were added, one port has been removed and some applictions formerly available in their own ports were incorporated into KDE. This means that you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work. Portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic behaviour and crashes from applications launched until you log out and back in. 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdeartwork-\[0-9\]\* kdebase-\[0-9\]\* \ kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-\[0-9\]\* kdewebdev-\[0-9\]\* \ kde-\[0-9\]\* akregator\* phase\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdebase kdeartwork kdewebdev Changes in detail: - www/akregator is now included into deskutils/kdepim3. - x11-themes/phase is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3. - www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated into x11/kdebase3. - Juk has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now available as audio/juk. - Akode has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now available as audio/akode and audio/akode-plugins-*. Akode is also a default dependency of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 now. - audio/mpeglib_artsplug has been demoted to legacy status and is no longer the default decoder backend for kdemultimedia3. It's also not depended on by kdemultimedia3 by default anymore. Known post-updating issues: - If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update: rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc Then log out of KDE and back in again (also see http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.php#q16). - kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc. You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations by running (as root or with sudo) genkdmconf Make sure to backup your old kdm configuration (usually found in /usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an invalid configuration. Especially note that kdm does not use the Xservers file anymore. A genkdmconf run will merge its contents into kdmrc. Extensive information about changes and new features of KDE 3.4 can be found at http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.4-features.html. Bugs can be reported at http://bugs.kde.org. 20050320: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portsnap AUTHOR: cperciva@FreeBSD.org As a result of shifting from SHA-1 to SHA-256, the structure of portsnap's configuration file and compressed snapshot have both changed. After upgrading to portsnap 0.9, you will have to update your configuration file ($PREFIX/etc/portsnap.conf) and delete your existing portsnap compressed snapshot: # cd /usr/local/etc && cp portsnap.conf.sample portsnap.conf # rm -r /usr/local/portsnap/* In addition, be aware that the next runs of "portsnap fetch" and "portsnap update" will take far longer than usual, since they will need to download and extract a complete copy of the ports tree. 20050319: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7[34]-server AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The startup script has been merged from 8.0 to 7.3 and 7.4. Hence, to start the PostgreSQL server at boot time (regardless of version), add the following to /etc/rc.conf: postgresql_enable=yes 20050318: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/blackbox, boxtools, bbkeys and bbpager AUTHOR: A.J.Caines@halplant.com The new blackbox ports include several changes to use and configuration. Please read the pkg-message files in the respective ports for details. 20050315: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql323-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf. The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default: /var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable. See the script for details. 20050314: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql40-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default: /var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable. In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency. 20050313: AFFECTS: users of games/netpanzerdata, games/netpanzer AUTHOR: mad@madpilot.net The netpanzerdata port has changed it's name to netpanzer-data, so before installing the new one you will need to remove the old netpanzerdata-0.1.3 port. 20050312: AFFECTS: all users who have glib/gtk/gnome libraries installed AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org and the FreeBSD gnome team Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6. DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade will cause problems and you will have to manually upgrade ports. Please use the gnome_upgrade.sh script from http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh 20050309: AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop AUTHOR: sergei@FreeBSD.org maildrop has been recently upgraded to 1.8.0. This version has the following changes: - Maildir quota is now enabled by default. The following options were deleted: - WITH_MAILDIRQUOTA - WITH_TRASHQUOTA - New option WITH_AUTHLIB is added, which provides optional support for Courier Auth Library (mail/courier-authlib port). - Userdb authentication, LDAP and MySQL support are provided through courier-authlib now, thus the following options - WITH_USERDB - WITH_LDAP - WITH_MYSQL have been superceded by WITH_AUTHLIB. 20050306: AFFECTS: users of math/ploticus AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org ploticus is now installed as bin/ploticus rather than bin/pl to avoid useless conflicts with other ports. 20050303: AFFECTS: users of net/i2p AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org The newest i2p version 0.5.0.1 is incompatible with all previous versions. Follow these procedures if you are updating from a previous port version. You can ignore these if you are installing i2p for the first time. 1) Update i2p port to the new one 2) Use the i2prouter script to uninstall i2p from user account. You are going to lose all your configuration. $ i2prouter uninstall 3) Install the new i2p version $ i2prouter install 20050301: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ganglia-monitor-core AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org With the move to Ganglia 3.0.0, the configuration file for gmond has changed completely. The -r or --convert options may be used to emit a file in the new format given one in the old. Startup is now controlled by an RC_SUBR script so the gmond_enable and gmetad_enable variables will need to be set for gmond and gmetad to be started. Existing gmond.sh and gmetad.sh scripts in PREFIX/etc/rc.d should be removed. Due to a bug in ganglia's build process, the previous version may need to be removed before ganglia can be upgraded. 20050224: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby18 and any apps that depend on ruby18 AUTHOR: mezz@FreeBSD.org The theads support has been disabled again. It causes the more trouble, so it now builds with ${PTHREAD_CFLAGS} and ${PTHREAD_LIBS}. It is recommend you to rebuild any apps that depend on lang/ruby18. Do something like this: portupgrade -rf ruby-1.8.2\* 20050224: AFFECTS: users of www/apache21 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org When upgrading from 2.1.2, you need to rebuild all apache modules. 20050215: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql41-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The base database directory can now be set and changed in rc.conf (default: /var/db/mysql). If you used to set DB_DIR to a different value during port compilation, you must specify it via the new "mysql_dbdir" rc variable. In addition, the "mysqllimits_enable" and "mysqllimits_args" variables have been replaced by "mysql_limits" for consistency. 20050214: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/nagios AUTHOR: blaz@si.FreeBSD.org Nagios has been upgraded to 2.0.b2. Native support for storing various types of data (status, retention, comment, downtime, etc.) in MySQL and PostgreSQL has been dropped. There are also multiple changes to the format of configuration files. Carefully read http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html before upgrading. 