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. 20060629: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data-dist/mediawiki to ${PREFIX}/www/mediawiki. 20060624: AFFECTS: users of audio/mt-daapd AUTHOR: alex@foxybanana.com The default database directory has been changed to /var/db/mt-daapd. The default mp3 dir has been changed to ${PREFIX}/share/mt-daapd. Old configuration files will be maintained, if present, so no updating should be required. 20060624: AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent-devel and net/py-bittorrent-core-devel AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org This version has been specially patched to enable launchmany-{console,curses}. This is experimental. 20060624: AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent and net/py-bittorrent-core AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org launchmany-{console,curses} do not work under this version. 20060622: AFFECTS: users of www/dokuwiki AUTHOR: miwi@freebsd.org The default install location has changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data/dokuwiki to ${PREFIX}/www/dokuwiki. 20060622: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-client AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org MySQL version 5.0 is now the default. If you have only the client port, you can upgrade all ports with: portupgrade -rfo databases/mysql50-client mysql-client 20060616: AFFECTS users of all pfpro ports AUTHOR: aaron@FreeBSD.org The default certificate location has been changed to respect hier(7). The new default location is LOCALBASE/etc/pfpro/certs. 20060616: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22{,-sasl}-client AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP version 2.3 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do portupgrade -rfo net/openldap23-client openldap-client (or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=22' to /etc/make.conf. 20060616: AFFECTS users of emulation/linux_base-* AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org We now use Fedora Core 4 as the linux base port, and the corresponding xorg libs for the linux X11 libs port. To upgrade you have to run portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\* portupgrade -f -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs 20060612: AFFECTS: users of editors/staroffice60, editors/staroffice70 and german/staroffice70 AUTHOR: erwin@FreeBSD.org The USE_CDROM knob was renamed to WITH_CDROM for consistency within the ports tree. 20060611: AFFECTS: users of www/c-icap AUTHOR: b3k@mail.ru The format of file c-icap.magic has changed. If you use your own c-icap.magic file remember to convert it to the new format. It can be done using the convert_old_magic.pl script located in the contrib directory. 20060605: AFFECTS: users of net/kdenetwork3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The KDE multi-protocol instant messenger, Kopete, has been moved out of the net/kdenetwork3 port and is now available separately as net-im/kopete. 20060529: AFFECTS: users of net/quagga AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org As of version 0.99.4 quagga no longer supports UCD-SNMP v4. If you require this functionality, you should make alternative arrangements before upgrading quagga. 20060529: AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail-spamcontrol AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org Updated to version 2.4.14 that brings a lot of news, most significant is STARTTLS support on smtpd and pop3d, if you want to use it, you need to install sysutils/ucspi-ssl-tls port that has the necessary patch applied. Remember to select STDERR option and rebuils security/clamav port, this is necessary to have the correct log on smtpd. After upgrade from 2.3.x you will need to set environment var SMTPAUTH to enable auth, you can set it as "login" or "crammd5" to set which auth you want. 20060528: AFFECTS: users of news/inn AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com The 2.4.3 port of inn has an unfortunate bug which causes inn's database files to be erased during an uninstall or upgrade. Earlier versions are also affected. The latest port revision fixes this, but before upgrading, users are advised to move their ${PREFIX}/news/db directory out of the way, in order to save the history, active and newsgroups databases from destruction. 20060526: AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-new AUTHOR: gkovesdan@t-hosting.hu The Clamav project recommended that security/clamav and security/clamav-devel should depend on archivers/unzoo instead of zoo, and on archivers/arj instead of unarj. Because the clamav and clamav-devel ports are used quite often with amavisd-new, this port was modified to depend on the same two archiver ports as well. The amavisd-new port automatically recognizes arj, but not unzoo, so ${PREFIX}/etc/amavisd.conf should be modified. This line should be changed: ['zoo', \&do_zoo, 'zoo'], To this one: ['zoo', \&do_zoo, ['zoo','unzoo'] ], 20060526: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap23-server AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org The setting of SHELL backend has been inverted to off by default, because of the side effect it can cause. A new option, SLURPD has been added to give the user decision on whether the replication should be built and installed. Please note that the replication daemon is disabled when threading is disabled (e.g. when using shell backend), no matter what the user option SLURPD is set to. You are advised to do a "make config" in the net/openldap23-server directory *before* upgrading. 20060524: AFFECTS: users of games/spicetrade AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org To comply with the Porter's Handbook recommendations, spicetrade port no longer defines USE_X_PREFIX. Hence the executable used to launch the game has moved to ${PREFIX}/bin/spicetrade (was ${X11BASE}/bin/spicetrade). 20060524: AFFECTS: users of java/jasmin AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The executable has been renamed to 'jasmin' (was 'jasmin.sh') 20060522: AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced, astro/boinc-setiathome-naparst, astro-boinc-setiathome AUTHOR: r.c.ladan@gmail.com As SETI@home doesn't generate work for 4.x clients anymore, the ports structure has been updated to use the 5.x client by default. People currently using any of the above ports should finish and report their existing work (both for normal and enhanced) and not allow any new work until after their ports are updated, to minimize loss of work. Note that this update changes the enhanced client to work for the normal instead of the beta project. When a beta client for Astropulse is released, it will work as the new client for the beta project. 20060518: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap23-server AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org The OpenLDAP 2.3.x series now automatically disables threading when shell backend is enabled, as suggested by the OpenLDAP developers. Users should be aware of the change and choose whether to enable the feature. 20060516: AFFECTS: users of www/tinyproxy AUTHOR: wxs@csh.rit.edu tinyproxy now installs a rc.d script. To enable tinyproxy at boot time, set the following in rc.conf(5): tinyproxy_enable="YES" The confiration file for tinyproxy has been moved to ${PREFIX}/etc/tinyproxy.conf. Any old configuration files will need to be migrated over to the new location. 20060514: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/smartmontools, others AUTHOR: jylefort@FreeBSD.org In FreeBSD 6.1, the ata(4) device ABI has changed. After updating to FreeBSD 6.1, ports which access ATA drives directly (sysutils/smartmontools, others) must be rebuilt. 20060512: AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org Fetchmail now has a rcNG script. It supports two modes: - one fetchmail instance per user: Set the `fetchmail_users' variable to a list of users for which you want to start fetchmail. - a global system wide daemon (runs per default as user `fetchmail') See $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/fetchmail for details. 