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. 20150822: AFFECTS: users of print/ghostscript* AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl} have been split into print/ghostscript{7,8,9,9-agpl}-{base,x11}. print/ghostscript*-nox11 ports have been removed. The -base installs Ghostscript binaries, libgs, and other data files and it depends on no X11 library. The -x11 installs a small shared library to enable x11* devices in the installed -base package. In most cases, Ghostscript is installed as a dependency. A port/package which requires Ghostscript will automatically pick up -base, and when x11* devices required it will pick up -x11 in addition. If one wants to install Ghostscript manually and full compatibility with the previous versions, just install -x11 because it installs -base as a dependency. Combination of the two provides the same functionality as before. 20150821: AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org OpenSSH 7.0 disables support for: * SSH protocol 1 * 1024-bit diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange * ssh-dss, ssh-dss-cert-* host and user keys * legacy v00 cert format See http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.0 for more information and http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html for how to re-enable some of these algorithms. 20150820: AFFECTS: users of lang/ghc and */hs-* AUTHOR: haskell@FreeBSD.org The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version 7.10.2 and Haskell Platform has been removed. As a result, it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports and the lang/ghc port itself in one of the following ways: # portmaster -w -r ghc or # portupgrade -fr lang/ghc In case of pkg(8), it is probably safer to remove all the GHC-dependent packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch. For example: # pkg query "%ro" ghc > ghc-pkgs.txt # pkg delete -y lang/ghc In ghc-pkgs.txt, check and remove all the packages that have been moved, then: # pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt` 20150818: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/s6 AUTHOR: Colin Booth s6-notifywhenup has been removed as of v2.2.0.0. Any run scripts using readyness notification must be updated to use a notification fd instead. s6-svc options have changed for sending syncronous up/down timeouts. Any management or wrapper scripts using those options will need to be updated. 20150817: AFFECTS: everybody who still uses _SET/UNSET in make.conf AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The use of _SET/UNSET has been deprecated for a long time, replaced by _SET/UNSET. It is now not supported any more. A warning will be issued telling you what to do, for example: $ make /!\ WARNING /!\ You are using perl_SET which is not supported any more, use: lang_perl5.20_SET= DEBUG 20150816: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/s6 AUTHOR: Colin Booth s6-notifywhenup is deprecated and will be removed in the next version of s6. Any run scripts depending on that program should be updated to use an in-servicedir notification-fd file as described under "Readyness notification support" in s6-supervise.html. 20150812: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/icinga and net-mgmt/icinga2 AUTHOR: lme@FreeBSD.org The Icinga port has been split into two ports: net-mgmt/icinga-core which contains the Icinga 1.x backend and net-mgmt/icinga-classicweb which contains the Icinga classic web (CGI) interface. The latter can be both used with Icinga 1.x and the Icinga 2 port (net-mgmt/icinga2). A new meta-port net-mgmt/icinga was added which depends on both new ports, so updating the Icinga port should be transparent. 20150812: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/moosefs-master and other moosefs packages AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org MooseFS ports have been updated to 2.0.72-1. Upstream has been providing a private package repository to distribute newer releases of MooseFS. These changes have now made it into the ports tree. This has resulted in splitting up the sysutils/moosefs-master port into several new ports: sysutils/moosefs-cli sysutils/moosefs-cgi sysutils/moosefs-cgiserv sysutils/moosefs-metalogger sysutils/moosefs-netdump You may need to install these additional ports/packages to restore the complete functionality of your MooseFS cluster. Please review the upstream documentation. http://moosefs.com/documentation/moosefs-2-0.html 20150809: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xfce4-power-manager AUTHOR: olivierd@FreeBSD.org After upgrading to 1.5.2, by default a label is displayed next to the panel icon (it shows percentage and remaining time). To hide this label, a new property /xfce4-power-manager/show-panel-label must be created: xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager \ -p /xfce4-power-manager/show-panel-label -n -t int -s 0 Possible values are: - 0 -> does not display label - 1 -> displays only percentage - 2 -> displays only remaining time - 3 -> displays only percentage and remaining time (default value) 20150806: AFFECTS: users of security/libressl AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org After upgrading to 2.2.2, manually update all packages that depend on any of the libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following command: # pkg info -r libressl Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling shared library dependencies. Poudriere and pkg handle this correctly, portmaster and portupgrade users can use the following to rebuild all dependent ports. Portmaster users: portmaster -r libressl Portupgrade users: portupgrade -fr security/libressl 20150805: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/tracker AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org The new tracker version does not build if the old version is installed. # pkg delete -f tracker After use your upgrade tool of choice. 20150802: AFFECTS: users of mail/opensmtpd AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org After upgrading, you will need to review all your configuration, as there are some configuration changes between 5.4.x and 5.7.1. 20150726: AFFECTS: users of ukrainian/monacofonts AUTHOR: mi@aldan.algebra.com The destination-directory used by monacofonts port was altered. The fonts-location changed from koi8u-monaco/ to koi8-u-monaco/ Users are advised to modify the path set in their xorg.conf files. 20150720: AFFECTS: users of print/texlive-base and other TeXLive packages AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org TeXLive in Ports Collection has been updated to TL2015. To upgrade installed old packages, upgrading of "tex-*" packages is required. If you have a problem with upgrading, please send it to freebsd-tex@FreeBSD.org and/or file a PR. 20150711: AFFECTS: users of graphics/gdal AUTHOR: sunpoet@FreeBSD.org Due to changes in header files, please deinstall gdal first while updating from 1.x to 2.0. 