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.

20110607:

AFFECTS: users of devel/p5-Moose and devel/p5-Class-MOP

AUTHOR: az@FreeBSD.org

p5-Moose have been updated to 2.0007. Now p5-Class-MOP is a part of the

p5-Moose distribution. Manual intervention into update procedure is requied:

# portmaster -o devel/p5-Moose devel/p5-Class-MOP

# portmaster -R -r p5-Moose-\*

or do the same things with portupgrade.

To check everything went fine you can run:

# perl -Moose\ 999

and

# perl -MClass::MOP\ 999

in both cases you should see output:

version 999 required--this is only version 2.0007

20110606:

AFFECTS: users of databases/mariadb

AUTHOR: dougb@FreeBSD.org

The mariadb port has been split into -client, -scripts, and -server ports

ala mysql. You can now install only the parts that you need.

If you have devel/libevent installed along with mariadb you should do

something like:

pkg_delete mariadb\*

portmaster devel/libevent

20110605:

AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it

AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org

gnutls has been updated to 2.12.6.1 and all shared libraries' versions have

been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on

gnutls. Do something like:

portupgrade -rf gnutls

portmaster -r gnutls

20110605:

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/zfsnap

AUTHOR: Aldis Berjoza <aldis@bsdroot.lv>

There is an issue with zpool v28 (currently only on 9-CURRENT, or

8-STABLE systems that have been manually patched) that affects

zfSnap. If you are using v28 make sure to use the -zpool28fix flag

with zfsnap to work around the problem.

For more information please see:

http://wiki.bsdroot.lv/zfsnap#zpool_v28_zfs_destroy_-r_bug

20110602:

AFFECTS: users of net/freeradius

AUTHOR: Sevan Janiyan <venture37@geeklan.co.uk>

Freeradius no longer runs as nobody. It now runs as the freeradius

user. Please ensure that the following paths are owned by freeradius:

/var/run/radiusd

/var/log/radacct

/var/log/radius.log

20110529:

AFFECTS: users of textproc/*kmfl*

AUTHOR: nikola.lecic@anthesphoria.net

KMFL keyboard ports are now shared between IBus and SCIM KMFL IMEngines

(textproc/ibus-kmfl and textproc/scim-kmfl-imengine). Thus, the prefix

'scim-' is dropped from keyboard ports names.

Similar to m17n, both engines now search engine-neutral locations,

${LOCALBASE}/share/kmfl/ and ~/.kmfl/. Users have to move their local

keyboard files from ~/.scim/kmfl/ to ~/.kmfl/.

20110523:

AFFECTS: users of www/mod_perl2

AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org

mod_perl2 was updated to version 2.0.5, this version includes

p5-Apache-Reload again. The ports p5-Apache-Reload is now marked as

conflict for mod_perl2.

To update your mod_perl2 with portmaster use the commands

# portmaster -o www/mod_perl2 www/p5-Apache-Reload

# portmaster -R -r mod_perl2

20110522:

AFFECTS: users of emulators/virtualbox-ose

AUTHOR: vbox@FreeBSD.org

The emulators/virtualbox-ose port has been updated to 4.0.8. If you

want to stay with VirtualBox 3.2.x please run:

# portmaster -o emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod-legacy emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod

# portmaster -o emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy emulators/virtualbox-ose

or

# portupgrade -o emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod-legacy emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod

# portupgrade -o emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy emulators/virtualbox-ose

The emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy port will always include the

latest legacy version as a fallback if you hit a serious regression

in the latest version.

20110517:

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*

AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org

lang/perl5.14 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 (5.14):

env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.14 -f perl-5.12.\*

2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:

portupgrade -fr perl

Portmaster users:

portmaster -o lang/perl5.14 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.