20060509: AFFECTS: users of net-im/sulci AUTHOR: Denis Shaposhnikov After upgrading from 0.5.a.20050918 version you have to convert your vocabulary database to sqlite using: /usr/local/libexec/sulci/wtf_convert and change sulci's configuration file in "vocabulary" directive, see /usr/local/share/examples/sulci/sulci.conf.example 20060507: AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-server with failover setup AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de Beginning with isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.4 a new field is added to the lease state structures found in the dhcpd.leases file. Please refer to ${PREFIX}/share/doc/isc-dhcp3-server/RELNOTES for further informations about this change and how you can update your dhcpd.leases file. 20060506: AFFECTS: users of PHP AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The old PHP slave ports (phpN-cli, phpN-cgi and mod_phpN) were removed in favour of unified PHP ports that allow building any combination of PHP SAPIs (cli, cgi and apache module). The PHP CGI binary was renamed to php-cgi, so you should update the path in your script. To simplify the update process, *only* for this release a 'php' compatibility symlink to php-cgi will be created if you don't select the CLI SAPI. Before the upgrade you *should* run 'make config' in lang/php4 or lang/php5 to configure the SAPIs you want to install. As a consequence the default binary packages include the CLI and the FastCGI SAPIs. 20060506: AFFECTS: users of lang/lua, editors/kile, x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org Recently, the port of Lua was updated to version 5.1. This version is incompatible with the version 5.0, which is used in a number of applications, most notable in the Kile and Kate editors (the latter being part of a base KDE installation). If you're having troubles running those, such as error dialogs saying "Check your KDE installation", make sure to downgrade your lua installation back to 5.0: portupgrade -f -o lang/lua50 lua-5.1 20060501: AFFECTS: users of www/instiki AUTHOR: arsptr@optusnet.com.au The instiki port has changed storage methods to use an SQL database. The README contains instructions on how to migrate existing wiki data to the new storage methods. The following is a copy of the relevant information, tailored for FreeBSD port users: 1. cd /usr/ports/www/instiki; make extract 2. Execute ruby work/instiki-0.11.0/script/import_storage \ -t /usr/local/instiki/storage/2500 \ -i /usr/local/instiki \ -d sqlite \ -o [some location]/instiki_import.sql 3. This will produce instiki_import.sql file in the specified location. Open it in a text editor and inspect carefully. 4. Upgrade your instiki port normally (eg portupgrade) 5. Connect to your production database, eg: sqlite3 /usr/local/instiki/db/production.db.sqlite3 and have it execute instiki_import.sql, eg: .read [some location]/instiki_import.sql 6. Execute ruby /usr/local/instiki/script/reset_references production (this script parses all pages for crosslinks between them, so it may take a few minutes) 20060429: AFFECTS: All GNOME users AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.14. This new release does NOT require the use of the gnome_upgrade.sh script. That script should not be used. Instead, use the following simple recipe: pkgdb -Ff portupgrade -o net/avahi -f howl portupgrade -o x11/gnome-screensaver -f xscreensaver-gnome portupgrade -a 20060425: AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com ejabberd's UID and GID have changed. Users are advised to check all configuration files and data in /var/spool/ejabberd to ensure everything has the correct owner/group. 20060424: AFFECTS: users of devel/monotone AUTHOR: lapo@lapo.it Version 0.26 of monotone has many differences with past versions, there are changes in executable name, in repository and workspace format and also in the 'netsync' network protocol. A centralized "flagday" migration is needed in order to change format. Refer to ${PREFIX}/share/doc/monotone/UPGRADE for migration instructions. 20060418: AFFECTS: users of net/{ipw,iwi}-firmware AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org Some changes in the way ipw(4) and iwi(4) work lead to fundamental changes in ipw-firmware and iwi-firmware ports. Since these drivers are now using loadable kernel modules as firmware, two new ports have been created: net/ipw-firmware-kmod and net/iwi-firmware-kmod. You should not be able to install the wrong one since detection is based on your FreeBSD version. Trying to install the wrong port will result in an error message (port marked as IGNORE). 20060413: AFFECTS: users of security/tor-devel AUTHOR: johans@FreeBSD.org The default data directory of tor-devel has been changed from /var/run/tor to /var/db/tor/data In order to keep your old server settings, you should either move the appropriate files to this directory manually, or set the tor_datadir variable accordingly in /etc/rc.conf 20060414: AFFECTS: users of www/horde, www/horde-php5, www/horde-passwd, deskutils/nag, deskutils/mnemo, deskutils/kronolith, mail/turba, mail/ingo, mail/imp, devel/chora AUTHOR: shaun@inerd.com The Horde ports no longer overwrite your existing configuration files during an upgrade: if you have modified any of the files in the config directory of any of these ports, they will be left untouched when you upgrade. It is recommended that the new .dist files are examined after an upgrade and any changes merged into your existing config files if necessary. 20060408: AFFECTS: users of www/linux-flashplugin* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org These ports have been removed because the End User License Agreement explicitly forbids to run the Flash Player on FreeBSD. For more details, see http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/license/desktop/. 20060407: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/bacula* AUTHOR: dan@langille.org bacula-server now installs two rc.d scripts, one for the Director and one for the Storage Daemon. To enable the Director at boot time, set the following in /etc/rc.conf[.local]: bacula_dir_enable="YES" To enable the Storage Daemon, set the following in rc.conf(5): bacula_sd_enable="YES" Similarly, bacula-client also installs a rcNG script. To enable the File Daemon at boot time, set the following in rc.conf(5): bacula_fd_enable="YES" The old z-bacula.sh script in PREFIX/etc/rc.d should be removed. 20060403: AFFECTS: users of databases/db* AUTHOR: swhetzel@gmail.com Most of the ports that depend on Berkeley DB have been updated to use Mk/bsd.database.mk. Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Berkeley DB, and SQLite in a port. The Berkeley DB support in Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to return the proper db* library name and location of the include and library directories of the requested version. To select a version of Berkeley DB, you can use either WITH_BDB_VER= or ${UNIQUENAME}_WITH_BDB_VER= (version is one of 3, 40, 41, 42, 43, or 44). When a port has USE_BDB defined as either 'USE_BDB=41+' or 'USE_BDB=yes', the port will use the oldest installed version of Berkeley DB. For example if both db41 and db43 are installed, the port would end up compling with db41. If you add -DWITH_BDB_HIGHEST to your make command, the port will use highest db* instead. If no Berkeley DB is installed then the port will default to the version specified or the default Berkeley DB version (currently db41). NOTE: If a port was using a different variable to select Berkeley DB or a version, you will get an IGNORE message when you build the port. This message will tell you what you need to do. Port Maintainers please review the comments in Mk/bsd.database.mk on what variables are available for you use in your own ports. 20060331: AFFECTS: users of biology/emboss and biology/embassy AUTHOR: fernan@iib.unsam.edu.ar Since EMBOSS-3.0.0 both EMBOSS and EMBASSY install by default into $LOCALBASE/emboss to avoid conflicts with other ports. Users upgrading to 3.0.0 should take this into consideration when planning the upgrade, because it will involve moving data not installed by the port (databases) and tweaking the emboss.defaults config file. If you want to install the ports into $LOCALBASE (/usr/local, the old behaviour), you can still do so by setting PREFIX manually. But you will have to take care of conflicting ports yourself. 20060330: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org The genkdmconf.sh rc-script has been removed in favour of a kdm wrapper script, which now handles both launching kdm and automatically updating or generating kdm's configuration files. The actual kdm binaries have been renamed to 'kdm-bin', 'kdm-bin_config' and 'kdm-bin_greet' respectively. These changes should be mostly transparent to kdm users and require no changes to existing configurations or setups, however: The actual kdm process is now also named 'kdm-bin', so 'killall kdm' will no longer work. 20060328: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de Beginning with nut-2.0.3 the nut rcNG script only starts the ups driver and the ups daemon 'upsd'. The ups monitor 'upsmon' and the ups logger 'upslog' are now handled by seperate scripts to get more control over the different services. Please take a look into the nut, nut_upslog and nut_upsmon scripts installed in ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/ for possible rc.conf values and their defaults. 