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: users of sysutils/bacula-server, sysutils/bacula-client

AUTHOR: rm@FreeBSD.org

If you have both sysutils/bacula-server and sysutils/bacula-client

installed, you need to pkg_delete them both prior to this update.

20120910:

AFFECTS: users of www/libxul

AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org

The www/libxul has been updated to 10.0 and the older version 1.9.2

has moved to www/libxul19.

If you want to stay with 1.9.2 please run the following command:

AFFECTS: users of irc/bitlbee, irc/irssi-otr, net-im/climm, net-im/mcabber, net/kdenetwork4, security/kopete-otr, security/py-otr

AUTHOR: Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>

The libotr library has been bumped in version 4.0.0, and the new version is

not compatible with the old. In order to make it possible for both versions

to coexist in the short term the old version has been moved to a new port.

If you are currently using pidgin-otr:

# pkg_delete -f pidgin-otr\*

Then:

# portmaster -o security/libotr3 security/libotr

# portmaster -r libotr

or

# portugrade -o security/libotr3 security/libotr

# portugrade -r libotr

20120902:

AFFECTS: users of www/apache22, www/apache22-event-mpm, www/apache22-itk-mpm, www/apache22-peruser-mpm, www/apache22-worker-mpm

AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org

directives are no longer valid.

Additional:

- APR only specific options like THREADS, MYSQL, PGSQL, SQLITE,

BDB and IPV6 where removed.

- PKGNAME has changed from apache-2... to apache22-2...

APR/APR-util such as apache, subversion ...

20120902:

AFFECTS: users of math/cantor and math/kalgebra

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

If you have both cantor and kalgebra installed, chances are that

your cantor installation is corrupted. If the file

${KDE4_PREFIX}/lib/kde4/cantor_kalgebrabackend.so is missing on

your system, rebuild cantor after updating kalgebra to 4.8.4_1 (or

later).

20120822:

AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk16, net/asterisk16-addons

AUTHOR: Florian Smeets <flo@FreeBSD.org>

asterisk16 has been unsupported upstream for a while now and has known

security vulnerabilities, therefore it was removed from the ports tree.

People still running net/asterisk16 should upgrade to net/asterisk.

First delete the asterisk addons, as they are part of asterisk now.

# pkg_delete -f asterisk16-addons\*

after that you can run one of the following

# portmaster -o net/asterisk net/asterisk16

or

# portupgrade -o net/asterisk net/asterisk16

After that you need to update your configuration. Take a look at the following

URL for the changes between 1.6 and 1.8

20120816:

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/cfengine*

AUTHOR: gjb@FreeBSD.org

The sysutils/cfengine* ports have been renamed as follows:

o sysutils/cfengine -> sysutils/cfengine22

o sysutils/cfengine3-legacy -> sysutils/cfengine32

o sysutils/cfengine3 -> sysutils/cfengine33

Users are reminded to update the port origins, for example:

# portmaster -o sysutils/cfengine22 sysutils/cfengine

or

or

# pkg set -o sysutils/cfengine:sysutils/cfengine22

20120815:

AFFECTS: users of lang/erlang

AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org

The lang/erlang port was updated to R15B01. Some port options

were updated, so be sure to run "make config" in the port directory

and check your configuration before upgrading.

To upgrade Erlang and rebuild all of the dependent ports under

the new environment:

# portmaster -r erlang

or

# portupgrade -r lang/erlang

20120815:

AFFECTS: users of lang/erlang-lite

AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org

The lang/erlang-lite port uses the same default options as

lang/erlang, which were changed some time ago.

The couchdb, rabbitmq, freeswitch-core and freeswitch-core-devel

ports have been updated to use lang/erlang rather than lang/erlang-lite.

Please check that your lang/erlang options are configured as you

wish (especially X11 support), then follow the instructions below

to update your dependencies.

# portmaster -o lang/erlang lang/erlang-lite

or

# portupgrade -fo lang/erlang erlang-lite

20120810:

AFFECTS: users of net-p2p/transmission-gtk2

AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org

Unfortunately Transmission 2.61 moved the requirement for GTK to version

3.2.0, which is not yet in our tree.

Those who wish to have a graphical client can either choose transmission-qt4

in the meantime, or switch to the transmission25 ports.