20150708: AFFECTS: users of security/libressl AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org After upgrading to 2.2.1, manually update all packages that depend on any of the libraries provided by LibreSSL (libssl, libcrypto and libtls) since the versions of these libraries have changed. Normally, you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following command: pkg query -e '%n = libressl' %ro Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling shared library dependencies. 20150707: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netmagis-* AUTHOR: pgollucci@FreeBSD.org Netmagis-* ports have been upgraded to 2.3.0. Upgrading from previous version require a database schema upgrade. See http://netmagis.org/upgrade.html 20150702: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/ffmpeg AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org ffmpeg has been updated to the latest version from the 2.7 branch. If you are using binary pkg, 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing. Users of portmaster/portupgrade must rebuild all ports that depend on it. Portmaster users: portmaster -w -r ffmpeg Portupgrade users: portupgrade -fr multimedia/ffmpeg 20150702: AFFECTS: users of net/ptpd2-devel AUTHOR: skreuzer@FreeBSD.org net/ptpd2 has been upgraded to version 2.3.1 net/ptpd2-devel is now deprecated and has been removed If using portupgrade: # portupgrade -o net/ptpd2 net/ptpd2-devel If using portmaster: # portmaster -o net/ptpd2 net/ptpd2-devel 20150628: AFFECTS: users of www/varnish, www/pecl-varnish, www/varnish-libvmod-header, www/varnish-nagios AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org Varnish 3.x has reached End of Life status and has been removed from the ports tree. If you were using www/varnish we urge you to to update to www/varnish4. The upgrade guide can be found here: https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/whats-new/upgrade-4.0.html www/varnish-libvmod-header and www/varnish-nagios have been updated to versions that work with Varnish 4.x. You should not lose access to this software. www/pecl-varnish was updated to the latest release which has added support for Varnish 4.x. Please note that it appears some functionality has been lost. This is unfortunate but out of our control. Details can be found here: http://pecl.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=varnish If for some reason you need www/varnish to exist in your ports tree for a bit longer you may consider instead following the 2015Q2 branch. Do note however that Varnish 3.x will not be receiving updates or security patches from upstream. 20150624: AFFECTS: users of devel/p5-Test-Tester and devel/p5-Test-use-ok AUTHOR: adamw@FreeBSD.org The Test::Tester and Test::use::ok modules have been rolled into devel/p5-Test-Simple, and are included in perl 5.22. The p5-Test-Tester and p5-Test-use-ok modules will be removed in one month. If you use either of those ports and have perl-5.22 installed: pkg delete p5-Test-Tester p5-Test-use-ok If you use either of those ports and have perl-5.20 or lower installed: portmaster -o devel/p5-Test-Simple p5-Test-Tester portmaster -o devel/p5-Test-Simple p5-Test-use-ok 20150615: AFFECTS: users of security/libressl AUTHOR: brnrd@FreeBSD.org After upgrading libressl, manually update all packages that depend on this library since its version has changed. Normally, you can obtain the list of dependent software by running the following command: pkg query -e '%n = libressl' %ro Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling shared library dependencies. 20150614: AFFECTS: users of audio/libmusicbrainz5 AUTHOR: jhale@FreeBSD.org libmusicbrainz5 has been updated to 5.1.0. Please rebuild all ports that depend on it. PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on dependent ports. If you use portmaster: portmaster -w -r libmusicbrainz5 If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -fr audio/libmusicbrainz5 20150613: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/avidemux26-* AUTHOR: riggs@FreeBSD.org avidemux26 has been renamed to avidemux If you are using binary pkg, 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing. Users of portmaster/portupgrade have to take a manual step: Portmaster users: portmaster -o multimedia/avidemux multimedia/avidemux26 Portupgrade users: portupgrade -o multimedia/avidemux multimedia/avidemux26 20150610: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql84-server AUTHOR: girgen@FreeBSD.org PostgreSQL-8.4 EOL was reached in July 2014. To upgrade to a later version of choice, you need to do a dump+restore of the database. Please follow the instructions at: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/install-upgrading.html 20150527: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/xfce4-power-manager AUTHOR: olivierd@FreeBSD.org Before upgrading, you must stop xfce4-power-manager daemon: xfce4-power-manager --quit 20150519: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/webmin and sysutils/usermin AUTHOR: olgeni@FreeBSD.org After upgrading to Perl 5.20 the /usr/bin/perl link will no longer be available. You will have to check your perl-path files and change the path of the Perl interpreter to "/usr/local/bin/perl": /usr/local/etc/webmin/perl-path /usr/local/etc/usermin/perl-path 20150513: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.20. If you are using binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, assuming you are migrating from 5.18 to 5.20, do: Portupgrade users: portupgrade -o lang/perl5.20 -f lang/perl5.18 portupgrade -f `pkg shlib -R libperl.so.5.18|tail +2` Portmaster users: portmaster -o lang/perl5.20 lang/perl5.18 portmaster -f `pkg shlib -R libperl.so.5.18|tail +2` NOTE: Perl has been removed from base more than ten years ago, so it was way past time for the /usr/bin/perl symlink to be removed from the port. If for some strange reason, you still need it, you will have to create it manually. IMPORTANT: In case you have not updated your system in a while, and specifically, followed the 20141126 instructions regarding the new Perl layout, you should follow those more extensive instructions rather than the conservative presented here. 20150510: AFFECTS: users of mail/postfix mail/postfix-current AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org The following OPTIONS where renamed to match the default used in most all other ports - SASL2 -> SASL - OPENLDAP -> LDAP If any of the old OPTIONS was enabled before, please re-run "make config". 