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. 20040429: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/smartmontools 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 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 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 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-* 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 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 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 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/kdebase 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 When updating from a previous version of security/antivir-milter you have to do the following after deinstalling the old port: rm /AntiVir/antivir rm /AntiVir/antivir.vdf chown root:wheel /AntiVir chown root:smmsp /AntiVir/hbedv.key In your SENDMAIL_MC change `S=unix:/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m' to: `S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m' and rebuild sendmail.cf. If /var/spool/avmilter exist you have to: chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter If you are using a customized /etc/avmilter.conf the port won't remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User and Group to smmsp there. Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then should run antivirupdater to get a current VDF. 20040226: AFFECTS: i386 users of ruby and portupgrade 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. 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-\* $FreeBSD$