20050213: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX-* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org print/teTeX-* are now based on teTeX 3.0. Although some reliability fixes are also added, here are several common problems which you might fall on. 1) $PREFIX/bin/pdftex is missing: Probably your system has old files included teTeX 2.x which can prevent the new version from working. Please remove the old files first (see 20050206 in this file) and reinstall. 2) Some formats are still corrupted (for example, "Fatal format file error; I'm stymied" is displayed) or not updated even after a clean install: You might have old or corrupted *.fmt and/or *.map files under /root/.texmf-* or $HOME/.texmf-* directories. Typically these directories are generated when you invoke the updmap(1), texconfig(1), or fmtutil(1) utility manually. However, for a period after the first revision of the teTeX-base port erroneously used fmtutil(1) to regenerate *.fmt files, you could have these directories without your intent. In such a case, please remove these directories and reinstall the ports (it is not needed to rebuild ports/packages). Just for your information, $HOME/.texmf-config and $HOME/.texmf-var can be used for your personal configuration. If you have other problems, please contact hrs@FreeBSD.org. 20050212: AFFECTS: users of x11-fonts/mkbold, mkitalic and mkbold-mkitalic AUTHOR: koma2@ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp The dependency on x11-fonts/mkbold and x11-fonts/mkitalic has been switched over to x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, which is written in C and has far better performance than the old ones. There is no functional difference between the two, but they will conflict with each other. Since other ports which depend on x11-fonts/mkbold or x11-fonts/mkitalic will be updated to depend on x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, you might get an error during upgrading such ports. In such a case, please pkg_delete the old ones first. 20050206: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX and japanese/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org print/teTeX is now based on a teTeX 3.0 release candidate (2.99.13.20050204) and the other related ports are also updated. Since upgrading from previous versions should be done at a time, you may want to use the portupgrade utility or reinstall print/teTeX after deinstalling all of the related ports. If your teTeX environment became broken during the upgrade, please see the following URL which explains how to fix it. http://people.freebsd.org/~hrs/tetex-upgrade.txt This file also includes notes for people who are familiar with the teTeX distribution to explain structure of the ports. 20050205: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby16_r, lang/ruby18_r and lang/ruby18 AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been dropped and lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been removed, since no one seems to appreciate the partially working solution. Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled by default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is linked with libpthread. This will allow threaded extension libraries to run and work properly on those systems. 20050201: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5 has been updated to 5.6.2, and lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.6. you should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl installation (use either lang/perl5 or lang/perl5.8, the latter being recommended); * for FreeBSD 4.X, run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.6 or 5.6.2; this step is not needed on FreeBSD 5.X and FreeBSD -CURRENT; * run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like : portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5\* |tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.[68].[1245] -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards by hand. 20050130: AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org Each of the PostgreSQL ports have been split into a server and a client part. Please use postgresqlNN-server and/or postgresqlNN-client as needed. Versions currently supported are 7.3, 7.4 and 8.0. To start the PostgreSQL server at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf: postgresql_enable=yes The maintainance script is installed in etc/periodic/daily, and is controlled by a set of new knobs in periodic.conf. Use it for vacuuming your databases and get daily backups. Note that daily vacuuming is on by default. See the script for details. 20050130: AFFECTS: users of net/howl AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Howl now installs an rcNG script for starting mDNSResponder. To enable mDNSResponder to start at boot time, add the following to /etc/rc.conf: mdnsresponder_enable="YES" You can also pass flags to mDNSResponder by setting the rc.conf variable mdnsresponder_flags to the appropriate value. See the mDNSResponder(8) man page for the list of supported flags. The default is not to pass any flags to mDNSResponder. 20050126: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4 AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org If you use Xorg 6.8.1: Make shure there is an /tmp/.ICE-unix with propper rights. For further informations about that, please refer to 20041229 Please update all your plugins as well when you update from 4.0.6 to 4.2 They all need recompiling to link against the new xfce libraries 20050122: AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL AUTHOR: seanc@FreeBSD.org The -devel port has been updated to contain 8.0 release since postgresql80-server can not be updated until 4.11 is released and the changes in PR ports/75344 are committed. Users who need 8.0 now can use the -devel port, however, once postgresql80-server has been committed, -devel will begin tracking 8.1. Please be smart about tracking ports and if used in production, update to databases/postgresql80-server as soon as it becomes available. No dump/reload will be required when changing from -devel to postgresql80-server. 20050117: AFFECTS: users of mail/spambnc AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org The SpamBouncer has been upgraded from version 1.9 to 2.0-RC3, and you have to modify your ~/.procmailrc files. Please read upgrading.html in /usr/local/share/doc/spambnc. 20050117: AFFECTS: users of astk-client AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org ASTK has been moved; if there exists files $HOME/.astkrc/config_serveurs, you have to update the entry rep_serv from /usr/local/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/bin to /usr/local/aster/ASTK/ASTK_SERV/bin (or you can remove $HOME/.astkrc). 20050114: AFFECTS: users of security/libgnomesu, esp. on FreeBSD 4.x. AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org If you installed libgnomesu the day it was added to the ports tree, you have a malformed PAM control file in /etc/pam.d/. All libgnomesu users should remove /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam, and 5.x users should replace it with the version in the updated libgnomesu port (ensure that you're using the most current revision of the libgnomesu port). 4.x users: listen up! The presence of the /etc/pam.d/ directory (and anything in that directory) presents a Very Bad Thing. Unless you've manually tweaked your PAM settings, you must run: # rm /etc/pam.d/gnomesu-pam # rmdir /etc/pam.d/ or all users will be locked out of your system! 