A script to generate appropriate commands can be found at:

http://people.FreeBSD.org/~crees/scripts/transmission25.sh

20120808:

AFFECTS: users of www/libmicrohttpd

AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org

or

# env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -fo editors/emacs23 editors/emacs

or

# pkg set -o editors/emacs:editors/emacs23

20120726:

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

AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org

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

must be built with certain options set (default).

- graphics/png has to be installed with APNG option

- databases/sqlite3 has to be installed with SECURE_DELETE, THREADSAFE,

FTS3, UNLOCK_NOTIFY options

20120726:

AFFECTS: users of devel/pkg-config

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

devel/pkg-config has been replaced by devel/pkgconf

20120725:

AFFECTS: users of chinese/fcitx

AUTHOR: lichray@gmail.com

The textproc/fcitx-keyboard port is merged into chinese/fcitx.

Before updating, be sure to

# pkg_delete -f fcitx-keyboard-\*

And make sure you have at least one keyboard layout based input method

enabled in fcitx-configtool, to keep the activation/deactivation of IM

panel working.

And, since chinese/fcitx-sunpinyin depends on an update to

chinese/sunpinyin

20120725:

AFFECTS: users of www/py-beautifulsoup

AUTHOR: rm@FreeBSD.org

Current www/py-beautifulsoup has been moved to www/py-beautifulsoup32,

since 4.1.1 is now current stable version.

# portmaster -o www/py-beautifulsoup32 www/py-beautifulsoup

20120723:

AFFECTS: users of security/snort

AUTHOR: zi@FreeBSD.org

The database output modules have been deprecated. If you need this

functionality please look at the security/barnyard2 port.

20120723:

AFFECTS: users of graphics/ImageMagick and graphics/ImageMagick-nox11

AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org

The options for ImageMagick have been changed to match commonly used

option names. If you are using a customized build, please reconfigure

your port options with "make config".

20120720:

AFFECTS: users of net/spread and net/spread4

AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org

The ports net/spread and net/spread4 are using now the

reserved UID/GID 282 instead (user|group)next.

20120722:

AFFECTS: users of mail/mutt

AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org

mail/mutt-devel has been moved to mail/mutt, since 1.5 has been around

for a while.

Should you wish to stick with version 1.4 at this time;

# portmaster -o mail/mutt14 mutt

20120721:

AFFECTS: users of audio/libogg

AUTHOR: naddy@FreeBSD.org

There is a new version of libogg (1.3.0) and the shared library version

has been bumped (ogg.7 to ogg.8). All ports that have an identifiable

direct dependency on this library have had their PORTREVISIONs bumped.

However, some ports that pull in the library indirectly may continue to

look for the old version. To ensure that all are updated, perform this

step:

# portmaster -r libogg

or

# portupgrade -rf libogg

20120717:

AFFECTS: users of ftp/proftpd

AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org

The options of ProFTPD have been made much more user-friendly.

As the modules are all shared libraries, all possible modules are built

and installed. The following modules are now in separate slave ports:

databases/proftpd-mod_sql_odbc: mod_sql_odbc

databases/proftpd-mod_sql_sqlite: mod_sql_sqlite

databases/proftpd-mod_sql_tds: mod_sql_tds

net/proftpd-mod_ldap: mod_ldap and mod_quotatab_ldap

20120716:

AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd

AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org

The following port options have been reorganized:

The OPENLDAP option has been renamed to LDAP.

The MAGNET and CML options have been withdrawn in favor of new LUA option.

20120716:

AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix-current

AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org

The postscreen-to-smtpd protocol has changed. To avoid "cannot

receive connection attributes" warnings and dropped connections,

execute the command "postfix reload".

20120716:

AFFECTS: Nobody

AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org

The FreeBSD ports tree switched from CVS to Subversion. A Subversion

to CVS exporter is in place to continue the support of CVSup.

20120709:

AFFECTS: users of math/metis

AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org

The older version of metis has been moved to math/metis4, and

math/metis has been updated to 5.0.2. Dependent ports still use

the old API, and the different versions of metis cannot coexist, so

most users should update with:

# portmaster -o math/metis4 math/metis

# portmaster -r math/metis4

or the equivalent.