20150508: AFFECTS: users of www/iojs AUTHOR: linpct@gmail.com iojs has been updated to 2.0.0. The binary modules may need to be rebuilt due to V8 version ABI change. 20150506: AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk13 with PJSIP (default on) and SRTP (default off) options enabled AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org This applies ONLY TO USERS COMPILING FROM PORTS: To avoid dependency problems, you must remove the pjsip port before upgrading asterisk13. # pkg delete pjsip # portmaster -a These steps are unnecessary for those using binary packages. Please see the 20150323 entry for background about this problem. 20150501: AFFECTS: users of graphics/qgis AUTHOR: brd@FreeBSD.org Following OPTIONS have been renamed in 2.8.1_1 to match upstream: - MAPSERVER to SERVER 20150427: AFFECTS: users of mail/opensmtpd AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org Following OPTIONS are being removed in 5.4.5p1: - LDAP - SQLITE - MYSQL - PGSQL - REDIS They are disabled/removed in upstream since 5.4.4p1, but did not get removed from port. 20150420: AFFECTS: users of devel/icu AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org icu has been updated to 55.1. Please rebuild all ports that depends on it If you use portmaster: portmaster -w -r icu If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -fr devel/icu 20150419 AFFECTS: Users of emulators/wine-devel AUTHOR: gerald@FreeBSD.org The COMPHOLIO option in emulators/wine-devel has been renamed to STAGING to align with the upstream evolution of that project. 20150417: AFFECTS: Users of audio/bcg729 AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org The Mediastreamer plugin included in this package has been separated into a new port audio/msbcg729. 20150409: AFFECTS: User of security/sguil AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org security/sguil was erroneously provisioned a UID that conflicted with the dns/dnscrypt-proxy port. A new UID and GID of 991 has been issued. Existing users will be able to upgrade the sguil packages without issue. The existing UID will continue to be used. If you do a clean install of security/sguil on a new server and migrate files or intentionally delete the sguil user and group and reinstall you may run into permissions issues. Examples include the /var/run/sguild and /usr/local/etc/sguild directories. 20150406: AFFECTS: User of emulators/xen emulators/xl and sysutils/xen-tools AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org sysutils/xen-tools has been renamed sysutils/xen-guest-tools emulators/xl has been renamed sysutils/xen-tools emulators/xen has been renamed emulators/xen-kernel A new emulators/xen has been introduced, it is a metaport that depends on emulators/xen-kernel and sysutils/xen-tools 20150403: AFFECTS: Users of irc/rbot AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Ruby Bot now has a new upstream maintainer. The project has been updated to work with Ruby 2.0+. Some migration is needed to move away from BDB regristry files. The guide for that is at https://github.com/ruby-rbot/rbot/wiki/MigrationGuide rbotdb can be used to backup a BDB database and then restore it to a working format for the new rbot. Update your conf.yaml after with 'core.db: tc' once converted. 20150331: AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org Subversion modules are no longer activated in httpd.conf! To activate the subversion apache modules a dedicated file will be installed as modules.d/220_subversion.conf 20150324: AFFECTS: Users of dns/bind9* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org This is only for FreeBSD 10.0+. BIND auto chroot has been added back to the named rc script. As enabling it by default would most certainly break people's setup, it is not. To enable it, and chroot it in /var/named, add the following line to your rc.conf file: named_chrootdir="/var/named" On first launch, the rc script will move the /usr/local/etc/namedb directory into the chroot, and create a symlink to it. Note that, if you're running from within a jail, you need to have a /var/named/dev devfs created beforehand, with the null and random devices. 20150323: AFFECTS: Users of net/asterisk* and net/pjsip ports AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org Due to conflicts between base OpenSSL and ports provided OpenSSL library, which is required by net/libsrtp, the srtp support has to be removed from the default asterisk13 port configuration, otherwise a not working binary would be generated. To get SRTP support working in the asterisk ports make sure all dependencies are linked against the same SSL library implementation to avoid runtime conflicts. On 10.1 everything will work fine unless ports SSL libraries are explicitly installed. On older OS versions(10.0 and earlier) you will need to compile all ports with WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes. To get working SRTP support in asterisk13 with the pjsip backend it is also needed to enable the EXTSRTP option in the pjsip port. If the CURL option is enabled also make sure the ftp/curl port is using a GSSAPI implementation linking to the same SSL implementation the other ports are using (BASE or NONE if you're using base OpenSSL, GSSAPI_HEIMDAL GSSAPI_MIT otherwise). If an incompatible option is being used the curl module will cause asterisk to fail on startup due to mixing calls to OpenSSL from base and from ports. 20150322: AFFECTS: Users of security/openssh-portable AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org The port now uses VersionAddendum for the port version string. Setting the value to "none" in your sshd_config and restarting openssh will allow removing the version from the banner. 20150321: AFFECTS: Users of x11-servers/xorg-server and other X servers AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org All fonts ports have been modified to respect XDG and install in share/fonts The Xorg servers now are looking there by default If you experience font related issues, view the output of # fc-list If the list appears incomplete or has fonts still pointing to /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts you may forcibly update the font cache: # fc-cache -fs 20150317: AFFECTS: users of editors/openoffice-4 and editors/openoffice-devel AUTHOR: truckman@FreeBSD.org Contrary to what is stated in pkg-message, openoffice-4 and openoffice-devel have stored user settings in ~/.openoffice.org-devel/4 since r325370 (2013-08-25). This update expects user settings to reside in the more standard ~/.openoffice.org/4. To preserve your user settings, rename or copy them from ~/.openoffice.org-devel/4 to ~/.openoffice.org/4. when installing this update to apache-openoffice-4.1.1_7 or apache-openoffice-devel-4.2.1652526_2,3. 