20050110: AFFECTS: users of irc/iip AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org iip has been updated to the new network servers. Therefore, both old configuration files and node reference keys no longer apply. Therefore, you need to update the configuration files for each user running the iip isproxy daemon: 1) Backup configuration files cp ~/.iip/isproxy.ini ~/.iip/isproxy.ini.backup cp ~/.iip/node.ref ~/.iip/node.ref.backup 2) Remove configuration files rm ~/.iip/isproxy.ini rm ~/.iip/node.ref 3) Create new configuration. Fill information as requested. This creates the updated isproxy.ini file isproxy -C 4) Start iip isproxy. This will initialize your updated node.ref file. This file will be automatically updated when you connect to the iip network isproxy 20050110: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nautilus-cd-burner AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org Nautilus-cd-burner now requires cdrtools built with UTF-8 encoding support. The default sysutils/cdrtools port does not support this encoding, and that will cause nautilus-cd-burner to enter an infinite loop when trying to create CD images. To workaround this, the cdrtools dependency was changed in nautilus-cd-burner to point to the sysutils/cdrtools-cjk port instead. Since sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-cjk conflict, you must uninstall cdrtools so that the nautilus-cd-burner update can properly pull in cdrtools-cjk. 20050108: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap, mail/sqwebmail AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org Courier-imap and sqwebmail are now dependent on courier-authlib. If you've changed the default authentication config for courier-imap or sqwebmail, you will have to redo the changes for courier-authlib. You may wish to deinstall courier-imap and/or sqwebmail before you install courier-authlib. Since courier-authlib replaces parts of both ports, some of courier-authlib's files are listed as sqwebmail and courier-imap files and deinstalling old courier-imap and/or sqwebmail port may cause the deinstallation of the freshly installed courier-authlib files. 20050108: AFFECTS: users of mail/sqwebmail AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org Sqwebmail now installs it's files directly under PREFIX. That means for instance that files that were formerly found under PREFIX/share/sqwebmail/etc/ are now located under PREFIX/etc/sqwebmail. Furthermore you need to set sqwebmaild_enable=YES in your rc.conf because the rc.d script has been migrated to use the rc.subr Subsystem 20050108: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org The variable courier_imap_imapdssl_enable have been renamed to courier_imap_imapd_ssl_enable. The variable courier_imap_pop3dssl_enable have been renamed to courier_imap_pop3d_ssl_enable. userdb stuff is now located in LOCALBASE/etc/authlib instead of LOCALBASE/etc. 20041231: AFFECTS: users of www/awstats AUTHOR: webmaster@lightningfire.net Location of awstats changed from /usr/local/www to /usr/local/www/awstats. Please update configuration according instructions in pkg-message. 20041231: AFFECTS: users of the linux compatibility environment AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The default linux_base was changed from v7 to v8. You need to update from v7 to v8 and rebuild every linux port. To update run: portupgrade -rf -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base In case you already use linux_base-8 you have to run: portupgrade -rf emulators/linux_base-8 20041229: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3, x11-servers/xorg-server AUTHOR: lofi@freebsd.org If KDE does not start anymore after upgrading Xorg to version 6.8.1 (X restarts when the KDE splash screen has reached the third icon), please check whether the directory /tmp/.ICE-unix exists, is owned by root and has permissions 1777 (read/write/access for everybody + sticky bit). To make sure everything is in working order, do (as root): mkdir -p /tmp/.ICE-unix && chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix && chown root:wheel /tmp/.ICE-unix Also, make sure you do NOT have clear_tmp_enable="YES" set in /etc/rc.conf, as it will remove the directory on every reboot and applications will re- create it with the wrong ownership. Users of daily_clean_tmps_enable in /etc/periodic.conf should make sure daily_clean_tmps_ignore contains /tmp/.ICE-unix. 20041227: AFFECTS: users of lang/gambas AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org As of this update, the password of your databases connections are crypted. If you were using the database manager, please remove ~/.gambas/gambas-database-manager.conf before launching the new version. 20041226: AFFECTS: users of Horde and the related ports (Turba, IMP, Nag, Kronolith, Mnemo, Chora) AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org As of this update, the configuration files are generated by the application, with no support for configuration files used in previous versions. All data saved in the database, LDAP or MCAL backends will be preserved, considering that you run specific scripts to migrate to this new scheme. Affected ports are www/horde, mail/turba, deskutils/nag, deskutils/kronolith, and deskutils/mnemo. See the UPGRADING documentation of the ports in question for more details. The filter system of IMP 3.x has been replaced by a separate application: check the port mail/ingo. Ingo provides a script to migrate the existing filter rules from IMP 3.x, see Ingo's documentation. 20041224: AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server and graphics/dri AUTHOR: lesi@FreeBSD.org As of version 4.4.0_6, XFree86-4-Server now depends on graphics/xfree86-dri. This is due to incompatibilities between XFree86 and the new xorg 6.8.1 DRI. Users of XFree86-4-Server are strongly encouraged to switch to the xfree86-dri port as follows: portupgrade -fo graphics/xfree86-dri graphics/dri which will also fix dependencies. 20041224: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade and lang/ruby18 AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org Please upgrade sysutils/portupgrade prior to lang/ruby18, or pkgdb(1) may coredump with a double free() problem from a misuse (or a "feature") of the DL module. In that case, you can reinstall sysutils/portupgrade manually. 20041222: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav, security/clamav-devel AUTHOR: jylefort@brutele.be The ClamAV database path has changed from /usr/local/share/clamav to /var/db/clamav. You should update the DatabaseDirectory keyword in /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf and /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf. 20041221 AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme03 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org security/gpgme03 has been modified to not conflicts with gpgme 1.x After upgrade, you need to rebuild all ports that depend on it. You should upgrade security/gpgme (if installed) to avoid nasty compile time failures, due to original location of gpgme.h. 20041219: AFFECTS: users of textproc/jdictionary AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The location for JDictionary port installed files has changed. This also affects the various plugins. Hence, users should upgrade all jdictionary related ports at once to avoid inconsistencies: $ portupgrade jdictionary\* 20041214: AFFECTS: users of net/freenet6 AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org The FreeNet6 Service must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf: freenet6_enable="YES" 20041213: AFFECTS: users of security/cryptplug, deskutils/kdepim3 AUTHOR: lofi@freebsd.org The cryptplug port is not compatible with recent versions of gpgme and has been changed to depend on gpgme03 (the last version of gpg- me compatible with cryptplug). Users who have been using cryptplug in order to enable PGP/MIME support in KMail should DEINSTALL BOTH cryptplug and gpgme03 before updating KDE to version 3.3.2. Cryptplug is NOT necessary anymore to enable PGP/MIME support in KMail and will cause the kdepim3 build to fail due to conflicting dependencies. 20041213: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-relay AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org The PostgreSQL Relay must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf: postgresqlrelay_enable="YES" 20041212: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula AUTHOR: lkoeller@FreeBSD.org The port was split into a -server and -client component. The -server part contains the storage and director daemon, the -client part the console, file daemon and the documentation. For migration delete the bacula port and install the -server and/or -client port afterwards. 20041208: AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org There is a known quirk when using mail/getmail with Python 2.4 where the DeprecationWarning is printed regarding the use of the 'strict' keyword when a message is being retrieved. You can redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null to quelch the warning. The quirk may be fixed in a future version of getmail. 