This strategy has two disadvantages; over time your + configuration became based on different versions of the sample + configuration, also major changes to the sample configuration could + leave your configuration in a confusing state. + + From version 2.0.5, your configuration is not touched if any + configuration files have been modified. + + You are recommended to track changes in the sample configuration and + keep your configuration in a version control system. I use + Subversion (see the devel/subversion port) to track my + changes. Keeping the sample configuration in a 'vendor branch' (see + the Subversion book for more details) allows easy merging of changes + from the sample configuration. + + *** IMPORTANT *** + + You are urged to move your configuration out of the default location + (/usr/local/etc/raddb) before upgrading from 2.0.4 (or earlier) + to 2.0.5 (or later). Once this upgrade is complete, remove the sample + configuration that has been installed in the default location and + move your configuration back to the default location. + + This is a one time procedure that will prevent unmodified files in + your configuration from being deleted from your configuration and not + restored during the upgrade. No customised files will be lost in any + circumstances. + + The sample configuration in 2.0.5 has been reorganised: the + configuration of most modules is now in the modules directory rather + than in radiusd.conf. You are urged to rearrange your configuration + to match this layout. + + There are several improvements in this version of the port, including + a new pkg-message that will help new FreeRADIUS users to get started + with the port, also new 'reload' and 'debug' commands for the rc.d + script. Enjoy! + 20080727: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox3 AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org |