20150313: AFFECTS: users of net/serviio AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The Java Polling Watch Service used in Serviio 1.5.1 is fixed. If you unchecked "Keep library automatically updated" with 1.5 (as recommended in the 20150206 entry) you can enable it again. 20150309: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/netdisco AUTHOR: dgeo@centrale-marseille.fr netdisco version has been upgraded to netdisco2 After upgrading, you will need to review all your configuration, as this new version won't read old config files. You'll be able to keep your data though netdisco-deploy command 20150305: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4 and multimedia/xfce4-parole AUTHOR: olivierd@FreeBSD.org Xfce 4.12 has been imported. Please use the following instructions to upgrade. For package users: # pkg upgrade For ports users: # portmaster -a # portmaster x11-wm/xfce4 GStreamer 1.0 is enabled by default in Parole media player. Xfce 4.12 now depends of Adwaita icon theme. If you are upgrading from Xfce 4.10 you probably still have the Tango or GNOME theme selected. Open the Settings Manager and select Appearance. Inside dialog box switch to the Icons tag and select the "Adwaita" entry in the list. 20150304: AFFECTS: users of security/libressl AUTHOR: vsevolod@highsecure.ru After upgrading of libressl you should manually update all packages that depending on this library since its version has been changed. Normally, you could obtain the list of dependent software by running the following command: pkg query -e '%n = libressl' %ro Then you should rebuild all ports depending on libressl to avoid dangling shared library dependencies. 20150301: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby20 AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org The default ruby version has been updated from 2.0 to 2.1. If you compile your own ports you may keep 2.0 as the default version by adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file: # # Keep ruby 2.0 as default version # DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.0 If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending upon how you manage your system. If you use pkgng, simply upgrade: # pkg upgrade -f If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend on ruby: # portmaster -o lang/ruby21 lang/ruby20 # portmaster -R -r ruby-2.1 If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend on ruby: # pkg delete -f ruby portupgrade # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade install clean # pkg set -o lang/ruby20:lang/ruby21 # portupgrade -x ruby-2.1.\* -fr lang/ruby21 20150227: AFFECTS: Users of games/trigger AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org games/trigger has been split and renamed to games/trigger-rally and games/trigger-data ports. Deinstall previous version before upgrading. 20150224: AFFECTS: Users of devel/qt4-linguist AUTHOR: makc@FreeBSD.org Linguist tools have been moved from qt4-linguist port to new devel/qt4-linguisttools port. Deinstall qt4-linguist before upgrading. 20150224: AFFECTS: Users of lang/ruby19 lang/ruby19 has reached its end-of-life and has been removed. The default version has been 2.0 for a while. Other available versions are Ruby 2.1 and Ruby 2.2. Users who have DEFAULT_VERSIONS=ruby=1.9 in their /etc/make.conf are encouraged to remove it or change it to an available version. 20150224: AFFECTS: Users of net-p2p/bitcoin (cli utilities) The bitcoin-cli and bitcoin-tx utilities have been re-packaged into a separate port. If you require these programs, or use the bitcoin-cli program to access the daemon or the GUI, install net-p2p/bitcoin-utils to reinstall them. 20150220: AFFECTS: users of PHP The default PHP version has been updated from 5.4 to 5.6. If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages before running 'pkg upgrade': # pkg info php5\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions are still installed, and reinstall them if needed. 20150213: AFFECTS: users who upgraded from FreeBSD 7.x or older with "make world" but never ran "make delete-old" AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org Dependency registration has been reworked. If you encounter the following error, you may have stale magic files for file(1): ===> bar-x depends on shared library: libfoo.so - not found You can remove the stale /usr/share/misc/magic.mime{,.mgc} files manually or run "make delete-old" in ${SRCDIR}. 20150207: AFFECTS: users of mail/opensmtpd-devel AUTHOR: ashish@FreeBSD.org MYSQL, PGSQL, LDAP, and REDIS options are removed from port, as they're moved upstream to a separate project, which is yet to release snapshots. If you need those options, then please install "mail/opensmtpd" port instead. To do that: If using portupgrade: # portupgrade -o mail/opensmtpd mail/opensmtpd-devel If using portmaster: # portmaster -o mail/opensmtpd mail/opensmtpd-devel 20150206: AFFECTS: users of net/serviio AUTHOR: netchild@FreeBSD.org The java dependency changed from java 7 (java/openjdk7 if you haven't installed another java 7 implementation) to java 8 (e.g. java/openjdk8). If serviio is the only reason that java 7 is installed, you can delete java 7 after the update to serviio 1.5.0. The Java Polling Watch Service used in Serviio 1.5 aggressively searches for file system updates. Until the Serviio poller is re-enabled in 1.5.1, consider unchecking "Keep library automatically updated" if you have a large media collection or are concerned about CPU/disk usage. 20150204: AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-(server|client) AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org The default MySQL version has been updated from 5.5 to 5.6. If you compile your own ports you may keep 5.5 as the default version by adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file: # # Keep MySQL 5.5 as default version # DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql= 5.5 If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any running server instance. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending on installed packages. # pkg set -o databases/mysql55-client:databases/mysql56-client # pkg set -o databases/mysql55-server:databases/mysql56-server # pkg upgrade 20150118: AFFECTS: users of www/thttpd AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org thttpd was updated to version 2.26, which brings several user-noticeable changes to the port: - Default WWW root was changed from ${PREFIX}/www/data to more expected (and standard) ${WWWDIR} (${PREFIX}/www/thttpd), be sure to check and adjust your thttpd configuration file and/or web layout accordingly; - Default CGI pattern was changed to "/cgi-bin/*"; this goes better in line with default installation; - Default data MIME type was changed to "application/octet-stream"; - thttpd's own htpasswd(1) program, which was previously installed as thttpdpasswd(1) to avoid conflict with other webservers, is now being renamed to thtpasswd(1); this not just makes it shorter, but is more consistent with popular GNU/Linux distributions; - Index pages for directories are not generated by default from now on for security reasons; an option (INDEXES) is provided to turn them back on if they are wanted; - IPREAL option (to respect (pass on) "X-Forwarded-For" header) is now turned on by default: it is often required when thttpd is used as a CGI server behind nginx (http://wiki.nginx.org/ThttpdCGI). 