20041205: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org multimedia/ffmpeg will not work if previous versions of the port are installed. Also, there is a shared library version bump on this update. Therefore: 1) Remove old ffmpeg pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/ffmpeg* 2) Install updated ffmpeg 3) Rebuild all ports that depend on ffmpeg due to the shared library version bump cd /var/db/pkg && portupgrade -rf ffmpeg* -x ffmpeg* 20041202: AFFECTS: users of any ports which have dependency on lang/python AUTHOR: perky@FreeBSD.org After upgrading of lang/python, you must rebuild all its consumer ports to make them get ready to Python 2.4. To do this, you will need to: pkgdb -uf && cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages 20041128: AFFECTS: users of mail/dspam and mail/dspam-devel AUTHOR: itetcu@people.tecnik93.com When upgrading from previous version, read mail/dspam/files/UPDATING and adjust your options. 20041121: AFFECTS: users of news/rawdog AUTHOR: tim@bishnet.net Rawdog 2.x changes the format of the state file used in 1.x. To upgrade from 1.x to 2.x the rawdog author recommends the following: cp -R ~/.rawdog ~/.rawdog-old rm ~/.rawdog/state rawdog -u rawdog --upgrade ~/.rawdog-old ~/.rawdog rawdog -w Once you're happy with the new version: rm -r ~/.rawdog-old 20041118: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: lofi@freebsd.org portsdb(1) is part of the portupgrade suite and is used to convert a ports INDEX file to a binary INDEX.db database. By default, it uses the libc-builtin berkeley db to do so, which has a buggy btree implementation. If you see errors like "[BUG] Segmentation fault" while a portsdb update is in progress, adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment or in pkgtools.conf) to either bdb1_hash or dbm_hash. This problem was fixed in 5.3-RELEASE, but users of 4.10-RELEASE and 5.2.1-RELEASE (and older releases) will find fixes by updating to the latest (at least after Sep 20) of RELENG_4 or RELENG_5. 20041116: AFFECTS: users of www/bricolage AUTHOR: ports@rbt.ca Bricolage may now be run on mod_perl compiled as a DSO for Apache when following these guidelines: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#When_DSO_can_be_Used To do this, you will need to: pkg_delete -f apache-mod_perl pkg_delete -f p5-libapreq-static portupgrade -rR bricolage Bricolage will rebuild mod_perl, apache and libapreq using their standard versions. 20041115: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org Due to the recent removal of INDEX and INDEX-5 from FreeBSD's CVS, portupgrade with default configuration will run 'make index' if started after cvsup'ing the ports-collection. This may take an undesirably long time. There are several ways to work around this, for example: - Run 'make fetchindex' after cvsup'ing ports. or - Adjust the PORTS_INDEX variable in your environment or in pkgtools.conf (see portupgrade(1) or the default pkgtools.conf) to a different value than the default. Also remember that 'make index' is only supported on _complete_ ports-trees. If you are currently refusing whole categories by means of a cvsup refuse file, use 'make fetchindex' instead (or consider keeping an extra machine/jail with a complete ports-tree around to do INDEX builds on). 20041111: AFFECTS: users of audio/faad, multimedia/mpeg4ip AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org mpeg4ip has been updated and broken down into 2 separate ports: mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2. Furthermore, mpeg4ip now depends on faad. Moreover, faad now depends on mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 rather than on mpeg4ip which avoids a cyclic dependency (mpeg4ip depends on faad which depends on mpeg4ip). If any of the old ports are installed, mpeg4ip will not compile. Therefore, 1) Remove old faad and mpeg4ip ports which conflict with new mpeg4ip pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/mpeg4ip* pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/faad* 2) Install faad, mpeg4ip and mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 in the following order cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 && make install clean cd /usr/ports/audio/faad && make install clean cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip && make install clean 20041111: AFFECTS: users of java AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org javavmwrapper has been rewritten. It now creates symbolic links for all executables of the Java VMs that have been registered with it. These symbolic links may impact which version of Java you are using, depending on your PATH, which may need to be adjusted. For example, if your path is: ${LOCALBASE}/bin:${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin then previously "java" would resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java. With the new javavmwrapper it will resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java. Depending upon the Java VMs that are registered and various environment variables, it may or may not be ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java that is run by javavmwrapper via the symbolic link ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java. 20041107: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org To use GMail in konqueror, you need to set the browser identification for gmail.google.com to 'Safari 1.2.3 on Mac OS X', otherwise you will not be able to click on any links in GMail after logging in. You can set site-specific browser identifications via the Settings menu in Konqueror (Configure Konqueror/Browser Identification) or in the KDE Control Center, Internet & Network/Web Browser/Browser Identification. 20041107: AFFECTS: all users who have any GNOME libraries installed AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org and the rest of the FreeBSD/GNOME crew Hey, 2.6! You don't have to be 2.6 anymore! Do NOT use portupgrade(1) to update your GNOME 2.6 desktop to 2.8: it won't work, and you'll have to recompile bunches of ports by hand as a result. Use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to automate the upgrade process. The script is available from http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh 20041104: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav-devel AUTHOR: rob@debank.tv The configuration file was renamed from clamav.conf to clamd.conf, make sure to move your configuration before restarting the server. 20041104: AFFECTS: users of japanese/rskkserv AUTHOR: rushani@FreeBSD.org The format of PREFIX/etc/rskkserv.conf has changed in version 2.95. Please update your configuration file before restarting the server using PREFIX/share/examples/rskkserv/conf-o2n.rb and referring to PREFIX/share/examples/rskkserv/rskkserv.conf.sample. 20041031: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql40-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20041028: AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Please note that the handling of the default type/creator has changed with 2.0.1. As a side effect, users upgrading from earlier versions, including 2.0.0, will have to remove the default type/creator from the AppleVolumes.System file. The install process will not modify this file automatically. Please remove the line starting with '. "????"' manually. This text was taken from the Netatalk 2.0.1 release notes at https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=278320. 20041027: AFFECTS: users of games/pcgen AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The launcher script for PCGen has been renamed to 'pcgen' (formerly 'pcgen.sh'). 20041024: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql50-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20041024: AFFECTS: users of mail/popfile AUTHOR: matusita@FreeBSD.org Since there is a known problem that popfile doesn't work with DBD::SQLite 1.x at this time, you'll be in trouble after upgrading databases/p5-DBD-SQLite to the latest one. A workaround is commited to 0.22.0_1 which uses databases/p5-DBD-SQLite2 by default. However, if already installed popfile, please check ${HOME}/.popfile/popfile.cfg, and change the line "bayes_dbconnect dbi:SQLite:dbname=$dbname" to "bayes_dbconnect dbi:SQLite2:dbname=$dbname" then restart popfile. 