20060322: AFFECTS: users of security/dazuko AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org Do not load the module using /boot/loader.conf. It generates a page fault due to a possible dazuko bug. You could use /etc/rc.local for loading the module. For example, add the following line to /etc/rc.local: /sbin/kldload dazuko 20060319: AFFECTS: users of graphics/py-exif AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org The 'exiftool' utility from py-exif has been renamed to 'py-exiftool' in order to avoid a conflict with p5-Image-ExifTool. 20060316: AFFECTS: users of textproc/docproj[-jadetex] AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org docproj now installs a set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) related stuff in case that you have choosen to install the jadetex feature. Because the CJK part could be potentially large for those who do not want it, this feature can be disabled by defining WITHOUT_CJK=yes. Please be sure to update to the latest docproj package, as an upcoming doc/share/mk change will make use of the newly added fixrtf utility. 20060315: AFFECTS: users of www/horde, mail/turba and deskutils/kronolith AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org There are several points to check in your configuration files or in your database after upgrading Horde to 3.1, Turba to 2.1 and IMP to 4.1; please read UPGRADING in their doc directories. 20060315: AFFECTS: users of net-im/jabber AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org After upgrade jabber-1.x to 1.4.4 you must to rewrite your ${PREFIX}/etc/jabber.xml based on new ${PREFIX}/etc/jabber.xml.dist installed by the port because it's not backward compatible. 20060313: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/vcdimager and security/dirmngr AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org These versions of the ports which have been installed in your system accidentally installed some malformed entries to $LOCALBASE/info/dir, which prevent them from being upgraded to the latest versions. Please remove the following entries manually from $LOCALBASE/info/dir before upgrading them to vcdimager-0.7.23_2 (and later) and dirmngr-0.9.3_2 (and later) respectively. multimedia/vcdimager - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * VCDImager: (vcdimager).

Although English, French, German, Japanese, and Korean version of the port were updated to 7.0.5 on 2006/02/21, these changes have been reverted consequently. Please update the packages installed (normal upgrading procedure by using portupgrade(1) and so on should work). I am sorry for the confusion. 20060302: AFFECTS: net-im/jabber-pyicq and net-im/jabber-pymsn AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org Port versions older than 0.7 and 0.11a respectivly run as root which is an uneeded security risk. Newer versions run as as user jabber, so before starting the daemons, you should fix permissions for each spooldir (default: /var/spool/jabber): # chown -R jabber:jabber spooldir/Transport_JID 20060223: AFFECTS: all ports using libtool as part of the build process AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org The way in which ports that require libtool to build has been completely reworked to bring the ports system in line with other environments, such as Linux, and pkgsrc. devel/libtool13 no longer exists. devel/libtool15 has been modified to (a) install in the canonical locations and (b) remove a number of long-standing FreeBSD-specific patches that resulted in a very different libtool than is present on other systems. The main visible change will be that a large number of ports have had their plists modified (we now install libtool .la archives) and, as such, PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on ~2000 ports (roughly 1/7th of the tree). Unfortunately, there is no simple upgrade path. Short of removing all packages and reinstalling from scratch, the only other viable alternative would be careful use of portupgrade. Given the large number of different ways in which libtool is used by other ports in the tree, this is a process that is likely to vary considerably from system to system, and as such, folks should be very mindful of running automatic updating software, such as portupgrade, making extensive use of the -n flag (and equivalents for other updaters) to see what will actually be rebuilt, before actually performing the upgrade. The good news is that the system now in place will make the handling of libtool-using ports considerably easier going forward. 20060221: AFFECTS: users of print/acroread7 and the localized versions AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org installation directory of print/acroread7 and the slave ports have been changed to ${PREFIX}/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/${ADOBE_LANG}. ${ADOBE_LANG} is one of CHS,CHT,DAN,DEU,ENU,ESP,FRA,ITA,JPN,KOR, NLD,NOR,PTB,SUO,SVE and represents language used in the UI (FRA means French version and it is installed by french/acroread, for example). To configure the UI language, navigate to Edit->Preferences->International-> Application Language, set it to "Choose at application startup" and restart the program. The command filename is ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread as before (this is a script installed by print/acroreadwrapper now), and if multiple versions are installed, one of them will be selected according to ${ADOBE_LANG} environment variable. If ${ADOBE_LANG} is not set, it will be automatically set by using ${LANG}; this means when LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-15, ADOBE_LANG will be FRA and the French version will be invoked by ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread. You can set ADOBE_LANG manually, too. Also, if you want to activate the PDF plugin, use --install-plugin option in ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread. For more detail, see print/acroreadwrapper/pkg-message. 20060220: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.8. 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. 20060220: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/enlightenment AUTHOR: vanilla@FreeBSD.org enlightenment 0.16 change binary name from 'enlightenment' to 'e16'. you should change it on your .xinit file. 20060212: AFFECTS: users of mail/dcc-dccd AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org The midnight dccm and dccifd system log message has been changed to disclose spam passed from whiteclnt-listed MX servers. MX servers should now be listed in /var/dcc/whiteclnt with lines like: mx ip 10.2.3.4 mx ip 10.5.6.0/28 mxdcc ip 10.7.8.9 "MX" marks the IP address of one of your mail systems that should be ignored in initial Received: headers and when reported by sendmail to dccm. "MXDCC" marks IP addresss of your mail systems that run DCC clients and that will have already reported mail to the DCC. Continue using "OK" whitelist entries for mail systems that you trust to never send or forward unsolicited bulk email. Allow custom DNS blacklist SMTP rejection messages. See -Bset:rej-msg=X in the dccifd and dccm man pages. 20060207: AFFECTS: users of www/jakarta-tomcat4, www/jakarta-tomcat41, www/jakarta-tomcat5, www/jakarta-tomcat55, and www/tomcat55 AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org The Tomcat ports listed above have been converted to use new-style rc scripts. In order to enable Tomcat, you must add: tomcat{4,41,5,55}_enable="YES" to your rc.conf. Select the appropriate version number for your installation. When shutting down, the rc scripts will kill the Tomcat process after a default timeout of 10 seconds. This can be changed by setting the tomcatXX_stop_timeout variable in rc.conf. Tomcat 5.5 users please note that the rc variables have changed name from jakarta_tomcat55_* to tomcat55_*. The "tomcatctl" executable is no longer installed. Please use the rc scripts to control tomcat instead. 20060202: AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2 AUTHOR: kuriyama@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 20060201: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xmbmon AUTHOR: jylefort@FreeBSD.org The tty program (mbmon) was moved into a separate port, sysutils/mbmon. 20060201: AFFECTS: users of x11/tilda AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org The configuration file syntax has changed. Users of x11/tilda must delete their old ones and re-create them. 20060131: AFFECTS: users of security/stunnel AUTHOR: roam@FreeBSD.org Since stunnel-4.14_1, the stunnel.pem certificate generated by "make cert" is installed into /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ instead of /usr/local/etc/. 