20120702:

AFFECTS: users of databases/couchdb

AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org, Adam Strohl <adams-ports@ateamsystems.com>

The couchdb port has an unfortunate side effect; versions before 1.2.0

will clobber local.ini. The port will refuse to build if that file is

present and an earlier version is installed, however no such protection

can be afforded to package installation.

To upgrade from 1.1.0 and earlier, simply move PREFIX/etc/couchdb/local.ini

out of the way until the upgrade is complete.

20120702:

AFFECTS: users of net-im/mikutter

AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org

The net-im/mikutter has been updated to 0.1.1.810 which is required

Ruby 1.9.2 or later. Before upgrading this port, please see the entry

20110822 in this file to upgrade Ruby to 1.9.

If you want to stay with 0.0.3 (requires Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.2 or later),

please run the following command:

# portmaster -o net-im/mikutter003 net-im/mikutter

or

# portupgrade -o net-im/mikutter003 net-im/mikutter

20120630:

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*

AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org

lang/perl5.16 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example

lang/perl5.12, that is:

Portupgrade users:

0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):

pkgdb -Ff

1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16):

env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f perl-5.12.\*

2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:

portupgrade -fr perl

Portmaster users:

portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12

Conservative:

portmaster p5-

Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):

portmaster -r perl-

Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to

specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.

The default version for Perl has also been changed from 5.12 to 5.14.

20120623:

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xfce4-utils

AUTHOR: xfce@FreeBSD.org

The port has been discontinued, and installs files that conflict with

the new versions of misc/xfce4-appfinder and x11-wm/xfce4-session.

# pkg_delete -f xfce4-utils-\*

# portmaster misc/xfce4-appfinder x11-wm/xfce4-session

20120618:

AFFECTS: users of databases/db5

AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

The databases/db5 port has been upgraded to BerkeleyDB 5.3. This

entails a shared library bump.

Before upgrading this port, check if your applications use

transactional data bases, and if they do, prepare them for a log file

format upgrade. YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE YOU UPGRADE THE DB5 PORT! See:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/upgrading/upgrade_process.html

All packages that depend on db5 need to be rebuilt due to the shared

library version change. The full changelog is at

http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/berkeleydb/html/changelog_5_3.html

To upgrade the packages that need Berkeley DB 5, please

issue one of the following commands (depending on your preferred tool):

# portmaster -r db5-5

or

# portupgrade -fr databases/db5

20120616:

AFFECTS: users of www/lighttpd

AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org

The lighttpd startup script has been changed and is now compatible to the

apache startup script. The "reload" subcommand now sends a SIGHUP to the

process and triggers cycling of log files. The new command "graceful"

performs a graceful restart (similiar to former "reload") and "gracefulstop"

performs a graceful stop. The "check" command has been replaced with

the "configtest" command.

20120615:

AFFECTS: users of databases/akonadi

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

The latest Akonadi update includes critical bug fixes. Manual

intervention is required for people using local MySQL database (the

default configuration) as backend:

$ akonadictl stop

Wait a bit, and make sure that akonadiserver and akonadi_control are

not running. Kill them if needed. Then, you have two alternatives:

$ mysql_install_db --force \

--defaults-file=~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf \

--datadir=~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data \

--basedir=$(dirname `dirname $(which mysql_install_db)`)

$ rm ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf

...or...

$ rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi

In the latter case, Akonadi will have to recache your personal data

(might take a while). Akonadi is only a cache, no data will be lost.

Then:

$ akonadictl start

20120613:

AFFECTS: users of graphics/djvulibre and graphics/djvulibre-nox11

AUTHOR: bf@FreeBSD.org

DjVuLibre been updated to 3.5.25.3. The QT3 GUI that was in

graphics/djvulibre has been removed (users of this GUI should consider

switching to the new QT4 GUI in graphics/djview4), and

graphics/djvulibre-nox11 has been merged back into graphics/djvulibre.

To update DjVuLibre, you can use:

# pkg_delete djvulibre-\?.\*

# portmaster -o graphics/djvulibre djvulibre-nox11

You should then update any installed ports that link to the djvulibre shared

library: converters/pdf2djvu, graphics/djview4, graphics/okular, and --

if optional djvulibre support was enabled -- graphics/ImageMagick,

graphics/apvlv, and graphics/evince.