20041023: AFFECTS: users of mail/dbmail AUTHOR: seanc@FreeBSD.org When upgrading from 1.X to 2.X, read the upgrading instructions. The structure of the database has changed, please use the migration scripts provided. Many of the programs have been renamed and arguments have been changed as well. 20041020: AFFECTS: users of security/antivir-milter AUTHOR: marius@FreeBSD.org When updating from previous versions of security/antivir-milter to antivir-milter-1.1 and you had changed PREFIX/etc/avmilter.conf you have to bring over your changes to PREFIX/etc/avmilter/avmilter.conf after installing the new version of this port. Note, however, that some variables have been renamed. If you used AntiVir Milter ignore, scan and/or warn files in /etc you can now move them to PREFIX/etc/avmilter. 20041019: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql41-server AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20041018: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-imap AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org The courier-imap port must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20041015 AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 with devel/apr AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS knob is no longer supported, since apr > 1.0 doesn't conflict with apache2's one. If you use apr 0.9.x you won't be able to upgrade apache2 anymore. 20041014: AFFECTS: users of security/clamav AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The configruration file for the clamd daemon has changed from /usr/local/etc/clamav.conf to /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf. 20041013: AFFECTS: users of mail/getmail AUTHOR: question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org If you are using a version of mail/getmail earlier than 4.x and are planning to upgrade to 4.2.2, please note that the configuration file syntax has changed and the existing configuration file(s) will not work. Please refer to the online documentation available at: (http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail-4/documentation.html) If you already upgraded to the latest version of getmail, you can refer to the installed documentation under: ${PREFIX}/share/docs/getmail The 4.x branch of getmail also requires Python 2.3.3 or newer. Some mail delivery agents require that the unixfrom parameter to be set to either "true" or "false" in the configuration file. A "quick and dirty" guide on setting up, configuring and using getmail is available at: (http://www.qnd-guides.org/qnd-getmail.html) 20041012: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: marshall@chezmarshall.com Upgrading from 2003.2 to 2004.2 is straightforward, it is highly recommended to checkpoint and backup your server as follows: p4 verify //... p4 verify -u //... # possibly redundant p4 admin checkpoint p4 admin stop If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 2003.2, you should consult the Perforce documentation (http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technical.html) before proceeding. Also, it looks as though Perforce has stopped updating the man pages, so they are no longer included in the port. 20041012: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox AUTHOR: freebsd-gnome@FreeBSD.org After upgrading to firefox-1.0.1.p, certain things such as extension/theme [de]installation, and "Find On Page" may no longer work. You may also notice an infinite loop when starting Firefox. If this happens, backup ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/bookmarks.html, and remove ~/.mozilla/firefox. Afterward, Firefox should start up. You can then restore the bookmarks.html file to the new ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default directory. 20041012: AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Netatalk has been upgraded to 2.0.0. There are some important instructions for upgrading from 1.6.x. Please see http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/2.0/htmldocs/upgrade.html on how to make the transition. 20041011: AFFECTS: users of www/linuxpluginwrapper who are running FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or later (including -current) AUTHOR: nork@freebsd.org According to UPDATING(20041001), /etc/libmap.conf should be fixed libm.so.2 to libm.so.3. 20041001: AFFECTS: users of ports that require several base system libraries who are running FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or later (including -current) AUTHOR: kensmith@freebsd.org As part of the FreeBSD-5.3 release the following system libraries had their version number incremented: /lib/libm.so.2 -> libm.so.3 /lib/libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.5 /usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 -> libhistory.so.5 /usr/lib/libopie.so.2 -> libopie.so.3 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.2 -> libpcap.so.3 This should have no effect unless you are using FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 or higher, or if you are a -current user who upgraded after this date. Assuming you did a from-source upgrade new versions of these libraries will be created but the old versions will be left behind (for example /lib/libm.so.2 will be the old one, /lib/libm.so.3 will be the new one). Any ports or pre-built packages you have currently installed will continue to use the old library, any ports you install after the upgrade will begin to use the new library. You will need to have all your ports recompiled before the old library goes away. To help with the migration you could also use /etc/libmap.conf to map libm.so.2 to libm.so.3. 20040903: AFFECTS: users of net/kdenetwork3 AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org The lanbrowsing facility of KDE has been removed from the main kdenetwork3 port and is now available via the net/lanbrowsing port. 20040901: AFFECTS: users of www/squid AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de www/squid now installs an rcNG script by default. This means you need to explicitly enable squid by setting squid_enable=yes in /etc/rc.conf. The squid.sh script uses the following variables: squid_chdir squid_flags squid_user Please see the squid.sh script for further details. If you want to install an old style rc-script, build the port with "WITHOUT_SQUID_RCNG=YES" or by rerunning "make config" and disabling this option. 20040830: AFFECTS: users of x11/kde3, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org In KDE 3.3, a number of files were moved between ports and some ports were removed. This means that you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work. portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic behaviour and crashes from applications launched during the update. 1.) First, make sure your ports index is up to date. cd /usr/ports && make index or, if you're using the sysutils/portindex port portindex 2.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdeaddons-kontact-plugins-\* \ kdeaddons-kaddressbook-plugins-\* kdepim-\* kdeutils-\* \ kdeaddons-\[0-9\]\* kde-\[0-9\]\* kdegraphics now conflicts with the kolourpaint package and kdeedu now conflicts with the kwordquiz package. If you have kwordquiz and/or kolourpaint installed on your system and you want to use the kdegraphics/ kdeedu ports, you should first deinstall the conflicting packages: pkg_deinstall -f kolourpaint\* kwordquiz\* 3.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade arts\* kde\* quanta\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a Note that the quanta port has been renamed to kdewebdev. The commands above will automatically replace quanta with kdewebdev, if you have quanta installed. 