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.

AFFECTS: xorg users

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

The WITH_NEW_XORG setting has been activated by default on all versions

of FreeBSD, which allows us to have packages for xorg 1.12 and kde4.

Please be aware that on systems that only support syscons

switching virtual terminals or exiting X

results in a black screen or the last image of their desktop

(like a screenshot) being presented. Commands can still be typed blindly.

Most, if not all, systems should be using vt(4) and this can be enabled

by setting kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to activate.

20141001:

AFFECTS: xorg users

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

The WITH_NEW_XORG setting has been activated by default on FreeBSD 10.0

and above, which allows us to have packages for xorg 1.12 and kde4.

Please be aware that on systems that only support syscons

switching virtual terminals or exiting X

results in a black screen or the last image of their desktop

(like a screenshot) being presented. Commands can still be typed blindly.

Most, if not all, systems should be using vt(4) and this can be enabled

by setting kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to activate.

20140930:

AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop

AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

Due to the way pkg works please note that the configuration

variables MAILDROP_SUID and MAILDROP_SGID, despite keeping their

old names, are now required to contain a valid username and

groupname existing on the system in which the package will be

installed, while in the past numeric uids and gids worked fine.

Wrong values will cause pkg to skip installing the setuid binaries

on the system.

Please check your configuration.

20140930:

AFFECTS: users of finance/gnucash

AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

The new version of gnucsh requires guile 2.0. If the update fails

because the old guile 1.8 library is still present you will need

to manally remove gnucash, guile and, if installed, boehm-gc:

# pkg delete gnucash guile boehm-gc

and then install gnucash again the usual way.

20140929:

AFFECTS: users of comms/usbmuxd

AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org

libusbmuxd.so was split from comms/usbmuxd into comms/libusbmuxd.

Remove usbmuxd before upgrading to avoid conflicts:

# pkg delete -f usbmuxd

If you need the daemon usbmuxd(1), you can reinstall the package

after the upgrade.

20140928:

AFFECTS: users of deskutils/calibre

AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

The dependency on graphics/py-imaging in calibre has been changed

to using the graphics/py-pillow port.

Due to this change automatic updating of the port will not work

correctly.

It is suggested to remove calibre and py-imaging from the system

and then reinstall calibre again using binary packages or ports.

20140927:

AFFECTS: users of net/foreman-proxy

AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org

In version 1.6 Foreman Smart Proxy splits its configuration into multiple

ruby files located in PREFIX/etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d.

The configuration of each service (dhcp, dhs, bmc, etc.) has been moved

into a dedicated file.

You can use a bundled script to convert your old settings to new settings:

PREFIX/share/foreman/extra/migrate_settings.rb

20140926:

AFFECTS: users of shells/bash

AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

Bash supports a feature of exporting functions in the environment with

export -f. Running bash with exported functions in the environment will

then import those functions into the environment of the script being ran.

This resulted in security issues CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169, commonly

known as "shellshock". It also can result in poorly written scripts being

tricked into running arbitrary commands.

To fully mitigate against this sort of attack we have applied a non-upstream

patch to disable this functionality by default. You can execute bash

with --import-functions to allow it to import functions from the

environment. The default can also be changed in the port by selecting the

IMPORTFUNCTIONS option.

20140926:

AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk and net/asterisk11

AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

The asterisk ports have been modified to have the LUA option

turned on by default to make such functionality available to users

of binary packages.

Some care should be taken before upgrading by people not using lua

to avoid the sample extensions.lua file from being loaded on reload

after updating the asterisk port/pkg.

Users compiling from ports not interested in LUA support are advised

to disable the option before updating.

People using binary packages(or not wanting to disable the LUA

option in the port) not using the lua functionality should add:

noload => pbx_lua.so

to the PREFIX/etc/asterisk/modules.conf file, if using the

autoload=yes option in that same file. People not autoloading

modules don't need to perform any special action.

If asterisk is rebooted and the pbx_lua module gets loaded on a

system were it should not, it will load the example extensions.lua

configuration file adding unexpected logic to your dialplan. In

such a case following the above steps and reloading asterisk will

fix the problem.

20140922:

AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f10 and emulators/linux_base-c6

AUTHOR: xmj@FreeBSD.org

The complete drop-in replacement linux-c6 port infrastructure is in

ports and will shortly replace the current linux-f10- ports as default.