20060130: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portsnap AUTHOR: cperciva@FreeBSD.org Due to configuration file changes, users of portsnap are encouraged to copy the latest sample configuration file into place after updating portsnap to version 1.0: # cd /usr/local/etc && cp portsnap.conf.sample portsnap.conf 20060126: AFFECTS: ports that use Display Postscript libraries and xorg-libraries AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org Support for Display Postscript has been deprecated in X.Org 6.9 release and libraries and tools are no longer installed by default. If you have installed a port that complains about missing libdpstk or libpsres, you need to reinstall it so it will be build without DPS support. 20060123: AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail, mail/qmail-ldap, mail/qmail-mysql, mail/qmail-spamcontrol, mail/qmail-tls and all dependant ports. AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org If you use qmail installed on a PREFIX different of /var/qmail, please, set a var on /etc/make.conf named QMAIL_PREFIX with this value. It'll be used for many ports that depends of qmail. To prevent stale dependencies, when you use one of qmail slave ports, now you just need to set a var named QMAIL_SLAVEPORT on /etc/make.conf assigning to it the name of slave port you are using. The valid options for now are: * ldap * mysql * spamcontrol * tls 20060114: AFFECTS: users of www/apache13-ssl with suexec enabled. AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org The port has been converted to new apache framework, using bsd.apache.mk. suexec knobs have changed to WITH_SUEXEC and SUEXEC_*. See Mk/bsd.apache.mk for more details. 20060113: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/qvamps AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org Some program location pathnames have been corrected. Therefore, a new configuration file has to be generated. First, close qvamps. Then, remove the previous configuration file. Finally, start qvamps again. The configuration file can be removed with: $ rm ~/.qvamps/qvampsrc 20060112: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix, mail/postfix1, mail/postfix21, mail/postfix-current AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org Now all postfix ports use rcNG script to startup. If you have any file in etc/rc.d directory linked to sbin/postfix, please remove. Do not forget to add 'postfix_enable="YES"' in your rc.conf 20060112: AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org gnutls has been updated to 1.2.9 and all shared libraries' versions have been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on gnutls. Do something like: portupgrade -rf gnutls 20060111: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/lxdvdrip AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org lxdvdrip has been updated to version 1.51 depending on port multimedia/vamps. However, multimedia/vamps needs to know beforehand how many bytes will be processed in order to work. Unfortunately, lxdvdrip cannot provide such information. Therefore, vamps and playcell specific tailored versions shipped within the lxdvdrip distribution will be used. They will be named so that lxdvdrip does not conflict with multimedia/vamps. This is for lxdvdrip version 1.51_1. However, users that used lxdvdrip previously to this update, are required to modify their configuration file in order to comply to the new naming scheme. File: ~/.lxdvdrip.conf From: play_cell_name=play_cell vamps_name=vamps To: play_cell_name=play_cell_lxdvdrip vamps_name=vamps_lxdvdrip 20060111: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Perforce has been updated to version 2005.2. As usual, there has been significant schema upgrades, so even though upgrading to 2005.2 is straightforward, it is still highly recommended to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.052/user/relnotes.txt 20060110: AFFECTS: users of www/drupal AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org The default install location has changed from PREFIX/www/data/drupal to PREFIX/www/drupal. Users who want to use the old location can set the DRUPDIR variable to www/data/drupal. 20060109: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-server AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org All postgresql versions have been updated. These patch releases fix a problem with character string comparisons for locales that consider different character combinations as equal, such as Hungarian. This might require "REINDEX" to fix existing indexes on textual columns. Also, if plperl is used, a "REINDEX" might be required under certain conditions. Check the HISTORY file in the source for details. 20060108: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs3, x11/kdebase3, deskutils/superkaramba, x11-themes/kde-windeco-smoothblend, irc/kvirc, editors/vimpart AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org A number of files have been moved from kdebase to kdelibs between KDE 3.4.3 and KDE 3.5.0 and some applications which used to be distributed separately from KDE have been included in the release. This means that you will have to take some precautions in order to update your KDE installation without interruptions. We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo). 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdebase-\[0-9\]\* superkaramba-\[0-9\]\* \ kde-windeco-smoothblend-\[0-9]\* kvirc-\[0-9\]\* \ kdeaddons-vimpart-\[0-9\]\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdebase Superkaramba is now included in misc/kdeutils3. The smoothblend window decoration is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3. Vimpart is being discontinued and no longer part of KDE. KNOWN ISSUES: ============= Just like KDE 3.4, KDE 3.5 does not play nice with openssl-0.9.8. In particular it breaks kwallet, some of the SSL handling in konqueror and SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact. If you're using the openssl ports rather than the base-system openssl, make sure to use security/openssl-stable. You can put WITH_OPENSSL_STABLE=yes into /etc/make.conf to automatically make ports depend on that rather than on security/openssl. FreeBSD 4.x users MUST install openssl-stable even if the base openssl is present for SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact to work. Unfortunately, the kdepim3 port cannot depend on it automatically due to shortcomings/bugs in ports-collection's openssl infrastructure. 20060106: AFFECTS: users of deskutils/kronolith <= 2.0.6 with MCAL backend AUTHOR: thierry@FreeBSD.org Beginning with release 2.1, the support of MCAL will be removed from Kronolith. To prepare your migration, you can already switch to a SQL back-end, with the script provided at /usr/local/www/horde/kronolith/scripts/migrate_to_sql_driver.php. 20060105: AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail >= 6.3.0 AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org Beginning with release 6.3.0, fetchmail not only needs write access to the idfile ($HOME/.fetchids), but also to the directory holding this file. For end users running fetchmail with default idfile on their own account, nothing changes: they have write access to their home directory. 20060105: AFFECTS: users of www/wwwoffle, security/ipsec-tools AUTHOR: edwin@FreeBSD.org The startup of the rc.d scripts for these two ports are now by default disabled. 20051228: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/tovid AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org tovid shell scripts relies heavily on bash(1) but the previous port version tried to use sh(1). However, since there were too many complications, the port now depends on shells/bash. Due to this change, the configuration files need to be regenerated. Please, erase all previous configuration files. The configuration file samples will be generated on the 1st invocation of the scripts. $ rm ~/.tovid/* 20051228: AFFECTS: users of shells/scponly AUTHOR: rushani@FreeBSD.org From scponly 4.2, scp & WinSCP compatibilities are not enabled by default. To enable those compatibilities, define WITH_SCPONLY_SCP and/or WITH_SCPONLY_WINSCP, respectively. 20051225: AFFECTS: users of p5-libapreq2 AUTHOR: vanilla@FreeBSD.org libapreq2 can be pure c library, I believe some people need pure c library, but hate mod_perl, so I split it to 2 ports, and set libapreq2 as p5-libapreq2's master ports. If you need pure library of libapreq2, install www/libapreq2. If you like mod_perl & enjoy p5-libapreq2, install/www/p5-libapreq2. 