4.) Reinstall any KDE ports you deleted in step 2. Note that the kdeaddons- kontact-plugins (net/kontact-plugins), kdepim-kpilot (palm/kpilot) and quanta (www/quanta) ports/packages do not exist anymore and cannot be reinstalled. Known post-updating issues: - If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update: rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc Then log out of KDE and back in again. - KMail has been heavily modified since KDE 3.2.x. Testing shows that KMail can display erratic behaviour and crashes after the update. If you see any such behaviour, it is recommended to simply close KMail and start it again until it resumes normal operation. The integration of GnuPG and KMail for signing, encrypting and verifying PGP/MIME mail has also changed. A quick howto is available at http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php. - kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc. You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations by running genkdmconf Make sure to backup your old kdmrc (usually found in /usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an invalid configuration. - Extensive information about changes from KDE 3.2.x can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_2_3to3_3.php 20040829: AFFECTS: users of mail/mutt-devel AUTHOR: udo.schweigert@siemens.com The defaults of the port have been changed from WITH_MUTT_NCURSES to WITH_MUTT_SLANG to be in sync with the mail/mutt port. If you really have problems with slang (which should be a very rare case) be sure to have set COLORTERM=yes and COLORFGBG="color1;color2" in your environment, or recompile the port with the WITH_MUTT_NCURSES knob set (e.g. by adding WITH_MUTT_NCURSES=yes to your /etc/make.conf). 20040828: AFFECTS: users of security/samba-vscan AUTHOR: jmelo@freebsdbrasil.com.br The default location of the configuration files has been changed from /etc/ to /usr/local/etc and from /etc/samba/ to /usr/local/etc/samba-vscan/; the default location of the data files has been changed from /var/run/clamd to /var/run/clamav/clamd and from /var/opt/f-secure/fsav/databases to /var/db/fsav/databases. 20040820: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-tetex, japanese/xdvik, and japanese/dvipsk AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org japanese/ptex-tetex, japanese/xdvik, and japanese/dvipsk now look for the texmf.cnf file in $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf first, while some utilities included in the original teTeX distribution such as kpsepath(1) look for the file in $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf first. This is for separating the pTeX's texmf.cnf and the original TeX's texmf.cnf, and you do not have to copy or link the file $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf to $TEXMF/web2c/. To lookup pTeX path by using kpsepath(1) and so on, please set TEXMFCNF environment variable as described in $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf. For more detail, see $TEXMF/web2c-ptex/texmf.cnf and $TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf. 20040820: AFFECTS: users of japanese/platex209-* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org japanese/platex209-* are renamed to japanese/platex209 and now depend on japanese/ptex-tetex. While EUC-JP and JIS encoding can be used by default, but Shift JIS is no longer supported because it makes very difficult to maintain other pTeX related ports. However, "ptex --kanji=sjis" still works, so it can be used if all of macro files under share/texmf are converted to Shift JIS encoding manually. 20040820: AFFECTS: users of japanese/dvipsk-vflib AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org japanese/dvipsk-vflib has been removed because it is not maintained for a long time. While japanese/dvipsk itself has no support to rendering vector fonts, this and Ghostscript give almost the same functionality. 20040820: AFFECTS: users of japanese/xdvik-vflib AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org japanese/xdvik-vflib has been renamed to japanese/xdvik because it has nothing to do with VFLib now. It depends on and uses FreeType2 to render vector fonts. 20040817: AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org Summary of recent changes: - Access to filesystem is denied by default. - mod_proxy* are no longer built by default - Now ${PREFIX}/etc/apache2/Includes/*.conf can be used to store local configuration or sample configurations. - Makefile.modules.3rd contains modules selection for apache 2.x and 1.3.x 20040815: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22{,-sasl}-server AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The start/stop script has moved to ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. Users on 5.x who want to start the daemon early can set WITH_RCORDER=yes. Setting WITH_ODBC_TYPE is not sufficient to enable SQL backend support, WITH_ODBC=yes is required. 20040813: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 (kdm) AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org If you are unable to login to X via kdm after portupgrading to the latest kdebase port and you're getting these or similar messages on the console /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[447]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup": No such file or directory /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[432]: Cannot execute startup script "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup" /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[448]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xreset": No such file or directory /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:12 kiste kdm: :0[458]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup": No such file or directory please do the following: 1.) Copy /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc away to a safe place, for example your home directory ( cp /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ~/ ) 2.) Run, as root: genkdmconf --no-old 3.) Put your copy of kdmrc back to /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (cp ~/kdmrc /usr/local/share/config/kdm/ ) Optional step 4.) Run, as root: genkdmconf (without any options) to update your kdmrc to the lastest configfile format Note for advanced users: Substitute /usr/local with your custom PREFIX if you're using one. 20040730: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org, mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. you should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation. * run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.5. * now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like : portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 |tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards. Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary, if you are upgrading from 5.8.4. But it is cleaner to do so anyway. 20040726: AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org The update to Ant 1.6.2 introduces the following changes which may break older environments, according to the 1.6.2 release notes: . The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505. . ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has always been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar. . All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception giving the location in the buildfile of the task. . Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace. . will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1. 20040724: AFFECTS: users for xorg and GNOME AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org After migrating from XFree86 to X.Org, you must rebuild x11-toolkits/libwnck and x11/libxklavier for full GNOME functionality to be restored. If you receive an XKB initialization error when starting GNOME, edit your XF86Config or xorg.conf, and remove the line: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" 20040723: AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of xorg AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade: pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-* cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install pkgdb -F Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process. Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages: cd /var/db/pkg portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 imake-4* portupgrade -o x11/xorg-libraries XFree86-libraries portupgrade -o x11/xorg-clients XFree86-clients portupgrade -o x11/xorg-manpages XFree86-manuals portupgrade -o x11/xorg-documents XFree86-documents portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype XFree86-fontScalable portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-100dpi XFree86-font100dpi portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-75dpi XFree86-font75dpi portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-type1 XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-cyrillic XFree86-fontCyrillic portupgrade -o x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-encodings XFree86-fontEncodings portupgrade -o x11-servers/xorg-server XFree86-Server portupgrade -o x11/xorg -f XFree86 20040719: AFFECTS: users of PHP AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been splitted into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features. Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions). PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular extensions individually. If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled into the PHP binary. For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use the command "php -m". 20040717: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap21{,-sasl}-client AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do portupgrade -rfo net/openldap22-client openldap-client (or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=21' to /etc/make.conf Note that when you want to upgrade openldap21{,sasl}-server, you have to use slapcat/slapadd to migrate the database, since the internal format is not binary compatible. Simply upgrading the server without doing a slapcat first can corrupt your database. 20040717: AFFECTS: users of mail/exim on FreeBSD 5.x AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The default location of the startup script has been changed to ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. When you depend on the previous behaviour, build the port with WITH_RCORDER=yes. Setting WITH_OPENLDAP_VER and WITH_MYSQL_VER do not automatically imply the corresponding WITH_ varibale. The use of these options is discouraged, use the global settings (WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER) to set system wide defaults. 20040709: AFFECTS: users of mail/milter-sender AUTHOR: vs@FreeBSD.org Milter-sender version 0.58 released. When updating to version 0.58, beware if you have a personalised configuration file (milter-sender.cf). The meaning of the MxAcceptsAllAction variable has changed and its default has changed from 4 to 6. If this variable is not updated, greylisting might be more aggressive than expected. 20040708: AFFECTS: users of www/opera AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org Opera 7.52 released. The file search.ini has been changed to ensure correct default addresses for dictionary and encyclopedia searches. Existing versions will be overwritten on upgrade. Users who have a customized search.ini file that they would like to keep, should edit its version number to 4 before upgrading. Note that you have to edit the search.ini file located in the /.opera folder. [Version] File Version=4 Other changes you are may find in changelog, its available at http://www.opera.com/freebsd/changelogs/752/ 20040706: AFFECTS: users of Python bindings for textproc/lib{xml2,xslt} libraries AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org Python bindings for libxml2 and libxslt libraries were moved out into separate slave ports. Please install textproc/py-libxml2 and textproc/py-libxslt to get bindings back to your system. 20040703: AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk-devel AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Netatalk-devel has been converted to use RCng. That means all of the netatalk daemons must be enabled in /etc/rc.conf before they will start (previously, all netatalk daemons would start by default). The following variables are used by the new netatalk.sh script: atalkd_enable cnid_metad_enable papd_enable afpd_enable timelord_enable See the netatalk.sh script for more details. 20040701: AFFECTS: users of security/portaudit AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The preference file format, as well as the periodic(8) names have changed. If you use the default settings, no modifications are necessary. new settings in /usr/local/etc/portaudit.conf: portaudit_fetch_env="HTTP_PROXY=" portaudit_fetch_cmd="fetch -1amp" portaudit_sites="http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/" new settings in periodic.conf(5): daily_status_security_portaudit_enable="YES" daily_status_security_portaudit_expiry="2" daily_status_security_portaudit_user="nobody" 20040629: AFFECTS: users of audio/daapd AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Daapd must now be enabled in rc.conf. Add this to your /etc/rc.conf: daapd_enable="YES" 20040626: AFFECTS: users of php4 and php5 with the PDFlib extension AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The PDFlib extension has been removed from the archive and moved to PECL. Consequently to enable it you have to install print/pecl-pdflib. Alternatively you may want to try the experimental print/pecl-panda. 20040625: AFFECTS: users of ftp/pure-ftpd AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org Pure-ftpd must be enabled in rc.conf now. Add this to your /etc/rc.conf: pureftpd_enable="YES" 20040622: AFFECTS: users of net/openslp AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org The openslp port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20040619: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/webmin and sysutils/usermin AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org The webmin and usermin ports must now be enabled in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-tetex AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The texmf.cnf file for pTeX is now installed in texmf/web2c-ptex. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-pkfonts* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The japanese/ptex-pkfonts* has been removed because pkfonts are already included in the teTeX distribution. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/xdvik-vflib* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The japanese/xdvik-vflib no longer supports VFlib2, and now depends on print/freetype2. For the configuration details, see vfontmap file which installed as texmf/xdvi/vfontmap. japanese/kochi-ttfonts is used for min and goth by default. xdvik-vflib-pk* variants has been removed because pkfonts are already included in the teTeX distribution. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The print/teTeX has been split into print/teTeX-base and print/teTeX-texmf, and print/teTeX is now a meta-port for the two and print/dvipsk-tetex and print/xdvik. print/teTeX installs dvips and xdvi by default again (via print/dvipsk-tetex and print/xdvik). For people who want to use teTeX, simply install print/teTeX with options set by default. print/teTeX-base has additional options for adding xdvi and dvips included in the teTeX distribution itself, but use of them are not recommended if you do not understand what you are trying to do. Especially, when the options are set by yourself, do not install ports that match *xdvi* and *dvips* because they break the installed print/teTeX-base's dviware and such conflicts will not be detected. In most cases, a combination of print/teTeX-base + print/dvipsk-tetex + print/xdvik (which are installed by print/teTeX by default) will be sufficient. 20040615: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org The firefox-0.9 update has a special requirement before you can run it. You must first run firefox as root before running it as another user. The best way to do this is to su - to root or log in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run ``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will not appear. 20040608: AFFECTS: users of net/haproxy AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org The haproxy port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040605: AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org The apache2 port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040602: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org, marius@FreeBSD.org sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel were merged into sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-devel respectively. To update them generate ("make index") or fetch ("make fetchindex") a new INDEX/INDEX-5. Run "pkgdb -F" and unregister the mkisofs/-devel port. Then forcefully update the cdrtools port and all of its dependencies (e.g. "portupgrade -rf cdrtools"). After the update it may be necessary to rerun "pkgdb -F" and resolve a stale dependency to cdrtools. 