20150113: AFFECTS: users of www/pecl-http AUTHOR: vanilla@FreeBSD.org The pecl-http has been upgraded to version 2.1.4, and the new version is not compatible with the old one. If you need the "old" 1.7.6, you can find it in www/pecl-http1. 20150111: AFFECTS: users of lang/python3 AUTHOR: demon@FreeBSD.org The default version of python3 has changed from 3.3 to 3.4. If you wish to stick with older version, add "python3=3.3" to your DEFAULT_VERSIONS variable in /etc/make.conf. To upgrade: If using portupgrade: # portupgrade -o lang/python34 lang/python33 If using portmaster: # portmaster -o lang/python34 lang/python33 20150109: AFFECTS: users of audio/speex AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org The audio/speex port has been updated to 1.2rc2 and one of the libraries it installed has been split off into a new port audio/speexdsp. Before you can update audio/speex you must first delete the old package using "pkg del -f speex". 20150101: AFFECTS: users of net/unison and net/unison-nox11 AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org Unison has been upgraded to version 2.48, which uses a different wire protocol than 2.40 did. In order to support synchronization with other computers where Unison is still at version 2.40, a new port net/unison240 has been created. It provides unison240 and if that is GTK2-enabled, also unison240-text. This unison240 port can be installed in parallel with the existing net/unison port. 20141230: AFFECTS: users of deskutils/xpad AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org deskutils/xpad has been moved to deskutils/xpad3, since 4.x has been around for a while. Should you wish to stick with legacy branch at this time; # portmaster -o deskutils/xpad deskutils/xpad3 20141225: AFFECTS: users of graphics/png AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org The PNG library has been updated to version 1.6.16. Please rebuild all ports that depend on it. If you use portmaster: portmaster -r png If you use portupgrade: portupgrade -fr graphics/png 20141224: AFFECTS: users of lang/neon29 AUTHOR: ohauer@FreeBSD.org The port www/neon29 was renamed to www/neon and updated to version 0.30.1 If you use pkg, simply upgrade: # pkg upgrade If you use portmaster, rebuild ports that depend on neon: # portmaster -o www/neon www/neon29 # portmaster -R -r neon 20141219: AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg and all xorg ports AUTHOR: dumbbell@FreeBSD.org The X.Org server (x11-servers/xorg-server) is updated to 1.14. All ports which provide X.Org drivers must be updated simultaneously, i.e. x11-drivers/xf86-*, emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions, net/tigervnc, etc. The input device autodetection backend is switched from HAL to devd. If you configure your keyboard layout through HAL .fdi files, you need to migrate this configuration to plain X.Org configuration files. Up-to-date instructions and a description of the changes brought by this update are detailed in a blog post: http://blogs.freebsdish.org/graphics/2014/11/19/xserver-1-14-update-ready/ 20141219: AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/xymon-server AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org Xymon has been updated to 4.3.18. A major change is the replacement of the individual cgi shell scripts with symlinks to a cgi program written in C. This is to mitigate shellshock on Linux systems where the /bin/sh -> /bin/bash. FreeBSD users were not exposed except in the most unusual and unsupported circumstances. However, this is an important update for security. This change could break your configuration as Henrik describes here: > NOTE: Replacing the shell script wrappers means that the cgioptions.cfg > file is no longer processed as a shell script. The new wrapper works > fine with the default version of cgioptions.cfg, but it you have > modified it in a way that it relies on being processed by a shell, then > it will break. 20141219: AFFECTS: users of audio/abcde AUTHOR: gblach@FreeBSD.org In audio/abcde dependency has been changed from audio/py-eyed3-06 to audio/py-eyed3. Before updating audio/abcde to 2.6 you must manually deinstall audio/py-eyed-06: # pkg delete -f py\*-eyed3-06 20141218: AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org OpenSSH 6.7 disables some insecure ciphers by default, such as arcfour and blowfish. You may have clients using these over LAN where security is considered less important for the connection. For these cases you may need to update your Ciphers entry in your sshd_config to enable them again. See http://mgalgs.github.io/2014/10/22/enable-arcfour-and-other-fast-ciphers-on-recent-versions-of-openssh.html 20141217: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org Perl now links all .so it builds with libperl.so, it makes upgrading from one Perl major version to another way easier. For binary package users, it means pkg upgrade will detect the libperl.so.x.yy change, and reinstall the affected packages. For users using ports, it will save rebuild time as it's easier to detect what ports really need to be rebuilt. Ports users are encouraged to rebuild ports that install files in SITE_ARCH. If using Perl 5.18, run: With portupgrade: portupgrade -f `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u` With portmaster: portmaster `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u` 20141216: AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable, security/openssh-portable66 AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org All patches have been fixed for version 6.7. It is no longer required to use the security/openssh-portable66 port. The LPK option was removed from security/openssh-portable as it has been deprecated since May 2013. Use AuthorizedKeysCommand as a replacement. 20141215: AFFECTS: users of comms/spandsp-devel AUTHOR: pawel@FreeBSD.org comms/spandsp has been upgraded to version 0.0.6 comms/spandsp-devel is now deprecated and set for removal, all ports using it were converted to use newer comms/spandsp. Before upgrade you must remove comms/spandsp-devel so that ports can pick up new dependency: # pkg delete -f spandsp-devel 20141215: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f10 and emulators/linux_base-c6 AUTHOR: sbruno@freebsd.org The CentOS ports are now the default for stable/10 (after revision 275807). See UPDATING entry 20141209 for details on migration of systems. 