To switch to the linux-c6 infrastructure:

0. Back up all your vital information!

1. Remove the current linux base port and all linux-f10- ports:

# pkg delete -f linux_base-f10 linux-f10-\*

2. Add these lines to /etc/make.conf:

OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6

OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6

3. Make sure no Linux application is running.

4. Update the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf:

compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18

Make it take effect immediately:

# sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18

5. Install emulators/linux-c6.

These steps are usually sufficient. If there are difficulties, expand

step 1 to:

1a. Remove all ports which depend on the linux base port.

1b. Remove the linux base port.

1c. Clean the /compat/linux/ directory.

If there are any other difficulties not fixed by these extended steps,

please submit an issue report in Bugzilla and send an email to

FreeBSD's emulation@ mailing list.

20140909:

AFFECTS: users seeing build errors about missing *.la files

AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

We are in the process of adjusting or, if possible, removing libtool archives

(*.la files) from all ports because they can otherwise cause overlinking

between packages. This is the problem where in the dependency chain A->B->C

an extra link is added from A to C even if A does not use C directly. This

makes some updates to port C expensive because then both A and B have to be

rebuilt instead of just B.

This is mostly behind the scenes work that you won't notice. In fact most

ports have already been converted. You may however run into build errors

about missing *.la files if a port update in the past went wrong and left

behind *.la files with references to other *.la files that are no longer

there. In this case, please run the following command:

find /usr/local/lib -name '*.la' | xargs grep -l 'libfoo\.la' | xargs pkg which

(Replace libfoo\.la with the *.la file that is missing.)

This command will print a list of *.la files that refer to the missing *.la

file and what package they belong to. First, where it says "not found in the

datatbase", remove the *.la file. After removing all such files, where it

says "installed by package X", rebuild X. Eventually the list printed by

that command will be empty and the build error should be gone.

20140826:

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/pkg, ports-mgmt/pkg-devel

AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

Pkg has been updated to 1.3.7. This fixes registration and tracking of

shared libraries. All earlier versions of Pkg incorrectly marked some

shared libraries and used the wrong name for some.

Please note announcement for special instructions at:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-announce/2014-August/000086.html

- Users need to run 'pkg update -f' and 'pkg check -Ba' after upgrading to

pkg-1.3.7 and before updating any other packages. This avoids needing to

reinstall anything not needed due to changed shlibs.

For binary package users:

# pkg install ports-mgmt/pkg

# pkg update -f

# pkg check -Ba

# pkg upgrade

For port users:

# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg build deinstall install clean

# pkg check -Ba

- People building packages for serving to other systems need to rebuild

all packages with 1.3.7.

20140823:

AFFECTS: users of graphics/libjpeg-turbo

AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org

libjpeg-turbo installs its own unique library (libturbojpeg.so) and

a drop-in replacement for libjpeg.so. The drop-in replacement has been

split off into graphics/jpeg-turbo; libjpeg-turbo now installs only

libturbojpeg.so.

If you were using the libjpeg.so from graphics/libjpeg-turbo, you

should install graphics/jpeg-turbo AFTER upgrading the libjpeg-turbo

port.

20140823:

AFFECTS: users of TeXLive

AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org

TeXLive in Ports Collection has been updated to TL2014.

When upgrading print/texlive-base on a system which has

TL2012 packages, the following error may occur:

pkg-static: texlive-base-20140525 conflicts with texlive-texmf-20120701_4

Please remove texlive-texmf-20120701_4 first in that case.

If you still get a similar "conflict of install files" error,

please remove all of tex-* and texlive-* packages and then

see if ${PREFIX}/share/texmf-dist directory are empty. If not,

installing TeXlive can fail. Removing files in the directory

manually will fix the installation problem.

20140821:

AFFECTS: users of databases/db4, databases/db4[1-7]*

AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

HEADS UP: for some applications that store their data in Berkeley DB

databases, you may have to export the data before the upgrade and

reload it afterwards. Detailed instructions are at

<https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/BerkeleyDBCleanup>.

The older databases/db4* ports providing versions 4.0 to 4.7

inclusively have been removed, and 4.8 has been deprecated.

The default Berkeley DB version is now 5.3.

(6.x has a different license, but will be eligible as default on

systems that build ports from source and have db6 installed.)

All enabled and working ports have been changed such that they use

Berkeley DB 4.8 or newer, and an -exp run has been made.

