1 This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when upgrading
2 your ports. We try our best to minimize these disruptions, but sometimes
5 You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time
6 you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.
9 AFFECTS: users of www/qt5-webengine
10 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
12 The upgrade of www/qt5-webengine to 5.9.3 may fail if an older version
13 of it is installed. It is recommended to either build the port in a
14 builder like poudriere, or to deinstall and then doing an install.
17 AFFECTS: users of security/gnupg and mail/mutt and mail/neomutt
18 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
20 The invocation for gpg from mutt/neomutt changed between gnupg-2.0
21 (which has expired and is now removed) and gnupg-2.2 (the current
22 version in the tree). Unless you're using gpgme, PGP-related
23 commands may fail in (neo)mutt.
25 In all cases, users are strongly urged to use security/gpgme to take
26 care of the setup for you. If you prefer to roll your own, the
27 following muttrc/neomuttrc entry has been reported to work:
29 pgp_decrypt_command="gpg2 %?p?--passphrase-fd 0 --pinentry-mode=loopback? --no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
31 See muttrc(5), neomuttrc(5), mutt.org, and neomutt.org for instructions
32 on (neo)mutt's gpg and gpgme instructions.
35 AFFECTS: users of devel/awscli
36 AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
38 The package name for devel/awscli has changed (back) to just awscli.
39 The introduction of flavors erroneously caused the awscli package to
40 be renamed to py27-awscli.
43 AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd
44 AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org
46 If you are building ejabberd 17.11 on a host, which already has an older
47 version of ejabberd installed, then build process will fail with "unknown type
48 specifier" errors. As a workaround, please uninstall ejabberd before building
51 This has been reported upstream at:
52 https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/2194
55 AFFECTS: users of dns/dnscrypt-proxy
56 AUTHOR: egypcio@googlemail.com
58 The 1.9.5_3 update of dns/dnscrypt-proxy replaces the default resolver used
59 by dnscrypt-proxy (cisco/OpenDNS) by a random one that does not log entries
63 AFFECTS: users of samba44
64 AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
66 The default version of samba has been switched from 4.4 to 4.6.
69 For package users having samba44 installed indirectly (as a dependency):
72 For package users having samba44 installed directly (leaf port):
77 If you want to keep samba44, add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= samba=4.4 to make.conf
79 If you want to upgrade to samba46, remove samba44:
80 # pkg delete -f samba44
83 # portmaster net/samba46
87 # portinstall net/samba46
91 AFFECTS: users of devel/gogs
94 Gogs user has been changed to "git" and configuration files are now
95 located in /usr/local/etc/gogs. Users should update ownership of the
96 existing Gogs directories with
98 # chown -R git:git /var/db/gogs
99 # chown -R git:git /var/log/gogs
101 and either move or merge the contents of /var/db/gogs/home/.ssh with
102 /usr/local/git/.ssh. After migration, /var/db/gogs/home can be removed,
103 and both the user "gogs" and the group "gogs" should be deleted:
105 # rm -rf /var/db/gogs/home
110 AFFECTS: users of finance/gnucash
111 AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
113 The gnucash port has been converted too use flavors, the GUILE1
114 and GUILE2 options have been converted to flavors so that two
115 separate packages can be provided.
117 Since the next major release of gnucash will drop guile1 support,
118 the default flavor package is compiled against guile2, switching
119 the previous default.
121 Users who intend to stay on the guile1 version should deinstall
122 the default gnucash package and install the gnucash-guile1 package.
125 AFFECTS: all ports users
126 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
128 Support for some deprecated variables is going to be removed soon. If
129 you use any of the following constructs (usually in /etc/make.conf),
130 you must switch to the new incantations:
133 ------------------------------- ------------------------------
134 WITH_[...] OPTIONS_SET= [...]
135 WITHOUT_[...] OPTIONS_UNSET= [...]
136 WITHOUT_NLS OPTIONS_UNSET= NLS
137 NOPORTDOCS OPTIONS_UNSET= DOCS
138 NOPORTEXAMPLES OPTIONS_UNSET= EXAMPLES
139 WITH_BDB_VER=[...] DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= bdb=[...]
140 OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=[...] DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= linux=[...]
141 WITH_OPENSSL_BASE DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=base
142 WITH_OPENSSL_PORT DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=port
145 AFFECTS: users of dns/powerdns
146 AUTHOR: krion@FreeBSD.org
148 Recursor passthrough removal: This will impact many installations.
149 Previously, the PowerDNS Authoritative Server contained a facility
150 for sending recursion desired queries to a resolving backend,
151 possibly after first consulting its local cache. This feature
152 (‘recursor=’) was frequently confusing and also delivered
153 inconsistent results, for example when a query ended up referring
154 to a CNAME that was outside of the Authoritative Server’s
158 AFFECTS: users of sysutils/dsbmd
159 AUTHOR: mk@freeshell.de
161 Due to new configuration variables and new features, users of dsbmd
162 version 0.4.1 and earlier should consider recreating their dsbmd.conf from
163 the new dsbmd.conf.sample.
