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. 20040813: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 (kdm) AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org If you are unable to login to X via kdm after portupgrading to the latest kdebase port and you're getting these or similar messages on the console /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[447]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup": No such file or directory /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[432]: Cannot execute startup script "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup" /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[448]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xreset": No such file or directory /kernel: Aug 13 17:12:12 kiste kdm: :0[458]: Can't execute "/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup": No such file or directory please do the following: 1.) Copy /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc away to a safe place, for example your home directory ( cp /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ~/ ) 2.) Run, as root: genkdmconf --no-old 3.) Put your copy of kdmrc back to /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (cp ~/kdmrc /usr/local/share/config/kdm/ ) Optional step 4.) Run, as root: genkdmconf (without any options) to update your kdmrc to the lastest configfile format Note for advanced users: Substitute /usr/local with your custom PREFIX if you're using one. 20040730: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org, mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. you should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation. * run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.5. * now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like : portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 |tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards. Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary, if you are upgrading from 5.8.4. But it is cleaner to do so anyway. 20040726: AFFECTS: users of devel/apache-ant AUTHOR: glewis@FreeBSD.org The update to Ant 1.6.2 introduces the following changes which may break older environments, according to the 1.6.2 release notes: . The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505. . ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has always been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar. . All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception giving the location in the buildfile of the task. . Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace. . will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1. 20040724: AFFECTS: users for xorg and GNOME AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org After migrating from XFree86 to X.Org, you must rebuild x11-toolkits/libwnck and x11/libxklavier for full GNOME functionality to be restored. If you receive an XKB initialization error when starting GNOME, edit your XF86Config or xorg.conf, and remove the line: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" 20040723: AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of xorg AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade: pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-* cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install pkgdb -F Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process. 20040719: AFFECTS: users of PHP AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been splitted into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features. Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions). PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular extensions individually. If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled into the PHP binary. For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use the command "php -m". 20040717: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap21{,-sasl}-client AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default. To upgrade all ports do portupgrade -rfo net/openldap22-client openldap-client (or a similar command for the SASL variant). If you do not want to upgrade, add the line `WANT_OPENLDAP_VER?=21' to /etc/make.conf Note that when you want to upgrade openldap21{,sasl}-server, you have to use slapcat/slapadd to migrate the database, since the internal format is not binary compatible. Simply upgrading the server without doing a slapcat first can corrupt your database. 20040717: AFFECTS: users of mail/exim on FreeBSD 5.x AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The default location of the startup script has been changed to ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d. When you depend on the previous behaviour, build the port with WITH_RCORDER=yes. Setting WITH_OPENLDAP_VER and WITH_MYSQL_VER do not automatically imply the corresponding WITH_ varibale. The use of these options is discouraged, use the global settings (WANT_OPENLDAP_VER and DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER) to set system wide defaults. 20040709: AFFECTS: users of mail/sender-milter AUTHOR: vs@FreeBSD.org Milter-sender version 0.58 released. When updating to version 0.58, beware if you have a personalised configuration file (milter-sender.cf). The meaning of the MxAcceptsAllAction variable has changed and its default has changed from 4 to 6. If this variable is not updated, greylisting might be more aggressive than expected. 20040708: AFFECTS: users of www/opera AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org Opera 7.52 released. The file search.ini has been changed to ensure correct default addresses for dictionary and encyclopedia searches. Existing versions will be overwritten on upgrade. Users who have a customized search.ini file that they would like to keep, should edit its version number to 4 before upgrading. Note that you have to edit the search.ini file located in the /.opera folder. [Version] File Version=4 Other changes you are may find in changelog, its available at http://www.opera.com/freebsd/changelogs/752/ 20040706: AFFECTS: users of Python bindings for textproc/lib{xml2,xslt} libraries AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org Python bindings for libxml2 and libxslt libraries were moved out into separate slave ports. Please install textproc/py-libxml2 and textproc/py-libxslt to get bindings back to your system. 20040703: AFFECTS: users of net/netatalk-devel AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Netatalk-devel has been converted to use RCng. That means all of the netatalk daemons must be enabled in /etc/rc.conf before they will start (previously, all netatalk daemons would start by default). The following variables are used by the new netatalk.sh script: atalkd_enable cnid_metad_enable papd_enable afpd_enable timelord_enable See the netatalk.sh script for more details. 