20051213: AFFECTS: users of pear ports AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org A few old pear ports have been removed from the tree in favor of a single devel/pear port. If portupgrade complains about missing ports, you may safely remove pear-XML_RPC, pear-Console_Getopt, pear-Archive_Tar and php[45]-pear and then run: portupgrade -o devel/pear -f pear-PEAR 20051212: AFFECTS: users of net/ntop AUTHOR: wxs@csh.rit.edu ntop now installs a rcNG script. It also logs to syslog by default. To enable ntop at boot time, set the following in rc.conf(5): ntop_enable="YES" 20051210: AFFECTS: users of net/mldonkey-devel AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org MLDonkey port net/mldonkey-devel has been patched to work with the updated lang/ocaml version 3.09. As a result, ocaml 3.09 is now a requirement. You have to follow the instructions for updating your complete ocaml installation outlined below on 20051201 by burelle@lri.fr. If you use the command below, everything should be fine. $ portupgrade -fr 'ocaml*' 'mldonkey-*devel*' 20051210: AFFECTS: users of mail/fetchmail using SSL encryption AUTHOR: barner@FreeBSD.org Fetchmail now checks the validity of server certificates and complains verbosely in maillog if the validation fails. If your mail server's certificate is not signed by one of the root authorities, you have to manually configure them using the following steps: * Download the necessary certificates in PEM format and store them at a suitable location, e.g. /home/user/.certs * Run the c_rehash tool on the freshly installed certificates: - If you are using OpenSSL from the base system (this is the default) use the following command: % perl /usr/src/crypto/openssl/tools/c_rehash /home/user/.certs - If you are using OpenSSL from security/openssl please use % c_rehash /home/user/.certs * Use the following options to enable SSL encryption in your .fetchmailrc configuration file: options ssl sslcertpath /home/user/.certs sslcertck sslfingerprint '< fingerprint >' < other options > 20051208: AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent and net/py-bittorrent-core AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org Developer renamed most BitTorrent command line scripts: * btdownloadgui.py -> bittorrent.py * btdownloadheadless.py -> bittorrent-console.py * btdownloadcurses.py -> bittorrent-curses.py * btmaketorrentgui.py -> maketorrent.py * btmaketorrent.py -> maketorrent-console.py * btlaunchmany.py -> launchmany-console.py * btlaunchmanycurses.py -> launchmany-curses.py * bttrack.py -> bittorrent-tracker.py * btreannounce.py -> changetracker-console.py * btrename.py has been REMOVED, use maketorrent*.py * btshowmetainfo.py -> torrentinfo-console.py Check http://www.bittorrent.com/bittorrent_versions.html 20051207: AFFECTS: users of {japanese,chinese,korean}/FreeWnn-* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org {ja,zh,ko}-FreeWnn-server now use the new rc.subr(8) framework for their startup script. Note that to invoke each Wnn daemon at boot time you have to set the following variables in rc.conf(5) respectively: wnn_enable kwnn_enable twnn_enable cwnn_enable 20051203: AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org www/apache2 port directory was renamed to www/apache20 to keep consistency with other apache ports. 20051203: AFFECTS: users of www/apache22 and any web apps porters AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org www/apache22 stop supporting ${LOCALBASE}/www/(data|error|cgi)(|-dist) directory layout in favor of ${LOCALBASE}/www/apache22/(data|error|cgi). FYI, ports layout may change soon. 20051202: AFFECTS: users of www/plone and cmf oriented zope modules AUTHOR: filippo.natali@gmail.com www/plone has been updated to the latest 2.1.1 version. Some zope modules are unfortunately incompatible with this version of plone. 20051202: AFFECTS: users of security/racoon and security/ipsec-tools AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org security/racoon has been removed. You should migrate to its replacement, security/ipsec-tools. No configuration changes will be required. The default configuration file location has changed for ipsec-tools. You will need to move your racoon configuration files to the new location /usr/local/etc/racoon. Alternatively, add this line in rc.conf to continue using the old location: racoon_flags="-f /usr/local/etc" 20051201: AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml AUTHOR: burelle@lri.fr Upgrade to 3.09.0 will break binary compatibility at link time, so any library build with old versions should be rebuild in order to be usable (standalone binaries do not require rebuild since they are statically linked.) 20051129: AFFECTS: users of devel/monotone AUTHOR: lapo@lapo.it Keys are now stored in ~/.monotone/keys/. You must run 'db migrate' against each of your databases; this will automatically migrate the keys. Command line syntax for 'serve' has changed; please adjust startup scripts accordingly. See /usr/local/share/doc/monotone/NEWS for details. 20051123: AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org A change has been committed against www/lighttpd, which flips the meaning of the IPV6 option to match other ports, along with the 1.4.7 upgrade. If you have previously saved configuration that checks the IPV6 option (meaning to disable IPv6), then you will have to rerun the configuration with ``make config''. The default setting for IPV6 build is kept, which was enabled by default. 20051113: AFFECTS: users of x11/xterm, x11/xorg-clients, x11/XFree86-4-clients AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org Xterm no longer installs with '-static' prefix. Users should upgrade XFree86-clients to 4.5.0_1 or xorg-clients to 6.8.2_1 or newer before attempting upgrade of xterm to 206_1 or newer. Previous versions remove xterm on deinstall so CONFLICTS have been set accordingly. 20051105: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt33 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If the compilation of qt fails due to uic segfaulting (example: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.5/bin/uic -L /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.5/plugins listboxeditor.ui -i listboxeditor.h -o listboxeditor.cpp *** Signal 11) delete your old .qt directories: rm -r ~/.qt /root/.qt 20051105: AFFECTS: all users of gnome/glib/gtk AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.12 and gtk/glib to 2.8. DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update your ports. Instead, use the gnome_upgrade.sh script from http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh 20051104: AFFECTS: users of www/trac AUTHOR: rui@ruilopes.com The Trac database schema was changed between versions 0.8 and 0.9. This port also started to use PySQLite 2 (SQLite 3). Existing environments must be upgraded before they can be used with Trac 0.9. The canonical update procedure for existing trac environments is: $ export TRAC_ENV=/path/to/trac/env $ # backup existing trac environment $ cp -Rp $TRAC_ENV $TRAC_ENV.backup # backup existing trac env $ # convert database from sqlite 2 to sqlite 3 format $ mv $TRAC_ENV/db/trac.db $TRAC_ENV/db/trac2.db $ sqlite $TRAC_ENV/db/trac2.db .dump | sqlite3 $TRAC_ENV/db/trac.db $ # upgrade trac environment $ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV upgrade $ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV resync $ /usr/local/bin/trac-admin $TRAC_ENV wiki upgrade Consult the full upgrade instructions at: http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracUpgrade 20051013: AFFECTS: users of www/mediawiki AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org www/mediawiki has now version 1.5. 1.4 version was preserved on www/mediawiki14 port. If you want to preserve your 1.4 installation, run this: # portupgrade -o www/mediawiki14 -f mediawiki 20051013: AFFECTS: users of mail/qmrtg AUTHOR: mij@bitchx.it Version 2.x marks a new generation for qmrtg and is no longer compatible with configuration files from old releases. Upgrading to 2.x version *requires* qmrtg (and possibly mrtg) configuration files to be adjusted manually starting from the .dist file included. 20051011: AFFECTS: users of www/amphetadesk AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org www/amphetadesk can only be ran under a user with a valid home directory since it stores its configuration information there. 20051010: AFFECTS: users of games/py-slune AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org games/py-slune has been removed to add in games/slune to reflect right name. 20051010: AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The Ant launcher script now uses javavmwrapper to pick a suitable JDK. Hence it is no longer needed to define JAVA_HOME for Ant to run. You may rather use and combination of JAVA_VERSION, JAVA_OS and JAVA_VENDOR. See javavm(1) for further information. However, you may still override this behavior using JAVACMD. The ANT_INCLUDE_SHARED_JARS variable used to be effective only when set to "YES" (case sensitive). It is now a defined/undefined switch and thus will be effective if defined, regardless of its value. 