166 AFFECTS: all ports users
167 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
169 The ports tree has gained "flavors," which are a way to produce multiple
170 variations of a port. Some intended examples of this are language
171 modules being produced for multiple language versions, and lite/nox11 packages,
172 without needing separate ports for each variation. Python ports have already
173 been flavored (see the below entry). Flavor support must be added to
176 Flavors are already supported by make, pkg, poudriere, and synth; see the
177 manpages for those tools for usage instructions. Portmaster and portupgrade
178 don't support flavors yet, but community work on those tools is in progress.
180 Some bumps and breakages are inevitable for a major change such as this.
181 Please report breakages and monitor the ports@ list for solutions as they
186 AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
188 Ports using Python via USES=python are now flavored. All the py3-* ports
189 have been removed and folded into their py-* master ports.
191 People using Poudriere 3.2+ and binary packages do not have to do anything.
193 For other people, to build the Python 3.6 version of, for example,
194 databases/py-gdbm, you need to run:
196 # make FLAVOR=py36 install
199 AFFECTS: users of security/p5-openxpki
200 AUTHOR: dbaio@FreeBSD.org
202 OpenXPKI has been updated to 1.19.4, some important changes were made, please
203 see the upgrading documentation for more details:
205 http://openxpki.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrading.html
208 AFFECTS: users of mail/sympa
209 AUTHOR: dgeo@centrale-marseille.fr
211 Web's static dirs have moved to a single dedicated directory.
212 Users should review webserver's /static configuration (examples in
213 share/examples/sympa).
216 AFFECTS: users of sysutils/zrepl
217 AUTHOR: woodsb02@FreeBSD.org
219 Zrepl has been updated to 0.0.2, which introduces two changes that will
220 require existing users to change their zrepl.yml config file:
221 - global.logging is no longer a dictionary but a list.
222 Refer to the new format here: https://zrepl.github.io/configuration/logging.html
223 - source job field datasets renamed to filesystems.
224 Refer to the new format here: https://zrepl.github.io/configuration/jobs.html
226 https://zrepl.github.io/changelog.html#id1
229 AFFECTS: users of sysutils/terraform
230 AUTHOR: lifanov@FreeBSD.org
232 Terraform has been updated to 0.11, which introduces several incompatible
233 changes. Please follow upgrading guide when updating the package.
235 https://www.terraform.io/upgrade-guides/0-11.html
238 AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/poudriere
239 AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
241 "poudriere options" now respects the -p flag while it did not before.
242 This means that it may create an empty directory when used now rather
243 than continue to use your existing options set. You may want to not
244 use -p or move your existing options directory, in
245 /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/*-options, to the new format with the
246 ports tree name in it. Otherwise "poudriere bulk" will use the
249 This behavior will likely change in 3.2.1 to be more backwards-compatible.
252 AFFECTS: consumers of devel/oniguruma*
253 AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org
255 Outdated versions of oniguruma have been removed from the ports
256 tree; devel/oniguruma is the only supported version, currently
257 replacing devel/oniguruma6.
258 pkg should handle this automatically while users of portmaster or
259 portupgrade might need to take additional manual steps:
261 for users of portmaster:
262 portmaster -o devel/oniguruma devel/oniguruma6
263 portmaster -r devel/oniguruma
265 for users of portupgrade:
266 portupgrade -o devel/oniguruma devel/oniguruma6
267 portupgrade -fr devel/oniguruma
270 AFFECTS: users of www/node
271 AUTHOR: bhughes@FreeBSD.org
273 The www/node port has been updated to node.js v9.0.0, the latest
274 upstream release. A new port, www/node8, has been created for the
275 v8.x LTS branch. Users wanting to stay on v8.x can replace www/node
276 with www/node8 with one of the following commands:
278 # pkg install www/node8
280 # portmaster -o www/node8 www/node
282 # portupgrade -o www/node8 www/node
285 AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
286 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
288 The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.6 of LibreSSL.
289 The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
291 After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
292 libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
293 versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
294 list of dependent software by running the following command:
296 # pkg info -r libressl
298 Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
299 shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
300 portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
304 portmaster -r libressl
306 portupgrade -fr security/libressl
309 AFFECTS: users of www/mod_auth_cas
310 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
312 The configuration of mod_auth_cas has changed since the previous
313 version. Visit the https://github.com/apereo/mod_auth_cas page for
314 an overview of all configuration parameters
317 AFFECTS: users of www/mod_rpaf2
318 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
320 The configuration of mod_rpaf2 has been heavily modified since version
321 0.6. Have a look at https://github.com/gnif/mod_rpaf/tree/v0.8.4 to
322 determine what you need to change in your configuration.
325 AFFECTS: users of editors/vim
326 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
328 The default vim language bindings have changed. Python 2 and 3 bindings
329 may now be enabled independently (the default vim package will continue
330 to depend on python-2.7).