20110516:

AFFECTS: users of net/skype, net/skype-devel, net-im/skype, net-im/skype-devel

AUTHOR: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@FreeBSD.org>

All skype ports were moved to net-im/:

- skype12: unchanged, very old version (for FreeBSD 6)

- skype20: last version with OSS support, that used to live in net/skype; the

DISTFILE is gone from the vendor but if you happen to have it it would be a

way of having sound w/o needing to upgrade your base OS

- [RECOMMENDED] skype: currently at 2.1.0.81 and the best supported

- skype-devel: currently at 2.2.0.25, sounds is OK, video doesn't work

To run either skype or skype-devel with fully working sound you need:

- to run fc10 (most probably, please report what you can do with fc4):

(OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10,OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10

in /etc/make.conf for systems that doesn't have it as default)

- In order for Skype to work OK, you need your kernel and modules to be:

- post 2011-05-03 in on HEAD

- post 2011-05-08 in on 7,8-STABLE

The port tries to catch if your system version is too old, but there's a

~3months window where because of a lack of OSVERSION bump, this is not

possible. So please check; and PLEASE READ THE PKGMESSAGE for setup details.

For how to update your kernel/world, see:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

IF YOUR OSVERSION IS NOT NEW ENOUGH, SOUND (ESPECIALLY MIC) WON'T WORK.

If you run into problems, at very least we need to know the output of:

$ uname -a; sysctl compat.linux | head -2; \

grep OVERRIDE_LINUX_ /etc/make.conf; \

cat /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf

the skype version you are using and hardware details (eg. webcam, if related)

I most probably will ignore any mail not containing this info since without

it it's impossible to help.

Please test your sound /video setup outside skype before blaming skype /

mailing me.

20110516:

AFFECTS: users of audio/musicpd

AUTHOR: Chris Rees <utisoft@gmail.com>

Musicpd now installs the binary for the server as bin/musicpd, rather than

mpd, to remove a conflict with net/mpich2; before upgrade you should run:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/musicpd stop

Likewise, mpd.conf has been renamed musicpd.conf-- if you want to keep it

as mpd.conf then place MPDCONF="mpd.conf" into /etc/make.conf, otherwise

after upgrade run:

# mv /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf /usr/local/etc/musicpd.conf

20110514:

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/gksu, sysutils/libgksu, sysutils/libgksuui

AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org

sysutils/gksu has been updated to 2.0.2. sysutils/libgksuui has been

deprecated since it has become a part of sysutils/libgksu.

Before upgrading remove sysutils/libgksuui.

20110511:

AFFECTS: users of editors/emacs

AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org

Due to a bug when upgrading from 23.2 or later versions, everything

installed by other ports in "${PREFIX}/share/emacs" gets removed.

Before upgrading:

* Please backup custom configurations in "${PREFIX}/share/emacs".

* After upgrading reinstall any ports that may have had files in the

"${PREFIX}/share/emacs" directory.

20110509:

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

AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org

GHC has been updated to version 7.0.3 and other Haskell ports are also

updated to their Haskell Platform versions or latest versions.

To update all affected ports:

# portmaster -r lang/ghc

or

# portupgrade -r lang/ghc

20110506:

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*

AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org

Default version of Perl was bumped to 5.12.

If you already have lang/perl5.10 or lang/perl5.8 installed, and want to

switch to lang/perl5.12 please follow instructions in the entry 20100715

in this file.

20110503:

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

AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org

www/codeigniter has been renamed to www/codeigniter17 to track the

legacy 1.7.* branch of Codeigniter development. www/codeigniter-devel

has been renamed to www/codeigniter to track the recommended 2.0.*

branch of Codeigniter development.

If you have Codeigniter 1.7.x installed and would like to continue using

it, please run one of the following commands to update its origin:

# portmaster -o www/codeigniter17 www/codeigniter

or

# portupgrade -o www/codeigniter17 www/codeigniter

If you have Codeigniter 2.0.x installed, please run one of the following

commands to update its origin:

# portmaster -o www/codeigniter www/codeigniter-devel

or

# portupgrade -o www/codeigniter www/codeigniter-devel

20110427:

AFFECTS: users of mail/ezmlm-idx

AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org

1) Please consult the instructions for upgrading to version 7.1.1 from

the earlier 0.444 version in the ports tree:

Online: https://github.com/bruceg/ezmlm-idx/blob/master/UPGRADE

Local: /usr/local/share/doc/ezmlm-idx/UPGRADE

2) SQLite3 has been added as a supported database plugin. Note that the

MySQL, PgSQL and SQLite options are mutually exclusive, and the first

selected option takes precedence if multiple options are selected.