After you have performed the first steps from the Wiki documentation,

and have arrived at a step that reads "build all applications", then

type as privileged user and without the hash sign:

# Tools/scripts/BDB-upgrade-helper.sh

The helper script requires that ports-mgmt/portmaster or

.../portupgrade is installed, will try to upgrade your applications

with either of these tools (portmaster preferred), and if that succeeds,

it will attempt to delete the packages if confirmed interactively.

20140815:

AFFECTS: users of graphics/ilmbase and graphics/OpenEXR

AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

The OpenEXR and ilmbase (Industrial Light and Magic) shared object

names have changed. You must rebuild all packages that require either

of these libraries, by using one of these commands:

# portmaster -r ilmbase -r OpenEXR

or

# portupgrade -fr graphics/ilmbase graphics/OpenEXR

The PORTREVISIONS of all ports that require ilmbase and/or OpenEXR

have been bumped.

20140810:

AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*

AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org

The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version

7.8.3 and Haskell Platform to 2014.2.0.0. Hence it is recommended to

rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports and the lang/ghc port

itself by one of the following commands:

# portmaster -w -r ghc

or

# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc

If you use pkg(8) then it is just safer to remove all the GHC-dependent

packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch.

Something alone these lines may work:

# pkg query "%ro" > ghc-pkgs.txt

# pkg delete -y lang/ghc

# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt | grep -Ev "/hs-(haskeline|terminfo|transformers|xhtml)"

20140803:

AFFECTS: users of security/p5-openxpki

AUTHOR: wg@FreeBSD.org

The following ports have been integrated into security/p5-openxpki:

security/p5-openxpki-client

security/p5-openxpki-client-scep

security/p5-openxpki-deployment

Before update make sure to remove the old packages:

# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-client

# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-client-scep

# pkg remove security/p5-openxpki-deployment

20140802:

AFFECTS: users of astro/stellarium

AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org

Stellarium was updated to version 0.13.0. It's a new major release, and

it is based on Qt version 5 now. For those who are not comfortable with

upgrading to the new Qt, previous Stellarium version (0.12.4) was copied

over to `astro/stellarium-qt4' port.

20140731:

AFFECTS: users of www/ajaxplorer

AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

The ajaxplorer project was renamed to pydio.

Due to this update some manual steps will need to be performed

after updating the port.

IMPORTANT: Perform a backup of the ajaxplorer installation and

the databases backing it(if you're using that feature).

First manually remove the ajaxplorer port and install www/pydio

afterwards.

Further steps will be available in the pkg-message, which can

be shown with these commands:

# pkg info -D pydio

# pkg_info -D pydio

Please also read the upgrading notes at:

http://pyd.io/pydio-core-5.2.0#Upgrading

20140728:

AFFECTS: users of net/GeoIP

AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org

GeoIP no longer ships with the GeoIP database. To continue using GeoIP,

you MUST fetch the database after upgrading by running geoipupdate.sh.

20140727:

AFFECTS: users of comms/qpage

AUTHOR: marino@FreeBSD.org

The default configure file location has changed from

${LOCALBASE}/etc/qpage.cf to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/qpage.conf

You will likely want to move the old configure file to the new location

after updating if it contains custom settings.

20140725:

AFFECTS: users of cad/netgen

AUTHOR: stephen@FreeBSD.org

Before you update this port the old one should be removed. (This is

because the build may try to link to libraries that are in

${LOCALBASE}/lib rather than in ${WRKSRC}.)

20140724:

AFFECTS: users of dns/mydns-ng

AUTHOR: danilo@FreeBSD.org

The dns/mydns-ng port no longer has the suffix (-mysql|-pgsql). Before

you update this port the old one must be removed:

pkg remove mydns-ng-mysql

or

pkg remove mysql-ng-pgsql

20140723:

AFFECTS: users of devel/libevent

libevent1 has been replaced by libevent2 via the compatibility layer.

All applications that used libevent1 must be rebuilt.

Please remove libevent1 before upgrading, by running:

pkg delete -f libevent

20140723:

AFFECTS: users of security/scanlogd

AUTHOR: tgyurci@gmail.com

The security/scanlogd port now creates scanlogd user and group. Previous

scanlogd user and group must be removed before updating to not conflict

with the one created by the port:

pw userdel scanlogd

pw groupdel scanlogd

20140723:

AFFECTS: users of TeX

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

TeXLive is now the default teX provider.

Please remove all TeX-related packages based on teTeX.

20140722:

AFFECTS: users of mail/exim

AUTHOR: vsevolod@FreeBSD.org

The behaviour of expansion of arguments to math comparison functions (<,

<=, =, =>, >) was unexpected, expanding the values twice. Please update

your configuration if you have relied on such an expansion.