332 Lua and Tcl bindings have been disabled by default. If you need these
333 bindings, you'll need to compile vim yourself. Note that bindings are
334 only for plugins written in those languages, and for interactive
335 debugging. Editing, indenting, linting, completing, and syntax-highlighting
336 those languages is NOT affected.
339 AFFECTS: users of devel/universal-ctags
340 AUTHOR: rodrigo@FreeBSD.org
342 Due to conflicts with emacs ctag (editors/emacs-devel, editors/emacs-nox11, editors/emacs),
343 the installed files will be prefixed with the 'u' character.
344 The new binaries will de named uctags and ureadtags.
347 AFFECTS: people using WITHOUT_DEBUG
348 AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
350 The WITHOUT_DEBUG flag has been retired. It's only purpose was
351 to override a global WITH_DEBUG, if that was defined, but many
352 ports were ignoring such flag even if honouring WITH_DEBUG.
354 The same effect can be obtained using ".undef WITH_DEBUG" without
355 any special support in port Makefiles.
358 AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
359 AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
361 OpenSSH has been upgraded to 7.6p1 which has removed several deprecated
364 - SSH version 1 support dropped.
365 - Dropped support for hmac-ripemd160 MAC.
366 - Dropped support for the ciphers arcfour, blowfish and CAST.
367 - RSA keys less than 1024 bits are refused.
369 The HPN option is currently disabled by default, and does not build,
370 in the package. This follows what happened in base as well.
373 AFFECTS: users of security/krb5-appl
374 AUTHOR: cy@FreeBSD.org
376 Configuration options to rename kerberos ftp, telnet, rlogin, rsh, and
377 rcp are now default to avoid conflicting with net/bsdrcmds packages
378 (in poudriere). Deselect the options to use the original command names
379 and also uninstall net/bsdrcmds to avoid the conflict.
382 AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/cwm
383 AUTHOR: tobik@FreeBSD.org
385 Configuration options were renamed and you need to update your ~/.cwmrc
386 accordingly. Make sure to check cwmrc(5) for the new option names.
387 cwm-migrate-config.pl can help in migrating your ~/.cwmrc.
390 AFFECTS: users of mail/isync using Maildir sub-folders
391 AUTHOR: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org
393 If you have Maildir sub-folders, you need to update the configuration
394 to specify the naming style.
396 Please refer to the mbsync(1) man page section 'SubFolders
397 Verbatim|Maildir++|Legacy' on how to make the apropriate changes.
400 AFFECTS: users of PHP and its modules
401 AUTHOR: eugen@FreeBSD.org
403 All lang/php* ports switched to depend on devel/oniguruma6
404 instead of previous oniguruma version some time ago.
406 If you have not moved from devel/oniguruma5 before and
407 have troubles updating PHP,
409 for users of portmaster:
410 portmaster -o devel/oniguruma6 devel/oniguruma5
411 portmaster -r devel/oniguruma6
413 for users of portupgrade:
414 portupgrade -o devel/oniguruma6 devel/oniguruma5
415 portupgrade -fr devel/oniguruma6
417 pkg should handle this automatically.
420 AFFECTS: users of security/courier-authlib and its modules
421 AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
423 The affected ports have been modified to follow the upstream
424 suggested best practice to use the sysconftool on installation.
426 Please make sure your configuration files include all the comments
427 that tool uses to correctly update the configuration on update.
429 You can use the ".sample" or ".dist" files as templates for missing
433 AFFECTS: users of devel/cargo
434 AUTHOR: rust@FreeBSD.org
436 Starting with version 1.19.0, Cargo is provided with Rust. Therefore,
437 devel/cargo was merged into lang/rust.
440 AFFECTS: users of CMake & CMake Modules
441 AUTHOR: adridg@FreeBSD.org
443 The devel/cmake-modules port has been merged into devel/cmake.
445 The benefit of being able to update the modules without the binary
446 is outweighed by the issues caused by having the binary out-of-sync
449 Users should delete the devel/cmake-modules package and then
450 upgrade or reinstall devel/cmake.
452 All ports have been updated to depend only on CMake.
455 AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/seafile-server
456 AUTHOR: ultima@FreeBSD.org
458 Users using MySQL updating to 6.1.2 need to verify table's collation
459 are utf8_unicode_ci. Upstream has set collation type to be implicit
460 and will cause all libraries to disappear if set to incorrect collation.
463 AFFECTS: users of security/gnupg
464 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
466 security/gnupg has become the new stable version of GnuPG. This is
467 an LTS branch. gnupg20 will reach EOL at the end of the year, and all
468 gnupg20 users should migrate to gnupg22.
470 See https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html for important changes.
473 AFFECTS: users of www/uwsgi
474 AUTHOR: ultima@FreeBSD.org
476 The default socket owner and mode had been changed from www:www 600
477 to uwsgi:www 660. This should resolve issue #1471[1] on github.