20110421:

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/webcamd

AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org

Webcamd now creates device nodes with 0660 permission and webcamd:webcamd

ownership. To get access to the webcamd devices just add yourself to the

webcamd group.

20110409:

AFFECTS: users of japanese/asterisk-sounds

AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org

The japanese/asterisk-sounds has been updated to 1.8.

If you want to stay with ja-asterisk14-sounds, please run:

# portmaster -o japanese/asterisk14-sounds japanese/asterisk-sounds

or

# portupgrade -o japanese/asterisk14-sounds japanese/asterisk-sounds

See also 20101128 net/asterisk entry.

20110406:

AFFECTS: users of lang/ocaml and related libraries/applications

AUTHOR: stas@FreeBSD.org

Ocaml compiler and libraries suite has been updated to 3.12.

There appears to be an ABI incompatibility with .cmi files

generated by previous compiler versions. Though these should

only affect the linking process, if some application you're

using start to misbehave after the lang/ocaml updated you're

advised to rebuild this applications using the new ocaml version.

20110402:

AFFECTS: user of net-mgmt/xymon-client and net-mgmt/xymon-server

AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org

Loginname, path, scripts and config files have been renamed in 4.3.0

Steps to update:

1. Stop and deinstall the old version.

2. Copy the remaining config files to the new location.

3. Read the instructions

4. merge your old config with the upgrade430.sh script

5. fix the hobbit_*_enable lines in /etc/rc.conf

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit-server stop

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit-client stop

# pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/xymon-*

# pkg_add xymon-client-4.3.0.tbz

# pkg_add xymon-server-4.3.0.tbz

# cp /usr/local/www/hobbit/server/etc/* /usr/local/www/xymon/server/etc/

# less /usr/local/www/xymon/server/www/help/upgrade-to-430.txt

# /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin/bbcmd /usr/local/www/xymon/server/bin/upgrade430.sh

# sed -i '' -e 's|hobbit|xymon' /etc/rc.conf

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xymon-client start

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xymon-server start

20110328:

AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-client

AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org

OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.25. In this version, certain library

routines were moved from liblutil to libldap. If you previously built

the library with "FETCH" support, this would cause libldap to depend on

FreeBSD's libfetch.so library.

As of 20110402, a local change have been introduced so OpenLDAP libraries

link against libfetch.so when FETCH is enabled. Normally, no further user

interaction would be required.

For new installations, the FETCH option have been turned off by default.

20110324:

AFFECTS: users of KDE SC 4

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.6.1. As usual a number of files were

moved between packages, manual intervention into update procedure is

required:

# pkg_delete -f kdehier4\* kdebase-runtime-4\* kdebase-workspace-4\*

# pkg_delete -f kdeedu-4\* kdeutils-4\*

# portmaster -a

20110322:

AFFECTS: users of www/firefox

AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org

The www/firefox port has been updated to 4.0. If you want to stay with

Firefox 3.6 please run:

# portupgrade -o www/firefox36 www/firefox

# portupgrade -o www/firefox36-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)

or

# portmaster -o www/firefox36 www/firefox

# portmaster -o www/firefox36-i18n www/firefox-i18n (if installed)

Do not select the OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS option on a system with less then

2 GB of RAM otherwise you will run out of memory during the build.

Please make sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 4.0 and

backup your ~/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox

4.0.

The startup script has been renamed from firefox3 to firefox.

20110319:

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-client

AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org

The shared library version of the client library was increased to reflect

ABI changes, and avoid compatibility problems with the client library

in MySQL 5.1, so client programs that use the 5.5 client library should

be recompiled against the 5.5.10 client library.

This can be achieved with:

# portmaster -r mysql-client-5.5

or

# portupgrade -fr mysql-client-5.5

20110318:

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

AUTHOR: araujo@FreeBSD.org

The port www/node was merged with www/node-devel since there is no longer a

development version. Also www/node has not followed the stable upstream

prior to this update.