20051009: AFFECTS: users of games/py-balazar AUTHOR: mnag@FreeBSD.org games/py-balazar has been removed to add in games/balazar to reflect right name. 20051008: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/rdiff-backup, rdiff-backup-devel AUTHOR: lawrance@FreeBSD.org sysutils/rdiff-backup has been upgraded to version 1.0.1. This version is incompatible with the previous version. Users of rdiff-backup will need to redo their initial seed. rdiff-backup-devel has been removed. Users of rdiff-backup-devel should now use rdiff-backup instead. In this case there is no need to redo the initial seed. 20051006: AFFECTS: users of net/smokeping AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Smokeping has undergone a major upgrade to version 2.0.3. If you are upgrading from versions 1.x, the manpage 'smokeping_upgrade' may be of help. To verify the configuration file syntax, run 'smokeping --check'. 20051005: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/devilspie AUTHOR: jylefort@FreeBSD.org The configuration file format has changed. See /usr/X11R6/share/doc/devilspie/README for more details. 20051002: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/py-wxPython26 wxPython 2.6 has been split into py-wxPython26, py-wxPython26-unicode and py-wxPython26-common. Everyone should update to the new structure. # remove previous installation 1) pkg_delete 'py24-wxPython*2.6*' # update to new version 2) cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-wxPython26 3) make install clean 20050927: AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot AUTHOR: robin@isometry.net Dovecot has been upgraded to version 1.0a3 that breaks down backward compatibility with previous versions of dovecot. For information about upgrading existing dovecot installations one must consult with http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/UpgradingDovecot 20050923: AFFECTS: users of www/b2evo AUTHOR: chinsan.tw@gmail.com Database schema changed. Rerun the installation script, which can usually be found at http://your.site.com/b2evo/blogs/install 20050911: AFFECTS: users of mail/libspf2, mail/postfix, mail/postfix21, mail/postfix-policyd-spf, mail/exim AUTHOR: marcus@corp.grupos.com.br Now version 1.0.4 of libspf2 has repo copied from mail/libspf2 to mail/libspf2-10 and mail/libspf2 has updated to 1.2.5. mail/exim depends on mail/libspf2 and mail/postfix, mail/postfix21 and mail/postfix-policyd-spf depends on mail/libspf2-10. 20050907: AFFECTS: users of databases/metakit AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org The metakit build now enables python support by default. Everybody who was happy with their python-less metakit should begin specifying METAKIT_WITHOUT_PYTHON=yes on build. 20050904: AFFECTS: users of games/pvpgn AUTHOR: mek@mek.uz.ua sql_DB_layout.conf-sample: includes changes needed for the new "username" SQL field; if you update to 1.7.8 YOU MUST update this file too if you have your accounts on SQL bnetd.conf-sample: changed "servaddrs" directive to not be totally commented and be as ":" by default in bnetd.conf (if "servaddrs" is commented this means "bnetd" will not listen for b.net services at all) 20050902: AFFECTS: users of www/jakarta-tomcat55 AUTHOR: hq@FreeBSD.org The port installs a new RCng startup script which no longer uses tomcat55ctl to control the Tomcat daemon. Furthermore, the behavior of Tomcat may be configured through switches and variables from /etc/rc.conf. They are documented in the header of the RCng script: ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/jakarta-tomcat55.sh 20050902: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current AUTHOR: marcus@corp.grupos.com.br Now mail/postfix-current use OPTIONS menu instead of POSTFIX_OPTIONS batch. Please run "make config" and select your options in menu. 20050828: AFFECTS: users of net/py-bittorrent-devel and net/py-bittorrent-core-devel AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org Developer renamed most BitTorrent command line scripts: * btdownloadgui.py -> bittorrent.py * btdownloadheadless.py -> bittorrent-console.py * btdownloadcurses.py -> bittorrent-curses.py * btmaketorrentgui.py -> maketorrent.py * btmaketorrent.py -> maketorrent-console.py * btlaunchmany.py -> launchmany-console.py * btlaunchmanycurses.py -> launchmany-curses.py * bttrack.py -> bittorrent-tracker.py * btreannounce.py -> changetracker-console.py * btrename.py has been REMOVED, use maketorrent*.py * btshowmetainfo.py -> torrentinfo-console.py Check http://www.bittorrent.com/bittorrent_versions.html 20050804: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/kdeadmin3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org One data file has been moved from kdeadmin to kdelibs between KDE 3.4.1 and KDE 3.4.2. This means that *********if you currently have the kdeadmin port installed********* you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo). 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdeadmin-\[0-9\]\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdeadmin 20050728: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/sge and sysutils/sgeee AUTHOR: brooks@FreeBSD.org A port of SGE 6 has been installed in sysutils/sge. SGE 6 is significantly different from SGE 5 and an upgrade is only possible by removing the SGE 5 install and replacing it. The SGE vs SGEEE distinction has been removed in SGE 6 so the sgeee port was removed. The sge and sgeee ports were repo copied to sge53 and sgeee53 respectively and existing installations may continue to use them. 20050727: AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird-server AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org Changes in layout: * database directory has changed from /usr/local/firebird to /var/db/firebird * configuration files are placed in /usr/local/etc/firebird * common utilities have been moved to /usr/local/bin * suid-ed binaries have been moved to /usr/local/sbin Update inetd.conf/xinetd.conf to reflect new location of "fb_inet_server". 20050722: AFFECTS: All RELENG_6 and HEAD users of ports/packages, maintainers of ports that interact with the compat libraries. AUTHOR: kensmith@FreeBSD.org The shared library version number of all shared libraries built as part of the baseline system has been incremented in both RELENG_6 and HEAD. The overall goal is to make handling of the compat library infrastructure easier. Each new release branch will have different version numbers for all of the shared libraries and the compat ports can simply include all of the shared libraries from the previous release. If you update your system using normal cvsup/rebuild/reinstall mechanisms the old versions of the libraries will still be on your system so your old ports executables will continue to work. But you definitely should plan on recompiling and reinstalling all of your installed ports so they get relinked against the new libraries. If you don't take this step as time goes on "normal" updates and installs run the risk of having executables relying on both the new and old versions of the libraries which would cause big problems. It will take some time for the pre-built packages available on the FTP mirror sites to be rebuilt against the new libraries. If you want to update your ports using the pre-built packages watch the mailing lists for when the rebuilt packages become available. 20050710: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt33, x11/kdelibs3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you have compiled qt33 with the KDE_OPTIONS option checked (if your installed qt-package is called qt-copy-3.3.4 instead of qt-3.3.4, check with pkg_info), you should cvsup and recompile qt33 and everything depending on it: portupgrade -rf qt\* Previous versions of the qt33 port contained a patch that introduces binary incompatibility between unpatched qt33 and software compiled against a patched qt33. Symptoms of the binary incompatibility: Unresolved symbol warnings from various KDE/Qt applications (both during runtime or compiling/linking), "Could not start kdeinit" dialogs during KDE startup, kicker crashes during exiting KDE. 20050630: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org Due to several complaints, new (unsupported) option had been added to port Makefile: WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT. Starting with version 7667, NVidia has dropped support for numerous "legacy" GPUs, while this option allows to go with previous version of driver (this does not apply to older versions of FreeBSD, since you have to use version 6113 of driver (if you did not yet upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 or later) which has support for those GPUs). If you must use WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option, be sure to ``hold'' the package by making appropriate entry in your pkgtools.conf, otherwise portupgrade(1) will upgrade your port to latest NVidia release on the next run, which is probably not what you want. Refer to x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile for further details. 