479 [1] https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/issues/1471
482 AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*
483 AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org
485 The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
486 8.0.2. Hence it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the
487 dependent ports and the lang/ghc port itself in one of the following
490 # portmaster -w -r ghc
492 # portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
494 In case of pkg(8), it is probably safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
495 packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch. For
498 # pkg query "%ro" ghc > ghc-pkgs.txt
499 # pkg delete -y lang/ghc
501 In ghc-pkgs.txt, check and remove all the packages that have been moved
502 on the update, then use this command:
504 # pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt`
507 AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot2 and mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole
508 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
510 Now that dovecot1 has been removed from the ports tree, dovecot2
511 and dovecot2-pigeonhole have been renamed to simply dovecot and
514 pkg should handle the rename automatically, but if you run into
515 trouble, you can point pkg at the new origin via:
517 # pkg set -o mail/dovecot2:mail/dovecot
518 # pkg set -o mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole:mail/dovecot-pigeonhole
520 Similarly, you can point portmaster at the new location via:
522 # portmaster -o mail/dovecot mail/dovecot2
524 If all else fails, just remove and reinstall the package:
526 # pkg delete dovecot2
527 # pkg install dovecot
530 AFFECTS: users of mail/dovecot2-antispam-plugin
531 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
533 Development of the antispam plugin ceased years ago, and upstream
534 recommends using pigeonhole (mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole) instead.
536 See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/AntispamWithSieve for a recipe
537 to replicate the antispam plugin's behaviour.
540 AFFECTS: users of net/guacamole-client
541 AUTHOR: ultima@FreeBSD.org
543 As of version 0.9.13, the configuration directory for guacamole-client
544 has changed from /usr/local/etc/guacamole to
545 /usr/local/etc/guacamole-client.
548 AFFECTS: users of net/guacamole-server
549 AUTHOR: ultima@FreeBSD.org
551 As of version 0.9.13, the configuration directory for guacamole-server

566 AUTHOR: lwhsu@FreeBSD.org
568 Bitcoin data directory has been changed from /var/db/bitcoind to
569 /var/db/bitcoin. Users of previous versions may want to migrate data to
570 new location or specify bitcoind_data.
573 AFFECTS: users of mail/mailscanner
574 AUTHOR: crees@FreeBSD.org
576 Version 5.0.3 of MailScanner introduced a serious bug in packaging.
577 Unfortunately if it is installed, your configuration has been deleted.
579 If you have managed to get it working, please back up
580 /usr/local/etc/MailScanner as it will also be deleted on deinstall

613 AUTHOR: eugen@FreeBSD.org
615 devel/p5-Log-Any-Adapter-Syslog functionality have been merged into
616 devel/p5-Log-Any and from now devel/p5-Log-Any must be used.
618 devel/p5-Log-Any-Adapter-Syslog will be marked as deprecated and removed.
621 AFFECTS: users of devel/apr1
622 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
624 APR was updated to 1.6.0 and APR-util was updated to 1.6.2
626 The Apache Portable Runtime project removed support for FreeTDS from the
627 APR Utilities in version 1.6. Users of FreeTDS will have to migrate
628 configurations to use the newly added ODBC support in conjunction with
629 FreeTDS using FreeTDS' ODBC capabilities.
631 Please rebuild all ports which are using functions from APR/APR-util
632 such as Apache, Subversion, etc. Normally, you can obtain the list of
633 dependent software by running the following command:
637 Then you should rebuild all ports depending on APR(-util) to avoid
638 dangling shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this
639 correctly, portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to
640 rebuild all dependent ports.

684 used, please be sure to move the old home directory, /var/dcc to
688 AFFECTS: users of net/rabbitmq
689 AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
691 The rabbitmq-3.6.10_1 port has been changed to use version 19 of
692 the Erlang runtime, because RabbitMQ is not yet compatible with
695 Upgrades to the previous rabbitmq-3.6.10 must be avoided as
696 they can lead to data corruption due to changes in Erlang 20.
699 AFFECTS: users of database/postgresql* and other software using PostgreSQL to run
700 AUTHOR: tz@FreeBSD.org
702 The default version of PostgreSQL has been switched from 9.3 to 9.5.
703 The upgrade procedure can use up twice the space the databases
704 currently needs. If you have a big amount of stored data take a
705 closer look at the manpage of pg_upgrade for avoidance and/or
706 speedup of the upgrade.
708 The upgrade instructions consider a basic usage and do not match
709 complex scenarious like replication, sharding or similar.
711 Upgrade instructions:
713 First stop your PostgreSQL, create PostgreSQL-binaries and backup your data.
714 If you have another Version of PostgreSQL installed, for example 9.3.12, your
715 files are named accourding to this.