To keep www/node updated in your applications, from now on you must use

www/node instead of www/node-devel. If you have been using the www/node-devel,

you must run one of the following commands to upgrade:

# portmaster -o www/node www/node-devel

or

# portupgrade -o www/node www/node-devel

20110317:

AFFECTS: users of www/uzbl

AUTHOR: Klaus Aehlig <aehlig@linta.de>

The port has been updated to version as of 2011/02/15. This introduces

the following incompatabilities.

- $UZBL_FIFO, $UZBL_TITLE are available to scripts as environment variables,

but not as command-line arguments.

- environment variables are no longer expanded by the config parser

- download handling has changed

- cookie daemons are no longer supported

Users are advised to change their personal configuration files/scripts accordingly.

20110316:

AFFECTS: users of sysutils/duplicity

AUTHOR: peter.schuller@infidyne.com

sysutils/duplicity has been upgraded to 0.6.11. The old version

(0.5.20) is retained as sysutils/duplicity05. Duplicity 0.6 should

be generally compatible, but pay special attention to the new meaning

of the --archive-dir command. In particular, the archive dir is now

mandatory and defaults to ~/.cache/duplicity. You may have to

--exclude accordingly. In addition, it is recommended you consult

the CHANGELOG, specifically the "New in v0.6.00 (2009/06/08)" section

which details the checkpoint/restore feature (enabled by default) and

its implications.

20110313:

AFFECTS: users of astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced

AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org

The setiathome client has been updated to version 6.12. Before you

update, finish and report your current workunits to avoid losing them.

20110304:

AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-*

AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org

The default version of Python has been changed from 2.6.x to 2.7.x.

If you have 2.6.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python26 to

lang/python27 with one of the following commands:

If using portupgrade:

# portupgrade -o lang/python27 lang/python26

If using portmaster:

# portmaster -o lang/python27 lang/python26

If you want to retain 2.6.x as default Python version, set the

PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.6' (without quotes) in

/etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following

command:

# portupgrade -R python

Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.7, by using the

method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in

lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new

Python version.

If using portupgrade:

# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages

If using portmaster:

# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER

The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of

cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).

This is not the fault of portmaster.

20110301:

AFFECTS: users of databases/jasperserver

AUTHOR: jhelfman@experts-exchange.com

(taken from release notes of 4.0 from vendor)

If you are upgrading from an older JasperServer version such as 3.5 then

you must first upgrade to JasperServer 3.7 before upgrading to 4.0.

Upgrading directly from JasperServer 3.5 to 4.0 is not a "certified"

(i.e. fully QA tested) procedure.

The steps to carry out this operation are fully documented in the

JasperReports Server Installation Guide for the 3.7 release. You will

need to download the JasperServer 3.7 release package to get the relevant

files and documentation. To download the JasperServer 3.7 WAR file

distribution zip package, go to the JasperForge.org website and to the

JasperServer project.

http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperserver

20110228:

AFFECTS: users of devel/ccache

AUTHOR: Emanuel Haupt <ehaupt@FreeBSD.org>

ccache now allows the use of non-default compilers such as clang. This

requires adjustments of the ccache make glue.

Please (re)read the following document after updating ccache to

ccache-3.1.4_1:

/usr/local/share/doc/ccache/ccache-howto-freebsd.txt

20110227:

AFFECTS: users of net/unison and net/unison-devel

AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

Unison has been upgraded to version 2.40, which uses a different wire

protocol than 2.32 did. In order to support synchronization with

other computers where Unison is still at version 2.32, a new port

net/unison232 has been created. It provides unison232 and if that is

GTK2-enabled, also unison232-text. This unison232 port can be

installed in parallel with the existing net/unison port.

20110224:

AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati

AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org

Xorg has been updated to 7.5.1. For all ATI users the driver

was updated to 6.14.0 but the old one is still available in

x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati613. See radeon(5) for options

available.