20140722:

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mediainfo

AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org

mediainfo has been split into 3 ports: libzen, libmediainfo and mediainfo.

Please uninstall mediainfo before you update this port.

20140722:

AFFECTS: users of games/bsdgames

AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org

Please disregard any prior instructions about moving your game data to

/usr/local/var/games. If you have done this, please move it back to

/var/games.

20140714:

AFFECTS: users of databases/db6

AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

Oracle Berkeley DB 6 has been upgraded to version 6.1.19. Since the

previous 6.0 version, the log file format has changed in 6.1.

Depending on applications used, you may need to take action BEFORE you

upgrade. For details, please see the online upgrade manual at

<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_04/html/upgrading/upgrade_process.html>

<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_04/html/installation/upgrade_61_toc.html>

Note: if you've got Apache installed and depending on db6, you may

need to upgrade it separately BEFORE upgrading other ports, such as

Apache modules.

After that, you must rebuild all applications that link to db6 because

the shared library name has changed with the upgrade. To do that:

If you use portmaster:

portmaster -w -r db6-

If you use portupgrade:

portupgrade -fr databases/db6

20140714:

AFFECTS: users of net/linphone-base

AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

Linphone has been updated to version 3.7.0 and the linphone-base port

has been split into separate components. You must first delete the

linphone-base package before you can update ports that depend on it.

pkg del -f linphone-base

or

pkg_delete -f linphone-base\*

20140713:

AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current

AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org

This is a significant update; so, please carefully review the

RELEASE_NOTES to identify which incompatible changes impact your

environment. Of particular note are changes to the Postfix

build/install procedure.

Please backup main.cf, master.cf and any other important files

associated with your Postfix setup before updating.

20140713:

AFFECTS: users of www/apache22

AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org

The default version was changed from www/apache22 to www/apache24,

pre-build apache modules and web applications will also reflect this!

In case ports are build by yourself and apache22 is required

use the following command to keep apache22 as default.

# echo "DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=apache=2.2" >> /etc/make.conf

20140710:

AFFECTS: users of lang/rust

AUTHOR: robak@FreeBSD.org

The lang/rust port was updated to 0.11 and is now only working on FreeBSD

versions 10 and 11 -- the 9.x support has been removed by upstream.

20140709:

AFFECTS: users of security/pam-pgsql

AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org

The pam_pgsql.so module is now installed in PREFIX/lib (/usr/local/lib)

instead of /usr/lib.

20140627:

AFFECTS: Users of Java

AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org

The default version of OpenJDK has been updated from 1.6 to 1.7. To update,

users of Java will need to rebuild all ports that depend on Java:

If you use pkg (regardless of if you build ports from source or install

binary packages):

# pkg set -o java/openjdk6:java/openjdk7

If you use portmaster to build ports from source:

# portmaster -o java/openjdk7 openjdk6

# portmaster -R -r openjdk

If you use portupgrade to build ports from source:

# portupgrade -fo java/openjdk7 java/openjdk6

If you use pkg to install prebuilt binary packages:

# pkg install -fR java/openjdk7

If you wish to keep the 1.6 version as default, add the following lines to

your /etc/make.conf file:

#

# Keep OpenJDK 1.6 as default version.

#

JAVA_PREFERRED_PORTS=JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_OPENJDK_JDK_1_6

20140627:

AFFECTS: users of security/amavisd-milter

AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org

The default working directory of security/amavisd-milter have been

changed to /var/run/amavis/. Users will have to adjust path to the

milter socket.

20140627:

AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs21 and editors/emacs22

AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org

editors/emacs21, and editors/emacs22 are removed as they were

unmaintained upstream for a while. Their dependent ports are removed

as well. Please switch to editors/emacs (Emacs 24 release), or

editors/emacs23 (Emacs 23 release), or editors/emacs-devel (Emacs

development branch) ports.

20140626:

AFFECTS: users of mail/qmail-spamcontrol

AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

Spamcontrol has been updated to the 2.7 release.

It is advised to read the release notes as some features were removed and

others reworked.

http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/spamcontrol/RELEASE_27.spamcontrol

2.7 manual: http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/spamcontrol/README_spamcontrol.html

20140626:

AFFECTS: users of comms/smstools3

AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org

The smstools3 startup screen has been modified to allow smsd to

change uid/gid by itself. The rc options smsd_logfile, smsd_user

and smsd_group are not supported anymore, user, group and log

filename should be specified in the configuration file.