717 # service postgresql stop
718 # pkg create postgresql93-server postgresql93-contrib
719 # mkdir /tmp/pg-upgrade
720 # tar xf postgresql93-server-9.3.17.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
721 # tar xf postgresql93-contrib-9.3.17.txz -C /tmp/pg-upgrade
722 # mv /usr/local/pgsql/data /usr/local/pgsql/data93
723 # pkg delete -f databases/postgresql93-server databases/postgresql93-contrib databases/postgresql93-client
725 Now update PostgreSQL:
728 # pkg install databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
732 # portmaster databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
736 # portinstall databases/postgresql95-server databases/postgresql95-contrib
739 After installing the new PostgreSQL version you need to convert
740 all your databases to new version:
742 # service postgresql initdb
743 # su -l pgsql -c "pg_upgrade -b /tmp/pg-upgrade/usr/local/bin/ -d /usr/local/pgsql/data93/ -B /usr/local/bin/ -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/"
745 Now the migration is finished. You can start PostgreSQL again with:
747 # service postgresql start
750 AFFECTS: users of editors/calligra
751 AUTHOR: groot@kde.org
753 Calligra has been updated to 3.0.1, which is a KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5)
754 based application. Calligra now uses Qt5 and KF5. The translations have
755 been merged (upstream) into the application, so separate language /
756 translation ports are no longer provided. Krita has been split out
757 (upstream) into a separate application, which is packaged as
758 graphics/krita. Kexi, the visual database applications creator,
759 is packaged separately as databases/kexi.
761 Users of Calligra are encouraged to install Krita and Kexi separately,
762 and to report issues with the upgrade to kde@.
765 AFFECTS: users of net-im/ejabberd
766 AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org
768 After update to 17.04, there is an issue[1] expected with S2S connections,
769 which can be resolved by adding 'mod_s2s_dialback: {}' to 'modules' section
770 of configuration file.
772 [1] - https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/1700
775 AFFECTS: users of www/kanboard
776 AUTHOR: joneum@FreeBSD.org
778 After update to 1.0.44, there are following breaking changes:
779 * Move calendar to external plugin: https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-calendar
780 * Move Gantt charts to external plugin: https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-gantt
781 * Move Gravatar to external plugin: https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-gravatar
784 AFFECTS: users of Qt 5 in presence of binutils
785 AUTHOR: amdmi3@FreeBSD.org
787 gold linker from binutils 2.28 may produce duplicate library
788 symbols, which makes shared libraries created with it not usable
789 with conventional ld linker.
791 This affects Qt, as qt5-qmake will detect gold and use it to build
792 Qt libraries. Broken libQt5Core will be produced and ports which
793 depend on it will then fail to link with the following errors:
795 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): multiple definition of `__bss_start at Qt_5'
796 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): first defined here
797 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): multiple definition of `_edata at Qt_5'
798 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x27ac8): first defined here
799 ...lib/libQt5Core.so:(.dynamic+0x2b2d0): multiple definition of `_end at Qt_5'
801 Qt5 was fixed to ignore gold. If you see these errors, you
802 need to rebuild qt5-qmake, then all qt5-* ports.
805 AFFECTS: users of sysutils/dsbmd
806 AUTHOR: mk@freeshell.de
808 Due to new configuration variables and semantic changes, users of dsbmd
809 version 0.2 and earlier should consider recreating their dsbmd.conf from
810 the new dsbmd.conf.sample.
813 AFFECTS: users of www/yarn
814 AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org
816 The default node backend for yarn has switched to www/node. Binary
817 package users should expect the node backend to be switched during
818 the upgrade. To keep the node6 (LTS) backend, rebuild www/yarn with
819 the NODE6 backend option enabled.
822 AFFECTS: users of security/pecl-ssh2
823 AUTHOR: dbaio@FreeBSD.org
825 The security/pecl-ssh2 has been upgraded to version 1.0, and the new
826 version is not compatible with PHP5. If you need PHP5 support, you can
827 find version 0.13 in security/pecl-ssh2-0.
830 AFFECTS: users of sysutils/ansible
831 AUTHOR: lifanov@FreeBSD.org
833 The default value for ansible_python_interpreter has been changed
834 to match the upstream /usr/bin/python. If managing FreeBSD systems,
835 adjust the hosts database to explicitly set a valid python interpreter:
841 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python2.7
844 AFFECTS: users of security/libressl
845 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
847 The port has been updated to the latest stable version 2.5 of LibreSSL.
848 The shared library versions of the libraries have been bumped.
850 After upgrading, manually update all packages that depend on any of the
851 libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the
852 versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the
853 list of dependent software by running the following command:
855 # pkg info -r libressl
857 Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling
858 shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly,
859 portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all
863 portmaster -r libressl
865 portupgrade -fr security/libressl
869 AUTHOR: gecko@FreeBSD.org
871 Firefox 53 or later may fail to build if sem(4) is present (see below)
872 because sysconf(3) still consults the old limits. If you don't plan to
873 run FreeBSD 8.x or older binaries make sure sem(4) isn't loaded during
874 boot or built statically into the kernel.

895 AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/awesome
896 AUTHOR: garga@FreeBSD.org
898 Awesome Window Manager (x11-wm/awesome) was upgraded to 4.1 and its config
899 is not backward compatible with 3.5. A new port was created to keep 3.5
900 version available at x11-wm/awesome3 and it will be available for 6 months
901 until users have time to upgrade configuration.