20110224:

AFFECTS: users of net/openldap24-{client,server}

AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org

OpenLDAP has been upgraded to 2.4.24, which requires a shared library

version bump. Therefore, you need to reinstall all ports that depend on

it. Please do something like:

# portupgrade -fr net/openldap24-client

or

# portmaster -r net/openldap24-client

20110224:

AFFECTS: Nobody

AUTHOR: wxs@FreeBSD.org

FreeBSD 8.2 and 7.4 released.

20110209:

AFFECTS: users of www/testlink

AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org

Testlink 1.9.1 was released. Before updating, you should read carefully

the included README file because this release requires a manual update

of the database scheme.

20110125:

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.12

AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org

lang/perl5.12 has been updated to 5.12.3. You should update everything

that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use

"perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.12.

Please see its manual page for details.

If you want to switch to lang/perl5.12 from lang/perl5.{8,10} please

follow instructions in the entry 20100715 in this file.

20110124:

AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix

AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org

Postfix 2.8 introduces minor incompatibilities with previous versions.

Alias expansion, dns lookups, TLS support, milters and other features

are affected. To avoid surprises, carefully review the RELEASE_NOTES.

If you upgrade from Postfix 2.6 or earlier, you must execute "postfix

stop" and "postfix start" before you can use the postscreen(8) daemon.

This is needed because the Postfix 2.6 "pass" master service type did

not work reliably on some systems. If you upgrade from Postfix 2.7, or

from Postfix 2.8 before July 25, 2010, you must "postfix reload" (or

"postfix stop" followed by "postfix start"). This is needed because

the queue manager to delivery agent protocol has changed.

Also note that the optional SPF and VDA patches have not been updated

for Postfix 2.8; as a result, they are currently disabled.

20110111:

AFFECTS: users of www/redmine

AUTHOR: decke@FreeBSD.org

If you use 3rd party plugins that are incompatible with i18n >= 0.5.0

(eg. variables in yml files as {{variable}}) then you need to

install an older i18n version manually.

# gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n

Then upgrade the database as usual:

# rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

20110107:

AFFECTS: users of mail/exim

AUTHOR: rea@FreeBSD.org

[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] The default value for system_filter_user

is now the Exim run-time user, instead of root.

[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is no longer

optional and is forced on. This is mitigated by the new build

option TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST which defines a list of configuration

files which are trusted; one per line. If a config file is owned

by root and matches a pathname in the list, then it may be invoked

by the Exim build-time user without Exim relinquishing root

privileges.

[POSSIBLE CONFIG BREAKAGE] The Exim user is no longer automatically

trusted to supply -D<Macro[=Value]> overrides on the command-line.

Going forward, we recommend using TRUSTED_CONFIG_LIST with shim

configs that include the main config. As a transition mechanism,

we are temporarily providing a work-around: the new build option

WHITELIST_D_MACROS provides a colon-separated list of macro names

which may be overriden by the Exim run-time user. The values of

these macros are constrained to the regex ^[A-Za-z0-9_/.-]*$

(which explicitly does allow for empty values).

Upgrading users are encouraged to fully study

ftp://exim.inode.at/exim/ChangeLogs/NewStuff-4.73

and

ftp://exim.inode.at/exim/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-4.73

20110103:

AFFECTS: users of textproc/libwpd and graphics/libwpg

AUTHOR: fluffy@FreeBSD.org

LibWPD and LibWPG is now using new API, partially incompatible with

previous versions.

For correct upgrade procedure please upgrade LibWPD and LibWPG first

as described, than follow usual upgrade procedure

# portmaster -o textproc/libwpd08 libwpd

# portmaster -o graphics/libwpg01 libwpg

substitute 'portupgrade' for 'portmaster' accordingly if that's your

your upgrade tool of choice.

20101230:

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

AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org

PostgreSQL version 8.4 is now the default. To upgrade from a version

lower than 8.4, follow the instructions on the PostgreSQL.org website.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/install-upgrading.html

20101230:

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/pnp

AUTHOR: rea@FreeBSD.org

Starting from 0.6.10_1 config.php is no longer preserved across

upgrades; PNP way is to put all modifications into config_local.php.

Existing config.php will be saved as config.php.orig and you should

review your deviations from defaults and place them into

config_local.php.