20120612:

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql-libpqxx

AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org

postgresql-libpqxx has been updated to 4.0. If you want to stick

with version 3, install postgresql-libpqxx30:

# portmaster -o databases/postgresql-libpqxx30 postgresql-libpqxx

20120612:

AFFECTS: users of graphics/gdal

AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org

Language bindings (Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby) have been moved to separate

ports. Please install them if required. The new ports are:

Perl binding: graphics/p5-Geo-GDAL

PHP binding: graphics/php-gdal

Python binding: graphics/py-gdal

Ruby binding: graphics/ruby-gdal

20120605:

AFFECTS: users of net/p5-ZConf

AUTHOR: vvelox@vvelox.net

Please append '.set' to all sets for the FS backend. This was done to prevent

collisions between config and set names. Previously the config

"someConfig/default" would collide with the set "default" for "someConfig".

20120603:

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

AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org

Note that The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler and the Haskell Platform

have been updated to versions 7.4.1 and 2012.2.0.0, respectively. At the

same time, all Haskell ports have been updated to their latest working

versions.

To follow the changes, please issue one of the following commands

(depending on the tool used):

# portmaster -r ghc

or

# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc

20120531:

AFFECTS: users of graphics/png

AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org

The PNG library has been updated to version 1.5.10. Please rebuild all

ports that depend on it.

If you use portmaster:

portmaster -r png-

If you use portupgrade:

portupgrade -fr graphics/png

20120531:

AFFECTS: users of editors/koffice-kde4

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

KOffice 2 has been replaced by Calligra. You are encouraged to

deinstall any KOffice port and install equivalent Calligra ones:

# pkg_delete \*koffice\*

# portmaster editors/calligra <additional l10n ports>

20120530:

AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql*-server

AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org

Affected users are those who use the crypt(text, text) function with

DES encryption in the optional pg_crypto module. Passwords affected

are those that contain characters that cannot be represented with

7-bit ASCII. If a password contains a character that has the most

significant bit set (0x80), and DES encryption is used, that character

and all characters after it will be ignored.

20120530:

AFFECTS: users of net/nss-pam-ldapd

AUTHOR: scheidell@FreeBSD.org

The net/nss-pam-ldapd port no longer provides an option for SASL. This has

been sourced out to the new net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl port, to accomodate

users using packages (see ports/162240). Users with openldap-sasl-client

installed are encouraged to change the port's origin to:

net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl using their favorite ports management tool.

Example for portmaster:

portmaster -o net/nss-pam-ldapd-sasl nss-pam-ldapd

20120527:

AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt4-gui

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

Qt started using the raster graphics system engine, which relies on

shared memory. Be sure to check pkg-message.

20120525:

AFFECTS: users of deskutils/kdepim4, deskutils/kdepim4-runtime

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

kdepim4 has been updated to 4.8.3. For those who prefer old

kdepim-4.4.11.1 deskutils/kdepim44* ports have been added.

To stay with kdepim-4.4.11.1 run the following commands:

# portmaster -o deskutils/kdepim44-runtime kdepim-runtime-4\*

# portmaster -o deskutils/kdepim44 kdepim-4\*

20120525:

AFFECTS: users of KDE SC 4

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.8.3. Several ports were split,

thus manual intervention into update procedure is required:

# pkg_delete -f kde-runtime-\* ruby\*-kdebindings-korundum\* \

kalgebra-4\* kdeaccessibility-4\* kdeutils-4\* kde-baseapps-\* \

plasma-applet-icontasks\*

# portmaster -a

20120518:

AFFECTS: users of dns/poweradmin

AUTHOR: Edmondas Girkantas <eg@fbsd.lt>

Some database changes have been made between version 2.1.4 and 2.1.5,

upgrading needs to be done manually by running the following SQL:

For MySQL users:

ALTER TABLE `zones` ADD `zone_templ_id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL;

ALTER TABLE zones ENGINE = InnoDB;

ALTER TABLE zone_templ ENGINE = InnoDB;

ALTER TABLE zone_templ_records ENGINE = InnoDB;

For PostgreSQL users:

ALTER TABLE zones ADD zone_templ_id INT DEFAULT NULL;

Source: https://www.poweradmin.org/trac/wiki/ReleaseNotes/2.1.5

20120516:

AFFECTS: users of lang/php5

AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org

PHP has been updated to 5.4. Suhosin patch has been disabled until the

new version will be released (soon). Suhosing extension will take more

time. LINKTHR option is now enabled by default, be sure to flag it if

you are updating using an old saved configuration. sqlite2 extension

has been permanently removed.