903 There are references about what has changed in 4.0 at:

907 And configuration porting tips at:
909 https://awesomewm.org/apidoc/documentation/17-porting-tips.md.html#v4
911 If you would like to keep using 3.x, please run the collowing command to
914 # pkg set -n awesome:awesome3
915 # pkg set -o x11-wm/awesome:x11-wm/awesome3
918 AFFECTS: users of Xapian 1.2.x and www/ikiwiki
919 AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
921 Xapian has been updated to 1.4.3. The 1.2.x series has been renamed with
922 suffix "12". The Perl binding for Xapian 1.4.x is databases/p5-Xapian.
923 Since www/ikiwiki depends on Search::Xapian, it stays with Xapian 1.2.
924 If you would like to keep using 1.2, please run the following commands
925 to update pkg database:
928 # pkg set -n xapian-core:xapian-core12
929 # pkg set -o databases/xapian-core:databases/xapian-core12
932 # pkg set -n p5-Search-Xapian:p5-Search-Xapian12
933 # pkg set -o databases/p5-Search-Xapian:databases/p5-Search-Xapian12

940 # pkg set -n xapian-omega:xapian-omega12
941 # pkg set -o databases/xapian-omega:databases/xapian-omega12
944 AFFECTS: net/samba44, net/samba45, net/samba46 and devel/p5-Parse-Pidl*
945 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
947 It turned out that arbitary versions of p5-Parse-Pidl may lead to the
948 hard to explain crashes of the Samba server and utilities(in particular
949 we suspect it was responsible for the troubles with the DC provisioning).
951 So, from now on net/samba* ports use bundled version of Pidl. You need to
952 remove external package from the system:
954 pkg delete -f p5-Parse-Pidl p5-Parse-Pidl44
957 AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable
958 AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org
960 The format of several log messages emitted by the packet code has
961 changed to include additional information about the user and
962 their authentication state. Software that monitors ssh/sshd logs
963 may need to account for these changes. For example:
965 Connection closed by user x 1.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
966 Connection closed by authenticating user x 10.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
967 Connection closed by invalid user x 1.1.1.1 port 1234 [preauth]
969 Affected messages include connection closure, timeout, remote
970 disconnection, negotiation failure and some other fatal messages
971 generated by the packet code.
974 AFFECTS: users of samba43
975 AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
977 The default version of samba has been switched from 4.3 to 4.4.
978 Upgrade instructions:
980 For package users having samba43 installed indirectly (as a dependency):
983 For package users having samba43 installed directly (leaf port):
985 # pkg install samba44
988 If you want to keep samba43, add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= samba=4.3 to make.conf
990 If you want to upgrade to samba44, remove samba43 and obsolete packages:
991 # pkg delete -f samba36-libsmbclient samba36-nmblookup samba36-smbclient samba36 samba43 p5-Parse-Pidl
994 # portmaster net/samba44
998 # portinstall net/samba44
1002 AFFECTS: net/samba46 and devel/p5-Parse-Pidl
1003 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
1005 New version of Samba port from 4.6 branch is added. Before upgrading please read upgrade notes:
1007 https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.6.0.html
1009 For the vfs_fruit users:
1011 Users on *BSD must rename the metadata xattr used by vfs_fruit when
1012 using the default setting "fruit:metadata = netatalk".
1014 Due to a glitch in the Samba xattr API compatibility layer for FreeBSD and a
1015 mistake in vfs_fruit, vfs_fruit ended up using the wrong xattr name when
1016 configured with "fruit:metadata = netatalk" (default). Instead of the correct
1018 org.netatalk.Metadata
1024 Starting with Samba 4.6 vfs_fruit will use the correct "org.netatalk.Metadata"
1025 which means existing installations must rename this xattrs. For this purpose
1026 Samba now includes a new tool `mvxattr`.
1029 AFFECTS: net/samba45, net/samba46 and devel/p5-Parse-Pidl
1030 AUTHOR: timur@FreeBSD.org
1032 While new Uses/samba.mk dosen't work well with slave ports to compile devel/p5-Parse-Pidl
1033 for net/samba45 or net/samba46 you need explicitly set in the /etc/make.conf:
1035 SAMBA4_PORT=net/samba46
1037 explicitly. In the future that shouldn't be necessary.
1040 AFFECTS: users of samba36-libsmbclient, samba36-nmblookup samba36-smbclient and samba36
1041 AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
1043 The obsolete samba36-libsmbclient, samba36-nmblookup, samba36-smbclient and samba36 packages/ports were removed
1044 and USES=samba was introduced.
1045 Upgrade instructions:
1047 For package users having those ports installed indirectly (as dependencies):
1050 For package users having those ports installed directly (leaf ports):
1052 # pkg install samba43
1055 Choose you samba version, for instance add DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= samba=4.3 to make.conf
1057 Remove obsolete packages:
1058 # pkg delete -f samba36-libsmbclient samba36-nmblookup samba36-smbclient samba36
1061 # portmaster net/samba43
1065 # portinstall net/samba43
1069 AFFECTS: users of mail/pecl-mailparse
1070 AUTHOR: dbaio@bsd.com.br
1072 The mail/pecl-mailparse has been upgraded to version 3.0.2, and the new
1073 version is not compatible with PHP5. If you need PHP5 support, you can
1074 find version 2.1.6 in mail/pecl-mailparse2.