20101227:

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-server

AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org

MySQL 5.5 has been updated to 5.5.8 GA release. Since layout is

changed you should remove mysql55-{client/server/scripts} ports

before upgrading. The build system is changed too, so expect

failures.

20101227:

AFFECTS: users of security/opensc

AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org

opensc has been updated to 0.12.0 release. Only one backend can be

choosen at compile-time: PC/SC is now the default one.

opensc doesn't export anymore its internal library, PKCS#11 is the

recommended interface.

20101220:

AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/flowd

AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org

flowd use now a fix UID/GID (id 542) instead the next free UID.

Before updating the port use the command "pw userdel _flowd"

20101216:

AFFECTS: users of security/libksba

AUTHOR: glarkin@FreeBSD.org

libksba has been updated to 1.1.0, and the shared library version has

increased from .17 to .18.

Directly- and indirectly-dependent ports have had their PORTREVISION

bumped to facilitate rebuilding. Please rebuild the dependent ports

with your preferred upgrading tool:

# portupgrade -rf security/libksba

-or-

# portmaster -w -r security/libksba

If there are still ports on your system that require ksba.so.17 (either

in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg, or non-existent), _please_ file a PR so

that a correct direct dependency can be added.

Once you are satisfied that no ports still depend on the old shared

library version (libksba.so.17), you can safely delete it from the

${LOCALBASE}/lib/compat/pkg directory if it is present there.

AFFECTS: users of databases/akonadi

AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org

With SQLite 3 installed, Akonadi used to build its plugin and

install it in a wrong place, without it being listed in plist. To

remove the orphaned file, run the following commands PRIOR TO the

Akonadi upgrade:

# cd /usr/ports/databases/akonadi

# rm `make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL`/sqldrivers/libqsqlite3.so

# rmdir `make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL`/sqldrivers \

`make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_PLUGINDIR_REL` \

`make -V KDE4_PREFIX`/`make -V QT_LIBDIR_REL`

AFFECTS: users of devel/icu

AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

icu has been updated to version 4.6. Please rebuild all ports that depends

on it.

If you use portmaster:

# portmaster -r icu

If you use portupgrade:

# portupgrade -fr devel/icu

Note that devel/icu4 is now deprecated consider replacing it by devel/icu

# portmaster -o devel/icu devel/icu4

or

# env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o devel/icu -f icu-4\*

AFFECTS: users of devel/bugzilla, japanese/bugzilla and russian/bugzilla-ru

AUTHOR: tota@FreeBSD.org

Bugzilla and its language packs are installed to

WWWDIR (defaults to PREFIX/www/bugzilla).

BUGZILLADIR (that defaulted to PREFIX/www/data/bugzilla) is deprecated.

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql-proxy

AUTHOR: Florian Smeets <flo@smeets.im>

The parameters --admin-username and --admin-password are mandatory now.

Add something like the following to rc.conf

mysql_proxy_args="--admin-username admin --admin-password somepassword"

AFFECTS: users of multimedia/avidemux2

AUTHOR: nox@FreeBSD.org

The port has been updated to 2.5.4 which now installs plugins separately

and I had to make a slave port for them, multimedia/avidemux2-plugins.

So you'll now have to install that port too for the app to become useful.

20101208:

AFFECTS: autotools

AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org

Another stage in the autotools cleanup that reduces tree churn whilst

updating components, a number of ports have now moved to non-versioned

locations since there is now only the concept of legacy and current

versions.

# portmaster -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268

# portmaster -o devel/automake devel/automake111

# portmaster -o devel/libtool devel/libtool22

# portmaster -o devel/libltdl devel/libltdl22

substitute 'portupgrade' for 'portmaster' accordingly if that's your

your upgrade tool of choice.

AFFECTS: users of www/py-flexget

AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org

Database schema changes. Please run:

$ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE thetvdb_favorites ADD series_id VARCHAR;"

$ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE imdb_movies ADD updated DateTime;"

$ sqlite3 db-config.sqlite "ALTER TABLE imdb_movies ADD mpaa_rating VARCHAR;"

inside flexget configuration directory (~/.flexget) for each

sqlite database you might have.