20040531: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.4. you should update everything depending on perl, that is : * first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation. * run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.4. * now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like : portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.4 |tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterward. 20040529: AFFECTS: users of mail/mailman and japanese/mailman AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org In Mailman 2.1.5, some significant changes have been made to the file formats for qfiles and the pendings database. See $PREFIX/share/doc/mailman/UPGRADING for details (if you define NOPORTDOCS, refer relevant file in an archive). 20040527: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22-client AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The OpenLDAP library soname has changed, requiring a recompilation of all dependent ports: portupgrade -rf net/openldap22-client 20040525: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-client AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org This port was removed because of dependencies problem. If you still want to have it, install databases/postgresql7 with -DWITHOUT_SERVER 20040521: AFFECTS: users of irc/ircd-hybrid-ru AUTHOR: krion@FreeBSD.org UID/GID were changed from 6667 to 555, please manually delete old entries from /etc/passwd /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group 20040514: AFFECTS: users of audio/faad AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org If the compilation of faad fails, please manually delete older installed version of faad and reinstall from port. 20040512: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The print/teTeX no longer installs dvipsk by default. To build and install dvipsk, you have to specify WITH_DVIPSK, or the dvipsk utility in the print/teTeX is also available print/dvipsk-tetex separately. This change is to resolve conflicts between various versions of dvips. 20040504: AFFECTS: users of mail/drac AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The "drac_flags" rc.conf(5) variable has been renamed to "dracd_flags". See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040501: AFFECTS: users of www/apache13 AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The apache13 port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040429: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/smartmontools AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The smartmontools port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040420: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cdrtools AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The cdrecord program now uses ${PREFIX}/etc (e.g. /usr/local/etc) instead of /etc/default as the location of the global configuration file. If you created such a configuration file you need to copy it over to the new location. 20040420: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you update KDE from version 3.2.1 or earlier to version 3.2.2 while running a KDE session, newly opened instances of Konqueror might hang or crash, depending on how far the update has progressed. If this happens, it is necessary to restart your KDE session in order to restore proper operations. 20040404: AFFECTS: GNOME desktop users AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.6. Simply portupgrading will cause serious problems if you are using the desktop itself. If you are a GNOME desktop user, you should carefully read the instructions at: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html And use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to properly upgrade to GNOME 2.6. If you are just a casual user of some of the GNOME libraries, portupgrade should be sufficient to update your ports. 20040316: AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-* AUTHOR: des@FreeBSD.org The isc-dhcp3-* ports must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message for details. 20040313: AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2 AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Users of expat2 (and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2 20040311: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7 AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org PostgreSQL 7.4.2 Released and release notes available at http://www.postgresql.org/news/173.html NOTICE: unlike most minor versions, this version does require some updates to the pg_* system tables. Full instructions for how to do this are included in the full HISTORY file. DO NOT UPGRADE WITHOUT READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 20040309: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs3 and x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you update kdelibs from version 3.2.0 to version 3.2.1 while running a KDE 3.2.0 session, newly opened instances of Konqueror will silently crash as soon as the new version of kdelibs has been installed, due to mismatching linker symbols. It is recommended you quit your KDE session at that point and update kdebase to version 3.2.1, then restart KDE. 20040309: AFFECTS: users of audio/arts and x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The arts port, PORTVERSION 1.2.1 does not include artswrapper anymore. Instead, artswrapper is now installed by a new port audio/artswrapper. Installation of artswrapper is optional, however: If you presently run KDE and you have "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)" checked in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/ Sound System and you choose to NOT install audio/artswrapper, you need to - Uncheck "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)" in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System BEFORE updating arts OR - AFTER updating arts and kdebase, go to Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/ Sound System, click on the unchecked "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)", dismiss the message telling you that realtime is un- available or artswrapper is missing and then click Apply. 20040305: AFFECTS: users of security/antivir-milter AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org When updating from a previous version of security/antivir-milter you have to do the following after deinstalling the old port: rm /AntiVir/antivir rm /AntiVir/antivir.vdf chown root:wheel /AntiVir chown root:smmsp /AntiVir/hbedv.key In your SENDMAIL_MC change `S=unix:/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m' to: `S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m' and rebuild sendmail.cf. If /var/spool/avmilter exist you have to: chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter If you are using a customized /etc/avmilter.conf the port won't remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User and Group to smmsp there. Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then should run antivirupdater to get a current VDF. 20040226: AFFECTS: i386 users of ruby and portupgrade AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386. If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default, please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8: 1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be installed): pkg_delete portupgrade-\* (cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean) 2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8 instead: portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16 3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks): portupgrade -f lang/ruby18 4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia): pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16 5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again. Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and reinstall portupgrade as a last resort. 20040204: AFFECTS: 5.2-CURRENT users who started with a 5.2-RELEASE or older. AUTHOR: obrien@FreeBSD.org Change the default version of perl to 5.8. 1) Force perl-5.6.1 to be upgraded with perl-5.8. portupgrade -o lang/perl5.8 -f perl-5.6.1_15 2) Update all p5-* modules. portupgrade -f p5-\* $FreeBSD$