1077 AFFECTS: users of textproc/pecl-yaml
1078 AUTHOR: dbaio@bsd.com.br
1080 The pecl-yaml has been upgraded to version 2.0.0, and the new version is
1081 not compatible with PHP5. If you need PHP5 support, you can find version
1082 1.3.0 in textproc/pecl-yaml1.
1085 AFFECTS: users of python setuptools
1086 AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org
1088 The python setuptools ports have been renamed to better match other python ports.
1089 Ports users need to rename them so that portupgrade and portmaster do not
1090 get confused. For example:
1092 pkg set -n py27-setuptools27:py27-setuptools
1093 pkg set -o devel/py-setuptools27:devel/py27-setuptools
1095 pkg set -n py35-setuptools35:py35-setuptools
1096 pkg set -o devel/py-setuptools35:devel/py35-setuptools
1099 AFFECTS: users of textproc/ack
1100 AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org
1102 ack has been renamed back to p5-ack to match our perl naming. You could
1103 run the following to update pkg database:
1105 # pkg set -n ack:p5-ack
1106 # pkg set -o textproc/ack:textproc/p5-ack
1109 AFFECTS: users of games/tome4 with paid DLCs
1110 AUTHOR: lifanov@FreeBSD.org
1112 The Ashes of Urh'Rok and Embers of Rage DLCs have been updated to be
1113 compatible with changes introduced in ToME 1.5.0. Users of these DLCs
1114 will need to redownload nd place these in $HOME/.t-engine/4.0/addons.
1117 AFFECTS: users of mail/thunderbird with Lightning
1118 AUTHOR: cmt@FreeBSD.org
1120 After changes in the packaging of the Lightning extension, profiles
1121 using this extension have to be re-created.
1124 AFFECTS: users of devel/mtbl
1125 AUTHOR: truckman@FreeBSD.org
1127 There is a libmtbl shared library version bump in mtbl version 1.0.0.
1128 The affected dependent ports have had PORTREVISION bumps, but you will
1129 need to rebuild any applications that link to libmtbl.
1132 AFFECTS: sysutils/filebeat sysutils/metricbeat sysutils/packetbeat
1133 AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org
1135 The three elasticsearch beats ports have merged into one single port
1136 systuils/beats that installs all of the above and some more. The reason is to
1137 make the port more maintainable and also that the new heartbeat beat would
1138 conflict with sysutils/heartbeat.
1141 AFFECTS: devel/libevent2
1142 AUTHOR: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
1144 libevent2 has been renamed back to libevent as the default version.
1145 If you manage out of tree ports make sure to run the following:
1147 # pkg set -n libevent2:libevent
1148 # pkg set -o devel/libevent2:devel/libevent
1151 AFFECTS: users of Qt 4 and Qt 5
1152 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
1154 Following what is already done in Qt 5, the Qt 4 ports no longer install
1155 their binaries into ${LOCALBASE}/bin (which is "/usr/local/bin" in most
1156 cases). Additionally, the "-qt4" suffix has been dropped from the file names
1157 of the binaries that had it, such as "qmake-qt4".
1159 The new misc/qtchooser port is now used to choose whether a Qt 4 or Qt 5
1160 version of a binary such as "moc", "qmake" or "designer" will be used. By
1161 default, the Qt 5 versions are preferred, but that can be changed by setting
1162 the QT_SELECT environment variable to "qt4".
1164 qtchooser also allows one to seamlessly use other Qt installations for those
1165 binaries, which is particularly beneficial to people working on Qt itself or
1166 who need their own checkouts.
1168 See qtchooser(1) for more information on how to configure qtchooser.
1171 AFFECTS: users of www/node*
1172 AUTHOR: bradleythughes@fastmail.fm
1174 The BUNDLED_SSL option is now enabled by default on FreeBSD 10, since
1175 Node.js requires OpenSSL 1.0.2, and FreeBSD 10 is shipped with 1.0.1.
1178 AFFECTS: users of graphics/libGL, graphics/libEGL, graphics/libglesv2
1179 AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org
1181 The workaround for handling conflicting libraries between the
1182 nvidia-driver, libGL, libEGL and libglesv2 ports was removed. If the
1183 nvidia-driver port is updated before the other ports, it will remove
1184 the libraries of said ports. This is a side effect of how the workaround
1185 worked. If this happens reinstalling the affected port is enough.