20040701: AFFECTS: users of security/portaudit AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The preference file format, as well as the periodic(8) names have changed. If you use the default settings, no modifications are necessary. new settings in /usr/local/etc/portaudit.conf: portaudit_fetch_env="HTTP_PROXY=" portaudit_fetch_cmd="fetch -1amp" portaudit_sites="http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/" new settings in periodic.conf(5): daily_status_security_portaudit_enable="YES" daily_status_security_portaudit_expiry="2" daily_status_security_portaudit_user="nobody" 20040629: AFFECTS: users of net/daapd AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org Daapd must now be enabled in rc.conf. Add this to your /etc/rc.conf: daapd_enable="YES" 20040626: AFFECTS: users of php4 and php5 with the PDFlib extension AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The PDFlib extension has been removed from the archive and moved to PECL. Consequently to enable it you have to install print/pecl-pdflib. Alternatively you may want to try the experimental print/pecl-panda. 20040625: AFFECTS: users of ftp/pure-ftpd AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org Pure-ftpd must be enabled in rc.conf now. Add this to your /etc/rc.conf: pureftpd_enable="YES" 20040622: AFFECTS: users of net/openslp AUTHOR: kuriyama@FreeBSD.org The openslp port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the script for details. 20040619: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/webmin and sysutils/usermin AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org The webmin and usermin ports must now be enabled in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-tetex AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The texmf.cnf file for pTeX is now installed in texmf/web2c-ptex. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/ptex-pkfonts* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The japanese/ptex-pkfonts* has been removed because pkfonts are already included in the teTeX distribution. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of japanese/xdvik-vflib* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The japanese/xdvik-vflib no longer supports VFlib2, and now depends on print/freetype2. For the configuration details, see vfontmap file which installed as texmf/xdvi/vfontmap. japanese/kochi-ttfonts is used for min and goth by default. xdvik-vflib-pk* variants has been removed because pkfonts are already included in the teTeX distribution. 20040618: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The print/teTeX has been split into print/teTeX-base and print/teTeX-texmf, and print/teTeX is now a meta-port for the two and print/dvipsk-tetex and print/xdvik. print/teTeX installs dvips and xdvi by default again (via print/dvipsk-tetex and print/xdvik). For people who want to use teTeX, simply install print/teTeX with options set by default. print/teTeX-base has additional options for adding xdvi and dvips included in the teTeX distribution itself, but use of them are not recommended if you do not understand what you are trying to do. Especially, when the options are set by yourself, do not install ports that match *xdvi* and *dvips* because they break the installed print/teTeX-base's dviware and such conflicts will not be detected. In most cases, a combination of print/teTeX-base + print/dvipsk-tetex + print/xdvik (which are installed by print/teTeX by default) will be sufficient. 20040615: AFFECTS: users of www/firefox AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org The firefox-0.9 update has a special requirement before you can run it. You must first run firefox as root before running it as another user. The best way to do this is to su - to root or log in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run ``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will not appear. 20040608: AFFECTS: users of net/haproxy AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org The haproxy port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040605: AFFECTS: users of www/apache2 AUTHOR: clement@FreeBSD.org The apache2 port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040602: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org, marius@FreeBSD.org sysutils/mkisofs and sysutils/mkisofs-devel were merged into sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/cdrtools-devel respectively. To update them generate ("make index") or fetch ("make fetchindex") a new INDEX/INDEX-5. Run "pkgdb -F" and unregister the mkisofs/-devel port. Then forcefully update the cdrtools port and all of its dependencies (e.g. "portupgrade -rf cdrtools"). After the update it may be necessary to rerun "pkgdb -F" and resolve a stale dependency to cdrtools. 20040531: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org, marcus@FreeBSD.org lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.4. you should update everything depending on perl, that is : * first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation. * run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.4. * now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like : portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.4 |tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterward. 20040529: AFFECTS: users of mail/mailman and japanese/mailman AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org In Mailman 2.1.5, some significant changes have been made to the file formats for qfiles and the pendings database. See $PREFIX/share/doc/mailman/UPGRADING for details (if you define NOPORTDOCS, refer relevant file in an archive). 20040527: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap22-client AUTHOR: eik@FreeBSD.org The OpenLDAP library soname has changed, requiring a recompilation of all dependent ports: portupgrade -rf net/openldap22-client 20040525: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-client AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org This port was removed because of dependencies problem. If you still want to have it, install databases/postgresql7 with -DWITHOUT_SERVER 20040521: AFFECTS: users of irc/ircd-hybrid-ru AUTHOR: krion@FreeBSD.org UID/GID were changed from 6667 to 555, please manually delete old entries from /etc/passwd /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group 20040514: AFFECTS: users of audio/faad AUTHOR: pav@FreeBSD.org If the compilation of faad fails, please manually delete older installed version of faad and reinstall from port. 20040512: AFFECTS: users of print/teTeX AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The print/teTeX no longer installs dvipsk by default. To build and install dvipsk, you have to specify WITH_DVIPSK, or the dvipsk utility in the print/teTeX is also available print/dvipsk-tetex separately. This change is to resolve conflicts between various versions of dvips. 