Replace "db-config.sqlite" with the appropriate name for your

sqlite database file.

AFFECTS: users of audio/libmpcdec

AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org

audio/libmpcdec has been removed in favor of audio/musepack; which

has a higher shared library version. You will have to rebuild all

ports that depend on audio/libmpcdec. Do this:

Portmaster users:

# portmaster -o audio/musepack audio/libmpcdec

# portmaster -r musepack-

Portupgrade user:

# env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o audio/musepack -f libmpcdec-\*

# pkgdb -Ff

# portupgrade -rf musepack-\*

20101204:

AFFECTS: autotools

AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org

The next stage in the ongoing cleanup of autotools-using ports is

a refactoring of bsd.autotools.mk so that version numbers are no longer

needed within the USE_AUTOTOOLS stanza. There is either

autoconf213/autoconf or automake14/automake (for the legacy versions,

and the currently available versions). This will considerably reduce

the amount of tree-wide patching in future on an update.

IMPORTANT: if you have either devel/autoconf-wrapper or

devel/automake-wrapper installed on your system (and you most likely do)

PLEASE update these ports to their new versions before updating anything

else -- Bad Things[tm] are likely to happen otherwise.

AFFECTS: users of multmidia/gstreamer-plugins

AUTHOR: multimedia@FreeBSD.org

If during the upgrade of gstreamer-plugins the following error happens:

Use the following command to upgrade:

cd ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins && make deinstall clean install

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

AUTHOR: Florian Smeets <flo@smeets.im>

If you want to upgrade to 1.8.0 first remove asterisk-addons by running

# pkg_delete -f asterisk-addons\*

after that you can run one of the following

# portmaster asterisk

or

# portupgrade asterisk

You need to update your config files as the step from 1.4.x to 1.8.x is

quite big. First you need to look at what changed between 1.4 and 1.6

http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8/UPGRADE-1.6.txt

After that you also need to take into account what chagne between

1.6 and 1.8

http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.8/UPGRADE.txt

If you want to stay with asterisk 1.4.x please run

# portmaster -o net/asterisk14 net/asterisk

# portmaster -o net/asterisk14-addons net/asterisk-addons

or

# portupgrade -o net/asterisk14 net/asterisk

# portupgrade -o net/asterisk14-addons net/asterisk-addons

AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix, mail/postfix2[56]

AUTHOR: sahil@FreeBSD.org

As of Postfix 2.7.2, 2.6.8, 2.5.11:

Postfix no longer automatically appends the system default CA

(certificate authority) certificates, when it reads the CA

certificates specified with {smtp, lmtp, smtpd}_tls_CAfile or

with {smtp, lmtp, smtpd}_tls_CApath. This prevents third-party

certificates from getting mail relay permission with the

permit_tls_all_clientcerts feature. Unfortunately, this change

may cause compatibility problems with configurations that rely

on certificate verification for other purposes. To get the old

behavior, specify "tls_append_default_CA = yes".

AFFECTS: users of www/py-flexget

AUTHOR: lioux@FreeBSD.org

metainfo_series is no longer a builtin. This should only affect

you if you aren't using one of the series plugins (series,

all_series, thetvdb_favorites, or series_premiere.) If you need

to enable metainfo_series manually for a feed it can be done like

so:

metainfo_series: yes

installed by other ports in "${PREFIX}/share/emacs" gets removed.

Before upgrading:

* Please backup custom configurations in "${PREFIX}/share/emacs".

* After upgrading reinstall any ports that may have had files in the

"${PREFIX}/share/emacs" directory.

Apologies for this inconvenience.

AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-server

AUTHOR: Alex Dupre <ale@FreeBSD.org>

If you are upgrading from a previous MySQL release, the server will exit

during startup after finding that the proxies_priv table is missing.

To create the table, start the server with the --skip-grant-tables

option to cause it to skip the normal grant table checks, then run

mysql_upgrade. Then stop the server and restart it normally.

You can do this by temporarly setting the following line in rc.conf:

mysql_args="--skip-grant-tables --skip-networking"