1187 pkg users can run: pkg install -f libGL libEGL libglesv2
1190 AFFECTS: users of x11-server/xorg-server
1191 AUTHOR: rezny@FreeBSD.org
1193 Xorg server has been updated to 1.18.4 and autodetection has changed.
1194 The order in which drivers are now attempted is:
1195 1) vendor/model specific driver according to PCI IDs
1196 2) generic modesetting driver which requires a drm driver with KMS
1197 3) scfb, the generic framebuffer driver
1198 4) vesa (only if arch is x86)
1200 This should minimize the need for xorg.conf files. It is recommended to
1201 load the correct KMS driver (i915kms.ko or radeonkms.ko) via rc.conf,
1202 i.e. kld_list="i915kms.ko", to ensure correct functionality. Although
1203 the vendor drivers may attempt to load the correct drm driver, which
1204 does not always work, the modesetting driver assumes the required KMS
1205 driver is already loaded and will fail if there is none. The modesetting
1206 driver is now recommended as an alternative to the Intel driver; the
1207 performance is comparable and stability is better with modesetting. The
1208 ATI driver continues to offer better performance than modesetting.
1211 AFFECTS: users of security/libressl-devel
1212 AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org
1214 The version 2.5.1 bumps the libcrypto, libssl and libtls shared library
1215 versions. You will have to rebuild all packages that depend on
1216 libressl-devel. Check the 20160811 libressl entry for more detailed
1217 guidance on rebuilding.
1220 AFFECTS: users of www/uwsgi
1221 AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
1223 The previous disruptive changes to uwsgi for security have been remediated
1224 through creation of a dedicated uwsgi user/group and utilizing the
1225 uwsgi feature to set socket ownership. The uwsgi daemon by default now
1226 has the following properties:
1228 * Process runs as uwsgi user and group (UID/GID 165)
1229 * Socket mode is 660, still protecting unauthorized access from "other"
1230 * Socket ownership is www:www, restoring compatibility
1233 AFFECTS: users of devel/ice, devel/py-ice, devel/php5-ice
1234 AUTHOR: grembo@FreeBSD.org
1236 Since __WORDSIZE as defined by <stdint.h> always reports 32 when using
1237 C++98/03 (unless __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS is set explictly), Ice 3.6.3 used
1238 "long long" for Int64 instead of "long" on 64-bit platforms by mistake.
1239 A workaround has been added in version 3.6.3_2 of these three ports,
1240 requiring to upgrade all of them at the same time and to rebuild all
1241 custom code that links against them.
1244 AFFECTS: users of multimedia/motion
1245 AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org
1247 Version 3.x expected the configuration files to reside in:
1249 Version 4.x expects the configuration files to reside in:
1250 ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion
1251 This was unfortunately overlooked when the port was updated to 4.x, but it
1252 has now been fixed to install the default configuration file in the new
1253 location. The rc script now checks for motion.conf in the new location.
1255 While you may be able to simply copy your old motion.conf to the new location,
1256 it is recommended to review ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion/motion.conf and make
1257 changes to it based on your old ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion.conf as some options
1258 have been added and removed.
1260 Further, if you use motion with multiple cameras and have
1261 ${LOCALBASE}/etc/thread[0-9].conf files, they should be moved to
1262 ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion as well. These files are deprecated and should be
1263 renamed to camera[0-9].conf and in motion.conf, lines like:
1264 thread /usr/local/etc/thread1.conf
1265 Should be converted to:
1266 camera /usr/local/etc/motion/camera1.conf
1269 AFFECTS: users of www/uwsgi
1270 AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
1272 The default socket mode for uwsgi as 777 is a severe security concern.
1273 This has been remediated by changing the rc script to default to 600.
1274 The mode is configurable with rc.conf values: uwsgi_socket_mode="600"
1275 or for a profile named "www", uwsgi_www_socket_mode="600".
1278 AFFECTS: users of security/tinc
1279 AUTHOR: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
1281 this version of tinc requires all nodes in the VPN to be linked with a
1282 version of OpenSSL or LibreSSL that supports the AES256 and SHA256
1287 AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql56-server
1288 AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
1290 databases/mysql56-server was updated to 5.6.35 which included backported
1291 rc script changes from the mysql57-server port. This broke mysql_optfile in
1292 rc.conf and also forced a sample my.cnf if none existed. MySQL has
1293 some parameters which cannot be changed after a database has been
1294 created, so this caused MySQL to fail to start.
1296 This change was reverted in mysql56-server-5.6.35_1
1298 An additional change was made in mysql56-server-5.6.35_2 to prevent
1299 automatic loading of a sample my.cnf which was causing issues for
1300 users who were running without a my.cnf.
1303 AFFECTS: users of EoL'ed FreeBSD versions (<10.3, 11 prior to 11.0)
1304 AUTHOR: amdmi3@FreeBSD.org
1306 The ports system will now refuse to build anything if it's run on
1307 outdated system version. This protects users from unexpected build
1308 failures after code to support EoL'ed systems is removed from the
1309 tree. You may define ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM to override this and
1310 allow builds, but no support will be provided in case of failures.
1313 AFFECTS: users of java/wildfly10
1314 AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org
1316 The java/wildfly10 port has been updated to 10.1.0. To complete the
1317 migration you must copy your existing configuration (directories
1318 "appclient", "standalone", and "domain") from /usr/local/wildfly-10.0.0