The sample configuration file has been updated to have defaults

equivalent to the old ones.

20140624:

AFFECTS: users of databases/p5-Bucardo

AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

The bucardo_ctl script has been renamed to bucardo, so, to follow the naming,

the bucardo_ctl_enable rc variable has been renamed to bucardo_enable.

20140622:

AFFECTS: users of security/gpgme

AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org

If you have both security/gnupg AND security/gnupg1 installed, gpgme will

now automatically detect and use security/gnupg. Specifically, it will

search for gpgconf(1) first and use the paths for the binaries provided

by it. Failing that, it will search for a binary named "gpg".

It is no longer possible to specify the location of the gpg binary at

buildtime to differentiate between version 1.x and version 2.x. The port

options GNUPG1 and GNUPG2 now merely add their respective versions of gnupg

as build and runtime dependencies.

20140618:

AFFECTS: users of devel/m17n-* textproc/*m17n*

AUTHOR: Nikola Lecic <nikola.lecic@anthesphoria.net>

devel/m17n-db now incorporates a set of user-contributed input methods and

a conversion script, formerly available through textproc/m17n-contrib.

Delete textproc/m17n-contrib first and then update/install devel/m17n-db.

20140616:

AFFECTS: users of devel/subversion

AUTHOR: lev@FreeBSD.org

The subversion port has been overhauled. Some optional parts were extracted

into separate ports. These ports are:

www/mod_dav_svn

instead of option MOD_DAV_SVN.

security/subversion-gnome-keyring

instead of option GNOME_KEYRING.

security/subversion-kwallet

instead of option KDE_KWALLET.

If you used devel/subversion with one (or more) of these non-standard

options, you should install the appropriate port(s) after upgrading

subversion.

"mod_dontdothat" is installed unconditionally by www/mod_dav_svn port (it

depended on the TOOLS option before), but is not activated by default, you

may need to edit apache's configuration file.

The devel/subversion port now installs svndiff, svndiff3 and svndiff4

commands if TOOLS option is enabled. They was skipped before.

The official names "diff", "diff3" and "diff4" are prefixed with "svn" to

avoid conflicts with base and other diff versions.

All libraries and binaries are now stripped if the MAINTAINER_DEBUG

option is not selected (including all sub-ports, like bindings

and mod_dav_svn).

20140611:

AFFECTS: users of devel/icu

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

icu has been updated to 53.1. Please rebuild all ports that depend on it

If you use portmaster:

portmaster -w -r icu

If you use portupgrade:

portupgrade -fr devel/icu

20140610:

AFFECTS: users of www/firefox, www/seamonkey, mail/thunderbird, www/libxul

AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org

Gecko ports were switched to use more system libraries. Some of them

must be built with certain options unset (default). `audio/soundtouch'

has to be installed with INTEGER_SAMPLES option disabled.

20140604:

AFFECTS: users of dns/dnscrypt-proxy

AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org

The 1.4.0 update to dns/dnscrypt-proxy introduced a privilege

separation capability utilizing the new _dnscrypt-proxy user.

The home directory for this user was misconfigured as /nonexistent.

The dnscrypt-proxy server will try to chroot to _dnscrypt-proxy's home

directory and fail to start. If you are affected you will need to

change _dnscrypt-proxy's home directory to /var/empty:

# pw usermod _dnscrypt-proxy -d /var/empty

20140603:

AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/zetacoin

AUTHOR: daniel@morante.net

The zetacoind process now runs as the zetacoin user. Please make sure that

this user has appropriate permissions to the blockchain database and wallet

directory.

If you are using the default path, run:

# chown -R zetacoin:zetacoin /var/db/zetacoin

# chown -R zetacoin:zetacoin /.zetacoin

20140529:

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|client)

AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

PostgreSQL version 9.2 is now the default. To upgrade from a version

lower than 9.2, follow the instructions on the PostgreSQL.org website.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/upgrading.html

When using binary packages, if you only use the client port, you can issue

the following command to follow the default version:

# pkg set -o databases/postgresql90-client:databases/postgresql92-client

20140528:

AFFECTS: users of security/calife & security/calife-devel

AUTHOR: roberto@FreeBSD.org

Calife 2.8.x is now officially EoL. Replace it with 3.0 (formerly

calife-devel).

For port builds system please follow the following instructions:

Please delete old version:

# pkg delete -f security/calife-devel

or

# pkg_delete security/calife-devel

and install security/calife.