20050625: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/nut AUTHOR: Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de nut now installs a rcNG script for starting the Network UPS Tools daemons. To enable that at boot time, add the following into /etc/rc.conf[.local]: nut_enable="YES" 20050624: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.7. You should update everything depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see its manual page for details. 20050622: AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd-* AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org ProFTPd binary moved from ${PREFIX}/libexec to ${PREFIX}/sbin. People using proftpd with inetd must use ${PREFIX}/sbin/in.proftpd (or ${PREFIX}/sbin/proftpd which is just the same). Read the commit log and diffs for more information. 20050621: AFFECTS: users of net/cacti AUTHOR: sem@FreeBSD.org Because of users need to keep their DB configuration but config.php can't be saved on upgrading, I've moved DB settings in db-settings.php. So, you need to change db-settings.php and do not touch config.php anymore. 20050618: AFFECTS: users of alternate linux_base ports AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port. Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use ${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}). 20050610: AFFECTS: users of ftp/wget built with SSL (default) AUTHOR: sf@FreeBSD.org wget 1.10 now authenticates certificate of remote host before making a SSL connection. To make it work, you should have working CA root certificates list in /etc/ssl/cert.pem. If you don't have it there are options: a) install security/ca-roots port and you have done. b) install ftp/curl port and symlink it to /etc/ssl/cert.pem. ln -s /usr/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/cert.pem c) put your favorite one into certain place. 20050601: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Upgrading to 2005.1 is straightforward, but it is highly recommended to follow the upgrading instructions in the release notes: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.051/user/relnotes.txt 20050526: AFFECTS: users of mail/sylpheed-claws AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org Sylpheed-claws is updated to the GTK2 version now. This results in a new configuration directory. To keep your configuration from the GTK1 version you can cp -rp ~/.sylpheed .sylpheed-gtk2 before starting the GTK2 version for the first time, or cp -Rp ~/.sylpheed .sylpheed-gtk2/ when you have run the GTK2 version already. 20050524: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mpeg4ip and multimedia/mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 AUTHOR: ahze@FreeBSD.org Starting with version 1.3 mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installs libmp4av that mpeg4ip previously installed. It is advised to de-install mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and mpeg4ip before updating to mpeg4ip-1.3 or mpeg4ip-libmp4v2-1.3. If you have already updated mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 and mpeg4ip you should deinstall mpeg4ip and reinstall mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 before updating mpeg4ip. This does not affect users who just have mpeg4ip-libmp4v2 installed and not mpeg4ip. 20050523: AFFECTS: users of games/pvpgn AUTHOR: mek@mek.uz.ua The following has been changed in the bnetd.conf file (starting with version 1.7.7): - The old config variable `servername' has been renamed to `hostname'. - A new `servername' config variable has been introduced for server identification. 20050519: AFFECTS: users of www/squid AUTHOR: tmseck@netcologne.de Starting with 2.5.10, the cachemgr.cgi program uses a configuration file cachemgr.conf to control which hosts this program is allowed to manage. To prevent abuse, the configuration defaults to "localhost" only. Please see cachemgr.cgi(8) for further details. 20050517: AFFECTS: users of www/mod_perl2 and all ports depending on it AUTHOR: lars.eggert@gmx.net. API changed for mod_perl2 - existing code will break! The mod_perl2 developers have significantly changed the API in release candidate 2.0.0-RC5. These changes include changed names for core packages, causing software that uses the old API to fail with the new version. You need to update your code as described in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html 20050517: AFFECTS: users of databases/firebird AUTHOR: freebsd@galle.com.br The port was split into a -server and -client parts. The -server contains server binary, UDFs, and install all in ${PREFIX}/firebird. The -client contains libs, includes, client binaries, docs and examples. For migration delete the firebird port and install the -server and/or -client port afterwards. 20050512: AFFECTS: users of devel/svk AUTHOR: rafan@infor.org Since SVK 0.30, it is fast enough and PPerl causes some problems. Thus, the SVK port no longer supports WITH_PPERL knob. If you still want to use PPerl with it, please go and read: http://svk.elixus.org/?SVKAndPPerl for details. 20050511: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg{,-devel} AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org The latest FreeBSD CVS snapshot has been committed under multimedia/ffmepg-devel. In order to build it, you need to deinstall any ffmpeg ports first. # pkg_deinstall multimedia/ffmpeg Furthermore, video capture is no longer working in the latest version. Work is been done to overcome this. 20050511: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|contrib) AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org The PostgreSQL ports have been updated to latest versions. A security problem in the template database requires a simple SQL command to be run on each database. Because these problems are really incorrect system catalog entries, updating to a new release will NOT by itself solve the problems in an existing installation. See http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.315 for details. 20050501: AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml based applications and libraries AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org With the recent update of ocaml to 3.08.3 some API compatibility has been broken. It is a bit subtle so that some users might not notice it. However, updating all ocaml based applications and libraries are advised using the new compiler/interpreter version. Issue the following command: # portupgrade -rf 'ocaml*' 20050426: AFFECTS: users of mail/courier-authlib AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org mail/courier-authlib has been moved to security/courier-authlib and is now only a meta-port. Installing the meta-port installs security/ courier-authlib-base and no, one or more sub-ports regarding to what authentication methods you've chosen. Courier-authlib-base only provides you authentication via PAM. All ports depending on courier- authlib (at the time of writing, courier-imap, sqwebmail and maildrop) giving you the same choice the meta-port provides you. 20050421: AFFECTS: users of www/opera-devel 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 www/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 installation, 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 applications formerly available in their own ports were incorporated into KDE. This means that you will have to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple portupgrade -a will not work. Portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic behavior and crashes from applications launched until you log out and back in. 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdeartwork-\[0-9\]\* kdebase-\[0-9\]\* \ kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-\[0-9\]\* kdewebdev-\[0-9\]\* \ kde-\[0-9\]\* akregator\* phase\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdebase kdeartwork kdewebdev Changes in detail: - www/akregator is now included into deskutils/kdepim3. - x11-themes/phase is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3. - www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated into x11/kdebase3. - Juk has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now available as audio/juk. - Akode has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now available as audio/akode and audio/akode-plugins-*. Akode is also a default dependency of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 now. - audio/mpeglib_artsplug has been demoted to legacy status and is no longer the default decoder backend for kdemultimedia3. It's also not depended on by kdemultimedia3 by default anymore. Known post-updating issues: - If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update: rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc Then log out of KDE and back in again (also see http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.php#q16). - kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc. You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations by running (as root or with sudo) genkdmconf Make sure to backup your old kdm configuration (usually found in /usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an invalid configuration. Especially note that kdm does not use the Xservers file anymore. A genkdmconf run will merge its contents into kdmrc. 