20141214: AFFECTS: users of TeXLive AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org Several scripts in print/texlive-base have been moved to devel/tex-kpathsea. Upgrading them can fail because texlive-base depends on tex-kpathsea, and the new tex-kpathsea tries to install files which were installed by the old texlive-base. The following error message indicates this situation: pkg-static: tex-kpathsea-6.2.0_1 conflicts with texlive-base-20140525_3 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/kpsewhere To solve this problem, remove both of tex-kpathsea and texlive-base first and install the new versions: # pkg delete -f tex-kpathsea texlive-base 20141209: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f10 and emulators/linux_base-c6 AUTHOR: xmj@freebsd.org The CentOS ports infrastructure has replaced Fedora 10 as default. 1. Please delete all remaining f10 ports/packages: # pkg delete -f linux_base-f10 linux-f10-\* 2. Persistently update the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf: compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 This step is necessary on all FreeBSD versions, apart from 11.0-CURRENT (after revision 271982). 3. Reinstall all software depending on Linux emulation. As an example, reinstall linux-firefox: # portmaster -r linux-firefox or # portupgrade -f www/linux-firefox or # pkg install linux-firefox If difficulties are encountered, please follow the UPDATING entry 20140922 but skip step 2 (OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT and OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS in /etc/make.conf). In case these steps do not fix the issues, please submit an issue report in Bugzilla and send an email to FreeBSD's emulation@ mailing list. Users who need to continue using Fedora 10 base and userland should do the following instead: 1. Add these lines to /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10 OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10 2. Downgrade the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf on FreeBSD versions newer than and including 11.0-CURRENT (after revision 271982). compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 This is all that is needed to continue using an existing Fedora 10 Linux base and userland. 20141208: AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/poudriere, ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org 8.4 jails created with Poudriere 3.1, or poudriere-devel-3.0.99.20141117 should be recreated with 'jail -d' and 'jail -c'. This fixes pkg(8) crashes. 20141208: AFFECTS: users of databases/postgresql??-(server|client) AUTHOR: marino@FreeBSD.org PostgreSQL version 9.3 is now the default. To upgrade from a version lower than 9.3, follow the instructions on the PostgreSQL.org website. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/upgrading.html Please note that the pg_upgrade program is installed by the databases/postgresql93-contrib port When using binary packages, if you only use the client port, you can issue the following command to follow the default version: # pkg set -o databases/postgresql92-client:databases/postgresql93-client 20141205: AFFECTS: users of polish/kadu AUTHOR: pawel@FreeBSD.org Before running kadu 1.x for the first time upstream developers advise to backup your ~/.kadu directory. 20141203: AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/poudriere AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Poudriere has been updated to 3.1.0. See the release notes at https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/wiki/release_notes_31 for information on changed features and required setup. 20141130: AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (close to everyone) AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org The devel/gettext port has been split up in devel/gettext-runtime, a lightweight package containing runtime libraries, and devel/gettext-tools, a package containing developer tools. The devel/gettext port still exists as a metaport. You must first delete the existing installation of gettext and then reinstall it. This will break sudo, so you *must* do this in a root shell (sudo -i) if you use sudo. # pkg delete -f gettext # portmaster devel/gettext Or for portupgrade users: # pkg delete -f gettext # portinstall devel/gettext Or for binary users: # pkg delete -f gettext # pkg upgrade 20141127: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org There was a nasty bug introduced in the update below, it was introduced in SVN revision 373476 and corrected in 373485. If you get errors looking like this one: ===> Registering installation for p5-Params-Util-1.07_1 as automatic pkg-static: lstat(/usr/ports/devel/p5-Params-Util/work/stage/usr/local/./usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.16/auto/Params/Util/.packlist): No such file or directory *** [fake-pkg] Error code 74 You will have to wipe your ports tree clean. If using portsnap, with: portsnap extract If using subversion: svn revert -R 20141127: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The .packlist files are back, if you upgraded all your p5- ports yesterday and need them, you will need to reinstall them again, see yesterday's update for instructions. 20141126: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/x264 AUTHOR: xmj@FreeBSD.org With the recent split of multimedia/x264 in library and binary and library components, if an application that uses libx264 is updated before x264 itself, multimedia/libx264 will conflict with the existing x264 package. Delete this package before continuing any update that depends on it: # pkg delete -f x264 Install the updated x264 and/or upgrade the other applications that depend on libx264, such as ffmpeg. 20141126: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.* AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org The directories where Perl modules are installed has changed. All affected ports' PORTREVISION have been bumped, so upgrading should be as painless as possible. The old directories have been kept in the default Perl @INC to make it even more painless. The default Perl has been switched to lang/perl5.18. These examples are for switching from lang/perl5.16, if you are running a different version, replace lang/perl5.16 with the origin of the Perl you have installed. Binary package users: # pkg upgrade -f Portupgrade users: 0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety): pkgdb -Ff 1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.18): portupgrade -o lang/perl5.18 -f lang/perl5.16 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl: portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.18 Portmaster users: portmaster -o lang/perl5.18 lang/perl5.16 Conservative: portmaster p5- Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill): portmaster -r perl5- Note: If the "perl5-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify the name of the installed Perl package explicitly. You can get its name by running: pkg info perl5 20141125: AFFECTS: users of EFL libraries AUTHOR: gblach@FreeBSD.org EFL libraries has been merged into one port. Before installing devel/efl you must deinstall old EFL libraries: # pkg delete -f eina eet evas evas-\* ecore\* eio efreet embryo edje \ ethumb emotion # make -C /usr/ports/devel/efl install clean 20141125: AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/e17-module* AUTHOR: gblach@FreeBSD.org Enlightenment has been updated to 0.19.1. Some of e-modules can't be build with updated Enlightenment, these modules has been marked as broken. E-modules which work with new Enlightenment has been renamed to x11-wm/e-module-*. To update these modules you must call the following commands (substituting the name of module in place *): # portmaster -o x11-wm/e-module-* x11-wm/e17-module-* # portmaster -o x11-wm/e-modules x11-wm/e17-modules or # portupgrade -fo x11-wm/e-module-* x11-wm/e17-module-* # portupgrade -fo x11-wm/e-modules x11-wm/e17-modules 20141123: AFFECTS: users of security/heimdal AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org The header and library files have been moved from PREFIX/{include,lib} to PREFIX/{include,lib}/heimdal at r373047 to fix a library dependency confusion when software attempts to link a Heimdal library in base and an external library in LOCALBASE/lib at the same time. All of packages which depend on security/heimdal have to be recompiled and reinstalled because of this library location change. 20141119: AFFECTS: users of x11/gnome2, graphics/clutter and lang/vala AUTHOR: kwm@FreeBSD.org GNOME 3.14 was imported. Because this is a big change some manual help is needed. Please use the following instructions to update. Make a list of the installed ports: # pkg info > ~/installed-ports-list Delete the old and conflicting packages: # pkg delete clutter gnome-utils gnome-panel gnome-keyring vala-vapigen \ guile gcalctool gnome-media libgnomekbd gnome-themes at-spi # pkg delete gnome-screensaver gnome-applets bug-buddy \ evolution-exchange evolution-webcal gnome-system-tools \ seahorse-plugins gnome-control-center For package users the following lines will be enough: # pkg upgrade # pkg install gnome3 For ports users should do the following: # portmaster -a # portmaster x11/gnome3 After these steps, check with the list we made earlier if your favorite ports are still installed, and reinstall them if needed. 20141117: AFFECTS: users of security/openssh-portable AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Most of the optional patches for OpenSSH do not apply to the 6.7 update yet. The 6.6 version has been copied to security/openssh-portable66 if you require the use of one of the optional ports. 20141109: AFFECTS: users of multimedia/mediabrowser AUTHOR: woodsb02@gmail.com The default MediaBrowser database/configuration/logs/media metadata storage directory has moved from /usr/local/mediabrowser to /var/db/mediabrowser. Users are advised either to move the contents of the old directory to the new location, or to add a mediabrowser_data_dir entry to /etc/rc.conf. 20141029: AFFECTS: users of devel/libvirt AUTHOR: jgh@FreeBSD.org Application state and resource information has been changed from older path of /usr/local/var to /var. Users are advised to copy over contents of old var directory to new location if they wish to preserve resources from the old setup. 20141019: AFFECTS: users of x11/kde4-runtime AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE SC ports have been updated to 4.14.2. Several files have been moved between packages, therefore the following action is required before running any pkg/port upgrade utility: # pkg delete -f kde-runtime-4\* 20141008: AFFECTS: users of lang/ruby19 AUTHOR: swills@FreeBSD.org The default ruby version has been updated from 1.9 to 2.0. If you compile your own ports you may keep 1.9 as the default version by adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file: # # Keep ruby 1.9 as default version # DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=1.9 If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any software that uses ruby. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending upon how you manage your system. If you use pkgng, simply upgrade: # pkg upgrade If you use portmaster, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend on ruby: # portmaster -o lang/ruby20 lang/ruby19 # portmaster -R -r ruby-2.0 If you use portupgrade, install new ruby, then rebuild all ports that depend on ruby: # pkg delete -f ruby ruby-iconv portupgrade # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade install clean # pkg set -o lang/ruby19:lang/ruby20 # portupgrade -x ruby-2.0.\* -fr lang/ruby20 20141003: AFFECTS: xorg users AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org The WITH_NEW_XORG setting has been activated by default on all versions of FreeBSD, which allows us to have packages for xorg 1.12 and kde4. Please be aware that on systems that only support syscons switching virtual terminals or exiting X results in a black screen or the last image of their desktop (like a screenshot) being presented. Commands can still be typed blindly. Most, if not all, systems should be using vt(4) and this can be enabled by setting kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to activate. 20141001: AFFECTS: xorg users AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org The WITH_NEW_XORG setting has been activated by default on FreeBSD 10.0 and above, which allows us to have packages for xorg 1.12 and kde4. Please be aware that on systems that only support syscons switching virtual terminals or exiting X results in a black screen or the last image of their desktop (like a screenshot) being presented. Commands can still be typed blindly. Most, if not all, systems should be using vt(4) and this can be enabled by setting kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to activate. 20140930: AFFECTS: users of mail/maildrop AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org Due to the way pkg works please note that the configuration variables MAILDROP_SUID and MAILDROP_SGID, despite keeping their old names, are now required to contain a valid username and groupname existing on the system in which the package will be installed, while in the past numeric uids and gids worked fine. Wrong values will cause pkg to skip installing the setuid binaries on the system. Please check your configuration. 