20040504: AFFECTS: users of mail/drac AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The "drac_flags" rc.conf(5) variable has been renamed to "dracd_flags". See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040501: AFFECTS: users of www/apache13 AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The apache13 port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040429: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/smartmontools AUTHOR: nork@FreeBSD.org The smartmontools port must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message or script for details. 20040420: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cdrtools AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The cdrecord program now uses ${PREFIX}/etc (e.g. /usr/local/etc) instead of /etc/default as the location of the global configuration file. If you created such a configuration file you need to copy it over to the new location. 20040420: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you update KDE from version 3.2.1 or earlier to version 3.2.2 while running a KDE session, newly opened instances of Konqueror might hang or crash, depending on how far the update has progressed. If this happens, it is necessary to restart your KDE session in order to restore proper operations. 20040404: AFFECTS: GNOME desktop users AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org GNOME has been updated to 2.6. Simply portupgrading will cause serious problems if you are using the desktop itself. If you are a GNOME desktop user, you should carefully read the instructions at: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html And use the gnome_upgrade.sh script to properly upgrade to GNOME 2.6. If you are just a casual user of some of the GNOME libraries, portupgrade should be sufficient to update your ports. 20040316: AFFECTS: users of net/isc-dhcp3-* AUTHOR: des@FreeBSD.org The isc-dhcp3-* ports must now be enabled / disabled and configured in rc.conf. See the pkg-message for details. 20040313: AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2 AUTHOR: marcus@FreeBSD.org Users of expat2 (and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2 20040311: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql7 AUTHOR: osa@FreeBSD.org PostgreSQL 7.4.2 Released and release notes available at http://www.postgresql.org/news/173.html NOTICE: unlike most minor versions, this version does require some updates to the pg_* system tables. Full instructions for how to do this are included in the full HISTORY file. DO NOT UPGRADE WITHOUT READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 20040309: AFFECTS: users of x11/kdelibs3 and x11/kdebase3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org If you update kdelibs from version 3.2.0 to version 3.2.1 while running a KDE 3.2.0 session, newly opened instances of Konqueror will silently crash as soon as the new version of kdelibs has been installed, due to mismatching linker symbols. It is recommended you quit your KDE session at that point and update kdebase to version 3.2.1, then restart KDE. 20040309: AFFECTS: users of audio/arts and x11/kdebase AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org The arts port, PORTVERSION 1.2.1 does not include artswrapper anymore. Instead, artswrapper is now installed by a new port audio/artswrapper. Installation of artswrapper is optional, however: If you presently run KDE and you have "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)" checked in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/ Sound System and you choose to NOT install audio/artswrapper, you need to - Uncheck "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)" in Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System BEFORE updating arts OR - AFTER updating arts and kdebase, go to Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/ Sound System, click on the unchecked "Run with the highest possible priority (realtime priority)", dismiss the message telling you that realtime is un- available or artswrapper is missing and then click Apply. 20040305: AFFECTS: users of security/antivir-milter AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org When updating from a previous version of security/antivir-milter you have to do the following after deinstalling the old port: rm /AntiVir/antivir rm /AntiVir/antivir.vdf chown root:wheel /AntiVir chown root:smmsp /AntiVir/hbedv.key In your SENDMAIL_MC change `S=unix:/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m' to: `S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m' and rebuild sendmail.cf. If /var/spool/avmilter exist you have to: chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter If you are using a customized /etc/avmilter.conf the port won't remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User and Group to smmsp there. Afterwards you can install the new version of this port. You then should run antivirupdater to get a current VDF. 20040226: AFFECTS: i386 users of ruby and portupgrade AUTHOR: knu@FreeBSD.org Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386. If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default, please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8: 1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be installed): pkg_delete portupgrade-\* (cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean) 2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8 instead: portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16 3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks): portupgrade -f lang/ruby18 4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia): pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16 5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again. Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and reinstall portupgrade as a last resort. 20040204: AFFECTS: 5.2-CURRENT users who started with a 5.2-RELEASE or older. AUTHOR: obrien@FreeBSD.org Change the default version of perl to 5.8. 1) Force perl-5.6.1 to be upgraded with perl-5.8. portupgrade -o lang/perl5.8 -f perl-5.6.1_15 2) Update all p5-* modules. portupgrade -f p5-\* $FreeBSD$