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, x11-wm/boxtools, x11-wm/bbkeys, and x11-wm/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 superseded 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, x11-fonts/mkitalic, and x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic AUTHOR: koma2@ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp The dependency on x11-fonts/mkbold and x11-fonts/mkitalic has been switched over to x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, which is written in C and has far better performance than the old ones. There is no functional difference between the two, but they will conflict with each other. Since other ports which depend on x11-fonts/mkbold or x11-fonts/mkitalic will be updated to depend on x11-fonts/mkbold-mkitalic, you might get an error during upgrading such ports. In such a case, please pkg_delete the old ones first. 20050206: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX and japanese/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org print/teTeX is now based on a teTeX 3.0 release candidate (2.99.13.20050204) and the other related ports are also updated. Since upgrading from previous versions should be done at a time, you may want to use the portupgrade utility or reinstall print/teTeX after deinstalling all of the related ports. If your teTeX environment became broken during the upgrade, please see the following URL which explains how to fix it. http://people.freebsd.org/~hrs/tetex-upgrade.txt This file also includes notes for people who are familiar with the teTeX distribution to explain structure of the ports. 20050205: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby16_r, lang/ruby18_r, and lang/ruby18 AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org The slippery pthread support for systems prior to 502102 has been dropped and lang/ruby16_r and lang/ruby18_r ports have been removed, since no one seems to appreciate the partially working solution. Good news is that the pthread support of lang/ruby18 is now enabled by default for newer systems, which means the ruby interpreter is linked with libpthread. This will allow threaded extension libraries to run and work properly on those systems. 20050201: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5 has been updated to 5.6.2, and lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.6. you should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl installation (use either lang/perl5 or lang/perl5.8, the latter being recommended); * for FreeBSD 4.X, run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.6 or 5.6.2; this step is not needed on FreeBSD 5.X and FreeBSD -CURRENT; * run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like : portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5\* |tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.[68].[1245] -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards by hand. 20050130: AFFECTS: users of PostgreSQL AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org Each of the PostgreSQL ports have been split into a server and a 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 maintenance 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 cad/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 committed 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 configuration 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 behavior and crashes from applications launched during the update. 1.) First, make sure your ports index is up to date. cd /usr/ports && make index or, if you're using the sysutils/portindex port portindex 2.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdeaddons-kontact-plugins-\* \ kdeaddons-kaddressbook-plugins-\* kdepim-\* kdeutils-\* \ kdeaddons-\[0-9\]\* kde-\[0-9\]\* kdegraphics now conflicts with the kolourpaint package and kdeedu now conflicts with the kwordquiz package. If you have kwordquiz and/or kolourpaint installed on your system and you want to use the kdegraphics/ kdeedu ports, you should first deinstall the conflicting packages: pkg_deinstall -f kolourpaint\* kwordquiz\* 3.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade arts\* kde\* quanta\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a Note that the quanta port has been renamed to kdewebdev. The commands above will automatically replace quanta with kdewebdev, if you have quanta installed. 4.) Reinstall any KDE ports you deleted in step 2. Note that the kdeaddons- kontact-plugins (net/kontact-plugins), kdepim-kpilot (palm/kpilot) and quanta (www/quanta) ports/packages do not exist anymore and cannot be reinstalled. Known post-updating issues: - If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update: rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc Then log out of KDE and back in again. - KMail has been heavily modified since KDE 3.2.x. Testing shows that KMail can display erratic behavior and crashes after the update. If you see any such behavior, it is recommended to simply close KMail and start it again until it resumes normal operation. The integration of GnuPG and KMail for signing, encrypting and verifying PGP/MIME mail has also changed. A quick howto is available at http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/gnupg-kmail.php. - kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc. You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations by running genkdmconf Make sure to backup your old kdmrc (usually found in /usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an invalid configuration. - 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.)

Run, as root: genkdmconf (without any options) to update your kdmrc to the latest 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 X.Org AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade: pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-* cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install pkgdb -F Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process. Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages: cd /var/db/pkg portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 imake-4* portupgrade -o x11/xorg-libraries XFree86-libraries portupgrade -o x11/xorg-clients XFree86-clients 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-miscbitmaps 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 split into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features. Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions). PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions to install can be chosen via the meta-ports lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular extensions individually. If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled into the PHP binary. For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use the command "php -m". 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 behavior, build the port with WITH_RCORDER=yes. Setting WITH_OPENLDAP_VER and WITH_MYSQL_VER do not automatically imply the corresponding WITH_ variable. The use of these options is discouraged, use the global settings (WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER) to set system wide defaults. 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 personalized configuration file (milter-sender.cf). The meaning of the MxAcceptsAllAction variable has changed and its default has changed from 4 to 6. If this variable is not updated, greylisting might be more aggressive than expected. 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 lang/php4 and lang/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 lang/ruby* and sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386. If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default, please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8: 1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be installed): pkg_delete portupgrade-\* (cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean) 2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8 instead: portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16 3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks): portupgrade -f lang/ruby18 4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia): pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16 5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again. Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and reinstall portupgrade as a last resort. 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-\* $FreeBSD$