20140929: AFFECTS: users of comms/usbmuxd AUTHOR: avilla@FreeBSD.org libusbmuxd.so was split from comms/usbmuxd into comms/libusbmuxd. Remove usbmuxd before upgrading to avoid conflicts: # pkg delete -f usbmuxd If you need the daemon usbmuxd(1), you can reinstall the package after the upgrade. 20140928: AFFECTS: users of deskutils/calibre AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org The dependency on graphics/py-imaging in calibre has been changed to using the graphics/py-pillow port. Due to this change automatic updating of the port will not work correctly. It is suggested to remove calibre and py-imaging from the system and then reinstall calibre again using binary packages or ports. 20140927: AFFECTS: users of net/foreman-proxy AUTHOR: mm@FreeBSD.org In version 1.6 Foreman Smart Proxy splits its configuration into multiple ruby files located in PREFIX/etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d. The configuration of each service (dhcp, dhs, bmc, etc.) has been moved into a dedicated file. You can use a bundled script to convert your old settings to new settings: PREFIX/share/foreman/extra/migrate_settings.rb 20140926: AFFECTS: users of shells/bash AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Bash supports a feature of exporting functions in the environment with export -f. Running bash with exported functions in the environment will then import those functions into the environment of the script being ran. This resulted in security issues CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169, commonly known as "shellshock". It also can result in poorly written scripts being tricked into running arbitrary commands. To fully mitigate against this sort of attack we have applied a non-upstream patch to disable this functionality by default. You can execute bash with --import-functions to allow it to import functions from the environment. The default can also be changed in the port by selecting the IMPORTFUNCTIONS option. 20140926: AFFECTS: users of net/asterisk and net/asterisk11 AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org The asterisk ports have been modified to have the LUA option turned on by default to make such functionality available to users of binary packages. Some care should be taken before upgrading by people not using Lua to avoid the sample extensions.lua file from being loaded on reload after updating the asterisk port/pkg. Users compiling from ports not interested in LUA support are advised to disable the option before updating. People using binary packages(or not wanting to disable the LUA option in the port) not using the Lua functionality should add: noload => pbx_lua.so to the PREFIX/etc/asterisk/modules.conf file, if using the autoload=yes option in that same file. People not autoloading modules don't need to perform any special action. If asterisk is rebooted and the pbx_lua module gets loaded on a system were it should not, it will load the example extensions.lua configuration file adding unexpected logic to your dialplan. In such a case following the above steps and reloading asterisk will fix the problem. 20140922: AFFECTS: users of emulators/linux_base-f10 and emulators/linux_base-c6 AUTHOR: xmj@FreeBSD.org The complete drop-in replacement linux-c6 port infrastructure is in ports and will shortly replace the current linux-f10- ports as default. To switch to the linux-c6 infrastructure: 0. Back up all your vital information! 1. Remove the current linux base port and all linux-f10- ports: # pkg delete -f linux_base-f10 linux-f10-\* 2. Add these lines to /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=c6 OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=c6 3. Make sure no Linux application is running. 4. Update the Linux kernel version in /etc/sysctl.conf: compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 Make it take effect immediately: # sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 5. Install emulators/linux-c6. These steps are usually sufficient. If there are difficulties, expand step 1 to: 1a. Remove all ports which depend on the linux base port. 1b. Remove the linux base port. 1c. Clean the /compat/linux/ directory. If there are any other difficulties not fixed by these extended steps, please submit an issue report in Bugzilla and send an email to FreeBSD's emulation@ mailing list. 20140909: AFFECTS: users seeing build errors about missing *.la files AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org We are in the process of adjusting or, if possible, removing libtool archives (*.la files) from all ports because they can otherwise cause overlinking between packages. This is the problem where in the dependency chain A->B->C an extra link is added from A to C even if A does not use C directly. This makes some updates to port C expensive because then both A and B have to be rebuilt instead of just B. This is mostly behind the scenes work that you won't notice. In fact most ports have already been converted. You may however run into build errors about missing *.la files if a port update in the past went wrong and left behind *.la files with references to other *.la files that are no longer there. In this case, please run the following command: find /usr/local/lib -name '*.la' | xargs grep -l 'libfoo\.la' | xargs pkg which (Replace libfoo\.la with the *.la file that is missing.) This command will print a list of *.la files that refer to the missing *.la file and what package they belong to. First, where it says "not found in the database", remove the *.la file. After removing all such files, where it says "installed by package X", rebuild X. Eventually the list printed by that command will be empty and the build error should be gone. 20140826: AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/pkg, ports-mgmt/pkg-devel AUTHOR: bdrewery@FreeBSD.org Pkg has been updated to 1.3.7. This fixes registration and tracking of shared libraries. All earlier versions of Pkg incorrectly marked some shared libraries and used the wrong name for some. Please note announcement for special instructions at: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-announce/2014-August/000086.html - Users need to run 'pkg update -f' and 'pkg check -Ba' after upgrading to pkg-1.3.7 and before updating any other packages. This avoids needing to reinstall anything not needed due to changed shlibs. For binary package users: # pkg install ports-mgmt/pkg # pkg update -f # pkg check -Ba # pkg upgrade For port users: # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg build deinstall install clean # pkg check -Ba - People building packages for serving to other systems need to rebuild all packages with 1.3.7.