If you want to remain at PHP 5.3, a new port (lang/php53) has been

created for such purpose.

20120513:

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/smokeping

AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org

Smokeping has been updated to 2.6.7, and the web server configuration

has changed. FastCGI is now preferred. Please check the documentation

that your web server configuration is OK.

20120512:

AFFECTS: users of textproc/p5-XML-SAX

AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org

p5-XML-SAX (X-S) was split into p5-XML-SAX-Base (X-S-B) and p5-XML-SAX for

version 0.99. Since X-S-B now installs some files formerly installed by X-S

the package for X-S must be deinstalled before updating X-S.

# pkg_delete -fx p5-XML-SAX

# portmaster textproc/p5-XML-SAX

(users of pkgng can substitute pkg_delete with pkg delete)

20120511:

AFFECTS: users of graphics/xpdf

AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org

In order to allow graphics/xpdf and graphics/poppler-utils to coexist,

graphics/xpdf binaries have been moved from ${LOCALBASE}/bin to

${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf. The symlink ${LOCALBASE}/bin/xpdf points to

${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf/xpdf. However the other utilities installed by

the xpdf port conflict with poppler-utils, no symlinks are maintained.

Applicaions and scripts which use the pdf* utilities provided by

graphics/xpdf must reference them using their new location, specify

${LOCALBASE}/lib/xpdf in $PATH, or use the same utilities provided by

graphics/poppler-utils.

20120510:

AFFECTS: users of devel/gitolite

AUTHOR: milki@rescomp.berkeley.edu

gitolite has been split into two ports: devel/gitolite for 3.x and

devel/gitolite2 for 2.x

gitolite 3.x is NOT "API" compatible with gitolite 2.x and requires

additional manual migration steps which can be found in the online

documentation.

http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/install.html#migr

Current users wishing to continue using gitolite 2.x should run:

# portmaster -o devel/gitolite2 gitolite

or

# portupgrade -o devel/gitolite2 gitolite

20120508:

AFFECTS: users of www/node and www/node-devel

AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org

npm is a package manager for node. Starting with node 0.6.17 (www/node) and

node 0.7.8 (www/node-devel), we do not install bundled npm but provide a

separate port (www/npm). Please install www/npm if you need it.

20120430:

AFFECTS: users of www/py-google-api-python-client

AUTHOR: nivit@FreeBSD.org

The port has been updated to 1.0.b8. This new version has important

changes which might break your code:

* apiclient.anyjson has moved to oauth2client.anyjson.

* Some calls, for example, taskqueue().lease() used to require

a parameter named body. In this new release only methods that

really need to send a body require a body parameter, and so

you may get errors about an unknown 'body' parameter in your call.

The solution is to remove the unneeded body={} parameter

See http://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/wiki/PyDoc for

more information.

in the pkg-plist, causing it to be removed on deinstall.

conflict that existed with bsnmpd. As a result, the startup script

cannot find currently running versions of snmpd.

PID of snmpd and manually kill it after upgrade. Then, start the daemon

as you normally would.

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 and lang/perl5.10

AUTHOR: linimon@FreeBSD.org

lang/perl5.8 and lang/perl5.10 have been restored from the Attic

in order to give a FreeBSD-style deprecation cycle. However, users

are advised to upgrade to perl5.12 as soon as feasible.

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 and lang/perl5.10

AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org

lang/perl5.8 and lang/perl5.10 have been removed since they've

been EOL upstream for 3yrs and 2yrs respectively. The default

of lang/perl5.12 has not changed (yet). Conditional checks for

perl < 5.12 have been removed. UNLESS you have PERL_VERSION=5.8.x

or PERL_VERSION=5.10.x in /etc/make.conf you need take no action.

If you do, you will have to recompile all perl dependant ports after

updating your ports tree. Please see entry 20110517 for help.