Change origin if you had the old one:

# pkg set -o security/calife-devel:security/calife

20140527:

AFFECTS: users of databases/db6

AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

Oracle BerkeleyDB 6.0 was upgraded to version 6.0.30. Databases that

use BLOBs need to be upgraded using db_upgrade-6.0 before they can be

accessed again. See the manual for details:

<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_03/html/api_reference/C/db_upgrade.html>

Databases that do not use BLOBs are unaffected.

20140526:

AFFECTS: users of lang/lua

lang/lua has been relaced by lang/lua51

For port builds system please follow the following instructions:

# portmaster -o lang/lua51 lang/lua

or

# portupgrade -fo lang/lua51 lang/lua

or

# pkg set -o lang/lua:lang/lua51

20140525:

AFFECTS: users of devel/py-gobject3 and devel/py-dbus

AFFECTS: users of databases/mariadb55*

AUTHOR: grembo@FreeBSD.org

The mariadb55-client and mariadb55-server port have been changed to

respect hier(7) and behave like the mysql ports. Therefore mysql-server

and mysql monitor will refuse to start if my.cnf exists in /etc or

/etc/mysql.

In case you're affected, please move /etc/my.cnf to /usr/local/etc and/or

/etc/mysql/my.cnf to /usr/local/etc/mysql.

AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portshaker

AUTHOR: romain@FreeBSD.org

ports-mgmt/portshaker was updated to avoid creating an aditional 'ports'

subdirectory when merging to a poudriere_tree without ZFS, so that

portshaker's default location matches poudriere's default location.

Users of poudriere on non-ZFS systems should not anymore have to pass extra

options to poudriere for it to find the ports tree.

20140506:

AFFECTS: users of security/yassl

AFFECTS: users of graphics/gdal

AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org

Due to changes in header files, please deinstall gdal first while updating

from 1.9.x/1.10.x to 1.11.x.

20140420:

AFFECTS: users of net/samba4

AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org

Samba4 port now re-uses the same logic and startup script as Samba41. So,

to get net/samba4 runing you need to rename samba4_enable in /etc/rc.conf

to the samba_sever_enable.

samba_server_enable="YES"

Startup script tries it's best to guess which out of samba/nmbd/smbd/winbindd

daemons have to be started, but you can fine tune this by specifying them in

rc.conf, just make sure that samba_server_enable is enabled(see entry for 20121022).

AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg graphics/dri graphics/libGL and related ports

AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org

The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD 10-STABLE and

FreeBSD 9-STABLE.

To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports, it is

necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports.

No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg ports but it is

necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports that

depend on the xserver version, including

emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Portrevisions have been bumped

where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will need to

recompile those.

If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to

specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg

distribution.

For users in need of working console when using KMS drivers (intel and

radeon graphics cards) please use the new vt(9) console driver.

For more information, see https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics and

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons .

To update:

# pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\*

or

# pkg delete -f libGL dri

followed by

# portmaster graphics/dri graphics/libGL

or

# portupgrade graphics/dri graphics/libGL

and then

# portmaster -a

or

# portupgrade -a

AFFECTS: users of print/freetype2 textproc/libxml2 x11/pixman

x11/libxcb and graphics/freeglut

AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org and gnome@FreeBSD.org

The library version of the above libraries has been brought in line

with what upstream expects. To do this all users of these ports need

to be rebuilt. Portrevisions have been bumped as a consequence.

# portmaster -r freetype2 -r libxml2 -r pixman -r freeglut -r libxcb

or

# portupgrade -rf freetype2 libxml2 pixman freeglut libxcb

20140415:

AFFECTS: Users of mod_python3

AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org

www/mod_python3 was renamed to www/mod_python33, additional www/mod_python35

with support for apache24 was added to the portstree.

To reflect the new port location use:

pkgng users:

# pkg set -o www/mod_python3:www/mod_python33

portmaster users:

# portmaster -o www/mod_python33 www/mod_python3

portupgrade users:

# portugrade -o www/mod_python33 www/mod_python3

20140414:

AFFECTS: Users of dmd 1.X and dmd 2.x.

AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org

lang/dmd and lang/dmd2 have switched places. Dmd 1.x is no longer supported

by digitalmars.com and is now the secondary dmd port in the collection.

Dmd2 is the primary port. What this means to dmd users is that dmd1 is now

used to invoke dmd 1.x and the dmd command (instead of dmd2) now invokes

dmd 2.x.
